Well said!

It sounds like a great opportunity for people who like movies they don’t really enjoy but that make them feel smart. 

That’s a really good point.

The late 20th century Hemingway industrial complex (at one point there was a furniture line, presumably authorized by his estate) was super annoying. But his work is important, and I am in the camp of those who prefer him to Fitzgerald. I do think people get dizzy in his testosterone fog and overlook how much of an…

I liked several of Kingsolver’s novels back when, but I’m not sure they would stand up to rereading ... and Animal Vegetable Miracle was utterly obnoxious, a book-length brag.

Came here to ponder the same question.  It’s a clever idea, for sure.  I don’t know enough about games to evaluate the execution.

He went through some wilderness years casting-wise, for sure, after the original trilogy was over. I’m sure there’s some back story there, but it seems like this is a better time to be a performer in general. There…

Also, there’s something about creating a physical space mimicking snowy northern climes in Southern California (or Florida in the case of Harry Potter World or whatever it’s called) that has always seemed weird to me.
