I am *so* looking forward to another game that defined my childhood being remade into an Action-RPG lite with much of the strategy ripped out of it!

The comic, which includes the first appearance of Marvel Comics’ most popular (and lucrative) superhero Spider-Man, was bought for a cool $3.6 mil earlier this morning at a Heritage Auctions.

Hey Rob, would you consider not reporting on Heritage Auctions, given that they’re being accused of market manipulation and unethical business practices by your very own sister publication, Kotaku, and others.

It seems that everybody - studio execs, film makers, journalists, fans, even politicians and epidemiologists - are looking at the box office take each week and trying to fit that into their own particular narrative. That basically means they are interpreting it to support what they want to believe, or to sell you…

And it’s fucking terrifying that a group of strangers online can get you fired just because they can get it trending...

dammit Poe, you got me again! Genuinely appreciate the lack of /s though. I view it as cowardice. Of course, it leads to me being misunderstood sometimes, but I’m of the mindset that sarcasm should stand as it’s own and being misunderstood by the dense is an added benefit.

OH MY FUCKING GOD FIX KINJA ALREADY WE CAN’T REPLY ON THREADS OR UNGREY RESPONSES OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THEM FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT’S HOLY.

Vesper is a good example fo the fact that killing a character to motivate another one is not inherently problematic. In fact, it can be a powerful tool when used well. The problem is that this tool is feasible, but too often applied lazily and disproportionately used on women.

At the time there was a lot of members of the Tea Party that were just staunch conservatives who supported lower taxes, small government, and decreased spending.
But like your classic Nazi Bar scenario, they let too many racists hang out and the movement became a haven for white supremacy.

Or maybe we’ve devolved

Boy that joke about a highly-plausible COVID origin story really Rustled Some Jimmies around here, huh?

I agree with you. To merge our ideas together, I think the time for Oz to ascend has also passed (which is to say, he’s had a pretty damn good career as a director already). Oz and Kennedy were part of that generation that CREATED a lot of the IP we’re nostalgic for now, and were kind of iconoclastic hippies that…

It would be interesting if Haddonfield’s mob, or at least the leader of it, becomes the monster of the final film.

Dannis - Spam can neither “go bad” nor “get good”. It simply is.

“i love movies and have strong opinions on what i like” are not qualifications for being a trusted critic, but people on the internet dgaf if you know what youre talking about. they only care that you reinforce their feelings. 

I recognize some of these names, obviously, but with half of them I’m like, “I’m sorry, who are you again?” A seemingly random person on the Internet liking something is not what I’d call a strong recommendation. It’s like how about half the reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes appear to be just someone with a film blog.

I just can’t fathom being this guy. He was two years old when Ghostbusters came out and he’s been waiting his whole life for a sequel? J. F. C.

Pump the brakes. Literally every movie gets praised in the advanced screeners cause the people that get invited feel special and want to keep getting invited so they can feel special. People at the early screeners said Batman v Superman was good. 

See, it worked. With the time and money you saved by falling down the stairs, you were able to afford the surgery to fix your back so you could resume falling down the stairs. The circle of life.
