But the latter part was exactly why I thought it was weird. It’s not that those relationships he explains aren’t interesting, but it is weird, at least to me, to express how they are more interesting than romance. And here is also where it gets a little bit tricky as I can’t find the original quotes, but I feel he…

On that front, I kept thinking on NWN2 and how incredibly creepy the female LIs were there.

As a note related to Unspooled, while it is not being a minority film in anyway, I don’t know if is hilarious or frustrating how hard Amy Nicholson keeps trying to avoid admitting that the Dark Knight belongs on the list. It’s not even that she rejects it, she just really, really doesn’t want to state it.

I’ve been listening to the Unspooled podcast, where they watch and discuss the AFI top 100 films list, and they keep hitting on this who almost all the movies are by men about men. Not just that, but that very specific types of stories keep being repeated there. While not surprising, it has been a fascinating journey…

Before anything else, Jesus Christ that John Stagliano quote. Even if I knew nothing else of the man, that quote would make it clear how big of a scum he is.

Something I realize that whenever I read something like this about a creator, I start reflecting on what they have done before and if these revelations cast some of those stories/decisions in a more questionable light.

I think the focus on the death rate is starting to be a problem with the spike wit young people infections. While it is unquestionably true that the mortality rate with their infections isn’t really there, I’ve read a lot of admittably anecdotal evidence that the Covid-19 still absolutely wrecks their system and that…

I kind of love how excited this article is about removing Batfleck version of the character because he killed and replacing him with another version of Batman who also killed.

Yeah, but it would if the female character felt more central instead being literally present to be there that empowered character who doesn’t really seem to be central. And the black character is there to help the white guy to become a superagent.

Oh, I remember being deeply uncomfortable at the end of X-Men: First Class when it was literally all the good white guys staring down the assorted collection of villaneous minorities. After killing off the only black guy in the movie and setting it in the 1960s.

So this does not reflect at all the quality of the film, but I keep laughing that their decision for a follow-up on Kingsman 2, where they killed off the only competent female agent off-screen, made the African-American female agent borderline useless and had the Latino agent be a traitor, well sort of, is this. I…

The news this relates to is already several months old, but I myself learned it only yesterday and have not been able to stop laughing about it ever since.

It gets even wilder as Lindsay Graham, who heads the Senate Judiciary Committee whose task it would be to confirm Clayton, basically put out a public statement where he indicated that he would allow the two New York senators to reject Clayton through some procedural trick.

I’m still really struggling to comprehend how the same group who spent the eight Obama years constantly complaining about goverment overreach and questioning every decision as some nefarious action are now fucking applauding their President using the Justice Department as his personal stooge factory and firing every…

I think my genuine puzzlement with the show is around the question that what Excalibur chose a queen instead of a king as within the myth, Arthur was a great king, so what exactly be the benefit or improvement? Especially when implemented in this manner.

Yeah, like many things, the way DAI handled the Red Lyrium aspect was baffling as it just made people evil and was all around while in DA2 only one idol made of it caused so much destruction. Hell, it was absurd as even with all the issues with Act Three, I still argue Meredith’s story was a powerful and was such a…

On the Gaetz item, I even went and read the article behind the link and I still can’t make any sense what he is trying to achieve here. And yeah, I get the dunking on the Dems part, but it is just absurd.

Thinking on it, I think for me what is puzzling me is that what would be the reason we would root for Nimue to keep the sword instead of Arthur? As, if they are leaning in to the mythology, Arthur was a great king, so what exactly is achieved by Nimue keeping it instead? It just feels... unnecessary, I guess?

When I saw the name Frank Miller, I had a reaction. I guess it is pretty easy to guess what kind.

I doubt giving Pelosi too much credit there as that is probably a factor. The weird thing about Pelosi is that she is probably one of the most adept players of the game in Congress at the moment, but neither side really doesn’t want to give her that credit. For Republicans, I assume it is she is one of the Democrats…
