“learning nothing from Taylor Swift...” Except that as I recall Swift’s problem was the rights to her music being swept out from under her by someone with a grudge whereas Springsteen is making his own decision.

Harsh reality time: The only remedy for things like this is sustained and uncomplaining voting for Democrats for many years to come. We Liberals, though, though seem to prefer to lose and complain than to win consistently and inch towards our goals.

I’m shocked. I thought they had non-White human NPCs running around years ago. They’re literally just doing this now?

This is depressing.

What I hope happens it that the brand name becomes 007, not Bond, and every few movies we can meet an entirely new person to take up that mantle.

Unless of course one is supporting a Republican Supreme Court nominee, a Republican President, a White fratboy, or said Republican President’s bestie, in which case it’s a great look.

No one’s ever answered me, how’s the rape mechanic of the game? Is it just one click or are there, like, rape comobs? Will the DLC change that mechanic?

Dumb question: If it’s a budget concern, why not just animate all of it and use completely simulated voices? Those do exist.

I take violation of smoking laws and public transit fare laws a lot more seriously than I think this author does but I take police making shit up (and worse things) even more seriously.

Reality check: With the current makeup of the Supreme Court, there is no realistic chance that pro-choice prevails. So you can stop your hand-wringing, we have lost. If for some reason I’m wrong I’ll be both incredibly shocked and very curious to read the decision to find out the specifics of how. (So I guess a win…

I think the younger folks who were going to be interested in such a movie would be looking for something that looked more like the real Middle Ages — this movie seems like its view of what those times look like is stuck in around the time that Ridley Scott would’ve been going to school, around 7 decades ago.
