How about a narrative that has strong female characters, but which also isn't ponderous and boring?

At least now I can feel morally justified in not going to parties! My music is too good for them, dammit!

GY!BE a "polarizing band"?!?

Did they turn her in? I thought the camera and mike picked up her talking about her previous life, and that was what started the mob frenzy.

Honestly, if I were Pilcher I'd just say "Ok, clearly a few of you want to leave. Go right ahead! We'll escort you a ways out of town and give you some supplies, on the condition that you never ever come back. If you do try to come back, you will be shot on sight". I'd see that as a reasonable offer, considering that…

"There could be more to it than just a flat, boring movie, though: Elliott has publicly blamed the Catholic Church for the lack of a sequel, saying, “The Catholic church happened to The Golden Compass, as far as I’m concerned.”"

Yeah, but ultimately it was the wrong choice.

They get much worse after the first one. I liked the set-up of the town, and thought that elements to the mystery were laid out in a way that kept you guessing. And the twist was neat.

Not surprising. But disappointing. Assuming they were actually filming in London, they could have walked a hundred metres in any direction and tripped over a real Australian. There's ever so many of them.

Don't know. I couldn't find her in the cast list.

"I don't have Aspergers! I'm f*ckin' Australian!"

I don't usually get the "anxiety" that the author describes, but I do get burned out a lot. In fact, I don't think I've finished more than a couple of open-world games in the last 10 years. Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Far Cry 3, Dying Light, a couple of Tales games, the GTA games, Just Cause 2, and many more that I'm…

So, they're getting better?

It's a sign of how far the group has come that, throughout the hour, I was more concerned about Rick and co. doing something nutty than I was about any of the people in Alexandria.

The other inmate is Captain Boomerang.

She offers anal in exchange for saving the world. And the last shot of her is of her spreading her butt-cheeks.

Forget the heads of state exploding. The film also includes about 10 straight minutes where presumably everyone in the world with a cell phone is wailing on each other with wild abandon. Literally every second that the hero wastes giving the defeated henchwoman a cheeky grin, thousands of people are being beaten to…

Speak for yourself. I found a Renegade playthrough to be loads more fun than one as a Paragon goody-goody. Paragons don't get to punch annoying reporters in the face or kick bad guys out of hundred-story windows.

Ashur and Crixus are now in the same place. The world is crying out for a reunion Spartacus team-up.
