I am not at all a fan of where the industry is going or the anti-consumer ideas (DRM, Microtransactions, etc...) that have cropped up from almost every major studio publisher over the last five years or so. Having said that, Gamer Culture is also a major problem that only seems to be getting worse. The writing has…

I don’t believe The Predator, as they originally pictured it, was ever going to work. To be honest, I don’t even think the public at large really cares about Predator as a franchise. In 2019, a Predator sequel is really only going to appeal to 80s kids who grew up with Predator and Predator 2. Holywood needs to…

Boba needs a scene where he’s buying a discount jetpack, and the merchant says, “Hey buddy, you know those X-38 Jetpacks are pretty unreliable. In fact, some have been known to spontaneously ignite if you treat ‘em too rough...” And Boba just cocks his eyebrow and replies, “Don’t worry about me, I can handle myself.”

Gamer culture has been like this for a long time- entitled, hyper-critical, and perpetually confusing cynicism with profundity. It’s discouraging to see that there is still a very, vociferous subset that is bound and determined to keep the hackneyed Gamer stereotypes (e.g. being a petulant man-child) alive. That’s why…

I’m getting old and I know it, but I kinda hate where this trend is going. The industry is trying to phase out physical media and consumers are just going along with it. Don’t people see that the price of all this convenience is loss of ownership and control over what we buy? If that sounds hyperbolic, then just look…

Good. Beetlejuice doesn’t need a sequel, prequel, or reboot. We all need to stop giving studios money everytime they drag something from our childhoods (or before) out for a new spin. People complain that Hollywood has run out of ideas, which is false and lazy thinking. We just need to use our wallets to let them know…

Poor Americans are living in a literal dystopia of crushing debt, increasingly bad jobs, and poverty wages- and have been for a long time. All the while we repeat the mantras telling us we are “Greatest Country in the World.” None of this makes sense. I don’t know how to fix it, but if we want to do better our country…

It’s interesting how first-person games handle the player character’s body in certain ways. Doom (‘16) and Wolfensteins The New Order and The Old Blood hid the player’s body as much as possible. The video says Doom removes the helmet to prevent it from clipping through the camera, which makes sense, I guess. Hiding…

I’ve been one of Halo 5's staunch defenders from the beginning, even concerning the campaign. I think a lot of the backlash was a result of the way MS advertised the game’s plot, which was blatantly deceptive. Never the less I think the criticism here more than fair. But H5 deserves big credit for how it handles loot…

It’s not just Tucker, he’s just one bow-tie wearing douche bag. This is the narrative everyone at Fox News and Fox Business works to push. Everyone from Hannity to Dobbs and Charles Paine run bits that reinforce the notion that “The Liberals” are dangerous, fanatical and unhinged. According to them, Democrats are the “…

While I love the Batusi, Catwoman won me over with her dance here. Catusi?

I love how the fanboys are all up in arms about WWII-style ”bombers” in the Last Jedi- as if up to that point Star Wars had been a remotely realistic depiction of interstellar warfare. Nevermind all the ninja-wizards fighting with glowsticks and all those robots with their rich emotional lives.

How is this the only Meet the Feebles comment on this thread (as of right now)? Correction: didn’t scroll down far enough:(

This was actually my problem with Infinity War- once Spiderman and Black Panther faded away (characters/actors we know are going to be in planned sequels) I realized that the entire ending was going to be reversed. And if that can be reversed, then all of it could hypothetically be reversed, if the writers want to.…

I keep wondering how it is that we keep getting awful Predator sequels that somehow just keep making one of the most iconic movie villians of my childhood less and less compelling. Then I remember that the only real surprise is that the original worked as well as it did. John McTiernan and Shane Black somehow found a…

I guess it pays to get more specific. Humans and Mosquitos are always going to be the obvious answers to the deadliest animal question. I want to know which big cat species is most likely (rare though it may be) to view humans as “prey?” Leopards I know are fantastically cunning and vicious predators. Which bear is…

Really want that Big Chap figure. $77 is a lot for me to spend on a toy however, even if it is an amazing homage to my favorite version of the Alien, from one of my all-time favorite movies. Lower the price Takeya, is what I’m saying!

Tell me about it. I’ve been commenting here off and on, for almost 10 years, and was in the black once upon a time. I have been a gray outcast for the last 6 years or so.

I don’t care that Robocop 2 was an objectively inferior follow-up to Verhoven’s classic, I mean, that’s a high bar. I still like it. And for what little it’s worth, the eponymous cyborg “Robocop 2" -the one with the insane drug-dealer/cult leader brain- is one of my all time favorite robots, in terms of visual design.…

Well no shit. Has nobody seen infant and fetal skeletons at museums or, I dunno, the freakin internet? I knew it was fetal remains the moment this story emerged. I had assumed the case was closed. I’ll get my own cookie, thanks.
