This is less about “one failure” or shortsightedness, and more about the last 5 pixar movies have not made their money back (based on production costs and marketing). You are looking at over 3.5 years of losing money on every project. Granted, this is due to factors out of Pixar’s control, primarily covid related, but…

The strangest part is that, in the end, this almost doesn’t feel like a debacle. By all accounts, it sounds like it was an amazing experience and fairly well put together. It’s just that the pricing of the spectacle of it exceeded the traditional “every year we go to Disney” repeat business crowd that Disney really…

Oh, him seeing the AK made him fold A8? Oh that’s amusing ( or well, that’s poker, actually)

Yeah, if another another player says they saw someone else’s hand and folded on the deal, that would indicate the other hand is holding two high cards. A pair of queens facing this board is only afraid of kk or aa, and would be REALLY hard to not ride it all the way to the end.

“We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is a right wing anthem against cancel culture.

Frozen really riffs hard on the musical version of Wicked, so if you’ve seen Frozen, you’ll get most of the gist of the musical version.

Ok, this Barbie movie sort of looks interesting and fun and....

And this is why I'll never return to console gaming again. Aside from terrible frame rates below 60, the constant need to patch buggy and glitchy code irks me.

Yeah, I can certainly appreciate what people have been able to build with the crafting system...but I spend 8 hours a day at work trying to put stuff together in exacting ways to make “things work.” I really don’t have the patience for spending a half hour of my relaxing time to figure out the intricacies of sticking…

I get that watching and enjoying gundam anime or whatever crosses gender lines pretty well. But I wouldn’t mind seeing a citation of your assertion that “There are plenty of women who have designed a functional gundam board game.” Please list links or names or whatever. 

While some games may over lap to the two spaces, in board game genres, a political game is typically a much different beast from a war game. For example, “werewolf” is a political game, and chess is a war game.

Well, the difference is that James Earl Jones didn’t/doesn’t get top billing for spending a few hours in a recording booth, while everybody else is spending time on the set. (Granted, typically, the main character of most of the Star Wars stuff isn’t Darth.). But does Grogu’s voice-over talent get top billing?

The answer seems to be “less than you think.”

yeah, I assume that it would be fairly risky to patch this kind of stuff anyway because you don’t want to accidentally  break the physics system for everything else.

I’ve always had a problem with people complaining about the ending of BSG because “angels make no sense in sci-fi”. Starting with the pilot, the show is constantly talking about free will and the possibility of unseen forces and “people in your head” that help guide you.

I feel like the show ended up in a place that was a lot different from when it started, which was pretty much “a bunch of friends who hang out together” type of sitcom, but then started feeding off of it’s own memes/hype ( “it’s a show about nothing!” “these people are actually terrible!”).  Making fun of a carjacking…

One of the things that irked me about Will Smith Aladdin is the Prince Ali number, which looks like it could be a colorfully stunning and interesting choreographed number, but the camera shots cut so quickly that you never really get a chance to settle in and watch the choreography, and everyone just kind of comes off…

You probably should watch Mulan. It is probably the furthest thing you’ll see with regards to it being a “live action remake” of the original cartoon. It has a lot more in common with Asian wire-work sword and fantasy films than a musical.

The concept of “it’s odd that professional reviewers would be confused by the rules” is really not a true take. Im going to argue that there is no such thing as a professional board game reviewer.... They are just hobbyists with a YouTube channel, trying to make a side dollar of their hobby. (Technically, I guess they…

For the most part, no one had any idea what a Lost Ark was back in 1982 ( or whenever) aside from Noah’s Ark.
