Speculative Spoiler: the Mother's name is Robin too, so Marshall can win the bet.

Titanfall looks up my alley, but I have reservations about EA's market dominance and frustrating Origin service for PC downloads. (Oddly, I'm totally onboard for Steam.)

Huh? The steam-troller looks dope. Can't wait to shelve windows for good when the Steambox comes out.

20000 lines? Dude seriously needs to clean up his code.

I think the lament is that while Spacey is the best thing about House of Cards, he's just phoning it in, with the genre-aware villain being a role he is now typecast for, apparently.

I could be that guy.

I think I appreciate Snyder's sentiment, anyway. The more faithfully you remake it, the more pointless it would be to do so in the first place (Imagine a set of shot-for-shot still frame images with characters speaking the lines over them, then kill yourself.) While remaking it less faithfully inevitably changes the…

Fucking Gladstone.

Thanks for reminding me! Chicago is my pick for worst pick. And not just because it's a musical! Because it's soulless (murder is ok, if you're hot!) and forgettable (though, Gere was good in it, maybe?).
I think Chicago won just because musicals were making a comeback.
The other nominees were all a bit shady (Scorsese…

I would explain to you why Magnolia wasn't nominated, but you wouldn't be able to hear me over this loud music. And now it's raining.
Cruise was really good in it, though.

I think in 10 years, No Country For Old Men will look very contrived, the way American Beauty is today. Bardiem is terrifying and Jones is weathered, but the story itself is just "take every genre movie cliche and subvert it." So the bad guy wins, people aren't rescued in the nick of time, the aging cop doesn't make…

That Heroes series finale link goes to a staff page. Fixy?

The "best" TV edit I've ever seen, having seen the original, is definitely Mallrats. The cut I watched was sublimely surreal.

I grew up watching a VHS copy of a TV Edit of Romancing the Stone.

Yes. The comic is quintessentially brash. Even better, let's call it quintessentially fucked up. Bringing it to TV (and the 2010's, if they update it) will definitely change the character of the story.

I liked what was going on in this episode, but the dialog was so awful at a few points I couldn't help but groan. I'd have to rewatch it to call out specific carpentry, but generally it was a few wooden blocks of Kennex asking the witness something.
