That’s beautiful. When a child can have that moment and live to see it happen, that is a great thing.

It’s good, Damn near great, but that might be the bar being so low now that Top Gun: Maverick was a revelation (it legit was).

I’m more interested to know if any of the big franchises will learn anything from it, like:

From what I vaguely recall, everyone involved in that movie wanted and expected a sequel. I’m not sure what happened, but I blame myself because no movie I ever saw in a theater and said “I hope that gets a sequel!” has ever gotten a sequel.

I haven’t clicked through your link, but your stated premise involving “unspeakable violence” is, at best, exagerrated nonsense. We’re talking about punching people who want to violently eliminate entire cultures. We’re not talking about rounding up nazis, stealing their land, burning their houses, and salting the…

Neigh!

Sadly, I think we all can agree they would never allow a strange spiritual/mystical Star Wars movie, and thus all predictions can safely spring from the more formulaic and predictable. Nobody is going to give a Star Wars movie to Darren Aronofsky.

Right! It’s as if they chickened out on what they really wanted (or needed) to do to represent the moment: showing Shepard grasping for air, hands like claws. But that would’ve... what? Made people uncomfortable? With your DEATH SCULPTURE!?

Companies are so weird. 

BAO wasn’t capeing for anti-vaxxers. They were just stating the plain fact that, yes, “things happen”, and that still doesn’t validate antivax rhetoric. Reign it in a little.

The more you specifically pin things like this down, the more of a corner you paint yourself into. Midichlorians weren’t enough?

I’m not making a judgement on whether such a movie will be good or bad (my instincts tell me: disappointingly mediocre, but whatever), but how it will effect the stories other people tell in…

Both, for the collective franchise, but I think he’s directly responsible in the case of the first Superman movie. He worked on the script himself. Which makes sense, since that’s the core of the entire endeavor.

And yeah, he takes unpopular characters and does his thing, which is okay I guess. I’m not a fan of many of…

Seriously. I just want to play the most complete version of a game, and Atlus makes it an anxiety crisis of choices.

I never finished FES back when I bought it on PS2, and Royal came out literally the day after I got P5 for free. This company really makes it hard being a fan (since the original Persona, no less) of…

This is my guess, and it seems like a bad move. The Elite storyline was making a point, and I see how he may want to use it as a direct counter to what’s gone before in cinematic Superman. But why not just... tell a really good Superman story? The point will still be made without the blunt agitation of certain…

Nope. This sounds like a waste of The Authority. Gunn is pretty good at taking comic characters and stripping them of what makes them great characters for the sake of whatever story he’s telling. I’m not making a value judgement: sometimes it works, or at the least it results in something that mass audiences like.…

My position is to not make Keke Palmer, as a person whose intent I don’t know, the focus of my criticism, but to use her comment as an opportunity for further discussion of an important aspect of Black culture.  So I did.

On the one hand: it’s just a joke about a sitcom character that WAS kind of irritatingly poised sometimes. No reason to attack Keke Palmer for a joke ,pst ‘80s kids cracked.

On the other hand, it’s a good opportunity to make the point: Black folks have it bad policing other Black folks for how they talk and carry…

Why would they? As far as they can tell, they’re winning. They stay winning. Their families are on the same page as them. Everyone they work with is on the same page as them. Half the country is on the same page or complicit.

Ah. Florida. Much is suddenly illuminated. Packed full of people who believe if they’ve never heard of it, it doesn’t exist, it shouldn’t exist, and you’re a filthy heathen for mentioning it. Great place to need medical treatment!

As an elder of the legendary Unsung Story failed Kickstarter, that’s a little too close to the bone, there.

Yeah, it’s the AGGRESSIVENESS of these AI moves that has me wondering about our value as a species. I mean, okay it’s coming along, but AI still REALLY sucks at most things it tries to do. Why are these companies and orgs so hell bent on using a faulty and (currently) frankly embarassing tool?

It’s more insidious for…

I had to find out who wrote that issue, and was surprised to find out it wasn’t perpetual hacks Scott Lobdell or Fabien Nicieza. But what I did find was this hilarous review of the issue:
