The problem with video game adaptations is that studios continue to tackle games that are either a) next to impossible to translate to film in a way that’s meaningful or b) so cinematic themselves that adapting them is pointless.

It’s fucking ridiculous that Paul WS Anderson continues to lead the pack for video game adaptations by a vast margin. It’s almost proof positive that video game movies can never be “good,” they can only be “stupidly, earnestly fun,” and you need a termite auteur like Anderson to deliver it. I don’t want to believe…

I’ll put “I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom” up against anything Bob Dylan ever wrote.

Shock G was one of the most underrated talents of the “Golden Age” of Hip Hop. His production was fun, his flow was excellent, and his humor was puckish. He had a knack for creating believable falsehoods and personas. One of my favorite Digital Underground songs is “Nuttin’ Dis Funky” on This is an EP Release where…

“doesn’t seem worth the effort made”.

This. A zillion times this.

You swap out “forehead veins” with “pants” and I think your post would still be accurate.

“What?! I demand MANDATORY GENITAL INSPECTIONS of ALL animated movie characters! I want a law on my desk by the END OF THE DAY!”

Which is the opposite of what Sam tells Bucky to do in making his amends.

Sulagna, you nailed it with how committed the global entity acted and even the Senate (?) committee in their outrage at John Walker’s actions- it’s like, well gosh I can see why people want to live in the MCU- look at elected official’s palpable outrage that one of their authorized officers killed a non-white…

Honestly, I think the pilot of TWD might be the best episode, and the show never truly touched those heights again.

Too bad.  Trump would have lost to Obama and then not run again.

Borderlines will hold onto “that one bad thing you did four (or ten) years ago,” then shame, blame, and defame you for the rest of your relationship. A codependent will rationalize the behavior and do nothing. Just DTMF. This relationship is doomed.

Exactly this. She’s clearly wielding his cheating — again, four years ago -- as a cudgel to keep him in line. That said, depending on what the drug in question is, this might be a different situation than we’re imagining.

No, control is a tightening noose. His guilt over his earlier transgression caused him to be too abiding; she took that submission and ran with it, to the point where she’s telling him what substances he can ingest, and what things he can’t do without her.

If this is Fisher not being cryptic, maybe he should go back to being cryptic. Because if this is the whole story basically boils down to:

Yep. It just made Batman look like a moron, to be honest. Batman shouldn’t know less than the audience. That kind of limits the character to generic action hero, which admittedly is probably all Snyder wanted to do anyway.

As someone who didn’t like Man of Steel or Batman v Superman, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Yes, it was bloated and self-indulgent, but if it was cut down to around three hours, it would zip right along. I really liked the added character stuff for Cyborg, the Flash, and…

I didn’t love the Injustice scenario that much - even though there are things in that uni that I love, like Harley Quinn becoming part of the Bat Family - but at least it understood that for such a large-scale conflict to work, you need those characters to be different from how they actually are. That story hinges on…

yah, this is serious conference call 101 stuff. I don't want to hear your kids, your dog, or you beating off to descriptions of me pleasing you wife.
