Was all set to finally finish up on Dragon Quest XI for really reals this time, but Calasmos kicked my ass six ways to Sunday so I’m pretty sure I’ve got more levelling to do. Oh well. Still fun!

Ah yes the Modern Language Association is part of the woke agenda. Jesus Christ man. 

Was it something she actually said at any point? Because it seems like such a forced thing. By the time Amy Winehouse rose to prominence the Spice Girls weren’t even a thing anymore!

Isn’t this just a more boring version of Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends?

The Poe movies are great. The Raven is this amazing lavish fantasy comedy, The Pit and the Pendulum is top tier, and The Haunted Palace is actually a Lovecraft adaptation. I watched them when they were on the Criterion Channel late last year, it was a grand time. 

Yeah this is one of the things we’re seeing more and more- studios being made to work on games that don’t really fit their skill set at all and the results being not great. Gollum was made by people who normally did graphic adventure stuff, that awful Kong game was a small South American studio being told to make a…

Maybe this is inaccurate because I’m using a sample size of like 2 or 3 but it seems weird to me that modern (or even modern-ish, like in the past 10 years or so) romcoms are drifting towards plots where at least one of the participants- usually not one of the leads- is a multi-millionaire celebrity so there’s an…

It is sort of by necessity, though- the average classic Who story was about the length of a feature film in total, so basically nuWho has to tell a story in half the time. They have to zip through a lot of things. I think I’ll always favor the old school but I enjoy the new stuff anyway.

If they own a 20 ft TV sure.

I mean, it’s a big action comedy with lots of neat looking setpieces, surely it plays better on a big screen right?

I’ve been playing La Mulana on my PS4 since picking it up on sale. I played it a bit on Mac before Catalina broke all 32-bit applications, and maybe it’s that it’s been a while and I’ve gotten better as a gamer, or maybe it’s just being on a controller, but I’m having a much smoother time with it now. Like it’s still…

I got a Firefly notification for this?

That movie rules tho

I’d say Dredd has satirical elements but it’s kinda low key (and the comic itself would frequently veer back and forth between dark comedy like “Requiem For A Heavyweight” and action-heavy stuff like the Judge Death things.) 

I mean Phantom had a following around it for a long time, even post Crawford, so that was a fair bet. But yeah this book had a big initial push but didn’t stay long in the memory. 

Transphobia is apparently a hell of a drug. Once people start on it, it becomes their entire fuckin’ life. 

He was also the focus of a running gag on MST3k, where someone reading a newspaper would shout out “Zack Norman is Sammy in Chief Zabu!”, which was an ad that ran in Variety for quite a while. 

And Tangerine Dream did the scores for a few films as a group, including Sorcerer and Thief.

It’s not necessarily “making” the Doctor anything, the idea has always been out there and the ambiguity of the show on the subject lets people imagine quite a bit. Still, several moments of the new series established that the Doctor does, on occasion... dance, and is a bit flexible when it comes to partners.
