What's even more impressive is that it was actually a modified Quake ONE engine.

It's an interesting post with some good points, but I'm not sure it needed quite as much in the way ad hominon attacks, generalisations and baseless assumptions. "your ignorance, apathy, and contempt for our experiences", "your irritation that our stories even exist" , and "I predict that that same fragility will…

However fair or unfair the review is, gender specific reviews seem like a pretty terrible precendent to set. Can female critics not review Stand By Me or Kings of Summer? Is it just for coming of age films, or should it apply to all female centric films?

The DC TV and movie are separate continuity.

3 in fact. The below implies he was a fresh faced newbie, but in fact he'd done Doom Patrol, Animal Man, Zenith, Arkham Asylum and more by that stage.

The amazing thing is that he had Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Frank Miller, Dave Sim, and Grant Morrison write issues and it was still terrible. It's like it was somehow immune to talent.

That's a big "only". Channel 4s top watched shows tend to peak at a bit over 2 million. Their highest ever rating drama was Humans with a bit over 4. By comparison the bake-off was doing over 10 million an ep and close to 15 for finale when catch-up was added.

Yeah, there's an amazing sense of jeopardy and menace to the unstoppable bad guy. It's almost impossible to achieve in comics, because there are literally dozens of books doing that every year and you become immune to it.

I must revisit it, as I've only read issues here and there. Some of it was great, but it had two mental blocks for me:
1 - A lot of the art is shite
2 - I really can't stand the faux-retro thing. As much as I love Alan Moore, the pretend "gee willickers" thing just irritates me when anyone does it (though the…

It's strange. 80's Alan Moore is probably my favourite comics writer ever (with Ennis a close second) but I've admired pretty much everything from 1990 onward I can't say I enjoyed any of it. From Hell, his ABC books and basically eveything he's written for 25 years has me nodding approvingly but nothing packs the…

Isn't that kinda the point though? Loads of horrible things happen in Star Wars, but they don't feel super dark because the general tone is light, fast paced and optimistic. Wiping out billions of people on Alderaan is horrendous, but the film barely mentions it after the scene where it happens. The guys who are…

While I get your point, good writing and directing can establish a lot in a very short period, especially when the characters are already in the public consciousness. Look what Civil War did with Spidey in basically 2 scenes. Or even Black Panther, who most people knew shit about until that movie.

Shrug. They gotta play to a broad audience to fund the other stuff on the site . If they get a few clicks that funds the articles I really enjoy on the site, then why not? It's not like the title isn't pretty clear about what the article is.

At the risk of becoming a InDefenseOfCameronCrowe gimmick account, I think that's unfair. Cuba Gooding Jnr learns over the course of the film that it's not about showboating or money, it's about the love of the game. Thus he succeeds and earns a shit ton of money. It may be trite, but it's perfectly in keeping with…

If Noddy Holder is earning the guts of a million dollars a year from 'Merry Christmas Everybody'*, I'd imagine a song on constant rotation like American Pie would keep you very comfortable indeed.

Hey, 20th Century America was perfect. It's the 21st century, Millennials and pyjama people* that ruined everything. - Sorkin

Jack Thorne can be brilliant. His work on This is England is some of the best British drama ever made.

"most of it is egregiously awful." - That's true of most pop culture. The good stuff is still great. And to be honest, a large part of the appeal is the comfort. I read creator owned stuff too, but a lot of those comics have complex worlds and i have to remember who's reporting to who about what. As brilliant as…

I'd have an easier time buying the "don't trust stuffy critics" narrative, had critics not just loved the very juvenile and comic book (but immensely fun) Deadpool.

I understand the pain (or I'd like to think I do) but I think the vitriol is counter productive. The actor was leaving and the show kills off people all the tim. There are two reactions to this that I'd imagine a lot of writers will have.
