Then I’m really lost. Why would Michael Bay care if his movies were “cheapened”? They’re making literal billions of dollars, which was his goal all along.

Ha, she was bigger than he thought she’d be. Now that’s comedy!

Doesn’t it cheapen movies to make them such ephemeral thrill rides?

Grumpy Affleck Batman will never not be funny to me

I’ve heard so many good things about the Culture novels over the years, so in 2013 I figured I’d pick up Consider Phlebas. I forced myself to finish it just a month ago, and I found it to be one of the most horribly tiring books I’ve ever read.

Eeeh, I’m not sure I agree with that. The tie-ins kept going for years after the movies.

Some movies are great and you remember them for the rest of your life, others are just sparkly entertainment that are forgotten in weeks. I don’t think there’s anything depressing about that at all, it’s just life.

From what I read he sounds pretty ambivalent about it

They did make that TV show. And the video games. And the theme park ride. And the comics.

I kept expecting a Katamari to roll through the kitchen

I completely agree that it was blown out of proportion, it seems clear now and then that he’s not a bad person and probably didn’t see the shirt as anything but a nice thing his friend made him. Cutting off his testicles or being abusive was completely out of line (though one or two “this isn’t appropriate Taylor”

Gotta be honest with you, I saw a ton of articles and tweets talking about all the mega abuse Matt Taylor suffered over his shirt, but I only ever saw... maybe two or three of the same tumblr and twitter posts being circulated that were actually abusive. The only anti-shirt articles I could find were far from abusive

No, I’m not saying they are in Case 1, I’m saying each of the three dragons in Case 2, start off with the assumption that the other two dragons are playing out Case 1. When another day has passed, that assumption is proven wrong, and they each know that each dragon sees two green-eyed dragons. Which means they all

Yes! Yes, so absolutely yes. Like, I love the first Matrix movie, it’s a great thing, but I have such a hard time figuring out what it was that it had that the others didn’t, to the extent that people refuse to even acknowledge them. Like... the story is not particularly clever, it’s got a ton of plot holes and

Everything should have a trigger warning then

There’s a Steam sale right now actually, 50% off

Cyberpunk is a genre where I allow myself to unironically love everything, regardless of quality

Hey, Johnny Mnemonic was a modern masterpiece

There’s a difference between “I don’t know how this works” and “This contradicts everything we know and thought was true”. There wasn’t anything resembling a consensus in medicine in the 15th century, let alone a rigorous theory that even could preclude antibiotics. If it worked, it worked, and that was pretty much
