“For the last time, we are not going to greenlight that Kitt Fisto origin story, please stop asking!”

*Jek Porkins goes up to Imperial immigration*

“Oh, that’s the trapped consciousness of a droid whose entire motivating belief was that droids should be free beings rather than property. That strange dialect is probably her unending screams of torment as she contemplates her living hell.”

I guess it can sound pretty foreign, even if they’re speaking clearly. I must admit, sometimes I have trouble with some Southern American accents if I’m not familiar with them, and I’m Canadian.

There’s a brief moment in The Empire Strikes Back where C-3PO complains to Han that the Millennium Falcon “has the most peculiar dialect.” Solo decides to explain that by having L3-37's consciousness uploaded into the Falcon’s computer, which is admittedly fairly clever, but also has a whole lot of unfortunate…

Solo was the first ten minutes of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade blown up to two hours, but instead of seeing him get his whip and hat, the scar on his chin, and saying ‘it belongs in a museum’ in one little adventure, we saw him meet Chewie and Lando, do the Kessel Run, win the Falcon, and do the whole ‘Han shot…

I liked this comment and opinion and want more like it from AVClub

What’s your pick for first?

I enjoyed Tenet, but don’t really understand this take. The thing that made the movie work for me was not the humor (every Nolan movie contains humor, often the absurd and/or morbid kind, which appeals to me). And I was a bit irritated about how convoluted and far-fetched the “science” in the movie is (it makes Star…

Little surprised there’s no AV Club article regarding John Oliver’s offer of one million dollars a year (and a state-of-the-art tour bus) to Clarence Thomas if he’ll just “get the fuck off the Supreme Court now”.

THEY “EXPLAIN” WHY HIS LAST NAME IS SOLO. FOR FUCK’S SAKE. LITERALLY NO ONE WAS SITTING AROUND WONDERING WHY HAN’S LAST NAME IS THE SAME AS A WORD MEANING “ALONE.” IT WAS JUST A COOL SPACE NAME. JESUS. GAH.

On the whole I enjoyed Solo, but its insistence on explaining so much of Han’s backstory that didn’t need to be explained grated on me, with its insistence that no, he really did do the Kessel Run in under (not “order”, oy) 12 parsecs being only the third most annoying backstory patch job. But I will admit that I…

It certainly can be. Isn’t that why people take drugs?

I don’t know about the other comments, but I’m glad to have read this article.  I haven’t seen Tenet yet, but it’s now higher on my list of “want to watch”.

The ultimate rebuttal to “he’s a no-fun filmmaker” is “who the fuck told you all filmmakers need to make fun movies?”

They still compete for your money and gametime. Even if they don’t share the same games, most people I know that own one have it as a secondary console. I think the general sentiment is that, Nintendo could absolutely crush the competition this year if a new console was flying solo.

Fallow, maybe, but when there are so many great games that are still relatively new (within a year-ish of release) it’s not like people are going to be starved for games. I have a backlog going back years and it would be nice to actually have some breathing room hahaha.

I’m okay with this. I got my Switch at midnight on launch and it’s *still* going strong. I still have a buttload of games on it that I have yet to play, and there’s still quite a few I want to buy. I’ve put literally thousands of hours into this machine, it’s insane. I went from almost completely giving up on Nintendo…

Explains why they’ve held off on announcing anything

Considering that the PS5 is going to be pretty dormant for the year and Microsoft’s gaming future is opaque at best, this was Nintendo’s huge chance to snipe a lot of customers and have a ton of attention for a year. Oops. 2024 is going to be a really fallow gaming year.
