RE2 was my first survival horror game back when I was a teen. Rented it from Blockbusters. I still remember playing it in my family’s living room on a Saturday night when my parents were out. Got to order a pizza all for myself. I barely made it through maybe two slices because I was too busy freaking out and being foc…

Which immediately pivots into her expressing a moment of “cute” self-doubt (“...yeah...”- as in yeah I just did that onstage and now I’m not sure what to do next) to which he replies, “Get over here.” And she does! And they kiss! And the background people cheer! For me, that exchange deflates her moment of assertion…

I would’ve preferred “The House Centipede” as a follow-up. Ever kill one of those things? 1) They’re much faster than you’d expect them to be. 2) They shed their legs when you hit them, which creates the abject horror moment of “oh god, I’ll never find their legs in the carpet. Do I vaccuum? Do I want to vaccuum up…

I figure she was cast in part for her brand familiarity as the character Mona from the show Pretty Little Liars--it's a bit easier to swallow her appearance if you've watched her play a teenager for years as recently as a couple of years ago.

Good list!! There are a few things listed I don’t know about so I may have to check those out later. Some of Slender Man’s former “success” was when the figure was treated as a transmedia storytelling opportunity (like MarbleHornets) or as an active participatory story (the many different PC games about him). Not…

I should give that a rewatch, though I know I haven’t done so because it effectively creeped me out when I saw it for the first time and I just don’t know if I want to go back there.

I was planning to take my parents to the movies this weekend. They love action. They’re fine with violence (my mom more so). They love Denzel, so I figured Equalizer II. But they also don’t mind the M:I franchise either (it/the Bourne franchise/the Bond franchise act as “travel the world via crazy plots!” popcorn…

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

I just watched Tag, which is also on Netflix, last weekend. I like horror movies anyways, so it’s been in my queue for a while, but I actually bumped it from “I’ll get around to this one day” to “Oh! I’ll watch tonight!” because it stars Torichan and I really wanted to see her do something beyond the commentator…

I started with Aloha State because I’ve visited Hawaii and wanted to revisit it from a different perspective, and I needed a new avenue for temporary escape from the hellish realities of today’s American WTFery. Having had reality shows in the background of my teenage years, I found myself watching AS show going “Wow,…

I shouldn’t be surprised that the trailer features Leon, but I wonder if the game’s perspective is rooted in Leon’s story only or if we get to play as Claire as well (who I think we saw very briefly in the trailer)? RE2 was one of my entry points into survival horror, so I have a soft spot for it (and I preferred…

I wasn’t old enough to care about college kids when Felicity aired, so Alias was my first J. J. Abrams experience. I tried watching Felicity a year or so ago on Hulu and I made it to some point in the first season (exams time? Thanksgiving?) when I had to bail because, as a now 30-something-year-old, I just couldn’t…

One could argue that any medical skills he learned earlier in life, fueled by the jadedness of an unfulfilled attempt at young adult romance, could have led to the Noel-turned-Jake character he is on Scandal. (I also cannot remember his character on True Blood, despite watching the whole series, but also not…

I’m surprised no one’s posted to the BSC TV show that preceded the ‘95 movie. I can’t remember a lick of the TV show EXCEPT THE THEME SONG.

I will throw my money all over this movie. I want to see it personally. My parents also love action movies in the vein of the Mission Impossibles and the Bournes—basically spy/government flicks that take the viewer around the world—and I’m always looking for movies I can take them to as fun adult-children/parent…

If you live in the U.S. (b/c I have no idea what the availability is in other countries), you can watch Boys Over Flowers and Heirs (as referenced in the copy above) on Hulu. Netflix has several different options from Hulu as well (more than Hulu, perhaps). There’s also a whole streaming channel called “Drama Fever”…

I didn’t enjoy the third one as much as the second one, but I think moving the setting from the gated community of the home security developer’s family into the cities to follow characters exemplifying the most vulnerable groups really shifted the franchise’s pathway in a (n engaging? Refreshing?) way that stars some…

Minorities AND the lowest socioeconomic status folks—the homeless population and the poor—which still trends to be a lot of minority populations but also includes poor whites.

!!! Your parsing just made me love “Make Me Feel” even more, and I didn’t need additional encouragement for that, but I appreciate it all the same.
