Good thing he’s not overprotective or overdefensive about his own work like... I don’t know... Bioware for example. Different thing but... okay, I just felt like slamming Bioware, actually!

The reason I don’t think this movie works is because Joy and Sadness is absent for very arbitrary reasons. In an appropriate representation it could’ve shown anger or fear be against Joy or Sadness and locking them away making Riley unable to feel either emotion and become depressed. Instead she loses her ability to…

I get where you’re coming from with this being a cartoonish depiction and a rather banal representation of reality. However, when a movie decides to create a story based on human’s emotions being characterized and by showing the causality between what goes on with those characters inside a person’s head and their…

It can indeed, but perhaps if movies weren’t generally so mediocre nowadays hype would pay off. The reason why there is hype is because we remember the greatness from the past movies we’ve seen and want to reexperience that again. If it had been done before, let alone in 1976, why can’t someone recreate that quality…

It was a rather disappointing movie to be completely honest. The causality is off and the Pixar-trademark of taking inanimate things and animate them didn’t work well this time because you’re automatically opening up deeper questions when you start to make characters out of emotions and it begs for dissection. In the…

I always get the impression J. J. is more concerned with looking good on camera than making his movies :P

Yes, really because the prequel hate is totally blown out of proportion and nobody respects him for even coming up with everything about the very first Star Wars movie. But this is typical in either fandom. People never give a shit about who made it. When someone new takes over and does *something* better they’ll…

Tch... in a movie that REQUIRES you to have a love and nostalgia for the original 3 movies first. Everything is played off of IV, V and VI and everything is played to the formula to some extent.

No. First you need to rewatch Revenge of the Sith and agree with me it’s the best movie ever.

...like making a new Desert planet and calling it Jakku. Like making a new Luke, a new Han, a new Yoda, New Darth Vader, new Emperor... *yawn* almost nothing about VII is original.

Nobody likes the prequel except Episode III is the best movie in the entire franchise. It has better pacing and and action than any of the originals, and the story it tells is the most dissective and interesting one plus it’s a nice tragedy — almost has a macbeth-like feel to it. V would be the close second but…

Hehe, oops, George. I’ll have him know though that I’ve watched Episode III 10 times or more with my friend. It’s our favorite Star Wars movie ever and I always object to the “NOBODY LIKES THE PREQUELS” bullshit by pointing at RotS being a great tragedy-story and Phantom Menace actually having more originality and a…

It is never fleshed out what growing up as a Storm Trooper under the first order is like, beyond it being a program and what we see depicted. It could be they have RnR and get to fraternize on special occasions, but it would seem silly considering how much JJ wanted to portray the First Order as Nazies.

His part was never handled with subtlety or care in the first place. The second he decides to stop being for the First Order he just despises them for everything even though they’ve been his whole life. There could’ve been a cute angsty teenage arc in that, but the movie never plays with any ideas about him dealing…

All of those ideas are shallow at best so i’m glad they all got cut.

Watch out Cassandra. You wanna get fired like that other guy? Yes!? Okay, keep talking then.

I hate cancer. It’s a dark cloud looming in the distance all the time and it makes you feel powerless. I also lost my dad at an early age to it. I’m always glad to see the sense of communion it creates though, like with this. I think I’m donating. Even if his cancer turns out to be incurable this will matter to his…

Glad to see Wind Waker there. It was the most alienating exprience that I loved 100%. There’s something otherworldly about sinking beneath the sea and discovering hyrule stuck in place where the sky is ripples and waves instead of clouds. I swear that game had some true creative genius, and strangely it’s the…

A lot of the music is ambient versions of real compositions. The flagship theme “Castle in the Mist” has 3-4 ambient versions in the soundtrack too, like when you meet Yorda, for example.

I think ICO is something everyone should try at some point. Many developers should take inspiration from its minimalistic design. Actually, I started playing Witcher 3 while removing all HUD but Health and a few equipment things because of this game. Try it. It makes the game more immersive.
