Ok, here's what I want to goddamn know. Is Senior Griff, and Lil' Griff in this shit or not? Nikolaj Waldau (Jaimie) seemed to confirm it with his "duck" joke that posted. The casting seemed to confirm it. The plot of the books seems to hinge on the reveal. Yet it's explicitly implied to be cut?

Even if it made sense, it was poorly directed to the audience. Vague as 2001 is, it still makes it's basic plot "understandable" albeit, in the most vague ways possible. Nolan's film though...that movie's final act was a mess. The entire ending sequence was so pretentious as well as out of place, that it ruins what…

Vast and general statements about groups of people are what many here are up in arms over. I'm not defending the actions of those posted in the article/video above, there is no defending men or women like that. Their clearly wrong, and there's no contention in their mistakes. That being said, not everyone fits into…

Perhaps not specifically Ralph, but the "Paperman" skit struck me to to my core, coming mere weeks after a pretty brutal break up.

This is why I could never truly get into comics from DC/Marvel. There is just no respect for storytelling or effort made by either of the “Big 2” to adhere to the, admittedly weak, rules of their own created universes. Continuity and narrative coherency make zero sense, and trying to understand where everything falls…

Sanderson did a good job with the first book of his trilogy, but beyond that....the last two books were as plodding and horribly written as any of of Jordan's later entries in the series. Arguably, Sanderson helped finish the grave of obscurity begun by Robert Jordan's horrible direction for his world. I loved the…

Because Civil War had taken multiple films to build up the characters and plit it will be featuring.....unlike the DC movies which have decided to just throw everything at the audience at once without a care for stimulation overload.

WOOOO!

I think it's interesting that Star Trek managed to topple GOT which has much more public support and fandom currently. I've never been a huge fan of Star Trek in any of its incarnations, though I do find the original run and some of the films to hold a certain "campy" charm, while also being able to appreciate the big…

I wrote an article detailing this some time ago, but I thought I'd bring the topic up again for the Q & A. Hi Mark, hi Mike! I've been a gigantic fan of your games since the original KOTOR way back in the day! Something that I've been interested in regarding your games is the narrative use of character progression and…

I think the first episode was one of the best opening episodes of a show, ever. Although it was, to be fair, an almost scene-for-scene adaption of the comic. That being said, the majority of season 1 after that was middling at best, with Shane and Ricks dynamic being the only truly "good" part of the show. Then it was…

Believe me Moulder-Senpai!

Marvel is absolutely killing it with their mainstream adaption of a "wide-open" policy when it comes to their stories, characters, and the world in general. Now hopefully their cinematic universe can follow suite. I don't really read comics, but the movie universe is awesome, although it's started to feel a tad too…

I haven't. I got through season 2, then occasionally watched an episode or saw a recap when someone else was already viewing it. The second-half of season 5 has been very well done, especially by this show's standards, and while it might not be perfect, it's good television, plain and simple. Is it Breaking Bad now?…

It's a cool concept, and this could pay off huge if Halo 5 focuses on expanding out the world beyond chief, by say, letting us not only play as the big MC but also as Locke and perhaps Arbiter, among others. The Halo universe is vast and full of potential. With the us vs them story concluded, there is some serious…

I just want to say how great it is that the Walking Dead has finally come closer to achieving the "atmosphere" that has consistently made the comic and video game by Telltale so fantastic. The focus is on interesting and decidedly human conflict, with the post apocalyptic setting as more of a backdrop.

The Walking Dead is good, and it only took five seasons. My God, I honestly don't know how to handle this. Up is down, down is up.

I don't think their idiots or a third world nation, but at the same time I don't think it's disputable that American Studios are leagues ahead of Japan when it comes to budget. Most japanese (not all!!!!) tend to look like direct to DVD releases, rather than theatrical films. This doesn't in itself ruin the films, and…

I've been working on a fantasy novel for some time now, and the final draft is getting some seriously positive feedback, that goes beyond immediate who will always lie to you while nodding their heads reassuringly even as theirs eyes tell you the truth. I've considered doing a kickstarter, but wonder how successful…

Plausible, though nowhere is this floated by Nolan or his brother, which leads to me to suspect its more the workings of fans trying to make sense of a shit ending. I just don't understand why Nolan was so compelled to switch the original version, which to me sounds like a much more focused and frankly better written…
