Great. While you’re sticking by your principles, why do you still have a Twitter account?
On the very first day of journalism school, we are taught not to make ourselves the story. When media outlets decide they’re going to stop covering something because of the creator’s personal opinions, they start themselves down a very slippery slope of looking down their noses from their glass houses and deciding…
Then they’re written on post-its and stuck somewhere visible.
Respectfully, someone who is currently 21 years old is not a Millennial.
I don’t even want to know the top 10 most common passwords in the U.S. military, but I guarantee you that ‘password’ and ‘12345' are not uncommon.
When my mom saw his picture, all fresh faced and boyish, she gasped and said something about he was so young to have ruined his whole life. And I cynically said something in response like, “Don’t let it fool you. I give it 24 hours before we’re swimming in his internet history as a gun-humping racist chode.” I think…
yeah, gonna come out and say the dude’s age has squat to do with this. the guy is obviously a real tool.

I think you’re seeing that because it’s referencing, at least some of, the criticisms calling the movie bad because it’s obviously aimed at kids. The Gizmodo review literally says the movie isn’t made for anybody that “lived through” Mario’s 30 year history.

I got the Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt NES for Christmas as a kid, I spent a year of college playing Mario Kart 64, and I’m excited to see this movie with my kids tomorrow because they can enjoy something I grew up with and then moved past. I’m expecting a colorful kids movie with a few nods to older…
The Mario movie is a nonstop conga line of references to video games that came out decades ago. It brings back the “Mario is from Brooklyn” origin which hasn’t been canon since 1995 but which is popular among anyone who grew up watching the 1989 Mario cartoon series. At one point they do the DK Rap for no reason.
Yeah everyone I know who has seen it has raved about it, both for kids and for themselves.
The nerd press is going to stay mad that Nintendo decided that to not make a Mario movie for middle-aged nerds.
No, actually. The general consensus of movie critics and writers of articles like this is that the Mario movie is obviously terrible. Audiences are loving it, based on the box office numbers.
“If a good movie is successful, people will make bad movies." Is this a joke I'm missing?
Dude, the URL for MGDMT is literally “The Punchline is Machismo” (.com, of course).
It’s from the same woman who did MGDMT? Fucking sold! Every Magikarp I catch in Pokemon is named Mr. Fish because of that comic.
