An all time classic.

It doesn't really fit this situation, man.

No.  Not OK.

Etymologically speaking, a borough is just another word for a city.  I can see why a New Yorker might come to believe that it's a word for a subdivision of a city, but that's only because New York is so goddamned huge that it is actually made up of what used to be several smaller cities.

Word up, bitches.

Someone explain to me why we need a DSK movie.  Or a movie about any event less than five years old.  Can't we at least allow a modicum of historical distance before we go making films?

Fun fact; I initially read the name "Abel Ferrara" as "Abe Vigoda."

You can check me off the list too, I've been seeing someone for about a month now.

I'd like to declare my strenuous, unyielding opposition to the use of the word "filmumentary" to describe anything, ever.

Fats Waller is a dirty, dirty man.

Yes, I would really, really like to know this.  Is it just a weird British idiom I've never heard of? The best I can come up with is the idea of putting x's at the bottom of a letter. It's either that, or…the other thing.

@avclub-0aa1883c6411f7873cb83dacb17b0afc:disqus , when I'm talking about the localization being bad, I don't mean that the basic story and dialog is shitty.  I mean that the text in the game is riddled with errors of spelling and syntax.  It simply doesn't look professionally done; it's almost as if they got a team of…

I think you're overstating the case on IX.  Of the main characters, I would say that only Quina and Amarant are entirely dispensable to the plot.  The rest have perfectly valid reasons to be involved with the story, even if they aren't as directly plugged into the main action as Zidane and Garnet.

I almost cringe when newcomers play Final Fantasy VII, just because the presentation is amateur at worst and dated at best.  The localization especially is abominable, and the regular character models just look silly.  The fact that "kids these days" find it surprisingly good just goes to show its deeper qualities are…

I decided long ago that Final Fantasy IX was the last one I could truly call a classic.  I don't even recognize these games.  They're more or less a parody of the games I actually liked.  The newer ones can be entertaining, but I never feel compelled to buy them.

Or a week.  My friends camped out in my living room during spring break two years ago and played straight through it.  It was somewhat disturbing, but that's how it goes.

History lesson time!  This is what I choose to do rather than watch the game.

"Vaguely?"

I see what you did there?

@avclub-e14267dedd4e1d0cc0093bc13643fd59:disqus, I assumed that you would reason that slavery was both a social and economic force, being an institution that divided the population into discrete social and economic units.  If you don't accept that for some reason, then you could at least accept that slavery itself is…
