I fucking made it, didn't I.

Costner's accent appears and disappears as often here as it does in the Robin Hood movie. Dylan Baker is fantastic though. He really sells the transition as McNamara becomes increasingly incredulous with how stupid and macho all of the military brass are.

When they outed him, Peter Thiel was in the process of funding the Prop 8 movement to eliminate same sex marriage in California. Fuck him.

Wouldn't that be "You'll never see them coming?"

Surprised not to see much, if any, John Hughes stuff on here. Isn't the average AV Club commenter a bored 30-something like me?

Have you seen V/H/S 2? The segment made by Gareth Evans is sort of in that vein.

I was just about to post that. I can't even listen to the S&C version, it's so inferior.

I'm guessing Michael Collins and The Crying Game, for the Irish tie-ins.

It's Birmingham (mostly), not London.

Not necessarily. They have to pass Moat Cailin, but there are ways to avoid the Twins.

Takes big stones to think it's ok to sing in a car when Audra McDonald is also in that car.

Black Sea is awesome.

You should get out more.

Not real world measurements and scales, the scales of the movies themselves. I admit it's a bit absurd, but even sci-fi and fantasy movies should follow the internal rules of their own world, maybe especially those movies.

I don't really get the scale on this. Godzilla was like, 500 feet tall in the Gareth Edwards movie right? Isn't Kong at most a quarter of that size? Don't see there being much of a fight. Probably a BvS situation where they spar for a minute and then work together against the real villain?

I just recently picked up a PS4 after a good decade of no gaming. It had the Uncharted bundle and a friend recommended TLoU. I really enjoyed TLofU and moderately enjoyed the Uncharted games. What are some other games to try?

Exact same experience for me. But after playing The Last of Us, I decided to give it another shot. I skipped the 1st one and just started playing Uncharted 2, which ended up being a lot of fun. Raced through the 3rd one, and then decided to just go back and finish the 1st, which was still a bit of a chore.

My one complaint with TLoU is that I wish it incorporated a bit of the choice based storytelling of something like Knights of the Old Republic. It would have been way more itneresting to me if you had to choose whether to let the operation happen or not at the hospital at the end.

Also, the use of really close-up shots was manipulative in the way that poorly made horror movies usually are. Let me guess, we have tight close-up on someone's face, is it possible that when they look in the other direction there will be someone scary there? The worst was when Jasper stumbles into the room bloody.
