And in the “There Are No Coincidences” Department - “The Odessa File” is a novel by Frederick Forsyth centered on those very ratlines, and it was made into a movie starring, yes, Jon Voight.

The presidential election AND the sequel to the most creatively bankrupt, overrated movie of all time?

Finally, someone else said it.

There’s a looseness that reads like AI wrote this article: it is singularly unfocused and never meanders its way to anything resembling a point.

Oh, yeah. It’s like writing an article about Sir Alec Guinness’s excellent acting career, and just focusing on Star Wars and not mentioning The Bridge On The River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, his stuff with Ealing, or his highwater mark-performance: George Smiley, because that’s Boomer shit you haven’t heard of.

Hilariously ironic statement since they have relied on free labor to literally “run it” for the site’s entire existence, while profiting billions from them.

This hoax virus that doesn’t exist was started by China as a deadly attack on Americans and it’s a mild cold.

the comment section did kinda die then though. It used to be waaaay more active and fun

I mean, have you opened up a Gizmodo or AV Club article from 2012? None of those classic commenters are here anymore and a lowly article back then got 5x the number of total comments as in 2023.

Republicans are the American Taliban. These people are ruthless zealots and must be stopped.

“Hey NPC, can you tell me where to find the Sword of Radiant Light?”

Streaming is effectively recreating the world that existed before home video, where you’d come across some show or movie on TV and never be able to see it again. We’re going backwards. 

Oh my god, the y2K Aesthetic is finally having its day! We’re gonna sweep aside all that shitty 80s retrofuturism for a bright, clean, beautiful design language in a game I can’t wait to-

yea but it’s an extraction shooter so

That is one of my pet peeves.
