Because the entire Star Wars universe consists of about 7 planets and 30 people, apparently. Everyone knows everyone, or knows someone who knows them. Nobody is ever more than two degrees of separation away from fucking Yoda (parse that as you please.)

So... you didn’t get to the ship combat or sailing, cultist missions, inventory upgrades, free exploration, leader takedowns, mercenary combat, arena, ability upgrades, hunting, war battles, romance options, tomb exploration... but you got bored. The Ritalin isn't stocked near the video games -- look elsewhere.

Funny you should say so, because as it happens a local theater here just ran Batman Returns as part of their Christmas programming.

Hun, 15 years ago on a forum called Megatokyo, I wrote a piece about how Die Hard is a Christmas movie because in my family, in the early 90's my dad, a USAF Maj., decided that he liked action more than the saccharine fair available at the time. We also watch lethal Weapon 1+2 and Die Hard 2. My mom was lobbying for

Or that there is Christmas decorations and stuff in the movie. He literally writes “Ho Ho Ho” on a body of one of the bad guys. Maybe rewatch it before concluding it isn’t a “Christmas” movie. Reindeer Games was released after Christmas. Iron Man 3 is around Christmas time and released in the summer. So it happens.

A lot of people bag on the wrong things with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Every time I see Toys R Us mentioned, I think about the absurd amoral behavior of equity firms.

There’s are a ton of people exactly like the comic book guy. I’d bet he’s based on a real person.

I will continue to say this despite getting a lot of grief. It wasn’t a bad movie, but it was a bad sequel. All the plot lines from TFA were dropped or hand waived away.

Last Jedi in my opinion wasn’t as bad as people make it out to be and I think it was far better than Attack of the Clones. Yes I was disappointed in how Luke was portrayed but at the end of the day it’s just a movie not real life. I’m definitely amazed that people hated it so much that they raised over $400 Million to

I managed a comic book store for years, and “Marvel or DC?” was easily the most common question I got from customers, especially those first few months I took over from the previous guy and the regulars were trying to get a gauge on me. It’s very real and very stupid.

I’d say a huge disappointment is the apparently very real DC vs. Marvel fanboys constantly fighting over dumb shit which I thought was only a thing on The Simpsons with comic book guy. 

Yes, he is the One True Blue God.

I thank Beebo everyday for the creation of Beebo. He is the One Blue God.

And he gets another nod for Wreck-It-Ralph. The man has really snuck up on me as one of my favourite, “shit, I’m glad he’s in this” actors. 

It gets overused, but Tess Thompson really is “versatile.” I barely realized it was “Valkyrie”in Annihilation and Sorry to Bother You. That’s some solid range. I’m psyched to see her in the new MIB (and, fingers crossed, Endgame).

I *loved* Dryden Vos’s persona, the expressions of concern and care and sympathy that led right into terrifying menace. I honestly expected him to give Beckett a hug the first time we saw them together.

I definitely had a laugh at the demon Apophis actually being a worm. It was a fun little extra for old SG1 fans.  I really hope it was deliberate.

I thought Shipka was fine, and any flaws I just chalk up to inexperience in a role like this. She’ll come into her own. Sarah Michelle Gellar was very “meh” during the first season of Buffy, and we all know how things turned out in the end.
