Danny, you are doing the lord’s work.

A man willing to eat sub-par soggy fries is relatable. A man willing to defend them is not to be trusted. And freezing french fries after blanching is literally and, at this point, scientifically proven to give you a crisper, better fry. You can die on a hill of soggy potato, but we will live on crispy and golden.

Having never played a Monster Hunter before and been interested, I picked this up. While at first everything felt overwhelming, I feel like the game does a pretty good job of getting you acclimated through the Village Quests, and absolutely lets you know that Hub Quests are for multiplayer and, though scaled, are…

Is that a double chicken sandwich? Respect.

I worked with Danny Trejo once and was shocked by how short he was. I’m just 6' but he seemed at least a head shorter than me.

Got to be careful with some of those, too, especially late night on those apps. One evening I was perusing my chicken options and noticed some of the different restaurants actually had the same address, so I counted. Seven. Seven “different” chicken “restaurants” were all supposedly coming from the same address. Can’t…

There are an absolute ton of people who work in film and tv who either aren’t eligible for union representation, or there simply is no union for them to join, as is the case with production assistants.

I didn’t realize Druckmann was co-president of Naughty Dog, so that sort of nullifies my question in this instance, but I’m going to ask it anyway because that’s how I learn things: how involved is the game director in the minute management of the overall development team? I’m sure he has plenty of pull, but I…

If it’s not Hannibal, frankly, I don’t want it.

I know this review was late, but damn, was it so late that it couldn’t go through an editing pass?

This is why I think the “Avengers” comparison is apt. Even though I don’t think the article is nearly as polar as this other commenter seems to, I think expecting a game to be anything more than a game is foolhardy. Games can absolutely be high art, but that’s not a necessity of the medium. Ghost of Tsushima wasn’t…

I started this season thinking: “Yup, this is no good, they just can’t recapture the magic of season 1 and 2. The stunt casting is weird at best, distracting and bad at worst. I will not finish this.” But about halfway through I picked it up again and became interested in the characters. Chris Rock had found his…

There were people saying that beforehand but, I mean, Cahiers du Cinema naming it movie of the year is still kind of a huge deal. That said it is of course a TV show, albeit one I deeply love.

Maybe you’re just less interested in food. I had a really fun time with FFXV, spent many hours in that game. And my favorite part? The food. It’s a video game, and like a TV show, or book, or any other piece of media, you take what you want from it.

They aren’t the ONE organization to do anything, and just because you haven’t done your due diligence and realized you’re getting taken by a bunch of Bush-era conservatives who are decrying the very situation they thrust upon us doesn’t mean that someone who does is whining about ideological purity. It just means you…

The Lincoln Project? No, my guy...

Hate to be that guy but there’s an equally bonkers and wonderful game called Scarface: The World is Yours that is also a 3rd person action game with a dedicated swear/middle finger button. And it would tell you which body part you shot a bad guy in, including individual nuts. A GTA clone that, for a teen boy, totally…

This mostly goes to show that you don’t know anything about the production timeline of what you consume. People have been working during the pandemic, but most production has halted. Post production, however, can still be done relatively safely or completely remotely. So if there’s stuff that’s already been shot, it’s…

So excited for Sean Durkin’s new movie. I remember seeing this on 35mm in the theater and being gobsmacked by how assured the direction was from such a young and inexperienced team. Great movie, great performances.

Although I do think there was certainly some fat to be trimmed in sections of this movie, I found it similarly as moving and (personally) relatable as “Synecdoche, NY.” I haven’t seen either “A Beautiful Mind” or “An American in Paris,” so those references there were lost on me, but for me the final song really pulled…
