Speak for yourself. I find him to be a loveable old rude bastard, and I would miss his ridiculousness very much. The world needs clowns, and he doesn’t take himself as seriously as you think he does.

James May’s latest India series of Our Man In... was really something. (It never felt condescending; rather, while acknowledging the challenge of approaching India as a foreigner, he showed me things about my country that I never knew about.)

i mean this definitely speaks to a management/scope creep problem at netflix, but yeah, throughout the history of making movies this has been a thing that has happened.

All these years later most of those “eviscerees” are still ensconced in their positions of power

I thought Jon was actually pretty modest about his show’s impact considering how much praise he got from others.

You can make a list of “woke” movies that includes everything and nothing.

Was “Chinatown” woke? It showed compassion for victims of incest. Was “Taken” woke? It took a pretty hard line against child trafficking. Was “First Blood” woke? It took PTSD among vets seriously. You can take a meaningless term and apply it…

You guessed it: Frank Stallone

This whole confession was bizarrely inspired by Eccleston praising intimacy coordinators.

I think it’s surprising that Eccleston said this, mostly because he probably bought himself a bunch of trouble. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that “whole confession was bizarrely inspired by Eccleston praising intimacy coordinators.”

Give the guy a break, woke kidnapped his kids, burnt down his house and killed his dog.  Guy’s got post traumatic woke disorder.

Not unexpected. The Harry Potter franchise is massive, and the majority of normal people aren’t terminally-online and have no idea of, nor do they care about, the opinions of the original author.

Is it so hard to believe gamers at large don’t care about JKR? Or whatever she’s up to/or doing? It’s pretty obvious why it did well, so sticking your head in the sand while claiming it whiffed with critics is a weird flex.

I love how this “news” article is totally full of opinions. Rather enjoyed the Harry Potter game and quite a few of my friends also did. Can’t wait for the sequel to come out so it can totally burn people again when it sells like crazy.

Re-reading Kotaku’s review of the game- outlining how terrible it supposedly is, and the long debates around it in the comments section is hilarious in light of the fact that the game is actually well liked and apparently a lot of fun- is pretty hilarious these days. Kotaku’s obsession with messaging over actually…

And sites like Kotaku helped immensely to boost those HL sales. You know that, right?

I rather enjoyed it, the coverage of it was a nightmare but the actual game’s pretty good they nailed the look and setting of being a Wizard in Hogwarts.  I’d certainly play it over any COD game.  Microsoft should make COD FTP and sell battle passes and skins, clearly they don’t give a crap about making a good…

It was a damn good game and had one of the most amazing player “housing” systems (via the Room of Requirement) in any modern game- it’s kinda sad that it was in a single player game.

Most critics who reviewed the game in good faith gave it a decent score. We get it you wanted the game to fail

I really liked it, it was fun and very pretty, and it was clearly made with love for the source material and franchise. As someone that grew up with the books, and then the movies as they came out, it was a fun open-world romp for about 40-50 hours, I got my money’s worth. 

It may not have been VERY good, but it was PRETTY good, controversy aside.
