“Meanwhile new Yakuza has GTA 3 H2H combat.”

Except that unresolved B-plots in movies are generally terrible (with a possible exception for two movies being shot back-to-back, and therefore making the follow up guaranteed).

I think it feeling like a last minute re-purposing of a Flash story is because that’s precisely what it was. It was all too obvious from they way they hastily wrapped up (or not) pre-Flashpoint books and stumbled through many of the early New 52 books with no idea of what was and wasn’t carried forwards (often changing…

Could be.

I agree with you, but...

12 parts. It’s a standalone sorta sequel, but is also canon and trying to fix the timeline (because it’s DC, and they can’t go six months after fixing the timeline before they re-introduce something that breaks it and requires yet another event to fix it all over again). It’s also supposedly going to reintroduce the…

That’s hardly a fair comparison. Olivia Colman has proven herself to be an exceptional dramatic actor, whereas Mitchell & Webb don’t seem interested in moving out of comedy. They’ve still been very successful though. David Mitchell in particular appears regularly on pretty much all the major comedy panel shows on TV…

aside from bigots who can’t stand immigrants talking their own language within earshot, but that’s a whole different thing

Come again? Am I reading that right? Because it’s the first time I’ve ever heard anyone complain about having to acclimatise to hearing a language they (presumably) don’t understand*, and it just seems like such an odd response.

“Best Picture winner is frequently one that mass audiences didn’t see and had no major societal impact outside of film circles”

Except, isn’t McShane on the record saying something to the effect of “I don’t give a shit about scifi or fantasy, it’s all a load of nonsense”? (I think it was from around the time he showed up in Game of Thrones.) Because that would perhaps make him not the best person to decide whether it’s good enough.

Let’s be honest, the only thing you wouldn’t write off as self-serving would be if he volunteered at a crisis line without telling anyone, and that wouldn’t be good enough for you, because you wouldn’t know about it.

And exactly which bit of the clip was supposed to be a rape joke? The rape threat is a straight up threat. Just because a film has a lot of jokes, that doesn’t mean everything in it is a joke.

Yeah, of course. If you were doing it properly, showing it on the screen to the people whose votes you’re changing would be extremely dumb. But, y’know, not so dumb that it’s beyond the realms of possibility.

Unless of course, submit_vote() was written in such a way that it already updates the screen, and the hacker was too lazy/incompetent to adjust it. Or called display_on_screen() on purpose for testing/demonstration purposes and didn’t bother to remove it again afterwards.

His use of the English language fits perfectly with his clear belief that he’s an intellectual thinker, despite never bothering to get a grasp on the fundamentals of whatever discussion he’s decided to wade into.

If BAFTA consider the film worthy of the nomination (spoilers: it isn’t, so this is a problem entirely of their own making, and I say that having enjoyed it), then they can’t pretend his contribution didn’t happen, even with him not actually completing it.

Yeah, a bad continuation — that’s why I found it disappointing. Had it been a fresh story, I might have been more accepting. As I recall, it was like (hyperbole incoming, but hopefully you’ll get the gist) if someone made a direct sequel to Zero Dark Thirty... and it was The Expendables.

Was MW2's single player campaign that good? I remember almost nothing of it, except that it didn’t remotely live up to CoD4 and I was incredibly disappointed (so much so that I’ve not properly played any CoD since). Even thinking back on it now, the only distinct thing I can dredge out of my memory is the dumb airport…

But it doesn’t appear to contain any of the unique elements that make Titanfall what it is. This is its own thing.
