This brings up a good point, which is that many video games are rehashes of movie genres, sold around the idea of letting you play your favorite movies. Often adapting popular games back to films just feels redundant.

I thought Greeb Room had a lot to say on the ways culture can trap and manipulate people.

Just watched Green Room today. Amazing movie that I don't need to watch again for a decade.

Gimmie five bees for a person, I'd say!

Both were highly competent, enjoyable films that never really gelled into greatness.

A Talking Cat?!?

It just looks so nakedly mercenary. It's like someone threw the B plots from five different kids movies and a couple Now That's What I Call Music CD's in a blender and said fuck it.

Also, if someone asks you to do something that makes you uncomfortable and you're in a safe place to decline, you should probably just decline. This pushed a weird button for me in that I feel like some people will let a bad situation go on just so they can complain about it publicly.

Roman fucking kills himself, doesn't he? Goddamn do I hate the Heroic Suicide ending.

"Kind of like how Trump is simultaneously a crazy old racist idiot but is
barely one month away from setting up death camps and electroshocking
everyone who looks the wrong way at another guy?"

Man, I could not get through more than 20 seconds of that Ace Ventura clip.

They all seem to revolve around stupid twists or high-concept fuckery that sounds like Gen-Xers having a wank.

That's also what I was thinking. Same basic thing but more supernatural.

Yossarian!!!!!!!(?)!

Fuck, marry, kill?

I've never understood the assertion that "live action" somehow means "better." I think Kim's natural home is in animation, which plays exactly to the comic/serious tone of the show. It seems like live action Kim Possible would just be, like, Spy Kids.

I thought it was really well written, too. A little try-hard sometimes (cosmic rosary, let the religious imagery get a little too good to you,) but really nice.

Josh Ritter! I don't care about the rest of this!

Yeah, that doesn't really describe his role in Inception, either. He's defining attributes in that movie are being 1) the guy bank rolling the heist, and 2) curious about how this dream stuff works.

That's what has me sort of interested again—it's been on a weirdly long time by now, and seems to have amassed quite a universe of characters but—it just wasn't any GOOD when I watched.
