It’s smart of Flowers to save some face. You know, he’s only got one.

It all started with that haircut episode

We’ve damn near got an Elmore Leonard Cinematic Universe going here

It’s gonna be glorious - it always is when the terminally-online types try doing what they do online in the real world. 

Obviously “enjoyed” is not the word to describe the experience of watching The Entire History of You, but I appreciated how smart the episode was with the ambiguous consequences of the husband being more concerned about being right than happy. It’s natural to want to know if your wife if cheating, but be careful how…

OP has “Memento is the best depiction of how anterograde amnesia (by far the most common type of amnesia) works that I’ve ever seen” tattooed on his chest. 

Mind. Blown.

I would be interested in a Lindelof adaptation, but so far, only Darabont and Flanagan seem to really get King.  Others have come close and I’m not discounting Stand by Me or other good adaptation, but those two come close even when making changes to the source.  I give Flanagan props for reconciling the book and…

I do the exact same thing. I’m only 35, but I’ll look back on things I’ve said and done 5, 10, 20 years ago and shutter. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by friends who are better than I deserve, so I can learn from them. Sounds like you’re been given the chance to be better as well. 

This is a great response, and this type of response is one of the few reasons I still come here.

Thank you, and I know. Still, sometimes you think of a past version of yourself and go: “Oof.”

(Case in point: We looked at our first draft of that previous sentence, realized it just looked wrong without the word “beleaguered” in there, and went back and added it in.)

I guess Nathan Rabin has been gone long enough that nobody even cares about ripping him off, huh?

Thanks

Jezebel could write a week’s worth of columns just from this interview. 

I agree. I like Horizon, but it has a weirdly awful version of this too. What on earth did they think they were achieving with the chests that you have to pry open with your spear by holding R2 (adaptive trigger on too), which turns them into a regular chest that you can now loot by holding triangle? Yeah, there are ch…

Fucking hate having to hold a button to pick things up. How anyone thought that was a good idea in any way is beyond me. But somehow not surprising anymore in our age of increasing incompetence with so many things. Im sure they have some nonsense reasoning, while ignoring the existence of all the games that let you…

Really, what it comes down to is open world games are way too full of impossible to fail busy work. It’s mostly killed the entire genre for me.

Get it right. It’s “Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius”
