I say it is unfair even when qualified - no film will ever sell as many tickets as Gon with the Wind because the cultural and economic structures that helped GwtW succeed don’t exist anymore. Even Gone with the Wind, if released today, would not sell as many tickets, even without taking into account changing values…

It’s not to everyone’s taste but Good Girl Gone Bad is a pretty good porn game. You can find it on Patreon. The creator is Eva-Kiss. It’s very hot but also character based. There is also a lot of potential pathways, to the point that I was able to avoid the few fetishes in there that turn me off. Love and Sex: Second…

Do not preorder videogames. Do not encourage the Triple AAA industry’s shady practices. Death to preorder culture. Death to predatory monetization.

See, I hated that moment in ME3 so m7ch I never finished the game. I hated that because Legion happened to die in my ME2 playthrough (because the information given in the game is not enough to enable you to make all the right choice without luck), the game basically forced me to pick up who I wanted genocided. Like,…

I think the artwork only “failed” because it is presented alone, without the support of the narrative.

“Even still, Godzilla has atomic breath... so they’re going to have to be creative in making it seem like it’s a fair fight.”

Imagine Kong climbing all over Godzilla, so the Big G cannot use his Atomic breath without hurting himself, and then Kong punches Godzilla right in the eye. Being small can be an advantage.

Blue is the Warmest Color is one of the most offensive movie I’ve ever seen in my life. He took a simple tragic romance story by a lesbian for lesbians, and made it into pretentious wank material for straight men. The porn-like sex scene, the addition of Adèle first having sex with a boy instead of Emma, the scene of…

Listening to them, you’d think they were forced to buy it. I saw a twitter post somewhere saying something like “I’m fighting so that grown men are never forced to see this in their comic store,” with a picture of an issue of Squirrel Girl. Because apparently grown men are so fragile that just seeing a drawing they…

Yet Marvel has been pushing the character left and right since the book came out. So it must have been doing something right, don’t ya think?

Oh I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. 

That’s a really silly way of measuring a movie’s worth. Do you also decide if a book is worth buying strictly on the page/price ratio?

No you wouldn’t.

Hmm, no. Vonnegut never said it was a genocide. He said it was a massacre, an atrocity, a war crime, but never a genocide.

Yeah, and that obvious message “Both can play this game, you fuckers, and right now we’re stronger than you, so surrender now if you know what’s good for you.” It was not “All of you Germans are inferior parasites, and you need to be eradicated for us to live comfortably, so just do us all a favor and die already,…

I disagree that the goal was to destroy a national group. It was to punish and take revenge on a political group that attacked them, as well as demonstrate the might of the Allies and force Nazi Germany to surrender. The Allies didn’t kill those Germans for the sake of killing Germans, the way Hitler killed Jews just…

“I think, on the whole, most people who sit down and think about it come to the uncomfortable conclusion that the bombing of Dresden was genocide. It was the deliberate bombing of a civilian population center. “

It is not a genocide by modern standards. It is a massacre, a slaughter, a war crime, a terrible, terrible no-good thing, but not a genocide. The goal was not to eradicate the ethnic German heritage from the Earth. The goal was revenge and demonstrating one’s might. 

“Although I would say what we did to the NAZIs was genocide, we put a good effort into stomping them out as a group.”

Yup. Massacre, war crime, slaughter, decimation - all of those are appropriate. But genocide is not. A genocide is not just “killing of a lot of people”. It specifically means “killing a lot of people who share an ethnic/religious origin in an attempt to eradicate that origin from the face of the earth (or the…
