Nope. Target does not accept returns on opened software (which an activated key is equivalent to.) Almost no retailer offers refunds for software across the board, except GOG. Origin only offers refunds on EA games, and only within 24 hours.

A bunch of things got me in that book, especially since it came out right around high school graduation.

I knew it was going to happen, and I was still a mess. In fact, the whole reason I started watching Buffy was because I learned that what I thought was a silly teen genre show would have the balls to do something like that.

I just watched a video of the Twin Snakes Psycho Mantis fight, and it appears to be almost exactly the same as the original. The PS1 version also read your memory card (though it mentioned different games,) evaluated your performance, and did the "switch the game off" fake out.

The most egregious use of the "inspired by" tag that I had ever seen was for the soundtrack for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. The game had more than enough songs to fill out an album, yet most of them weren't actually on it.

Star Wars was conceived to be a successor to the old space serials, then executed with a high degree of quality, especially for the type of film at the time. Indiana Jones did the same thing with pulp magazines rather than space serials. There was nothing in either film that demanded to be taken as gravely important.

If you're going to do that, you should read the comments, which have some insightful responses, and in which Hulk participates. After all, even Hulk says that the essay was more a collection of thoughts than a final say.

Actually, a mass employee strike and customer boycott lead to that CEO buying the company. Which is pretty amazing.

I thought the same thing. Then Reed Diamond spoke in the stereotypical "Zee Germans" accent, and everything was okay.

What's "traditional" about Zero Theorem? It's Gilliam at his Gilliamest. It's at least more "avant garde" than Frances Ha.

The whole cube manipulation bit sounds like something out of Swordfish.

I'm not sure if even Adam Sandler finds the movies he's making these days to be funny.

Agents of S.T.E.A.L.

Comedy films make use of cinematic tools at least as much as comedy shows. They certainly make more use of them than multi camera sitcoms.

You must not have been following the Breaking Bad dialog, because it's been "overrated" ever since it got popular in season 5 or thereabouts.

They screwed with the wrong Rick.

For some reason, I can't get my mom into early Tarantino, but she liked stuff like The Wolf of Wall Street, Black Swan, Breaking Bad, and Sons of Anarchy.

I dragged my mother, brother and sister to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I was too young to see all of the warning signs. I still remember hearing at the time that the production basically ran out of money halfway through (which was made fun of on Letterman or Conan with a clip that had lower and lower production…

Damn, I had totally forgotten that I dragged my mother to that movie until you mentioned it.

I just watched the film for a second time a couple of days ago, and I kind of agree. I loved it the first time, but my reaction was mixed the second. For example, the film seemed to try to have a feminist message, but it never really amounted to much, and the whole point of the ending seemed to be "this is not how a…
