I support idiots doing it to their own damn selves, I truly do. I don’t agree with what Manning did for the initial wikileaks release and never have, especially after I read the old transcripts when she was still Private Bradley Manning in chatrooms w/ Asange. There were much better avenues for what she intended (and…

“suffering physically and pyschologically” Boo-fucking-hoo. If only there was a way for Manning to immediately and trivially end her “torture” and keep her house and not pay any fines at all, while also staying out of the news-cycle. Fuck you and fuck her and fuck her lawyers!
There is a PHENOMINAL fan edit of this movie called Pearl Harbor: Strength and honor. The editor added a few scenes from the unrated version and chopped off a full hour from the running time, just completely cut out full story arcs. The love triangle is gone, ALL the romance scenes are gone, a lot of the stupid…
Who would win, Star Trek or Star Wars? It's the dumbest debate ever, of COURSE Star Wars wins. when you have a universe nominally based on actual science vs a universe that just makes up rules according to "it looks cool on screen" then of COURSE Star Wars win!

Whether you go by what's in "official" books or what you see on screen, the Star Wars ships completely trounce the Trek ships. A star destroyer would DECIMATE a Federation ship of any class or period, in fact Jango Fett's Slave I is a roughly even match for the entire…
Why has HG never gone back to the well and just rewritten another existing anime into a sequel? I mean, we had Robotech: The Movie, surely they could have done it again. Is it just a matter of no anime companies will let HG near their IPs for fear of what happened with macross/Southern Cross/MOSPEADA? Because that…
Most underrated show, by far. I recently rewatched it all again and season 1 and half of season 2 hold up to most "proper" TV shows today. It's Band of Brothers in space for young adults. With mecha. And some of the best toys that ever existed.
Long story arcs based loosely on WW2, character arcs that constantly…
20 years later, The Mad Bomber What Bombs at Midnight is one of my favorite villains and episodes ever. Nobody ever gets the reference when we're driving and I say "wait, wait, wait, GO NOW, NO, wait, wait wait!"
Nowhere near "best ever", but fantastic nonetheless! REALLY glad it ended after only 63 epidoses and Ichigo had a legendary confrontation with Aizen and everything resolved instead of getting all the way to the ultimate fight only to have the main bad do a completely-out-of-left-field shield & fly away to artificially…
Now playing
This blindsided me and knocked the wind out the first time i saw it. It was incredible, I actually teared up watching it. Superbly powerful twist that changes the entire tone of the interactions with that character when you play through it again. The Boss literally had the noblest intentions with her betrayal and, in…
We still release such things, they're called teasers.
I've said much the same thing before, it's a funny ending in the "holy crap, they actually did that" style and a fitting ending to the rest of the movie and satisfying in the sense that movies so rarely ever ACTUALLY give you the what-if ending. BUT, the reasons stated in the movie are bullshit.
I've always had a big problem with Cabin in the Woods. The premise is that we need to thwart these evil people sacrificing humans to these dark gods and if humanity needs to be completely uprooted to do it, so be it. But these dark gods, they are still around. Killing billions of people means nothing, it doesn't…
That was my breaking point too. I struggled through the 9th book and came away pretty dissatisfied. My speedreading friend finished the 10th book in a day or two and when I asked him if it was worth bothering with, he looked thoughtful for a moment and then said "not really" and I was done. I have considered going…
Somebody needs to hire Kevin Conroy to redubb all the movies. I would buy them all this minute.
