I’m talking rainbows. I’m talking puppies.

Totally, my son got it for my 8-yr-old daughter for Christmas. It’s fantastic.

I am playing ME:A now too and thoroughly enjoying it. I naturally compared it to Witcher 3 also, but Witcher 3 is my favorite game ever. The Witcher 3 characters are fantastic, but they are also more limited. They aren’t constant companions. ME:A is much more in line with Dragon Age: Inquisition, which was a fantastic…

TOO SOON!

I pre-ordered it too. It’s my first Mass Effect game.

I thought the third volume, The City of Mirrors, was a big drop in quality, but I would be down for a series. You know what’s not good? The Strain.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I strongly approve!

Ben Daniels is the stand out for sure. Geena Davis is really coming into her own now too.

Yes. They are called Heptapods and are described as being radially symmetrical with a “mouth” on the bottom, eyes along the top, and a vocalizing orifice on top.

“(M)ore closer?” Come on.

Seriously well-written review. I love it when people with some obvious talent use their full ass.

I thought it was pretty fantastic. Great performances and an amazingly immersive setting.

10 Cloverfield Lane is. Midnight Special is not. I would say it’s not even worth watching, and I loved the other two Jeff Nichols movies I’ve seen (Mud and Take Shelter). But I’m just some internet guy, so . . .

I just finished the short story last night, and I think Arrival actually realized the concept much more fully and interestingly than was possible in such a scant number of pages.

True, my droog. True.

Come on, man. Not cool. Plus, he’s right that some of these are clearly not science fiction.

I was really disappointed with Midnight Special. Jeff Nichols’ earlier movies, “Mud” and “Take Shelter” were both excellent. Plus, Michael Shannon.

I was thinking pretty much the same thing—that it wasn’t a good use of the term—but he is trying to point out that it is a somewhat cheapened use of intertextuality for what is basically fan service, what he calls “weaponized intertextuality.” I think a more interesting use of intertextuality can be found in a movie…

I’m with you. I think he would kill it. He was great on Fringe.
