Seriously, I dislike some of his work (Avengers: Age of Ultron), I love some of his other work (Avengers), but Cabin in the Woods might be his best work, and saying it’s good “in spite of him” is as stupid as saying people only just realized he’s an asshole now when it was no secret 20 years ago. You can be an…

First, Abrams was a bad go-to. Part of what’s hurting him is the fact people have gone back, looked at his history and realized he’s a 1 trick pony who can’t finish a story. His “what’s in the box” style of storytelling has hurt him this whole time and it’s catching up with him. When he learns to write a 3rd act we…

I think it’s fair to say that this movie was great *because* of Whedon and not in spite of him. I know it’s in vogue to declare that the guy is an irredeemable monster and dismiss all of his strengths as a result, but he is an incredible talent who has produced a lot of top-tier work.

Eh? The Batman’s car chase was not a great example of the form. The aesthetic was cool, but the editing was a mess, with the distance between the cars lacking consistency in what seemed like every other cut. That, combined with the choice to never use wide shots made it surprisingly confusing to follow, despite barely…

Yeah, hard disagree. Werewolf Women of the SS was the best fake trailer of the bunch, especially with that hilarious cameo at the end. Your read on nazisploitation film being for real fascist and white supremacist is wrong. Elsa, She-Wolf of the SS, the most famous Nazisploitation flick and the one the whole…

The casino boat I worked at briefly in college had to fire up the engines and move once per year to remain legally a boat. While this was a river boat and in a different state, it was still a boat who’s entire existing was a legal loophole. 

As much as I often complain about the tactics of the rich in avoiding and at times outright evading taxes with impunity I am completely with the boat owner here.

Having been in the construction industry for a few decades and being involved in historic renovations on multiple occasions I’ve come around to the view that most so-called “historical”buildings should be demolished when they become unusable and replaced with something new.

He might be saying he ‘wants to get caught’ so that the ‘exploit gets fixed’, but fucking up people’s games is not how to do that.

Wireless tethering to PC on the Quest 2 is fantastic, assuming your PC is hardwired to the network and you have half-decent wifi. There is certainly some latency but its not much of a problem for adventure-style games... which are probably most of the games we’ll see on PSVR.

I hope Sony can figure out a wireless…

I thought CODA was...fine but I’m shocked that it is nominated for Best Picture and reasonable people think it deserves it. The performances were also...fine and the novelty of the deaf family was a moderately interesting layer but that doesn’t change the fact that I’ve seen a version of this film 20 times and didn’t…

You could replace Elon Musk with “Other Weird Nerds” and it would be nearly as poignant. I mean... just because your criticism is directed at a billionaire doesn’t mean your criticism is above criticism.

We have entered some sort of recursive nightmare on the internet where everyone assumes the reasoning should stop at…

Really? What a bunch of absolute snowflakes. This is the hill they want to die on? Getting vaccinated.

Yes. The answer to that is yes. 

I really genuinely hate this shit so much. It’s such an obvious grift, and I don’t know who I hate more: the people who understand it’s a grift but are okay conning other people, or the dipshit doops who think they’re doing everyone a favor by preaching about it.

Yeah no, sorry. I don’t take feedback from people who say — and there’s a lot of you on the internets — “I didn’t watch blabla and from what I can see I made the right choice”.

Both sides of the aisle want nothing more than to finish killing the USPS

This. And if you want to pc game, get a wireless m+k and a lap tray (or just use a controller).
