It felt like they were obligated to make it a Plinkett review because Star Wars.

The weird thing is that Zootopia HAD a good ending already (the bit with Flash the sloth) and then they threw in a dance party anyway.

It's a shame that the actual Plinkett review of Force Awakens isn't funny. It makes some good points, but humor is not one of them.

It's supposed to be like American Idol, but not reality TV, and with cartoon animals and a trailer that made me want to shrink into my own body.

What a shame. I remember really liking the trailer and thinking that this would be a cool sci-fi movie like Arrival, or at least halfway cool like Interstellar. Instead, I guess Hollywood decided that Chris Pratt wasn't playing a big enough douchebag in Jurassic World.

Let's see if he still hold those opinions after he gets treatment.

People have cited the appeal of Kanye as wanting to see this crazy famous man do something outrageous in public. I don't entirely agree, but I can see the appeal in that. However, pledging support for Trump and getting a fucking autograph from that asshole is where that stops being harmless fun.

Wait, that's it? No mention of Corey Feldman's magnum opus? I guess that album was more "essential" than I thought it was.

Nice. Thank God. When I found out what the game's premise I was terrified that the developers made fascist propaganda by accident. Even now I wonder how many Trump supporters it created. It's comforting to know that at least some people on the dev team realized what kind of story they were telling. Though now I'm

I was lukewarm on I Am Setsuna because it felt like reheated leftovers. I haven't seen the end of the game yet, but I Am Setsuna and Bravely Default made me wonder if I'm too old for JRPGs. Both games had a stale story that would play better with my teenage self, but I Am Setsuna is trying very hard to pay homage to

Are there any datalogs in that game that make the secret police you play as sound as creepy as they should be? I know the story of The Division is contrived in such a way as to make stormtroopers like the player character necessary, but does anyone have any reservations about it in-game?

The Division is fascist propaganda (whether or not the dev team intended it that way), and it's disappointing to see it praised here, on a site that rightfully fears the upcoming Trump presidency. In the game, you are literally playing as the president's secret police, murdering disenfranchised people in hoodies

Apparently the last episode is worth it. Maybe you should skip to that one.

The Day of the Dead episode that Neil Gaiman wrote is excellent, though. Just about the only thing aside from the finale I can recommend from season 5.

Honestly, I never got Cruel Summer. Until Life of Pablo, I thought it was Kanye's weakest album by far, in this case because there's too many cooks crowding out the essence of Kanye.

I recently read Seveneves, a book with a five-thousand-year timeskip. I don't want the story to end before that skip, but I do want the pre- and post-skip parts to have been their own books. One does follow the other and resolve loose ends that came before, but they are radically different in sci-fi subgenre, tone and

Yeah, what the hell is even the point of that movie if you stop there? What happens after is the key to the whole film.

Whatever else you can say about the Watchmen movie, I think its opening credits sequence is my favorite one ever.

I'm going to say that yes, they count as furries, but they fall beyond the grey area of appeal into my "do not want" zone. Try shopping around to see if you can't do better than her.
