Is it safe to call Kondo the John Williams as videogames? There are composers who write more complex music, but I can't think of anyone who has composed more (ugh) iconic, classic soundtracks than him?
Punch-Out, Super Mario Bros (2, 3, World, 64, Sunshine, Galaxies 1&2) Zelda (Every Zelda game, every one of which has…

Considering SMB has one of the most recognizable theme songs ever—even people who have never touched a videogame know what it is—I would say yes. As is mentioned in the interview, what was influential about it was the fact that sought to match the music to the environment and gameplay. The bouncy 1-1 theme matches the…

Right? The new game in particular (3D World) has a very jazzy soundtrack. Jazz and Mario just go hand in hand.

Well if it isn't Night Owl, Mary Jane, Robert Barone and Baby Matt Damon!

Yeah I found that to be a bad example. Hawkeye's page layouts are works of art; its use of blank space is crucial to the aesthetic of the book.
I think Guided View works really well for more traditional superhero comics, which sometimes get caught up in these big, dumb, convoluted page layouts and paneling to make up…

I prefer to use my tablet or phone to catch up on back issues, because lugging a bunch of comics into work is not super professional or practical. But I still get the newest issues of series I follow from my local comics shop. I don't mind the IDEA of reading comics on a smart-device, I just don't think they've nailed…

There HAS to be a longer cut of this movie where that gets addressed or foreshadowed in some way, because it really did come out of absolutely nowhere and was never touched upon again.
Their mom and dad seemed like a great couple!

I feel like I should mention that I thoroughly enjoyed Jurassic World for the dumb-fun blockbuster it was. But the second the dinosaur broke loose and the movie shifted away from the kids it was a better movie.

Once you've lost credibility with ScratStitch…I don't know, it's like getting called out by John Olliver. There's just no recovering.

Shut up, no we're not!

Eh, Futile Devices was the only Age of Adz thing on the setlist that I saw (it's my favorite Sufjan album, but I get that it wouldn't work in the context of Carrie and Lowel, which is totally opposite musically).
If you've heard his early stuff, Illinois and the new album you're set.

At first I was interested in the idea of a "brother" story, which was a very eighties/early nineties thing that you don't see too much anymore, and felt appropriate for a Spielberg-style film (Goonies, ET spring to mind). But man, did it suck. I get that they didn't just want to repeat the first movie wholesale, but…

I saw him perform in Columbus, OH. Incredible show; I was afraid the intimate nature of the songs would make for a boring show, or a disrespectful audience. But he added *just* enough instrumentation to each song to make them more appropriate for a live setting. And the audience was just rapt with attention; I've…

That's why he should have cast me to play his role instead.

Casting a stupidly attractive woman to play your love interest in a movie is kind of cheating, right? I mean, you're already Chris Evans. If that's not enough there's no hope for any of us.

I've been too scared to watch Reggie's last ep. Or any of the new Kid Cudi eps. I don't like change…or Kid Cudi.

Agreed. I've loved hearing stuff like Disney tearing his statue down; the worst punishment is just ignoring his legacy completely. Just treat him like he is: some gross criminal who abused people.

I mean, he's a comedian (mostly a writer/director, but still a comedian) and he's taking on a huge current event. That's par for the course. His race doesn't matter…that's just what comedians do. I seriously doubt he saw all this Cosby stuff and was like "Oh, awesome! This is a great way to score some points with the…

I actually like the Cameron one a lot. It's fun.
And…I love big twists, so long as they make a LITTLE bit of sense.

Any time people come up with these "It was all in this person's imagination!" or "They were dead the whole time!" (shout out to my avatar) theories, I just kind of roll my eyes. If Ferris was "imagined" by Cameron, why would there have been all these scenes that feature NEITHER of the characters? Why would the…
