The “let’s mock the service that presents stories in chunks of 10 minutes” always seemed like a reach to me, considering that’s how network TV works, and how 95 percent of cable TV works (and Hulu, and YouTube is not starting that kind of thing)( actually 10 minutes without commercial breaks seems kind of long). I…

A vast majority of cases get removed from the equation by "not shutting things down" but instead by simply "wearing a mask".

A lot of D&D has “baked in” numbers and checkboxes to describe characters, which make it easy to “chart-ify and table-ize” results...alignment harkens back to that. A lot of the more modern systems ( which Friends A The Table use as they bounce around from system to system) are designed to be more story-centric and…

The “silent projection” thing is interesting because of how much it harkens back to german expressionalism silent films (granted, that’s kind of Burton’s thing ).

If Star Trek has taught me anything, it’s that every supposedly uninhabited winds up having some kind of intelligent like, whether is a god who just wants to be left alone, a giant space squid buried under the ruins of a dead city, or some being that’s made of an energy force that the crew of the Enterprise is trying…

Without gathering your data and tracking you, none of those wonderful health benefits that the apple watch provides exists.

I think the problem is that they are only counting scifi/fantasy movies. But yeah, otherwise Top Gun would be on an all-80s list for sure. (I want to say that 48 hours is really the Eddie Murphy movie career start for him).

The interesting thing is that Annie Potts probably had the better “onscreen” career of the two.

For a Star Wars movie? Mainly that it didn’t involve a Death Star.

I would argue that the one of the worst parts of the sequels is the way they overpowered Force powers. They turned force-users from people who only could jump really high with limited telekinesis, limited ability to talk or appear as ghosts, and somewhat limited ability to muck around with people’s minds into…

My problem with with Snyder-based DC world is that every movie seems to essentially revolve around large sections of indestructable beings mercilessly punching each other to no avail. Heck, the perfectly fine Wonder Woman even left a bad taste in my mouth because of the “hey we’ve still got $30 million left in our CGI…

It effectively a photo safari game. And was pretty darn fun for the time. It’s one of the game that seems like the WiiU was perfectly suited for, but nintendo blew it on that one. ( Along with Silent Scope, and a decent Fatal Frame game ). 

If I’m spending $30,000 on something, I’d really like to sit in it and see if I’m comfortable with it and not just have an Amazon delivery guy drop it off.

Crimson Peak maybe?

The good ghosts versus bad ghosts thing is probably more common that you think. Three off the top of my head ( not from recent movies): “High Spirits”,“Beetlejuice,” and “The Frighteners.” 

But, is that really “toxic”? I mean, I can understand if people are screaming “Yeah, Puerto Rico is awesome because I get to whip my slaves to produce more indigo! This is awesome!” then sure, that seems toxic. But if all people want to talk about is implied value of a rule (at what point in the game should you buy a…

It’s funny because the one Monster Hunter game I played ( Tri on the Wii), I was sort of impressed that they KIND OF implemented the physics of swinging around giant swords and such by making the motions slow and deliberate. Once you started swinging, you better hope to hit something, because it’s going to take a long…

Locke and Key on Netflix seemingly takes place in the most ethnically diverse Northeastern small town fishing village known to man.

That’s one of the things I liked about most of the Channel Zero seasons. They were less about “OOH JUMP SCARE!” and much more about a long form creeping dread.

SPOILERS!
