I’ll give it a few more episodes because of the goodwill I have towards the writers, but the pilot was pretty bland. The “clever” zingers and fast talking that Kaling is usually so good at comes off very forced. I don’t know if it’s the writing or that they just cast poorly. And, while I hear there’s a gay storyline…

I get that, but they clearly set it up to be incredibly ambiguous—if not incredibly obvious that he probably survived and/or is stuck in the upside down. He’s on the other side of the lightning than the scientists, we don’t see him get blown up (while they clearly show the scientists blow up), we don’t see a body or…

The decline in the quality of his movies? I have to put that on him. The decline in output? Hard to say, but some of it is, yes. The Alien stuff was probably never more than a dream to him, although I’m sure he lobbied hard and wanted it to happen, but I’d put that mostly down to Ridley Scott and the studio not…

There’s clear blame to spread around for his other “almosts” over the last few years, but between this sort of thing and his generally shitty follow-ups to District 9, his cache in Hollywood certainly isn’t holding up (and I’m having trouble bringing myself to care). But I will NEVER forget how blown away I was by…

PLEASE DON’T SUCK PLEASE DON’T SUCK! I genuinely want Murphy to make another great comedy, and this cast is looking better and better, but I’m still worried.

The omission of Galaxy Quest, especially in an AV Club article, is particularly tough. I get that 1999 is one of the best years ever for movies, but that movie very easily could have been a fat turd but by some miracle is basically flawless beginning to end. The delicate line it walks satirizing but clearly revering…

Trailer looks decent, although VERY Dexter-ish like you said. Also like you said, Sean William Scott is just ... great. You couldn’t be more right that he’s almost always the best part of whatever he’s in, and I hope I see more of him.

I’ll never forget “discovering” this show when I was stuck in NYC during Hurricane Sandy. I’d watched a few episodes and enjoyed it, so we traipsed around until we found an open Best Buy, bought the S1 and S2 DVDs, and binged every episode. I’ll never stop evangelizing this show, because it’s just a complete blast.

I’m surprised that YOU’RE surprised they hate it. It’s taken the Crash route—positive reviews, Oscar win, steadily rising reassessment/backlash, etc. I still like it b/c I liked it when I saw it, but it’s easy to watch now and realize how ... childish, it all seems. Like a first year art student’s idea of a prestige…

I have been burned too many times before, with each sequel somehow being shittier than the last. T3 was always going to pale in comparison to T2, but it looks like the fucking Godfather compared to Salvation, and I never bothered to see Genisys because I watched the trailer. Didn’t Cameron say all this same shit about…

I LOVE LATRICE and seeing her in this series is so great. She’s also not wrong about the Verde sauce. All the sauces are good, but why would you get rid of the one unique one and just keep the 4 different levels of heat? Mild is just delicious. Medium and Hot are pointless—they’re not even that hot. Diablo is good and…

If that’s what GRRM has in mind, I trust him to build up to it properly and justify it and I’ll likely be happy with it. I don’t have a problem with Bran becoming king. I have a problem with show-Bran of seasons 6-8, whose story D&D cared so little about they just cut him from an entire season, being made king because…

I don’t know how many times I can repeat this, but what happened was not the problem--it was how they got there. They clearly just wanted it to end and pushed the show and the characters to that endpoint without giving a shit if it made sense or not. If that’s the ending GRRM has in mind, I’m happy with it, but that’s…

I hate that the internet is making me feel bad for these twats, because they absolutely don't deserve to be afraid to go out in public, but they also don't deserve my pity after the colossal fuck-up that was season 8. 

Based on other comments that understand more about hardware than myself (although nothing about what’s actually inside the Switch Lite) there is specific hardware within the Switch itself that allows it to dock. That may be missing in this, so it might not be possible.

Tons of people play their Switch exclusively in handheld mode and/or on the go—do you not see how this might appeal to people like them considering the size and the battery life? I’m a bit miffed it doesn’t support TV mode--if the dock is really nothing more than a connector and provides no extra processing power…

Seems odd that you can’t use TV mode at all—didn’t we confirm the dock has no extra processing power, it’s basically just a connector? I mean obviously that’s not the point of this model, but it still seems odd they couldn’t just keep that feature in case anyone wants to use it.

Nintendo loves random colors--remember the purple GBC or GameCube? And people always fall in love with them in the end. 

She really is fucking awesome--I can’t wait to see what she does in this. Still skeptical about this whole idea, but I want it to be good so I’ll remain somewhat optimistic!

Having kinda disliked the earlier AC games I tried, I gave this one a shot b/c of the Greek setting and LOVED it. However, whatever line they tried to walk with the modern-day stuff failed spectacularly—I’ve been transported to the present once or twice and had no fucking idea what was happening, who these people…
