I love Velvet Goldmine so much, and it's the perfect film to watch to mourn David Bowie

Trump is a huge fan of Citizen Kane, oddly enough. I'm not joking

if they really, really, really need to, the videogame added a bunch of plot and backstory which was pretty good. so they could adapt the videogame. but i doubt whatever hacks do this will be as good as Rockstar

i guess we should be glad they're still putting Darkstalkers characters in MvC

Darkstalkers is probably my favorite fighting game ever, that downloadable collection is gorgeous

yeah it's nothing I love about superheroes. meanwhile Marvel vs Capcom is just FUN!

what you said, exactly. its such bullshit. every time I open up Mortal Kombat XL to play with my friends it runs a bunch of annoying mobile online game crap

yes, as I've made clear a zillion times. especially if the story is grim and gritty fascist nonsense. MvC has a story - Galactus is coming, will you help him or fight him? and it's got cool vignettes like Dante fighting Ghost Rider, and pre and post match quips!

make it like Smash Brothers, toss in every obscure character you can think of, it'll be rad

there's an issue of the iconic Alan Moore run where Swamp Thing takes over Gotham, it's great

yeah I'm a Grant Morrison fanboy so I'm not objective, but All Star Superman is so beautiful. and it's still fun!

yeah read All Star Superman. Superman as a Buddhist style symbol of hope

that show was great

yeah, they were halfway through making Monkey Island when they read On Stranger Tides, which inspired the rest of the game, which I think inspired Pirates 1, who finally paid Tim Powers for Pirates 4?

yeah the first one just… swashbuckled! Everyone was making quips and sword fighting and stealing treasure, it was a ton of fun

i want to see it because it's based on a Tim Powers novel, but a. I'm probably in the minority and b. Monkey Island is based on the same book and that's better

I really liked A Cure for Wellness so I was kinda hyped

A Cure For Wellness was really beautiful, so I'm almost tempted to see this. And I'm on a Tim Powers kick, so should I see On Stranger Tides, based on one of his books?

I'm shocked that this isn't just wall to wall Bone Wars and Bone Bandit jokes.

yeah but in Australia we legit have a ton of beaches, and our Surf Livesavers are true heroes who have reality shows and shit. fuck i'm a shut in AV Club nerd & i spend my summer at beaches, dodging jellyfish and sharks
