Joker is on there because the media movie review give mind decided it was “dangerous” and had the temerity to focus on a white guy living on the margins of society. What utter BS.

Oh no, it will be very emotional for all regardless of if it makes sense. 

It's a joke you don't like.

Bioshock either needs better shooting mechanics or less shooting. That really hit me in the last Bioshock game. The shooting mechanics were extremely pedestrian and dated, so it surprised me just how much of the game was getting into gunfights and experiencing such mediocre mechanics.

I second a return to Rapture, or a Rapture II or whatever. Just so it’s under the sea. That claustrophobia is one of the key elements of the franchise. They went the opposite with Columbia, going from claustrophobia to agoraphobia, but it just didn’t have the same impact or sense of place.

Hopefully they rejigger the formula a bit. Like most people Bioshock 1 blew me away, and 2 was a nice continuation. The third game though left me a bit cold. I think the controls and shooting mechanics in particular need an update. And while 3 explored a different type of dystopian world than 1, it still felt…

Maybe the cast is not that talented and that's the reason for the change.

Play it on the hardest difficulty setting, that's when it becomes a truly special experience.

You must be a bellyaching fascist then, because only bellyaching fascists could have a problem with Disney’s Star Wars. 

“As the supposed climax to both a recent trilogy and a decades-spanning nonet, Rise Of Skywalker has a lot to live up to, including the smart, ambitious filmmaking of its immediate predecessor, The Last Jedi.”

That is one of the most puzzling things about this series, the way the villains are portrayed. As you said, Phasma and Hux in particular are incompetent boobs, like the villains from a Looney Tunes cartoon. Especially odd because in the OT the Empire mostly portrayed its naval officers with a quiet competence. Having…

What is the alternative to a modern, capitalist society? 

“Make people poorer” isn’t gonna fly. If what you are getting at is wealth redistribution, that solves nothing. The beneficiaries of that wealth will spend it on stuff at a greater rate than the wealthy hoarding their cash.

This makes a lot of sense, but where are you getting this information from? 

I can’t wait for The Princess Bride 2, where we learn that Buttercup and Westley got a divorce, Vizzini actually didn’t die from poison and came back to kill Inigo and Fezzik, and Fred Savage grew up to be a drug addict who beats his children instead of reading books to them. 

If I knew Han and Leia when they were dating, and you told me they were getting married but would end up separated, I’d be like, “Oh yeah, not surprised.”

I actually don’t mind that message, that there are no final victories and resolutions just create new problems. But bringing back Palpatine makes that theme SO LITERAL it makes my head hurt. 

It also has the unintentional consequence of cheapening this current trilogy. I assume the film ends with Rey killing Sheev (because she never looses), but how can we be sure? He survived a 1,000 meter fall into a supernova and a crash landing on a planet. 

This exactly. The theme they’re going for is that none of it mattered. The Rebellion, Luke, Han, Leia, Vader, all the fighting and struggle. None of it really mattered. Sheev is still alive, the New Republic sucked even before the First Order, and then was blown up by the First Order anyway. All the heroes from the…

“to close out this trilogy and the nine movies, that it would almost be strange not to in some way have the presence of the old shadow of Palpatine.”
