I highly doubt that the kerfuffle over what Rebel Wilson said on Ellen three months ago will actually impact this movie’s box office.

This is a sad comedown for the genre. I remember when brain damage was a solution for Harrison Ford’s ethical and moral failings, not to mention bad parenting and worse lawyering, instead of just self-esteem problems.

“It’s a bold move, aiming a movie at an audience that generally only consumes this type of entertainment hungover and in sweatpants.”

Nah, but see, he SAYS it’s not unwelcome to LGBT people despite the church saying “LGBT can’t be spiritual leaders”. Surely there’s nothing more welcoming than “you can’t be a good Christian leader because of what God made you.” Can’t you just feel God’s love radiating from that homophobia? Ahhhhh, relaxing.

So I’m not shocked at all that the response doesn’t include any real denial of Page’s criticism.

Artemis had a protagonist who was smart, driven, and really good at space. I know because the book told me so, many, many times.

As a fast-talking and slightly obnoxious video game critic once said: Gaming may be toying with gravel on the side of the road of life, but at least there’s violence and tits.

sex is pretty cool

In less than a decade people will no longer eat a cheeseburger? The older i have gotten the more I realize that a decade is a very short amount of time. I will admit that things can change radically in a decade (the pre-smart phone/pre-social media decade would have had a hard time predicting today’s culture) but to…

I cannot and will never agree with this. It’s just another kind of gatekeeping. Folks can play what they want. Speedrunners ain’t hurting anyone by using glitches. Pulling off a glitch is just as much (sometime more!) a “real-time demonstration of skill” as anything else.

I hear this one on nearly every speedrunning post I do and my response is always that these tricks take tons of practice to perform and these runners are infinite more knowledge about the games they run than you or me will ever be in pretty much anything.

Pizza and blow jobs!

I really wish it inserted some non-existent stereotypes, like an obsession with purple carrots and thinking about toe nail clippings. Typical man things.

“it’s just a joke, relax” - signed everyone who is not a straight white man and had to endure this type of shit characterization for decades everywhere

Yeah, reading this review, it felt like this was one of the few times when I actually thought that should I be offended by this as a man. It is always a weird hesitation.

I wonder if some movies are made purely with the intent to be watched in the economy section of a United flight.

One of my favorite things as a kid was “snow ice cream.” Bowl of fresh snow, couple tablespoons of cream (or half and half in a pinch), sugar and vanilla to taste, then give it a quick stir and you’re got one hell of a treat. It doesn’t snow where I live now, but if I’m home visiting my parents and the snow is falling…

I’m (ostensibly) a human adult, and I still think fresh snow with a drizzle of Ikea’s Lingonberry syrup is one of the most genuinely delightful and refreshing winter treats on the face of the Earth.

You know, at first I found your shtick annoying, but now, after being exposed to it several times, I still do.
