I saw the midnight premier of Snakes on a Plane and it was one of the most fun theater experiences I had. The crowd was really into it (fueled, no doubt, by all the liquor we smelled once the lights went down). Sure, it was a silly film, but it delivered exactly what it promised.

Oh shit, I didn’t know Scavenger’s Reign was picked up for a second season. That’s excellent news.

Hopefully that will give it the nudge it needs to get a season 2.

Yeah, I wish whoever runs these things would grow a pair and force The Bear into the Drama category where it belongs.

Right? For instance, I have no memory of Hiam Abbass being in the show. (She’s been popping up a lot lately. She’s so good in Ramy.)

My favorite needle drop from Mr Robot is “The Head That Controls Both Right And Left Sides Eats Meats And Slobbers Even Today” by Bleach. It’s an absolutely raging Japanese noise rock track that plays as Joanna Wellick is getting dressed at the beginning of S2E8. It’s such an awesome contrast between the fury of the…

Or Mo Cheeks helping out Natalie Gilbert when she blanked on the anthem before an NBA playoff game:

In that, it is a kind of film they don’t make anymore: an action escapade that takes itself just seriously enough, but never too seriously

Holy shit, is AV Club back from the dead?

Oh man, I hope not. I just finished the protorelic quest with Fort Condor and hated every minute of it. (I wasn’t a fan of it in the Remake DLC either.)

This just supports my belief that the world is controlled by the duumvirate of The Shareholders and The Children.

Same. I love games that allow you to change difficulty mid-game. I played FFVII:Remake on normal most of the way, but after getting thwomped by Leviathan over and over again, I switched it to Easy for that fight and didn’t feel bad about it. Otherwise, that game’s Normal mode was baby bear for me--not too easy, not…

This is basically Jordan from Gen V, who switches between male and female (and each gender has different powers). There’s even a subplot about how their father can’t handle how Jordan likes to present as female half the time.

As someone who hates 3D, I don’t mind movies made in 3D as long as they’re still good in 2D. 

Nah, the chief reason why it flopped was because it was completely swallowed up by the Barbenheimer hype. When those two films opened a week later, M:I-DR was all but forgotten,

My wife and I didn’t find Alexa to be worth it and we got ours for free. We pulled the plug on it two days after setting it up.

I downloaded the demo last night, but didn’t get past the first screen that said an Ubisoft account was required to play the game. I noped out of that in a hurry. There’s precisely zero reasons why a game like this should require a login.

I’m 4/5 of the way through Echo and it’s just a mess. I know it was cut down from 6 episodes to 5, but it feels like they cut out even more than that. Some things make no narrative sense, like when Maya is captured and suspended upside down over the roller rink—except her kidnappers want to keep her hidden until they…

I was going to say it’s a reverse of those “first impression” reviews from random influencers that come out a week before proper critical reviews, but yeah, yours is much more accurate.

Benedict Wong is a great casting choice for Da Shi. He was my favorite character in the books, especially the second one.
