It’s a measure of if the movie met audience expectations. It’s a bad metric for films that aim to be subversive, like all the A24 movies outlined above.

Love your username btw. Also, I share your frustration with the theater experience. Fortunately I live close to some arthouse theaters that tend to have better crowds. AMC is always a roll of the dice.

“When are film distributors going to learn that horror films should be released on digital at the same time as in theaters.”

Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. I was actually a bit worried around the 30-60 minute mark. The supernatural stuff took a backseat while it focused on the family drama that unfolded in the wake of Charlie’s death (though I will say the movie still maintained a sense of dread and suspense in those moments thanks to the tone,…

I just assumed, probably wrongly, that someone on the inside was covering his tracks. Ford seems like the likely candidate though he seemed genuinely surprised by Akecheta’s wokeness. Unless that was just more manipulation on Ford’s part, like he wanted him to believe he had free will in all this.

I remember the day I decided to put down Bloodborne. I tried to move onto something else but everything paled in comparison. Sure enough I was back at it within a few days. Eventually I was able to really put it down. But I’m always tempted to go back to it. It’s been about a year since my last playthrough. But I’m…

If you have something to offer this president (like publicity), he will use it and give you nothing in return.

Oh look, another idiot burned by Trump. I get why someone might try to put aside their differences and foster a positive relationship with the man in order to achieve some nobler cause. But as we’ve seen time and time again, it never works out that way with Trump. He uses these people to promote his own image. Then he…

TIL there’s a 30 for 30 podcast. Gonna have to check it out. Thanks!

“just like its fully within other people’s rights to boycott the baker for being an asshole.”

I wonder if any of these songs will get much radio airtime. None of them seem quite as catchy as his previous stuff. Maybe with the exception of Ghost Town, but that song is kind of unconventional in terms of how it progresses. Not that it’s a metric to judge the album by. I’m more just curious about how many ears…

You might say it’s...less daunting.

I enjoyed the finale but god do I hate their use of music this season. When ‘With or Without You’ started playing I thought it was a little on-the-nose but figured I could tolerate it. But then it just kept. on. going. It ruined Paige’s goodbye for me. So much for subtlety. Again, I enjoyed the ep and thought they…

Please correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the wifi on the Switch pretty bad? I recall reading that they used one of the cheapest wifi chips available.

I haven’t considered cost per hour since the 1990s. Probably because in the 1990s I was broke and had loads of free time.

I have no problem with parody. If you’re being parodied it probably means you’ve created something worth talking about. But not like this. This example is just pure garbage and deserves to be ridiculed in its own right. Although as others have pointed out, there’s some meta irony to this filmmaker demonstrating her…

It’s been several years since my last play-through but I still get excited every time I see articles about this game. I don’t own a Vita (Mac & Switch here) but that’s awesome to see Concerned Ape brought it to yet another platform.

Just gotta say thank you for pushing back against this attempt to normalize corruption. Fuck that noise.

Even when it does happen, how often do people honestly go back and play their old saves? Once I put a game down I’m usually done with it for good. If I do go back to it months/years later then chances are I’m going to start a fresh save file. I get the anxiety surrounding huge games like BOTW, but in most cases it’s a…

With great power comes great scrutiny.
