And he’s the better looking one!

I remember arguing with my friends about guitarists growing up (as white boys in a Catholic school who got all their musical tastes from their baby boomer fathers do). To them, if you weren’t white and in legendary rock band or Jimi Hendrix, you didn’t even exist. No amount of Prince guitar solos I played for them…

Damn! Double damn! That was awesome. I’m apparently alone in thinking the first trailer was kinda lame, but this one made up for any doubts and then some.

COMPLETELY AGREED about all of this ... but side note about Kelly Preston. She was so good in Jerry Maguire and I never saw her again. I assume it was either a personal choice or Scientology, but she’s obviously talented, and I was always surprised her career never went any farther. Granted, she’s completely insane…

Fuck the haters, bring it on. This is a wildly random choice, but I like those kinds of choices and they’ve given us some of the best villains in the past.

We’ll see! I actually think “more more more” would improve B1 ... it’s completely bonkers, but there are some times where the cut scenes are a bit slow or the levels are a bit basic ... and then you’re transforming into a panther to run up the trunk of a giant angel monster and cut it open. But it is extremely tightly…

On the final boss on Bayonetta, so I’m excited to beat that and pick up Bayonetta 2, which everyone assures me is even better. I hear it fixes pretty much all the flaws of B1, which are pretty few, but mostly I just hope it doesn’t have Angel Attack, which is silly, annoying, and surprisingly difficult to actually get…

To a young, horny boy, this was my first opportunity to take “private” pictures. I always deleted them with a profound since of shame, but I probably didn’t need to worry since everything looked like blobs.

Yeah, poor choice of words on my part—I’m very happy about it for feminism reasons (and the villains a woman too!). But I’ve always had a soft spot for Lilly and the only big thing she’s done in the last little while is star in the shitty Hobbit movies.

I liked the first one fine, but this really looks like a blast! So glad to see them both as “equal partners” not for any feminism reasons but because Evangeline Lilly awesome and I’ve been waiting for her to get her due since Lost.

Same—I didn’t mind the piano or the snow, I thought they were interesting and lovely artistic choices. They did get a bit monotonous, but they were at least unique. I just found everything else so uninspired.

I was SHOCKED! Skyfall is my favorite of his—obviously it’s a stellar Bond movie, but the imagery and camera-work really elevate it into art.

I agree, but I’m satisfied with the love it did get ... and let’s be honest, it’s the most beautifully shot movie this year by a mile, like literally everything Roger Deakins has done. I just looked it up and he has NEVER won the award, which is a fucking crime, so now I’m really rooting for him to win here.

You have to be extra good at ignoring what actually happened to come up with that insult. Good job!

I gave Setsuna a chance almost solely based on what you said and then pretty much disagreed with everything you said—I found it completely soul- and personality-less. I actually didn’t mind the snow or piano or gameplay, but good god was I bored by the characters and story.

I’m torn on how to reply to you—I agree that I don’t know why Jason keeps reviewing JRPGs when he seems to hate them, but at the same time I was dreading this game would be exactly like he’s saying—technically fine, but lacking any heart or personality.

I love that someone mentioned another Blind Melon song! I came in here to submit “The Pusher” by them. I discovered it on Napster or something like that in the 90s and played it for everyone. It’s funny, it’s dark, it feels half-complete, and I love it.

I would argue he did more than enough to justify Luke’s current state—his nephew, whom he probably felt like a father to, and the first true “heir” to the Skywalker & jedi line, turned (or was turning, or so Luke assumed). Worse, Luke, who is human and unsure of literally every move he’s making b/c the jedi are no…

Dissatisfaction with Luke’s storyline is a complaint I don’t share but that I can most understand. The now-non-canon EU built him up into a ridiculous badass, and even non-EU fans have had 30 years to imagine how powerful and epic Luke has gotten, so to find him as a hermit with an attitude was jarring and, to some,…

Agreed. I know men’s rights people are out there, but in my experience on comment/message boards and Reddit, they are an extremely small minority mostly confined to their own, insular communities. The only complaints I was hearing about TLJ were about Luke, plot-holes, or some other legitimate issue (not my issues—I…
