I’d like to give the benefit of the doubt that this is less “Sweeping under the rug” and more “testing the waters”. It’s baby steps, and frustratingly slow. I myself always feel kind of frustrated when hollywood feels lesbians or bisexual females are easier to swallow than gay men (...get your puns out now), because…

It started really good, and kept me hooked all through what ‘should’ have been the finale with the Neverland arc. But as someone else said, corporate kept freaking spinning the show into further and further crappy arcs. I haven’t even tried to watch the latest season. It just doesn’t work anymore.

Bah humbug to the haters. They can go chew their foot in the corner. I liked Ghostbusters 2016 and I’d totally be down for a sequel.

Observing my cousin right now, no, there’s an age cut off. You need to be at least 7-8 to manage some core concepts in most gaming genres. RPGs need reading comprehension, platformers need problem solving and spacial awareness, puzzles need logic and memory. This is stuff that you just don’t develop till 7-8. Maybe 6.

Currently introducing my 5 year old cousin to SNES and N64 games. She has a lot of trouble with precision platforming, and I think the PS2 controller I use for gaming on my laptop is a shade too big for her hands. But mostly children psychologically have a problem with spatial awareness and judgements, and it takes…

...You need a sedative.

It’s also the attitude of the character. In Japan there’s not a lot of distinction between gender and orientation. It’s all an assumed package of Feminen vs Masculine. If you wear a dress, you are feminine. If you are a homosexual male, you are also feminine. The orientation is also applied vice versa. So when you…

I wonder who’d win an episode of Ru Paul’s Drag Race, Link or Cloud?

Here’s a problem that I’ve considered: We never see Xenomorphs eat. They kill to set up territory, defend themselves, or they set up people for incubation, but they don’t seem to eat.

IIRC, the Xenomorph embryo settles in the lung, so that it has access to blood and oxygen, and why it’s so particularly fatal when they emerge. There’s no other logical place for something like that to settle in the body via entering the mouth, given it’s coiled up shape. A normal human would just pass something like…

Probably the same way they sense anything is a life form, given they have no eyes. Sense of smell? Heat signature? Lots of possibilities to distinguish a human from an android.

Because it makes Bond look less powerful associating him with the look of a common woman, as per modern view by comparison.

It’s masterfully done. It’s all about Negative Space, just like the (Slightly hamfisted) topic in Dawn’s art class. The camera focuses in on strangely mundane things, giving them the visual equivalent of Semantic satiation. There’s no music. There’s no action. A lot of it is still, and dissociative. Anyone whose…

Restless. Restless. Restless. This is THE most accurate I have ever seen dream sequences portrayed. I keep extensive dream diaries, and study other people’s written accounts. Its something of an obsession, since I have sleep paralysis often, and use this hobby to combat my fear of it.

Because there isn’t really any other iconic choice. There is Lamy/Scorpina, but she’s part of the Wildforce arcs in the show, and this seems to want to keep close to the first half of the Power Ranger show. Everything else involves monster-of-the week in which case how the hell do you even choose, and the bumbling…

Trailers are tricky things, but at a guess, the scene we just saw looks like it could hit within the first 20 minutes. Cobbling that with the trailers, they get their transformation within minutes of this scene. So whatever problems this movie might have, I rather doubt your concern is going to be one of them.

:( I wear my phone on my belt. My phone is also my MP3 player and it’s more convenient to change the songs from a holster than digging my phone out of my non-existent back pocket. Also puts less stress on the headphone wires. I’m only 29 damnit.

If there was a chip that could supress my instinct to freak out every single time I get behind the wheel of a car, I would take that surgical option in a heart beat. There are some things that some people are just hardwired to fail at, and no amount of drugs, self-help, and yoga is going to let those people have…

Well gee, maybe because the Hollywood system hand selects these stars? Also, you miiight want to take a look at the interesting correlation between Black oscar winners and the film roles they tend to get after. You’d be surprised how even the best can just not end up getting work, and end up taking really shit roles…

I had to dive into some deep holes. I have to come to the conclussion that Motoko Kusanagi, while Japanese in terms of her mind/ghost, is body-wise based on Caucasion features. The fact is, unless the creators of the Ghost in the Shell Franchise come out and say “Ah, we did intend her to be Japanese in looks” then you…
