Yeah the mass banning of books like Gender Queer or Maus by Republicans is a lot closer to the whole its 1984 buzz phrase. Of course the reactionaries cheer that on because they deem it degenerative filth. Free speech for all unless I hate the minorities in it.

Okay first off this isn't the end of the world.  Its minor changes its not like the kids in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory aren't be tortured.  Its not 1984 or a nazi book burnings shut up.  Not like the Twitter reactionaries were buying his books anyway.  Second, Dahl was... quite something.  Oh you think Seuess…

At this point the only Hellboy project I’d be genuinely excited about would be Hellboy III, though that’s not gonna happen since Perlman is too old for the role and Selma Blair has retired from acting due to her health. And even if that weren’t the case, Del Toro has a million other projects he’s busy with.

didnt they say that for the last reboot?

Season 2 of Fargo followed Lou Solverson, played by Patrick Wilson, who was the father in season 1 played by Keith Carradine. Other characters had repeat appearances as well, though usually played by different actors due to the different settings in time.

What does a show like Fargo compete as? While “limited” doesn’t necessarily match, an argument could be made for it. Sure, there are a couple of characters that recur, but each season is its own standalone thing that doesn’t require having seen any prior series. Which is much like Fargo. But I don't really care which…

I don’t normally elevate greys or invite trolls, but I’m intrigued. Which part of my comment is “Wrong”?

Do you have a source for this? I looked around and couldn’t see anything on it. The only thing I could find is the MPAA had/has a rule against guns pointed at the camera, something about to not freak people out.

This feels like a rewriting of how this went. There was a good year+ of dog whistling from her, and “The right people” attempting to intervene and quietly talk to her, before her views became subject of larger discussion.

This is not a tenable debate position. It lacks understanding of what the generally accepted definition of a video game RPG is, substituting instead the an impression of what that is. You are, in essence, arguing, “This is what I think an RPG should be.” While human language is a malleable, ever changing mess, the…

It’s not a debate bomb, it’s a stupid thing to say. You are arbitrarily declaring that an RPG is only game that attempts in some way to emulate a TTRPG like Dungeons and Dragons, and have decided to absolutely ignore a HUGE swath of RPGs, such as nearly every single JRPG that doesn’t let you choose a character,…

“They misinterpreted me when I repeatedly promoted organisations that call the very existence of trans women a form of rape, and accused people who simply said ‘Don’t listen to me, I’m just a celebrity’ of being rape apologists with Prophet complexes, and accused people who explicitly said ‘I still own my HP stuff,…

Having the entire Illuminati slaughtered within five minutes was brilliant.

On its own, seeing Maria Rambeau as this universe’s Captain Marvel or Black Bolt and Captain Britain hanging around feels like it makes some degree of sense. But the movie steps over the line once Patrick Stewart rolls in as Charles Xavier to the opening notes of the 90s X-Men cartoon, or John Krasinski pops up as Mr.…

Think the likeliest explanation here is probably that they used another “Total HD Textures Reworked Overhaul Supreme” mod that itself had incorporated, surreptitiously or otherwise, the mod in question. There’s generally a code of conduct around doing such things, but it wouldn’t be the first, second, or third time…

I mean, he was pretty clear about the reference being to 2001.

Kyra was not a romantic interest in that movie...

We’ve learnt by now that the infected aren’t aggressive until they feel threatened. They attack to defend themselves. If the victim remains calm, they simply walk up to them and push their tendrils into the victim’s mouth to start the infection. In the episode, the infected were ‘woken’ by, first, an explosion. Then,…

• Ellie and Sam’s enjoyment of games and toys (pun book, Magic Slate, soccer ball) act as meta signifiers in a story that originated as a game.

I had to stop reading at “episode three was a relatively emotional scenario.”
