the framing of this as “either you’re for marvel movies or you’re against them” sums up my exhaustion with the phenomenon

“ ‘Tell me about why should I do your movie.’” This apparently did not go over well in the room. “They were like, ‘Fuck you,’ And I was like, ‘Right on.’”

Remedy making a major budget game (published by EPIC of all publishers) that has this level of personal reflection and satire and sheer boldness is what makes them a developer to be protected at all costs.

I completely get what you mean, and yet, God, I want Remedy to keep making shit like this. I crave their weird, maximalist approach to game. Their aesthetic sense jibes so well with my own that when I’m playing their games, I feel at home. 

I suppose the more nuanced view is the potential funneling of tax dollars to specifically bolster corporate profits without any benefit to those who pay for our public commons. In those cases, it’s a wealth redistribution upwards. It may or may not apply here - depending on the long term benefit to residents in…

I agree that it’s a necessity for structural safety and traffic flow, but I think the main complaint is why did they do it weeks before the race? There’s going to be a lot of tourists flowing through there with no knowledge of the upcoming F1 race. They want their pictures of the strip and are going to be disappointed…

Fine, then F1 should pay for all that time & materials spent by the police doing something to mitigate a danger the presence of the race created. The overtime, the film, all of it should come out of the deep luscious pockets of F1.
Wait, do Saudi royal robes even have pockets?

It’s cheaper overall, b/c like SpaceX’s operations, taxpayers already footed the millions of dollars for the infrastructure & resources that were in place when the for-profit enterprise got involved. No taxpayer’s getting paid back for the amount of profit made off their contribution, so that’s all gravy to F1, more…

Street tracks are the future?? And cheaper than purpose-built tracks?? In what world?

It’s also an example of how you can make a successful movie with a flamboyantly gay couple at the center - quality story, writing and acting. Who knew? And that was selling to audiences more than 25 years ago.  Meanwhile this year you get the director of Bros complaining no one went to see it because they’re all…

Yes, everyone rightly thinks of the big performances of Williams and Lane in The Birdcage, but Hackman’s utter perfection as the straight man is what makes the movie, giving all of the lunacy something to play against. His confident obliviousness which eventually gives way to bewilderment as everything unfolds is just…

Because it being unblocked does not prohibit the actual event from taking place. It’s also a public thoroughfare, so you can’t just take that away from the people. I totally get it if one of the hotels owned it and they wanted to limit access, or sell it, but this is a public bridge. This is basically government doing…

All I see is you HAVE to be out of your effing mind, a true glutton for punishment, to be in Vegas for this fustercluck.

And Let the Right One Is is a masterpiece. The remake is ok but completely unnecessary.

I think the problem Let Me In had is that we all saw Let the Right One In a mere two years earlier.

Konami has lost the juice, they aren’t good at doing things anymore.

Even after moving away from actively developing their own games, they are still unable to manage the brands they own without disappointing everyone.

Missing projections by 45% is not the same as revenue being down 45%.

This year has just made my backlog so much worse.

This timeline is cursed.
