Yes. If you go through the whole conversation tree with Legion you can express grave doubts about the morality of either option, but they're the only two that are presented.

Yeah, they say in ME2 that the Renegade interrupts are taking a "bold" action, while Paragon interrupts are taking a "heroic" action.

I just played ME2 for the first time last month, and that detail really struck me.

I dunno, I miss her Winter Soldier straightened hair. Or even her full-bodied mass of locks from Iron Man 2 by way of Brave.

He's saying that ideological disagreements between the X-Men are designed to move the story forward, not illuminate the human condition.

Yeah, the utter annihalation of Metropolis was tonally completely out of step with everything that Superman is supposed to be, I don't care how "realistic" it is. Instead of a joyful paean to hope—as personified by a godlike paragon who embodies the best we have to offer, a literal Super Man—it was a harrowing…

Yeah, I've heard about the script and shooting problems and I believe them. Like I said above, QoS has a few magic moments which remind you why you're in the theatre in the first place, but a lot of it just doesn't really work for me (or most people).

Yeah, fair enough. It just flat-out doesn't work for me. Of course, the same was true of the third Bourne movie, which was a crying shame because I enjoyed the hell out of the first two.

I'm mixed about the opening sequences of QoS. On the one hand, having it directly continue the end of Casino Royale was a stroke of genius, it's a genuinely exciting car chase, and the reveal that Mr. White was in the trunk the whole time was maybe the best pre-credits button I can remember in a Bond film.

Glen Weldon in particular can be almost preternaturally funny, and is one of the main draws for PCHH for me.

I also wish they'd completed the third movie in that story. It seems like James Bond went straight from a brand-new rough-and-cocky 00 agent to a worn-out, antiquated veteran with no interstice at all.

I don't think people disliked QoS because they prefer their villains to be generic "mean and dangerous" types. I think they disliked it because it was a pretty poorly paced, wildly uneven, largely joyless slog.

Yeah, the "Battle of Manhattan" skillfully walked a pretty thin line, showing the audience an enemy dangerous enough to be exciting while not showing (or even really implying) that they hurt or killed anyone at all.

Playing Red Dead Redemption instilled in me a great desire to learn how to hogtie a man.

They should replace the second Wayne Rogers with Iggy Azalea, just to see if anyone notices.

David Warner! Mom, I saw a David Warner!

I find Gourley really refreshing. Not only is he obviously a very talented improviser and impressionist, but his actual personality is … laid back. Understated. Certainly, he's almost terminally mellow compared to the outsized manics who populate the LA improv-and-podcast scene.

I've never heard of these 'adjustments'. Tell me more.

It's funny, I usually think that concepts like "momentum" are mostly the result of post-hoc rationalisation and narrative construction. The talking heads often start sounding off about a "change in momentum" before, shit, the leading team scores another touchdown.

True. But the officiating was a shitshow in all kinds of ways throughout the game. The refs handled the call-no-call very poorly, but the Lions managed to lose that game all by their lonesome.
