I feel like I’m the only person who didn’t really care for Hi-Fi Rush. It’s fine, but I got bored of it pretty quickly and don’t really have a desire to pick it back up. The rhythm gimmick wears thin after an hour or so and the gameplay loop gets super repetitive as a result. Solve a platform puzzle, kill a room of…

You may already know this, but Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon had entire series consisting of backdoor pilots for animated shows back in the 90s/2000s: What A Cartoon! and Oh Yeah! Cartoons, respectively, with both being created by Fred Seibert, of Frederator Studios fame.

I only found out somewhat recently that Survivor was still on the air. Amazing. I assumed it had been dead for at least a decade at this point.

Don’t forget about the zombie dogs from the Resident Evil films.

I have a theory that the main impetus behind the 2003 Hulk was to retain rights to the character. Universal produced both the 2003 film and the TV series, which suggests the original deal for the TV series gave Universal the rights to the character for 25 years. They also distributed the 2008 film, FWIW.

Ryan Schreiber of Pitchfork needs to thank his lucky stars that Knowles’ Blade II review exists, because it means his weird blackface review of Coltrane’s Live at the Village Vanguard: The Master Takes isn’t the most awful, embarrassing, and offensive review ever released on the internet.

This one sentence describes everything wrong with the internet hype machine. One trailer is enough to conclude they “knocked it out of the park?” I hope I’m just missing sarcasm here.

Did you mean Jedi: Survivor? Jedi Outcast was the sequel to Jedi Knight that came out over 20 years ago.

It feels like a parody of high-concept Pixar films. Like, it doesn’t make sense in the slightest if you think about it for more than a few seconds. Also, the whole “star-crossed lovers” thing has been done to absolute death by Disney already: see The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lady and the Tramp,…

This is a pretty bad comparison lol. I don’t know how you can equate people taking time to specifically go a theater to see a certain movie and pay a not-insignificant amount of money to do so to people who are just browsing streaming platforms at home and can instantly switch to thousands of other entertainment…

Ah yes, the game franchise that has sold 200 million copies couldn’t possibly be described as a “heavy hitter.” If only the author had considered your personal feelings when they wrote this.

I don’t think it’s true that “no one knew what Alan Wake was” at all. Remedy was a household name already, among PC gamers at least, after the Max Payne series and the hype for this game, especially given its long development, was very real.

I tend to avoid gaming conversations online as a whole as I find them completely insufferable most of the time, with people mostly just complaining about incredibly minor things as if they were massive violations of their human rights, but having a big compendium of general information, advice, links, and such for…

I don’t know why AVC has developed a sudden hatred for this film. They talked shit on it in the 15 worst Stephen King adaptations article too, and that was from a different author. I actually haven’t seen it, but I always got the impression it was widely regarded as a sci-fi/horror classic.

I have zero interest in comic book movies but I love big, embarrassing disasters, so this recap was helpful.

Why am I just now discovering that John Francis Daley is an accomplished director and screenwriter? I was wondering what happened to him after whatever network procedural he was on ended. The Freaks and Geeks cast just continues to dominate the entertainment industry all these years later. I even saw Busy Phillips pop…

He literally said they have Disney+ in the quote lol. Unless I’m supposed to take “we have Disney+” to mean the royal we, as in “Disney+ is available to humanity in this plane of existence.” I think he’s just saying they subscribe to it but don’t watch it often.

A Wes Anderson horror film is actually an interesting concept. I could definitely get behind him doing a slow-burn period thriller a la The Others or The Witch.

Man, it didn’t even take 2 hours for y’all to completely run that joke into the ground.
