But it does blow up eventually!

I am not sure if I should feel awful for James Luceno, who took on the task of making the Sifo Dyas subplot make sense, or wonder if he and the editors should've just left well enough alone.

Oh god, my Canadian girlfriend keeps trying to convince her hapless American boyfriend to try poutine.

We do not speak of Jedi Master Sifo Dyas. Ever.

I do believe it does self destruct. Which actually makes sense, you wouldn't want it getting back up with the enemy driving it.

The opening crawl has just been there for so long I've actually forgotten what it says. Okay, fine, no SPECIFIC details.

Okay, PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

It was pretty much inevitable that someone was going to try to make a movie like a FPS, but that doesn't make it a good idea.

Except for how the "Coulson is keeping secrets" subplot leading directly into Age of Ultron's opening scene. And even having Coulson say it was time to call in the Avengers.

That headline makes my head hurt.

As it was his explanation probably sprained a lot of brains in the audience. Trying to bring multidimensional theory into it would just induce headaches.

I loved the hell out of FFVIII, flaws and all-most of them with the story, since I didn't have a particular issue with the Junctioning system, which seems to be the main gameplay bone of contention.

The rich and wealthy use off shore loopholes to hold onto money.

So, like, I'm reading American Gods for the first time, and in the very first chapter there's a character called Low-Key Lysmith, or similar, and I think, "That's a bit on the nose, Gaiman" and promptly forgot about the character.

I didn't realize the name of this column was "NO SHIT, INTERNET" until now.

Yep. They've officially institutionalized the post-Mania Raw crowd.

Born Again came out from February to August 1986, Year 1 was February-May 1987. So, yeah, Year 1 is arguably the last thing Miller wrote that wasn't utterly batshit insane, though Hard Boiled and Martha Washington were pretty satirical.

As Miller's inspiration for 300 was a 1962 movie called The 300 Spartans, a movie he says he loved as a kid, I suspect 300 was something Miller wanted to do long before he actually did it.

You know, even with how Miller's writing increasingly felt like it was either clumsy satire or riffing on his own work like Sin City, just how godawful DK2 was still came as a shock. I'm reasonably certain Miller didn't actually want to do the damn thing, and his contempt for the project shows.
