I want to read a similar story for otakuworld.com, literally the very first anime/manga website I visited in 1999 and which is still going without any sort of update. The webmaster all but disowned it in their last post in 2014.

I meant the boyfriend line. Easily the only bit of entertainment that feels well crafted in the whole movie.
Her line in JURASSIC WORLD- you know the one - is the only thing that lands and works in that damn film.
Worked as a supermarket bagger/cashier at Publix, the herpes of Florida - it's everywhere. It taught me that the customer is a piece of shit and the few who do actually treat you like a human being despite wearing an apron are not worth putting up with the myriad assholes who frequent the supermarket daily.
I can't…
Story time: I bought an (obvioulsy bootleg) copy of FFVII from a classmate in Colombia back in 1999 in hopes of being able to play it in my home PC. Didn't work, go figure. I kep the copy with me when I came to the USA in 2001 and lent it to a classmate so he could play it. I remember him calling me to tell me the…
My choice is STREET FIGHTER II V, an anime series that premiered that year and even SF diehards have done their best to forget entirely. Not without reason: it packs as much filler as humanly possible - and sometimes even beyond that - in a paltry 29 episodes and it doesn't give a shit about its characters. But it…
For my current job I've had to do shit I would only wish upon people I *really* do not like. And yet I'd go back and do them all over again before ever putting a motherfucking supermarket bagger apron on and pack one more bag of fucking groceries in my Goddamn life.
I'd tell people not to waste their time with those…
Mine would be basically anytime I fought a boss in DONKEY KONG COUNTRY 2. That boss music kicks ass. I would've put the first encounter with Smithy in SUPER MARIO RPG as it also came out in 1995 and I consider that the best boss tune in any video game ever, period, but I didn't reach him that year, so…
Same with my factory-sealed copy of STREET FIGHTER II V. No one gives a shit about that show but hey, OOP and still sealed! It'll pay my kid's college tuition by itself, right? Right?
I *solved* it. And I watched it that way after seeing it the "normal" way twice. I still like the film, weird memory loss rules and all.
The hand dropping the gun looks especially weird and fake when seeing it that way.
My first DVD - I swear I shit you not - was THE DENTIST with Corbin Bernsen. Why? I liked the cover. As I wanted to see it in my new PS2 back in 2001 - which I still own and believe it still works. To the movie's credit, it effectively but only intermittently taps on that innate fear we all have of our dentist fucking…
Ah, 1995. This year left a mark on me, but not of the pop-culture persuasion.
I was 9, became 10 on November. After school I'd stay with an older lady where I'd have lunch and do my homework until my parents arrived - we all lived in the same apartment complex. I'd been doing that for at least two years, and it ended…
I have an on-off relationship with Edwin Collins' "A Girl Like You" - what can be reasonably assumed as this film's soundtrack's flagship song. I liked it a lot when I first saw the video in an Argentinian music video channel circa '98-'99, to the point I memorized the rotation so I'd know when that video and others…
Also, ELEMENTARY just went full-hog and made Sherlock having had sex with Moriarty canon. I have to respect that even if I never saw any other episode.
Magnussen is an incredibly rare beast writing-wise: a character whose idea (he knows so much he scares Mycroft!) is stupider than its execution. I cannot remember his name, but the actor totally sells that dude as a know-it-all dickwad who can effectively out-creep and piss off anyone in the room. If the reason why he…
Said it before, will say it again: I don't mind Marvel pulling a Mandarin in their new Spider-Man flick. They've shown they like to toy around with expectations. Bonus points if Andrew Garfield is involved.
The weirdest detail to me - and that saying something in the case of ASM2 - is that Oscorp has an actual, honest-to-God crematorium in its headquarters. I have to think that this universe's Apple and Microsoft HQ's have their own, too.
I don't watch many cable comedies - or any at all, really. Has any of them pulled as ambitious and thoroughly painful episode as Scott's Tots? The blurb here nails how it represents Michael's insecurity and shortsightedness as being able to hurt the unsuspecting, and it only aggravates things to think we're still…
The more I think about it, the more it seems that the big difference between McManus and Michael Scott is that no one got murdered at Dunder-Mifflin every week - and that the latter actually ran a functional workplace.
SPOILERS FOR THE FIRST EPISODE OF OZ
