Yeah, I love Oshii’s stuff, but he definitely hasn’t been able to adapt to the times, IMO, and this definitely reads a bit like, “well Demon Slayer probably is just the current flavor, and won’t last in popularity like *some other works*”.

Yeah, even on Stadia with a high speed connection it looked like a first generation PS4 game.

This is a more nuanced point than I was making, and I agree completely.

That teaser looks good. Not everything needs to be 1:1 when making a movie.

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I really REALLY wanna see this movie. I'm a huge Monster Hunter fan, so having Diablos burst from the sand with it's signature scream is like a Marvel fan getting teased by Thanos in a post-credits scene.

Twitch doesn’t want these carpetbagger racists coming in and taking views from their exclusive contracted racists, thankyouverymuch.

Shawshank was ok but it’s symbolism hits you over the head it’s so blatant.

We were never caught properly, but one of my exes and I used to have so much sex on this one giant trampoline in an abandoned playground out back of an apartment complex, and one day we went out there and someone had slashed the trampoline side-to-side in a big “X,” so they knew what was going on.

Pretty rude of him to disrespect one of Fincher’s better movies like that.

Something something Late Registration?

“Redefining ‘sex’ to mean ‘gender identity’ creates chaos,”

Better?  Eh, yeah, I guess, but it also looks like every other generic Japanese Anime game.  Like that last image: why not let a girl have an ugly scowl on her face?  No, no, gotta make her look cute and wistful instead.

Kazushige Nojima is the scenario writer here and one of the script writers as well. You might know him from one of his other works where he was scenario designer and writer: Final Fantasy VII.

You might also know Tetsuya Nomura from another work he was a writer(and character designer) on called Final Fantasy VII.

You…

If the word savage is your baby, you should get a different fuckin’ baby.

I think the portability of the Switch allows Alien:Isolation to be played the way it was intended : inside a locker while cowering in fear.

totally! I attended a writing workshop with a woman whose book was getting published (I eventually read it and didn’t like it much, but that’s another story lol). The main thing that made her work YA was simply that it had a young protagonist - she hadn’t changed her writing style much - and the publisher asked her to…

I’m cracking up right now, I’d not known that he’d said that until now. THANK YOU for enlightening me.

How would Dessen even find this criticism?

WOW. I’m shocked by all this in part because I am a huge fan of Sarah Dessen... so I know that statement is absolutely true.
