Yeah it was the same reaction when the Joker blew up a hospital. His little gag with the detonator made people laugh, plus the ridiculousness of his nurse outfit. I was like "wtf people you're laughing at blowing up a hospital," but that's just some people's response to uncomfortable situations; plus the uncomfortable

I remember the granddaughter of the Kakariko shrine lady being super shy and insecure around you. I was exploring the shrine, went upstairs, and she followed me up and was like "ahhh, what are you doing?! This is my room!" It had zero ramifications on gameplay or the rest of the story, but it was just a really cute

I love how this movie has people arguing whether it's pro or anti-religious. That's the sign of a smart movie.

Also the camera's distance makes it strangely voyueristic.

Playing Zelda at the moment and that's the only example I can think of either lol. For me the visual busyness of combat clashes with the naturalistic aesthetic of the rest of the game.

I thought this game was interesting and showed promise right until I saw actual gameplay. The cluttered visual aesthetic of battles replete with health bars and damage counters ruined the visually clean presentation that was part of what drew me in in the first place.

Oh man that doll messed me up. Here's this kid who idolized Wolverine, probably fantasized about him coming to save them one day, as a way to stay strong as he was being tortured for no good reason, and he has to watch his hero getting buried.

I haven't seen the original, but the remake is excellent too.

Oh man; I couldn't quite make out what he was saying, and didn't connect the dots. New wave of feels. Also the audience I was with laughed when he destroyed the car. I was like um, do you not remember the emotional context of this scene?

It's a rejection of him as a Christ figure, but I think it also plays into the idea of stories like the X-Men serving the same uplifting and uniting role as religion ideally does.

When Logan said something like think of Charles, think of Caliban, I was expecting him to say "think of the Munsons," but he didn't. Rude! Although maybe he didn't want to think of them since they did cause the death of their entire family.

I have a hard time making a concise best superhero list. The genre is so diverse that it allows for comedies, crime epics, political thrillers, small scale character studies, space operas, etc. I feel like I need a separate list for each sub genre, or maybe just each tone (light or serious) lol. The format may not

Call it a lucky coincidence that Deadpool did as well as it did, and that allowed Mangold to tell the story he wanted to tell. He did phenomenal work on 3:10 to Yuma, and it's clear his heart lies in the Western genre.

Call it an even crueler accident that the movie revolves around transporting minorities through the danger zone of the United States to the last sane country in the world, Canada.

Drinking age must be lower in NZ; how else would she be so cynical and so young?

The piano reminds me of late '90s Moby, and I approve of '90s house music making a comeback; the '80s are *so* 2014. And while I'm in pretentious music mode, whatever happened to hipsters? Did they all die or just get jobs?

Just listened to the five tracks from the Pure Heroine Extended Edition, and I'm amazed that they didn't end up on the original album. They're all phenomenal, and I think Million Dollar Bills might be my favorite Lorde song, edging out White Teethed Teens.

How awesome was that Feist song? I loved that song the first time I heard it way back in 2011, and am surprised it took this long to show up in a show.

I thought him holding his temples trying to get out was them winking at said elephant.

Didnt they just do this like 2 weeks ago, and it lasted all of 8 hours?
