We would also have to give up at least a half-dozen first-round draft picks for Mexico to take the deal.

Hey, Mexico! Wanna trade presidents?!?

I think that if the goal was to make it feeling like a continuation of Thy Flesh Consumed, then it mostly works. I also know that not everyone’s gonna be into that anymore.

Like, it’s hard and has cheap shots. On UV, lack of ammo feels like a pretty huge problem. But it’s playful and there’s still a lot of…

The rest are fine, but what else could he possibly want after he finally got his Merman?

Bradley Whitford’s later career has been awesome. The Cabin In The Woods, Get Out, I even miss Trophy Wife.

Greetings, fellow Jack Vance fan.

Me too. I rode in a MI-17 variant of some sort while I was over, and I’ll never forget how the pilot took off at KAF. Listening in on the pilot chatter, Blackhawk pilots always had a crisp, well-rehearsed back and forth with the tower before they took off, and their flight pattern out of the airfield was a tight…

Backdraft had three things going for it - Hans Zimmer’s bombastic score, Kurt Russell’s ridiculous chemistry level, and an absolute masterclass by Donald Sutherland, who channeled all of his worst instincts as an actor (of which he has a multitude) into a witch’s brew of insanity that somehow plays exactly right.

It was a serviceable story with great actors, but the star was the practical fire effects, which were truly unique. They were new and bold at the time, and basically no one does them…

If it doesn’t work you can always hit him with it.

Soviet car heavy. Heavy is good. Heavy is reliable. 

I award it zero points as neither car shed a single hubcap.

The guy who made the Virus clearly had some serious fabrication chops, especially if he was using titanium. That stuff is light and strong, but notoriously hard to form, to the point where Russian aerospace companies sometimes machined whole panels out of cast billet rather than try to stamp it.

The definition of “shallow” now includes, “Know what you’re talking about before you speak”? It’s one thing to have an opinion, it’s another to go on at length about something you yourself never actually experienced. But everyone’s got an opinion about everything these days, whether they have any knowledge of the…

I have strong aversion to people commenting on or criticizing a piece of art they haven’t actually seen. A lot of people did that to (ironically enough) Passengers.

I don’t usually go for all the J Law hate, but this makes me really dislike her.
