Being able to watch the entirety of Demon Wind in an alien movie theater with the RedLetterMedia guys doing commentary for absolutely no reason in the middle of a shooter is almost worth full price, but absolutely worth a Gamepass sub.

Which is made worse because Ma and Pa Kent were really perfectly cast in that movie.

Betting the poster you replied to presumed this was about the original FF7.

Only technically maybe. The Superman = Jesus was jammed into that movie to the point where it became less subtext and more regular text.

I didn’t have too many bugs. I just through the story was bad. Some of the side missions and characters are absolutely great, but I always had the sense that the pacing and plot problems with the main story got off easy because to a huge swath of people the game was a buggy mess.

Yeah. I tend to agree with the sentiment it should be donated to a domestic violence shelter or something similar. She could theoretically even start her own fund to help victims of that. Those places are always looking for grants and donations and stuff. She doesn't have to and it's not something that should be held

I would say it’s probably almost entirely the writing. With few exceptions (such as a huge name miscast for the sake of funding or something), I don’t blame poor performances on actors. They work with what they’re given and if their performance is really just flat bad, they didn’t cast or direct themselves. 

Man dies and goes to the Pearly Gates. As he goes up to Saint Peter, he sees a man in a suit arguing to nothing. He asks Saint Peter, “Who’s that?”

Saint Peter replies, “That’s God. Sometimes he likes to pretend he’s Denny Crane.”

Clockwork Man is the most haunting of shanties

I feel like John Oliver kind of secured the ‘follow up Jon Stewart’s TDS’ title before Trevor Noah really even got his feet wet. That’s even especially true the last couple of years since Jon has his own show again. I feel like the shift to in-depth topic weekly shows is where the target demo for TDS has drifted.

Well, to be fair he didn’t do nothing at all for several years until after he walked away so that’s not the best indication. Still, I can’t imagine the work load was much of a surprise if he had paid any attention to Stewart’s tenure. His ability to manage it as easily as he expected could have been, though, and that

What white people, generally the ones who are quite white supremacists but tend to tolerate them more than others, hate more than anything is being reminded that they’re white. So even a nebulously racial (not even racist) name like cracker can make some of them uncomfortable.

A lot of the credit goes to Ben Folds, who organized the album and connected Shatner with musicians. There’s the Common People cover, which is great, but most of it is Shatner’s own poetry and writings that have been punched up. It’s shocking how truly good it is.

It was rated PG when it came out. They couldn't go full on butt.

Yeah. Me too. Shatner is arrogant and egotistical, and Takai did VA work for Like A Dragon which will always endear him to me, but I just can’t stay mad at Denny Crane.

Has Been? Because that’s legitimately a fantastic album.

That is a fair point. Sheridan might be trying to get messages into his show with the velveteen touch of a dandy fop, but if a large swath of his viewers just plain don’t understand anything beyond the most surface level the problem of it being a ‘red show’ is still fairly valid.

There’s also something to be said about the perception of it. Like Sheridan’s intent might indeed be to subvert or lace non-right wing commentary into the show, but the majority of people I know who really enjoy it are conservatives

I think it might be slightly different because Shephard died and was resurrected within 10 minutes. Like Shep’s death wasn’t at the end of ME1 as a cliffhanger for 2, so I don’t think it had the same kind of impact. I’m not saying it’s not a dumb idea, and I’m not advocating it. I’ve just come to accept the sillier
