Oh, but you misunderstand the psychology of Trumpism. Boycotting Starbucks and cutting into their bottom line would have been a very roundabout, unsatisfying way of humiliating liberals. It's much more gratifying to see them symbolically place themselves in a servile position relative to the great Donald Trump, even

Have you seen Man of Tai Chi? Directed by Keanu, and he also plays the villain (the star is his old Matrix stuntman, Tiger Chen). It's actually a very good martial arts flick that shows a surprising amount of film-making talent.

Outside of the great Mad Max: Fury Road, I think the first John Wick is probably the best pure action flick since Hard Boiled. That clean, fluid camerawork goes so perfectly with the excellent fight choreography. Like musicals, I think action movies have to be technically impressive first and foremost and can get away

Honestly, I thought the character was white when I first saw it as a teen.

Well, I did not know that, I assumed they were just moving the story to America. That does make it a little worse, but still.

I dunno, I could see it being pretty decent. I'll probably check it out if AV Club gives it a B- or above.

That's what I'm saying. The Departed was a remake of a Chinese movie, and nobody complained. I really don't get why it's such an affront for this one character to be a white American woman in the American remake.

Isn't this the weakest of all whitewashing controversies? I thought it was fairly common to change the nationalities of the characters in remakes of movies from other countries. I'll be the first to tell you that there aren't enough roles for Asian-American film stars, but this one specific character doesn't have to

Drug War is so, so good. More of a cops vs. drug dealers crime drama than an action movie for the most part, but it has a couple of shootouts that are just absolute showstoppers. Pretty sure Netflix still has it.

I haven't seen a few of these but this seems like a solid list.

I highly doubt it. First movie established that Wick is a badass, that's pretty much all you need to know.

So?

This is what Trump wants her to do.

Aerosmith is definitely the most overrated American band. Even their very best albums (probably Rocks and Toys in the Attic) are just above-average hard rock that doesn't bring anything new to the table. The vast majority of their music is just straight up bad.

Using a guide would pretty much break The Witness, since it's all about learning the puzzle language and understanding why a solution is correct. I am happy to give appropriate hints to steer you in right direction.

He also did the score for the game Fez, which is excellent as well. All three are pretty different and really well-suited to the media they're associated with, but they all still sound like the work of the same person.

Been waiting almost 20 years to see my Falcons back in the Superbowl. Win or lose, I'm just happy to see us back in the big game. I'm working on a big playlist of ATL rap to play before the game and during the commercials, for maximum hypeness.

The Falcons have a lot more depth and talent than many people realize. Julio Jones is the centerpiece, but Ryan has thrown TD passes to 13 different receivers this year. A lot of great players have deceptively thin stat lines just because the ball gets spread around so much (I'm thinking of Mohammed Sanu, Taylor

Earlier this week I decided to replay Hyper Light Drifter, and I think I enjoyed it more the second time around. Getting in sync with the rhythms of the combat is just so insanely pleasurable—it's thrilling to see how dominant you can be against big hordes of enemies when you find that perfect mix of patience and

Steam lets you get a refund if you haven't played the game for more than two hours, which I think should be enough to time to know if you want your money back.
