As pointed by the other comments, the Hathaway hate at its peak was just baffling. Not just the intensity of it, but because not only was almost no one able to really explain why, but a lot of it was coming from the so called ‘progressive’ sides who also complained about all the troll hatred towards minorities online.…

I think that is a really smart decision and also allows to really tell that story of the city underworld changing into something quite else. Really looking forward to the show.

There are a lot of elements that movie could be nominated for. It will be a bummer when it doesn’t.

Except this is wildly oversimplifying Tolkien and his worldview. That’s not to defend the man, he did admit voting for the Tories and was a supporter of the constitutional monarchy, but not in any way more than others of his era and in general in his interviews he doesn’t seem wistful to the good old days. Actually…

I have to admit that at the moment I audibly groan whenever I read something that quotes Alan Moore as having insight into everything. I mean, for here example, there are certain valid points in his argument, but at the same time it’s hugely superficial, it ignores a lot of stuff that establishes as a larger narrative…

Fun fact: the Nazi regime were huge fans of Hollywood films of the era because they thought those films were better fascism propaganda than anything produced by German filmmakers.

Overall I enjoyed the episode. I think they are still establishing their new energy after so many key pieces leaving, but I’m digging the direction.

Like when I hit that part I had a similar reaction. Not even because of McKay, but just what the hell do you do after the brilliance that was The Dropout? As much as I like Lawrence, it will be compared ot Seyfried and it feels nearly impossible to even come close to that.

Yeah, I completely agree that the show is a really weird tonal mess, but I also felt this was the first time, perhaps with the exception of that last scene, where it kind of worked. Partially I think because everything in that retreat was so delightfully absurd that Jen having that moment worked for me. Especially…

Dude/tte, Netflix released the 365 Days films. Like the argument that Netflix releases films that only match some Far Left agenda is preposterous as they put out films they think will maintain their membership.

It’s actually been a delight to see over the past years DA2 actually being praised a lot. Also the scope thing is an interesting point as, and I’ve made this claim several times on this site, I’d argue the reception to DA2 was far more influential than I thought at the time as you could see the aftermath of it play…

Always here to high five my fellow DA2 fans.

Man, I would write that this game publication is nearing like something out of a satire, but I’d almost claim it had already reached that point.

While games are subjective experiences, I really struggle with this claim. Not just because Odyssey doesn’t have a clear questline as it splinters the storyline into different paths that don’t interact which results the game actually having three different endings. It is by design an extremely scattered storyline that…

Man, that burn on Alexios there is so deep that it made me flinch. Almost enough to make me feel bad for him before I remembered that voice acting. On a more serious note, it’s funny because I agree that Kassandra is one of the more memorable main characters in AC games, but I don’t know if she’s a good character.…

While hitting the AC3 part of the list and read the worst part, I started thinking back on it and how that was true before that final mission memory hit me like a truck. There aren’t many games that make me want to quit during the final mission after spending so much time on it, but damn did AC3 give a genuine try.

I can’t stop laughing that Mark Vicente, a person whose actions the first season spent an insane amount of effort whitewashing, is wondering out loud if Salzman is for real or just trying to save herself. Like that is a staggering lack of self-awareness there dude.

Those final moments of the episode were weirdly disjointed. Kind of going through it my head, Nikki leaving that voicemail message was odd from a storybeat point of view as it wasn’t a specific threat against Jen nor was it somehow that if Jen had heard it instantly it would have affected anything. So it felt…

I can’t stop laughing when imagining that internal discussion Levine would have had before sending a message like that.

I’m really confused now. So TIFF dropped the film, that’s what happened, because of the legal situation. Also did I miss something or did Drew find a distributor for her film that is willing to take on that legal gamble? As that seems like it should be really simple since Drew’s case is so strong according to your…
