I feel like the biggest mistake the anti-fascist movement ever did was to get branded as “Antifa.” That word sounds scary and foreign. When you have to use the whole name, you end up with sentences like “Kevin Sorbo fights anti-fascists,” very much making him seem like a fascist. Which, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I like a lot of King’s work, but this series had some of the worst 9-panel grids I’ve ever seen. Utter nonsense. I’m in the middle of writing them up over at Multiversity Comics, because someone needs to talk these grids!

There are so many Wrestlers who I’d love to watch as Kratos. I hearby nominate Samoa Joe.

...maybe these problems have always existed within this show and are just more apparent now that we are nearing the end and there aren’t any shocks left to distract us from a fundamentally empty adaptation...

I played the game when it first came out. Sure that moment has become legendary, but no one would have played the 70 hours leading up to that moment (or whatever) if it wasn’t a fantastic world with wonderful characters and an engaging story.

On the one hand, this is stupid and breaks everything.

I’m hoping they were including him to set up a future sequel, because I really like the character in the comics, even though he felt kinda superfluous in this first one.

This theory is really mechanically elegant, weaving together plot points, imagery, and lots of subtle little bits of the movie- but I feel like it undermines the movie thematically.

Still prefer that trend to sequels that have the titles of the original, because we hoped you’d forget but not really.

There’s also a totally different relationship between consumers and ads. I still remember trailers for Donkey Kong and Mortal Kombat in the 90s that all featured totally radical kids way more than game footage. Ads used to sell an idea, a tone, a brand.

What’s baffling to me is how so much of the promise of Anthem was in the negative. Bioware fans (whatever that means anymore) would ask a question about the game, and the answer would be “no, but...” Like, “are there going to be romances in the game?” “no but, well realized characters, platonic relationships...” “is

I remember really liking the Civ 4 climate change and pollution systems.

“I’ll Fight” sounds like a song written to be played over the closing credits of a documentary about a Supreme Court Justice.

Amazing Spider-Man is objectively not a very good movie, but I think the Andrew Garfield/Emma Stone romance really transcends the rest of the mediocre plot. Their awkward white kid flirting dynamic is weirdly sexier than ANYTHING in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

My very Jewish family can’t shut up about Mrs. Maisel and indeed, though my tastes run more Star Trek and X-Files, Mrs. Maisel is my favorite show currently being made.

I feel like we need a new word for people who are driving celebrities off the internet. Or maybe we have one: those folks are just being haters.

Song of Saya is the game that truly, deeply messed me up.

This was great and very much happened to me! But tell me me: did you ever relapse?

Wanted to make sure you were hip to Locke Lamora, was not disappointed. Now I gotta check this Unhewn Throne business out!

Is it just me, or does that dude look exactly like Tim Allen?
