If you have a time machine, you don’t have to kill Baby Hitler. You can kill Teen Hitler, or Private Hitler in WWI, or Struggling Artist Hitler, or In Jail Hitler, or Alone on the Toliet in the Eagles Nest Hitler. So, basically, Any Time in His Life Hitler if you have a freaking time machine.

Rewatching Unbreakable this week in preparation for this movie, I was really struck by how good Willis is in it. It’s a quiet, wounded performance but also one where you feel the bond between him and his son and the basic decency of this guy who really doesn’t understand himself. I wish we got that Willis more often.  

I donno... If the next God of War or Halo games forces the player into a gay marriage, I’m willing to bet there would be a lot less respect.

In continuity, Winston makes total sense because he’d mentor anyone for some cash.

The Washington Racist Teams Names signed a quarterback who hadn’t thrown a competitive pass since 2011, while at the same time saying they wouldn’t sign Kaepernick because he hadn’t thrown a competitive pass since 2016. Let that sink in for a moment.

Just a reminder - Nathan Peterman, the most hilariously terrible QB in NFL history, began the season as the Bills starter, AFTER throwing five interceptions in his debut last season. And after starting his season with even more disastrous incompetence, he was signed by the Raiders. Also, people caught and indefinitely…

Whoa whoa whoa, you’d have to be some kind of billionaire to afford such an extravagant feast!

Witch hunts with no evidence and wild accusations have always gone well, historically. I’m sure this one will be no different.

Given that the the entirety of the game map is made of fictional places, can it really be called the “real-world” past?

Eh, what you’re citing here is just the tropes of the video game genre it’s part of intruding. That there’s an overlay of videogame mechanics does not mean it isn’t historical fiction, any more than the clean professional makeup in most historical fiction movies makes them not qualify; it’s almost just an artifact of…

Indiana Jones was himself a pretty direct rip-off of a couple different serials that Lucas was fond of.  Though Raiders is perfect, so it doesn’t matter.

Drumroll please!

I think RDR2 is much more ambivalent about Dutch’s outlaw “code” and suggests that it’s just another American mythology used to paper over cruelty and greed. The Pinkertons are shit, but so is everyone else except maybe Buell and that amputee vet in Valentine who wants hugs.

“only to have that idea confirmed with a horrific incest scene from the last season’s finale.”

The dozens of Los Angeles fans must be so sad.

“As is the curse of all auspicious debuts, it’s a show that will forever be defined by its past—measured against the highs of its first season and the lows of its second.”

I went to my first white Sox home game after being a fan since birth (thanks pops) in August and it hailed and I had to leave in the 6th. Felt good man 

I don't disagree, but showing up to negotiate, the other side asking for total capitulation at the START of negotiations, then walking out before negotiatiating, is pretty ideal for the Democrats.

I think they should accept everyone of these meetings, because in this whole shitty, pointless mess, hearing about Trump’s childish behavior and then dunking on his ass afterwards is the only entertainment.
