I replayed the first one recently for the first time in probably a decade, and what struck me was the remarkably sophisticated level design for a freeware tie-in “Doom” clone completed in such a rush. And whoever recorded the Flemoid sounds is a plain genius.

Aw, man, for a second there I misread the article and thought there might be a sequel to “8MM" happening.

Of all the cops I’ve ever met personally or interacted with professionally, Marshals take their job most self-seriously.

I love how this cop’s punishment is in getting kicked off a U.S. Marshals body bag team and back onto the streets.

I love Kevin so much. He is just such a joy in trying to spice up his terrible existence by learning how to cook gourmet food using office appliances.

Krysten Ritter is delightful and it’s about time we gave “super hot chick who grew up in front of a camera right about when everything started turning into cameras” a directorial voice. I mean that sincerely.

I feel like at whatever size she could always lean into being kind of a crazy nuts bag.

I’m late here, but there’s a glaring error in this article.

I get where you’re coming from, and agree that “Solo” wasn’t the greatest movie ever, yadda yadda.

Right. My understanding also is that the immense labor behind the movie magic that went into the original trilogy somewhat tempered Lucas’ worst impulses. Like, he had to work around the fact that his crew were building special cameras and giant puppets as a down payment on what I only presume was an irresponsible drug…

Pfft. Your average podunk cop wishes he looked half this good:

“Hey, where’d the Colonel go? Oh wait, nevermind, time to mindlessly shoot two dozen giant robots!"

Having spent a decent amount of time in “Metal Gear Solid” fan communities, there are way too many people who idolize the memes and iconography and slick weapons-fetish presentation of the series without actually understanding what the point of the story is.

Also, that shot looks incredibly like one of those old-timey natural curiosity photographs.

Yeah, I dunno what the GOP expected by railroading Garland out of a Supreme Court seat in favor of Gorsuch and a pair of clown shoes, but “Huh, I wonder if he’s going to take this offense personally?” really should have factored into that decision.

Thank you for posting this, because going off the header I was prepared to say, “This duck actually is not a very long boi," which would have made me look foolish. 

All I’m saying is that Vin Diesel had better take whatever likeness rights royalties from this and put them straight into making another “Riddick” movie.

You can’t fault McDonald’s here. These sorts of obsessively fanned pop culture tie-ins have a spotless track record.

And here I thought what lends “Law and Order” its unmistakable New York ambience was tossing a pittance to apartment owners for the privilege of having Dick Wolf swing by personally and knock a giant chunk out of your living room wall with a C-stand.

I have the sense she’d do really well at the sort of psychotic scenery chewing Dennis Hopper in “Speed” type villain roles that you don’t see a lot of anymore.
