The Fugitive didn’t do that for you? He was absolutely incredible in that movie.

In the theater it is far less noticeable and distracting. I was pretty turned off by the promotional stuff I’d seen, but when I saw it at an advance screening last week I was pleasantly surprised. It’s definitely Lion King or Thanos, but it’s nowhere near as bad as I expected. 

I saw an advance screening last week. I can’t disagree with anything in the review (especially the take on Stevens’ performance), but as a huge dog lover I loved every minute of this movie. It is NOT a great film- but if you’re the target audience and can settle in with appropriately low expectations you may just walk…

It got an A cinemascore and will take home about $70 million over the holiday weekend. I’d say A TON of people were expecting to, and actually did, enjoy this movie. I haven’t seen it yet, but it absolutely does not strike me as the kind of family friendly kids movie that is worthy of an entire snarky article ranting…

I hear ya. So far, it’s a bit of a slog. I didn’t actually play it all this weekend, in part because I was busy, but also because I just didn’t feel like loading it up. I had the same feeling for a while with both Bloodborne and Sekiro, and ended up absolutely loving both of those games, so I’m gonna keep on chugging…

Thanks! I’m finally giving Dark Souls a try this weekend (after absolutely loving Sekiro and Bloodborne), but once I get through those I’ll give RDR2 another go and keep those tips in mind :)

I had the same feeling until I finally finished my first playthrough. I am just not any good at these games, so I was still pretty bad towards the end of the game, and then it suddenly clicked. All of the sudden I was slicing through enemies and parrying like a champ and it became a joy to play. I had a similar…

Interesting. I bought it 7-8 months ago and played it sporadically for a few weeks, but I just couldn’t get into it. I’ve had the experience you describe with a few other games (Bloodborne being the biggest one), so maybe I should give RDR2 another shot and see if it will suddenly click and be an all-time favorite.

I just beat Sekiro for the fifth time. I’d already beaten Bloodborne but that was my first foray into From Software games, so I’m finally throwing myself into Dark Souls this weekend. Starting with the Remastered original. Any tips on what strategies to use in a melee fighting style would be greatly appreciated- I…

Probably why it was such a bad one. It’s also a really awful (and I mean truly terrible) apple pie recipe. 

He’s the same species as Tony Shaloub’s character in MIB, so his head just keeps growing back. We wouldn’t want our movie to have actual stakes, would we?!?!

It’s all about how you market it- you just gotta find some Chili Palmer type to convince people that this is the Cadillac of Grandpa Sedans.

They typically do. I’ve been on planes with empty seats and been told that I could just go ahead and pay the difference to move into the better seat. I’ve done it on a few especially long flights if the difference isn’t all that much. Definitely doesn’t hurt to ask the flight attendant if you notice a seat you want to…

What an obnoxious person you seem to be.

Completely disagree. I was recently upgraded to a $5,000 first class ticket for a flight from Atlanta to Buenos Aires. The entire time I was thinking “this IS nicer, but anyone who pays full price for this is an idiot.” I would pay MAYBE an extra $750 bucks or so for an international first class seat, but otherwise…

“We, the customer, have signalled lout and clear with our wallets that we would prefer to pay as little as possible for a flight and will give up almost any amenity for it regardless of what we bitch about and vocally claim to the contrary.”

Exactly. I was pretty shocked to even see the headline. Might as well explain to folks why they can’t just walk into the back of a Michelin Star restaurant as it’s about to close and take home all the premium cuts of steak they didn’t sell that night, or why you can’t just grab all the sale items at Saks Fifth Avenue…

Thanks for the pleasant exchange!
