I actually came down here to say more-or-less the same thing. Tower Records, for example, is still thriving in Japan. When I was in Tokyo recently, I went to the massive flagship store in the Shibuya district - one of several Tower locations in Tokyo - and picked up some good albums.

If you want to know more about the making of 'Hot to Trot' - and really, why wouldn't you? - you should check out this brief story from Andy Breckman, one of the film's writers:

Ooh as long as we're talking about bad movies with portentous names, how about 'Premonition,' where Sandra Bullock inadvertently time-travels to the future because (spoilers) she lacks adequate faith in God and doesn't adhere enough to Christian family values.

Maybe you need to read more reviews, so that you can see some multiple Regression analysis.

So, Scarlett Johansson really likes playing superhuman/post-human/non-human beings; I've seen at least 3 movies so far where she's some sort of not-quite-human alien entity (Under the Skin, Lucy, Her).

There's also 'Hardcore' - the other ultra-eXxXxtreme first-person action movie slamming into your face in theaters soon.

Santa likes seltzer with his salsa, Sansa. He simply senses a scintilla of cilantro, and it incites Santa's senses.

Um, no, you eat most of the chocolate side first, but you leave a little bit at the border where the chocolate meets the vanilla, then you eat the rest, which will be mainly vanilla with a little bit of chocolate mixed in. Everybody knows that. Have you ever even had a cookie before?

I lived in the Detroit area for a while; without knowing the hard numbers, I think it's entirely possible that the Michigan cities with the most severe economic problems are also the cities with the largest non-white populations (and to be clear, I think that's due to systemic racism, not some innate quality of…

I don't know the exact situation in Ferguson but, like the OP mentioned, you can't really talk about low voter turnouts in US elections without also talking about the pervasive, systemic strictures that many states have in place to ensure that those turnouts remain low (especially in non-wealthy, non-white…

Yeah, me too. First, the narrative was that the emergency manager of Flint (under the supervision of Governor Snyder) switched the water supply to save some cash, and the administration was simply ignorant of the risks associated with potentially corrosive river water: still an unconscionable act of negligence, but…

Ah fuck it, here are 10 more:

So is this the time for people to post some of their favorite lady-directed films? I think it is! Here are 10:

Okay, this ended up being another super-long essay-comment (anyone who reads the whole thing, I appreciate it), but here we go…

This isn't about the active targets - it's the random people in the background whom you can choose to attack or not.

Um, she doesn't mean that 'video game characters should be treated as if they're real-life, flesh-and-blood people who actually exist.' They're 'people' as much as characters in other media are - I think that's really all she meant

The whole "she doesn't even play games" thing is basically based around a single, offhand comment she made in a video about how she doesn't consider herself a "gamer." So much of the disdain for her is basically a big confirmation-bias sandwich.

I think there might be other ways to complete those missions (and technically, I think what you're supposed to do isn't kill strippers so much as knock them unconscious), but thunderf00t's claim is that the game actively punishes the player for doing this kind of thing, while in actuality there are times when the game…

I'll do my best to explain from my perspective (I haven't seen the videos in a while): The relevant bit from Sarkeesian is in a video about what she terms "Women as Background Decoration," and she points out that many games - Hitman: Absolution among them - include many sexy, scantily-clad female NPCs whom the player…
