This doesn't really count, since the character was based on him, but Clint Eastwood as Roland from the Dark Tower! Now I'd settle for him as Pere Callahan, although he might be too old even for that… Also Javier Bardem would've been a good Man in Black

Ubisoft has always struck me as "progressive, but to a certain point" company, mirroring the characterization of the French, and to a larger extent, Europeans, as liberal and progressive on the outside, but with deep prejudices on the inside. See their reluctance to include a female assassin in the main Assassin's

Yeah, so many of the small fun things about Borderlands, like the writing, are bulldozed over when you have your friends screaming incomprehensibly in your ear, constantly pushing you to get to the next goal and the next piece of loot, instead of slowing down and enjoying it.

Just wait a week or two to show you protest the direction DC movies are going in. First two weekends box office speak louder than all others.

Props on making Dr. Manhattan the scapegoat for the attack on New York though. I thought that was a very elegant workaround for the comic's giant squid randomness.

He also doesn't understand what would make the adaptation work on it's own merits apart from the comic (glorious intro sequence excluded. Who's idea was that anyways?). For instance, sticking with the comic and playing the original, pretty awful Leonard Cohen "Hallelujah" over the sex scene in place of, say, ANY OTHER

Gah I love Wind Waker; favorite game ending ever. That final fight was so epic!!! Especially since i didn't know how to beat Ganon so I fought him for about an hour before I figured it out lol. Also when I finished Life is Strange I chose to save Chloe, because that ending was so similar to the Last of Us I couldn't

I assumed the other H is Howard's dad, maybe deceased. Would explain his entitled attitude… but not his unwillingness to let Jimmy work there as family of a partner nvm thought I was on to something XD

Maybe it's because Jimmy was trying to find folks to add to an active case, and Kim was going for general inquiries/retainers? I thought that was odd too

The montage gave me a lot of insight into what it must be like to be a woman trying to make it as a professional. "No, sorry, I'm seeing someone." "I'm not a secretary, I'm an attorney." You kidding me? I would be so mad! DX

Had a very Hannibal vibe to it.

That's kind of the point of the montages though; they show how long and painfully slow the process of "doing it right" is.

I would watch a gif of her little dance for hours XD

How does he know Jimmy stole the money? He could be assuming he stole the money; he doesn't say how he found out…

I had an encounter the other night where I was scavenging in an apartment, and I mishandled my controller and fired my shotgun. I didn't think much of it til I saw on my radar a group of rioters was coming to investigate; bad news, I was in a closed off space with no other exits. In a panic, I searched through the

As someone who doesn't slavishly hold to the pretentious "the book is better" mantra, I thought the Hunger Games movies did a better job of telling the books' story (granted, there's Mockingjay Pt. 1, and I haven't seen Pt. 2, but the first two blew the books out of the water for me), and creating a cinematic style

That would've made a really good series finale. Kind of disappointed it wasn't.

I was actually kind of sad thinking the gang might die. Of course I knew they'd be back for next season, but they had me convinced for a minute. What if next season was all their adventures in Hell?? Then they get kicked out cuz the devil can't stand them lol

It's a Captain America story that just happens to involve a lot of the Avengers. The story is the core conflict between Captain America and Iron Man, and how that affects the rest of the heroes. You might get more out of the movie if you've seen the other ones in terms of the other character's motivations, but you can

I think Damon Lindelof is agnostic, but The Leftovers treats religious issues with far more respect than a lot of Christian film-makers.
