Beyond the music aspect, the thing about West Side story though, is that it is really technical work of movie art, filled with all sorts of interesting set designs, costuming ( it’s only recently that I noticed the costuming color codes at the school dance between rival gangs), and camera shots.

Didn’t we just go through that kind of thing with ios blocking all searching of the term “asian” with their safety filter?

Apple CREATED the cesspit when they allowed in-game transactions, allowed free to play, decided that “Top Grossing” is a good way to promote “good games”, and decide to push games on the front page of the app store based on name recognition and advertising budgets of large app makers.

“credit to Apple for making mobile gaming less of a cesspit.”

Actually, the digital version of Gloomhaven is pretty well done.

I always found the the first Keaton Batman movie interesting because it’s the only Batman movie where it feels like the “worlds greatest detective” actually does detective work ( “Alfred, Let’s go shopping.”).

The Boo-yah thing is what Cyborg has been known for the last 15 years of Teen Titans cartoons.

My definition of Snyder is basically the story of a guy who is trapped in a dead end job all of his life pushing paperwork around, but all he’s ever dreamed of is being a ballerina.

Yep. the whole point was to homage old “drawing room murder” stories.

Yeah, that’s sort of my round-about-thinking.

My experience with Monster Hunters in the past is that the game will severely beat you up if you go in expecting a button-mashing good time, or Assassin Creed guards who A) have the awareness of scarecrows of what’s going on around them and B) really provide no honest pushback.

Nothing is ever new!

I don’t remember the Robert Downey JR Holmes movies being very drug-centric, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen those. I do remember him hanging out in an opium den at one point, but he was in disguise and it seems like it was implied that he was there hiding out or being on a case or something as opposed to…

Most Asians don’t see themselves as “Asian” but as a member of a distinct culture, with various attitudes and hostilities towards the other Asian ethnicities.

Hey now, corporate synergy dictates that Apple has to push their preferred music somehow.

“The movie also made multiple emphasis on saving civilians. It took out the awful Whedon sequence of saving the lone Russian family, and restored literally all the other instances of the heroes saving civilians, which was cut out in the first place by Whedon.”

“But in the middle of it, a massive car accident at the intersection right outside occurs, triggering his flash speed and leading to a slow-motion meet-cute with Kiersey Clemons’ would-be victim, after he saves her from certain death.”

Sure, I’m not against putting up a disclaimer saying “This production is brought to you in X:X aspect ratio as intended by the director” or something. Sometimes it’s good to know. The thing is that:

I’m curious...did anyone else think that the Lex Luther in the water segment during the opening credits Superman scream silliness was laughably “Land Of The Lost” 1970's TV show bad?

CREATIVE INTEGRITY!
