Hah, uh, because a lot of us are capable of enjoying something even if “on-paper” it doesn’t live up to some other thing?

I mean, Alien is absolutely amazing; it’s one of my favorite films of all time. That does nothing to take away my enjoyment of Prometheus. I don’t sit there second-guessing the motivation of the…

Except the (tired) narrative of Shyamalan being a one-trick pony is wearing increasingly thin, especially considering his last couple of films have been regarded much higher than his perceived “failures.” 

The Visit got above-average reviews and was largely considered a return to form for him, and Split has very good…

I don’t even believe it’s actually even about the stupidity of the character’s choices... People are simply more critical/negative now then they were 40 years ago, and have a much easier way to express it.

In the same vain, websites are just parroting whatever regurgitated hatred they see in an attempt to get readers.…

It would take you all of about 30 seconds of scanning the comments here to find that lots of us enjoyed most of the franchise, and are very excited for another installment.

I wouldn’t argue that nothing (not even Aliens) has ever remotely lived up to the original, but that’s usually the way it goes. It doesn’t mean I…

Well, automation is a huge part of what makes it amazing, but the always-on, always-listening factor is huge too.

I don’t have to pick up my phone or search through a music library on my PC; I can just yell the name of a song from the shower, and boom, I’m hearing it.

The information is amazing too... I can pause the…

That’s the same mentality that makes Harmony continue to create All-In-One remote apps for phones, despite that being kind of insane... Just because you have your phone on you, does not automatically make it the end-all solution for everything. The very last thing I want to do is pick up my phone (assuming it’s…

Could not agree more. Was just lamenting it on another comment, but I had a spectacular fail on a NYS inspection last month... A garage I go to all the time, that had passed the car a year ago, wanted $2800 in work before they would sticker it again this year, not even including them requiring I have all (previously…

Yeah, NY is Thunderdome in comparison... Car and inspection sticker enter, only the car leaves.

I brought my winter-beater Honda Civic in for a NYS inspection last month, (to the same place that passed it the prior year,) and they estimated $2,800 in work before they would issue it a sticker.... On a car I paid $800…

Werd. I don’t even have a VCR anymore, and have ditched my entire VHS collection, except for this tape. I just can’t get rid of it.

I’m fascinated by this game’s existence... I’d love to have heard the initial pitch of: “Hey, remember that office comedy from 20 years ago that didn’t do well in theaters? Let’s spin it off into a free-to-play game, that really has nothing to do with the actual movie, but will catch all that sweet, sweet Office Space…

Just FYI, that’s actually total horseshit; I read an article about it recently.

I don’t recall the author/book offhand from where it originates, but it was not quoting Antionette, was written when she was like 10 years old, and the context of it had nothing at all to do with the way people use it when they miscredit…

Thing is, I’m sure this is handled the same way Federal Student Loan debt is... IE, Even when those debts are sold to an outside agency, it’s still federal debt, so, you don’t have the option of not paying it.

If you don’t agree to the agency’s payment plan, they’ll freeze your bank account and/or garnish your wages.

When I was about 19 I “customized” my black 84 Iroc with a (flashing) purple-neon plate-frame and matching illuminated shift-knob, which pretty much blinded everyone in the car when I turned it on, myself included...

I’m assuming since they don’t mention anything about new transfers that these are just the same bargain-bin crap you can buy right now, at way cheaper prices. A couple of these have been recently re-released, but most of them were just shoveled onto BD with nothing added or cleaned up, and look pretty crummy in HD.

You could absolutely do it cheaper on Amazon, right now. I have about 75% of the Blurays on this list and I definitely paid less than what these would average out to.

Especially considering that outside of a couple that are available in more expensive editions (From Beyond for example) you can buy all of these individually (or in two-packs) for WAY less than this. I’m not even seeing anything in this box that hasn’t already been released on Bluray, which makes me question what…

Haha, well, that’s an excellent point, and I do have a son, but he lives with the wife five days a week, so he doesn’t eat every second of my free time these days. Plus, we play games together when he’s here anyway. Granted, he’s only five, so its not exactly the same experience, but he certainly likes attempting to…

Hah, well, anecdotal evidence obviously, but...

I’m a very well employed software developer, but definitely not wealthy. I quit smoking pot about a decade ago, I work out 4 or 5 days a week, I have both a (crazy hot and very successful) girlfriend, as well as a wife (separated.)
 
I also have an arcade cabinet in my…

Not quite... In recent studies it’s been determined that both genders are pretty uniformly unfaithful across the board. IIRC, somewhere around a 1/4 of people in relationships surveyed attempt to stray, and the number did not vary by sex.

On top of that, women were shown to look outside their relationships for actual…

In all seriousness... how can you still have this mentality at this point?

Per the last study I read, the game industry was about to overtake books as the third largest entertainment industry on the planet, with only TV and Gambling ahead of it. It is so ubiquitous at this point, that more people play games than go to…
