I’ve got one night to see as much of HHN as I can. This’ll be my 3rd year and I usually skip most of the food because I don’t want to risk having digestive issues, but some of these look really good.

It would be nice if Shudder upgraded to HD. I think the movies top out at 720i, maybe. I’m not looking for some kind of 8K thing, I just want it clear enough to read the subtitles, sometimes.

There are so many crappy games based on big IP. Rushed cash-grab games.

Since my dad moved down to Florida, I’ve been hitting the HHN in Orlando every year (this will be my 3rd year). I do NOT love jumpscares but I love the artistry and storytelling in these houses. “The Last of Us” is perfect because the gameplay is exploring scary places. Little game design aspects like putting debris…

Spiral was awful. IMHO.

I went to see Gran Turismo in 4dx at 10:30pm on Sunday — it was nearly packed! That theater’s rarely packed. But $4 for a ticket that can be close to $30 is a big deal.

It’s funny, this just went up because I finally returned to the show and finished the season yesterday. The comparison to LOST is definitely apt. Throughout the season, I kept wondering, “So what are they hiding??” And felt a little frustrated by the end of the season.

Gran Turismo is the first Neill Blomkamp movie I’ve really liked since District 9.

That guy would make a great “Dreamfinder” — if that Seth Rogan “Figment” movie gets made.

I stopped watching The Simpsons regularly a few years ago (lasted way longer than all my friends — I didn’t hate it but I just found that I’d let episodes pile up and it became a chore to keep up.)

A sausage egg mcmuffin with a hashbrown tucked in is one of my favorite meals on the planet.

This is the issue with these chain restaurants. You can totally get a sub-par version because of poor management.

That’s so cool because I remember reading about how Barbie got shut out of Premium Large Format screens because of the big guns of Oppenheimer and Dead Reckoning. Nobody expected Barbie to be this juggernaut.

Agreed. What I love about the Super Mario Movie is that it doesn’t overthink the adaptation. It’s a fun romp that embraces the oddities of the source material without trying to overplot a movie based on a platform videogame. I can only imagine all the versions of this script that strained to justify every aspect of…

The original “Princess and the Frog” underperformed at the box office and Disney attributed this to the word “princess” being in the title — which supposedly turned off little boys. Which is why they pivoted to one-word titles in “FROZEN” and “TANGLED”.

Arrow backpedaled faster than Reverse Flash.

“No Way Home” gifted Sony with the narrative opening to create sequels to the Tobey Maguire franchise and the Andrew Garfield franchise. Sony’s so desperate to squeeze blood out of their Spider-Man rights, you’d think they’d pursue those instead of investing money an a standalone “El Muerto” movie. For a town so risk…

The recent WTF podcast episode with Adam Conover is worth listening to, where he discusses the strikes.

I bought this on impulse because I adored Castle of Illusion on the Genesis when I was a kid, and it’s no coincidence that “Illusion” is part of their title. Banking on Gen-X fools like me. Mickey couldn’t die in that game either, but he could at least bonk (and SHOOT!) baddies.

I’m just glad that they’re giving Flanagan a run at this after that disastrous movie got made. It’s still baffling to me that so many big directors tried adapting that property over the years, so many versions died in development, and then THAT was the version that somehow managed to get made.
