I’m at the point where the only games I’ve finished in the past few years are Resident Evil 4 and Half Life 2. For like the tenth time each. They’re well made games and very well paced, and it saves me the trouble of wishing the game I was currently playing was more like one of them.

Back in the 90s the early Renaissance films were still ubiquitous years after they came out, like Frozen and Moana are today. I haven’t seen any such lasting fascination for the remakes.

I think that’s a narrow view of video games.

They have special printers that can just print any image as an edible “decal”.

I’m going to guess that the firing was due to the manager getting chewed out by higher-ups at the franchise or corporate level, and scapegoating the employee to cover their own ass.

Apropos of nothing, I got a really good deal on a 55 OLED tv that I had been eying for the living room, long story short, too small so ended up putting new tv in my bedroom and gave my teens my 55 inch 4K LCD for the game room. Max Max/COD is all brown/grey/green, but then there’s Street fighter. Holy God…

I’d wager that’s far truer of yourself.

Actually, that does sound like a high-level celebrity fetish thing. “What if Donald Glover and Bey kissed... and then did it under a waterfall... but the whole time they were both like, giant cats who fucked?

You shouldn’t go to a terrible movie just because you have a child and it’s a children’s movie.

Disney’s 2D animators excelled at capturing the essence of real animals’ movements. They invariably studied them — you have to know what you’re starting with before you simplify and caricature it. NOT doing so tends to result in movements that look wrong in undefinable sorts of ways.

I’m looking forward to the photo-real remake of Inside Out, which will just be talking chunks of human brain.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but one of the many things that turns me off from anime are all the “What if ....... were an anime?” fan posts.

One great touch is how the ladies ogling Billy is scored with the same song as the notorious topless scene from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where the legend goes numerous rental places had the tape break due to how much people rewound and watched that specific scene (though I have to imagine the hard cuts back to…

We just need a flash-forward to 2019 showing a well-adjusted adult Will Byers living with his husband in a cute West Village apartment.

The steve-dustin combo was the smartest, most unexpected thing season 2 ever did. Steve as a whole quickly grew into a really lovable performance.

Mad Men has spoiled me for stuff like this. I mean, it’s the year 2019 and most of my wardrobe is pre-2017, and not even the most stylish pre-2017 at that. Lots of people have hairstyles that reflect personal taste and not current trends. So I can appreciate a show set in the ‘80s where a bunch of young teens with few…

Yeah I don’t think I like any of the romantic relationships on the show, whether it be between the parents, the teens, or the kids.

Isn’t this show set in Indiana? So this is actually realistic — very few people would have been up to date with the absolute latest fashions. It’s much more realistic for a show set in 1985 to have people sporting 1983 or 1981 looks that are a little out of date, just like anything set in the early 70s should have a…

The show may not be time sensitive, but the ability to have spoiler free discussions about it while it’s still ‘fresh’, is ...
