True!

I couldn't figure out what to pick for this one, but GROUNDHOG'S DAY should've been it. I love that movie so much, and that last line always kind of bugs me. It's just so unnecessary.

Any kind of compliment you want to give me, I'll take it. And I will take credit for the font, if need be.

Fuck that level.

And over. And over. AND OVER.

And over and over and over and over.

Only if they let you punch the ride over and over and over again.

The first Metroid is hella creepy. It's a straight up horror sci-fi game. I mean, the last boss you fight is a giant brain in a jar.

"I found that the battle came down to who happened to have the most valuable cards in their hand, not to any sort strategy, and the advantage earned here could turn the course of the entire game."

I'm not shortchanging it. Just describing my reaction to an ending that seemed too sweetly naive to appeal to me.

I haven't listened to a Bill Hicks album in years. To be brutally honest, I'm scared to go back.

I tried reading through the series a while back because of its reputation (as a formative indie comic classic, not the other stuff), and I just ran into a brick wall somewhere around Jaka's Story. This was before Sims went 'round the bend, woman-hating-wise; I just got so bogged down in the endless prose-and-pictures…

It's apparently even worse in the source material. McClane is trying to save his daughter, not his estranged wife, and at the end, the daughter is dragged to death because the villain won't let go of her watch—ie, the symbol of the daughter's independence and allegiance to her new corporate masters. (That _almost_…

I really enjoyed The Man Who Was Thursday until the last twenty pages or so, when it got all gooey.

I think Star Trek is noble in its aspirations, even if the execution is understandably and inevitably flawed. It gets better as it goes.

Okay, re: Erik Adams' reviews, I don't think that's true, and also I'm not sure how that's immediately relevant, since I wrote this essay, not Erik. (However, I totally agree that I'm not perceptive enough to regularly review this show, so that's cool.)

Agreed, that's a fantastic scene, and maybe this essay would've been better if I'd focused on it more; I found myself so interested in Paige's situation that I underplayed the rest of the season's major threads. (And that's arguably the second biggest right there.) The only thing I can offer in my defense is that…

Well, I'm not sure if you're upset about this particular review or the show's TV Club coverage in general, but I wrote this piece, not Erik.

"Elizabeth did not show Paige a photograph of her grandmother, IIRC. She tried to heal their rift by telling Paige a story about her grandmother while they sat in the garage."

I did mentioned it, though? I didn't really dissect it, but I definitely brought it up.
