the flipside of that process playing out behind the scenes of rogue one, a movie i enjoy a great deal, is if you stare at it even just slightly too hard, it is obviously a collage of 2 or more other movies that have been cut up and pasted together. it is probably my favorite example of both the ups and downs of last…

My first question after seeing words like “striking” “visually arresting” or “authentically, really beautiful” is to ask “Who is the cinematographer?”

I’m a casual AC fan, but AC 2 was so, so good. 

You guys are still dying on this Cruise hill, huh? Of all the shitty things actors have done generally, and Cruise has done in particular, you’ve decided that shitting on him for being too aggro about people breaking COVID protocols is the last straw, huh? Yeah, that makes a ton of fucking sense.

Exactly, at this point treating people like adults has not worked, so yelling it is. If that’s the worst thing they have going for them, being yelled at for acting like fuckwits, they should consider themselves damn lucky.

I believe it’s less a spider-verse thing and more a multiverse thing that is going to run through the entire MCU for a while. Dr. Strange’s movie is apparently ALL about the multiverse, and the rumored big bad is Kang, so multiverse/time travel stuff is probably going to be in every movie for the next few years. It…

If introduced in today’s atmosphere, They Might Be Giants may have been a minor Youtube phenomenon, and Bjork would have been a one-off at best. That is where a label can market something that would seem unmarketable by algorithm and a good A&R person can find the human element in the music that no algorithm can touch.

Weird. You’d think a spider-themed game would have hundreds of Easter eggs.

I’m not a giant fan of his by any means, but Alec Baldwin is, and shall always be, my Jack Ryan.

I’ve been laughing out loud just thinking about parts of this all day. Like the part where he refers to Donald Trump’s use of “kung flu”, remarking “you hilarious racist son of a bitch, that’s something I’m supposed to say!”, I think is one of his best jokes ever. The absurdity of a sitting president taking such an…

The Red War shall never be forgotten. Those that died will not have died in vain.

Whoa, I didn’t even think about doing that. I got the Division 2 on sale with the expansion a few months back and puttered out after eight hours of slogging through the lower-level stuff. I guess I’ve been conditioned by playing games my whole life to do it in order, but...that doesn’t matter in a game where I…

For GaaS titles? Absolutely. The level bump stuff helps a ton and “skips” that whole leveling phase.

This is the best reporting I've seen on this site in some time, and before I even looked I knew it was Beth. This was so good and at the same time made me so mad that it made me go 15 minutes over on my half hour break at work. Kudos! Interesting damned piece.

Are you my doppelganger? Am I your doppelganger? You took the words right out of my mouth.

“Why” it looks like that (beyond the fact that it is like that) is the lighting.  Look at how the light is reflecting off her and Hathaway.  Spencer is being lit from her bottom right, while Hathaway is being lit from directly above.  It’s a classic photoshopping mistake.  Note that this is true of a lot of the people…

I remember Youtube TV being $35 a month when it launched. Now that I think of it, they were probably just lowballing their competitors to grow their user base.

I had Hulu Live TV and hated it. I couldn’t navigate in the interface and hated that it added shows with commericals to the on-demand lineups.

I did YouTube TV for about 6 months until they raised the price and “gave” me channels no one in my house will ever watch.

Did no live TV for 3 months, and just signed up for Hulu TV Live for the football season. May do that forever...just sign up for football season.

My kids never watch live TV
