“Emotion is central to immersion and immersion is central to good storytelling.” Also, this is a silly and reductive way to think about storytelling. It’s not all about feeling things; there’s also plenty of thought and craft and cleverness in storytelling. You should expose yourself to those things.

This is a non-religious version of all those Christian movie rating sites that rate movies only on their lack of profanity, nudity, drugs, etc. This isn’t for people who want to explore artistic phenomena and challenge themselves; and since there are plenty of places for people who want a more artistic expression, this…

Consider my life... hacked!

Fog is not fog of war. These are two distinct concepts; the first is an actual phenomenon that obscures your vision, the second is a metaphor for not knowing the current state of affairs in a conflict. You meant fog.

Ascends. From the heavens. Really. This is where we are at?

This is the cognitive dissonance of the internet. We think that when we’re here we’re being sarcastic, witty, informative, or even eloquently combative. What we are actually doing is going I SEE A DOGG! I SEE A MEME! I SEE AN IMPOPULAR OPINION! Etc.

“Hey, here’s a doggo you never heard of! ...HE DEAD.”

“Ed Westwick won’t be formally charged with rape”... so will he be casually charged with rape?

...what? So if somebody buys a house from you and completely ruins it, you’re not allowed to call them idiots? If you work for a company and then quit, you’re not allowed to criticize them when they do irresponsible shit? Don’t be fucking ridiculous. DC are allowed to make shitty Watchmen sequels, and Alan Moore is…

Point the first: If they had paid Alan Moore, while going against his express wishes and overriding his creative vision to make adaptations that he never endorsed, he would be perfectly entitled to the money and the moral high ground - he never wanted them to do this and the least they could do is pay dues. Point the…

I have a tendency to give writers much of the credit for comics I like, but this one should really be called a great Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell comic. There is so much mutual research, collaborative development and inspiration coming from both partners side that it feels weird to just mention one. I can imagine Tom…

“You don’t blame Wendy’s for the person gaining weight. You blame the person.” What? Of course you blame Wendy’s for being shit. Corporations that literally (?!) sell junk or poison or pollute or are shitty in any other way need to be held responsible. Not outlawed, not pilloried, but held responsible. People have…

Thanks, that summarizes the gist of the initiative better than any of the search results.

At the trial of the Bamseom Pirates, part of the trial was (amazingly) spent on debating whether the band and their use of North Korean iconography should be categorized as moe, as in the Japanese word. Moe is also often sloppily defined as ‘acting cute’, but also carries a meaning of affectation, intentionality, and…

“Disagreeing with your orders”... I’ma take it that you’ve never been in the military, correct? Disobeying orders, getting your fellow soldiers killed? On purpose? That’s a goddamn traitor right there.

“Poe’s journey in the film wasn’t ever about betraying the Resistance. It was about learning to be a better leader.” If you disobey your actual leaders and get people killed, that doesn’t make you a better leader; it makes you a mobster trying to rise in the ranks (or a Sith?). He wasn’t the leader but wanted to lead,…

Well then you don’t disagree with anything they said. They hated the movie, you loved it. Absolutely no disagreement there.

Johnson... sound[s] like he’s saying “Abrams gave me all this stuff to work with that I wasn’t interested in.”- no, that was me, leaving the theater after The Force Awakens.

Ok... I found a cringe-inducing dope and dank video that at least spelled out, to some degree what they’re doing, so I’m seeing a bit of it I guess... but it’s also a bearded man telling me how eclectic I am for drinking beer, and giving me dubious dictionary entries for ‘dope’ and ‘dank’ while giving off a strong…

Earnest question - what was the cool ass shit he did? Because I tried googling death to the 40oz and all I found was ‘dope and dank’ ugly-ass merch... I’d be interested to know what not just that campaign was, but what the cool ass shit you hadn’t thought of was.
