YES.

Yeah, a pretty incredible bait and switch. Didn't they show Plant levels with Snake in them in demos just to hide the change?

Awesome, I'll give it a look. Thanks!

Being among people cheering for a massacre in a movie and then watching people in a movie cheering a massacre in a movie and then watching said people in the movie be massacred in a movie theater.

I don't think that's what Nolan was saying at all with Memento. You could maybe argue some of his other movies do this, but I think Memento has a twist that strongly resonates with the themes and actions that occur onscreen and ultimately makes it a much better film.

I think people give Spec Ops: The Line a lot of leeway because it was trying to say something, but that doesn't excuse that it goes about saying it so stupidly.

Poor Franz Ferdinand. Much better than anyone gives them credit for being.

Yeah I read that and thought "whoa, you must not like… uh… most art?"

Depends on how you theologically approach it and, really, which Gospel you're drawing from.

Yeah, I think it was here (or linked from here), that I once read a really good breakdown of WHY it wasn't really about the lipstick thing and how that was just a reactionist, surface reading of it. I wish I could remember where it was, though.

I seem to recall it having some racist overtones that made me uncomfortable, but I don't remember anything specifically.

Whoa, I somehow didn't even know it was a book. Is it still worth reading for an adult or is too "kiddish?"

Good thing you can enjoy art separate from those who made it!

NOPE.

@avclub-f2b489efd726db529335e31c83509c73:disqus Must've been. I feel like The Prestige is a pretty impressionable movie in one way or another.

Wait, Red Son was by Mark Millar? How did I not know that? Ugh. Is it worth reading? Or does it read like his other 13 year old wanking?

Haven't seen it, but based solely on one of the line's in the AV Club review, there's gotta be a twist about
