This is a good comment. I didn’t think of it like this. It seems like they should have some kind of immersive mode where there ARE permanent major consequences, but you’re right that a lot of target players for this are casuals that don’t want the game to work the way dark souls did if you accidentally hit Andre the…

I’m guessing this is meant to be a joke, but...probably this one as it’s getting actual good reviews, and not Callisto Protocol, as reactions to that were overwhelmingly negative from both reviewers and average players. Of course review aggregators being what they are say this is an 89 and that’s a 70, but from…

I had an album of his that was done in-character as his character from My Cousin Vinny. It’s called Vincent LaGuardia Gambini Sings Just for You. It’s terrible, obviously, but a couple of the songs are kind of funny. I remember “Take Your Love and Shove It (up your big fat ass)“ being a highlight. Especially the music…

Man, what have you looked at to get the impression that Everything Everywhere All at Once was dour?

I assume he was trying to use it like the secondary definition of “deliberately,” to try and say something like “they’re doing it slowly and carefully and with a lot of strong will!!!” or something, but it still makes basically no sense.

A HUGE part of the problem with this is bad encodes + people watching everything on streaming. Like, the 4K encode of X (the mia goth movie) on Amazon was nigh-unwatchable on my crappy 4K TV, like much of it was pure black. A blu-ray copy of it was still dark, but looked intentionally so and it wasn’t at all…

Tammy and the T-Rex is definitely not your garden variety “bad movie” and I think it does exactly what it set out to do as long as you see the R-rated version. It’s very intentionally hilarious and the fact Denise Richards plays the whole thing straight is a big part of why it is so funny. As far as entertainment…

Jim Norton had a really angry rant about this, too. I never really thought anything of it till hearing him describe how disgusting it would be.

Unfortunately the physical media for The Abyss is garbage, the last available version is a NON-ANAMORPHIC DVD (4:3 with black bars). There’s actually a good HD master out there which can easily be found via non-legit means. I think everything else on this list has a good physical media option. It’s odd with some of…

No, there were three very good sets but they were not comprehensive and they’ve been out of print for a long time. The first two have been out of print for years, only the third is still available at anything remotely resembling reasonable prices. Missing the second one has just moved even higher on my list of…

In 2018 (for the 50th anniversary), Hussey gave multiple interviews about this movie and directly addressed how the nude scenes were no big deal for her. I find the timing of this to suggest more likely that they’ve got an opportunistic lawyer rather than they were actually traumatized by the experience. Not that the…

I thought the vast majority of the hate campaigns against her came after her comments in some interview (something about being sick of white men running everything and being the only interviewers she gets?? Aka something totally reasonable that was easily twisted into people screeching “brie larson said white men…

They’ve also gotten far, far cheaper to “manufacture” and distribute.

Yeah, no way in hell that this gets more than 5 seasons, and even that’s a tall order. The books turn into a mess. Viewership would be in the toilet by the end of the fifth season if it had somehow stayed high enough up till then for people to keep tuning in, and my guess is no big movies are going to get funded…

I’m glad I played it, but it’s a hard sell cause the first several hours of the game truly suck. Constantly running out of gas, basically no combat options, etc. The characters being boring and the dialogue being incredibly cringe is just another problem with it, but fortunately it doesn’t get in the way of the…

In terms of emotional tone, yes, it’s much less grimdark. In terms of literal color pallettes, it’s almost exactly as hideous and desaturated as the Zach Snyder murderverse.

Piranha II. (Yeah I know for most practical purposes we should count Terminator as his first movie)

David Sims, David Ehrlich, and Guillermo Del Toro are a lot more credible as sources than the clowns they had respond to say, Batman V Superman or Rise of Skywalker’s premieres.

Same here, I started it up and was turned off by the combat and the visual monotony almost immediately. I really wanted to experience the story of it, but I just wasn’t having any fun. This is good news!

It wasn’t “representation,” it was “character monotony” I was worried about.
