Honestly, I think any movie longer than two hours better be great. That's way too long to sit through something that's just decent.

Well, they tried to take away people's health care and failed through no fault of anyone else, so I'd say they're evil AND incompetent.

The biggest myth about Donald Trump is that he represents any kind of populist insurgency. He won with fewer votes than Mitt Romney lost with. His approval rating last I checked was I think 34%, which is probably pretty close to the theoretical floor for any president. By and large, the only people who like him are…

Never read the book, never saw the miniseries, trailer looks scary, I'm in.

The best Stephen King novels are the ones that effectively blur the line between supernatural wackiness and really down-to-earth human anxieties. By that metric, the extremely scary Pet Semetary is peak Stepehen King. It may not be your favorite Stephen King novel, but if you like it then you like Stephen King and if…

The funny thing is that Democrats don't own Obamacare anymore. The Republicans had a chance to replace it with something else and chose to stick with Obamacare. If it did "explode," it would be on the GOP's head now.

That's no muffin…

It was supposed to be some bullshit like he used excessive force by employing his advance combat skills or something.

It's kind of infuriating. They had SEVEN YEARS to get on the same page on this, during which time they shouted nonstop about how repealing Obamacare was the most urgent issue in domestic politics. What an insult to every person who bothered to take this issue seriously, for the Republicans to reveal that they are just…

I LOVE the Koroks, which is kind of weird because they are functionally the exact sort of mindless collectible that I usually hate in games. Their locations can be so obscure, but they're everywhere. I really like that it's not just a matter of finding an item lying around on the map; you always have to do a little…

They're more of a threat than before, but probably easier to kill too.

Haha, shield surfing is so fun. The grassy slope west of Kakariko Village is a nice spot, though I usually paraglide down that, and I think you can shred up Mt. Lanayru pretty good.

Oh man, Link's Awakening is such a low-key high point in the Zelda series. It really took advantage of its position as a "minor" Zelda (being on the Game Boy and all) to do some stuff that you wouldn't have seen in its more straightforward high-fantasy predecessors.

Some of the Hebra shrines are in caves on the sides of cliffs and shit like that. I was just there for the first time yesterday myself.

I still can't really imagine playing anything other than Breath of the Wild right now. With two Divine Beasts under control and three map areas still to unlock, this continues to be the game that keeps on giving, spinning out one thrilling little adventure after another. This Hyrule is one of gaming's all-time great…

Get a load of this dumbass.

Who plays Hotline Miami with a controller?

The trailer for this looked pretty shitty, but this review makes it sound entertaining enough. I'd have been okay with dialing back the star power a little bit, really famous actors tend to take me out of these kinds of movies.

Right now I'm reading Robert O. Paxton's The Anatomy of Fascism, which attempts to reach a working definition for fascism that applies equally to all of its various expressions. While I'm still early in the book, "anti-liberal" is one of the features that the author immediately settles on as a core part of fascist…
