Lots of people display toys, figures, or silly things in their homes or at their desks. I see Funko Pops littered all over the cubicles of my co-workers. It didn’t strike me as too unusual that he’d opt to take it, especially when considered as a moment of sentimentality while going through lots of emotions about…

I have a collection of Belle figurines.  I met the voice actress, nicest woman in the world.  Got me through a lot.  I feel no shame at all.

I think Woody is one of the most fully realized characters in cinema. Think about how the character changes over the course of four films, from the arrogant leader of the first film to the searching, lost toy in the fourth film.

I am a man, and I wouldn’t have found it particularly odd for one of my college roommates to have an old toy. If he actually played with it like a kid, yeah that would be weird. But if he just had it on a shelf as a memento or something, no problem.

Saying a “drunk roommate” would throw your shit out the window makes me think the writer is a bad drunk who was less popular in college than he thinks.

Yeah, I referenced both of those things above. I’m 40, my husband is 37, we don’t have kids but we do have a pretty impressive collection of Lego, baby yoda figures, Haunted Mansion memorabilia, etc. (Basically Disney/Pixar/Marvel/Star Wars have all of our money.)

OK, I am a cis woman so I can’t speak for dudes, but ... I brought a few toys with me to college? Some stuffed animals, a Mr Potato Head, a few other odds and ends. And I’m now 40 and looking at my shelf full of Baby Yoda toys, so... would it really be THAT weird for a guy to bring a favorite old cowboy doll (“action…

Most games need a ‘save anywhere’. I can forgive JRPG’s for having save points, but I cannot forgive a ‘no save, or alternative limited save function’.

The difficulty is such a bummer! I was *really* excited for this, but I’m really easily discouraged and typically don’t last long in punishingly difficult games, so this is probably out of the question for me. And then the save thing on top of that? Ugh.

It doesn’t need to be long if the experience is great, right? I paid the equivalent of about 70 dollars in the 90s for my video games, which were rarely longer than 2 to 3 hours. No regrets. And the other day I went out to eat with the missus and paid about 90 dollars for a 2,5 hour dinner and drinks. Totally worth it.

Not being able to save is an instant deal breaker for me. I rarely have more than an hour at a time available to play (kids, etc). And even if I did, I’m not sure if I’d want to play a game like this for hours at a time. Pretty sure I’d be exhausted :D

At least it was better than his rightwinger phase (Disclosure: Sexual harassment is something women make up to get back at men who spur them, Rising Sun: Japanese corporations are just a plot to destroy America, or State of Fear: Global Warming is a hoax created by environmentalists in order to make themselves rich).…

If Bruce had more than 5 minutes I may agree, but the film is largely unwatchable.

Ignatiy says it “understands a thing or two about B-movie pleasures,” but this was supposed to be an A-movie, blockbuster. It had a Burger King promotional tie-in, Upper Deck made a complete set of foil-packed trading cards.. If it had been shot as a B-movie, maybe it would have been better, but I don’t think you can…

I remember reading The Lost World and realizing, “Oh! Books can be sell-out sequels too.” 

All I remember about this movie is Amy, the gorilla that can sign with the special glove that translates phrases like “Amy good gorilla.” for her.

Can you get me in contact with your dealer? Because he has to be selling you some prime shit if you believe that there is anything amusing about this movie. It’s not even a good ‘bad’ movie. Congo wasn’t that great of a book to begin with, but this movie is a lot worse. I’m sure that it was written on the fly right…

It’s an excellent comic book. Funnier and more thoughtful than it had any right to be.

“what if I want to see a ratted-up purple-haired Cinderella?”

Horrified, okay. And .... what, exactly? What are they going to do about said horror? Nothing, nada, zip. Republican outrage against another Republican either gets swallowed, or expressed in a mild tone and gone after ten minutes.
