Yeah, once I was in a theater and this guy's phone kept going off. Super annoying. Then another moviegoer shouts, "Dude, turn off your fucking phone!" Phone guy got up and left and didn't return. Rest of the movie went much smoother, and it was really heartening to see good etiquette being enforced. Easy choice.

Bullshit argument. If there's even a chance that he stopped her from texting in the future, he has done the world a net good.

Hot take: People who text in theaters are extremely distracting.

The guy probably is a creep, but " 'I had my phone low and I wasn’t bothering anybody,' she said. She was
texting a friend, who was having a fight with her boyfriend, she said. 'It wasn’t like constant texting.' " is a bullshit excuse and she—and all movie texters—deserve to be shamed.

Have you read The Silmarillion? Tolkien's conception of race isn't just about royalty, it's about cultures that accepted or rejected the message of the Valar and are thus superior or inferior based on that. I love the work, but his cosmology is all about justifying a hierarchical structure by which people can be…

I mostly remember thinking it was too long and not nearly focused enough on the Shrike. I came for razor monsters, not the clones of long-dead poets!

Beat Persona 5 and The Sexy Brutale, watched American Gods, and made gumbo. Pretty good weekend all around.

Or maybe the kids these days aren't tempted by needlessly grim 'n gritty reboots of those stories.

Also, since everyone's talking about how this is about a guy mad at his ex-wife, 100 Ways to Die was about a "nice guy" mistreated by his bitch girlfriend who dumps him for an asshole, but luckily the protagonist meets a smokin' hot chick who appreciates him and is also much more competent and thus able to care for…

"sci-fi dramedy"

I watch this show via Amazon Prime and they were absolutely there.

Although according to that recent Nielsen survey, only 7% of non-gamers and a remarkably low 29% of gamers even know what the Switch is, so it's not making waves the way I had assumed it was.

Oh, I don't think I need to grind, though I might drop down the difficulty just so I don't spend an hour chipping away at the boss's health bar (I actually started the fight last night, but it was clear it was going to take awhile and I had work today). Interesting, though. I'll keep that in mind for my NG+ run.

No, I'm in The Qliporth World? It's got some stupid name, but I'm at the Holy Grail fight. I never even heard about the Reaper. What is it? How easy is it to beat?

It's my GOTY right now (sorry, Breath of the Wild).

I liked Darksiders 1, but I liked Darksiders 2 a lot more. Hope you find it a better experience!

FWIW, Darksiders 2 is a rather different game than its predecessor. The combat is a little looser but easier, and it puts much more of an emphasis on Prince of Persia-style level navigation, all with a Diablo-style loot system providing variety and playstyle options. It's definitely worth a look.

That scene in Hannibal season two where Mason cuts his own face apart and feeds it to dogs.

I'm at the final boss of Persona 5. Or at least I think it's the final boss. I feel like some of the bigger reveals would make more sense for longtime fans of the series, because I'm a little lost about the significance of what's going on.

That section is basically the last though. You really are near the end. Pro-tip: Haru can be found on the school rooftop (but not until after you complete the palace?), and you should make a deal with her as soon as you can so that she can grow SP-restoring vegetables for you.
