I think the reason the original movie works and no sequel ever has is that Brandon Lee’s Crow was actually pretty multi-faceted. He had a dark sense of humor that was barely masking his rage, underlaid by a world weariness that gave you the strong sense that he just wanted this whole thing done with.

Every other…

Rocksteady built the Arkham games around the idea of Batman. How does he fight, how does he operate, what’s his arsenal, his go-to strategies? They started with the character and built the gameplay around that.

Looks fine. Just use John Williams’ music for God’s sake. You’re not going to top it, it’s a waste of time to try.

You’re confusing “remaster” and “remake.” The System Shock released in 2023 was a remake, not a remaster. As in, they rebuilt the entire game from scratch. There’s no shared code or assets with the original game. A System Shock remaster was released in 2015 in the form of System Shock: Enhanced Edition. Like most…

Your intent as it maybe, is not how it reads. Which is why it is in question by people. I came here to say the same thing HypnO did.

I could easily believe you, except for bemoaning the fact if they didn’t have something as the game loaded you might have an issue by the other things you comment on. And I say this…

I just watched it. Thought it was on same level or maybe better than Thor 4 and DS2. Definitely better than AM3. The opening fight sequence when they’re all trading places is really fun and well done and Kamala is great throughout. The villain was terrible and forgettable. 

It’s probably time for everyone to admit that this show was never good; we were just each 12 once.

They can call it The Supermans!

That’s always been the problem with Trump, and now just Republicans in general. You could parody Dubya-era Republicans because they were still clinging to a thin veneer of respectability. They, too, were shameless ghouls and con men, but they still behaved as if they could be shamed. Trump’s schtick has always been…

It keeps happening.

He didn’t leave Apple because he was bad at his job. He parted ways with Apple because they didn’t want him criticizing China and AI.

True but what’s onscreen has to pull together so many different elements, and the performances work in support of the story, that ultimately I call the director’s role as the lynchpin of the whole thing. 

Barbie is an adapted screenplay because it is based on a doll.

You love to see a genuinely great movie succeed. 

“What the Mandalorian & Grogu movie reveals about the future of Star Wars”

honestly, for all the shit that the sequel trilogy got i was at least looking forward to more new stories in that new timeline. i don’t even necessarily need to follow-up with any of the characters, but i thought the point was to give me something new.

I want to see it get a new title.

This is why we need a little orbiting space tugboat/robot assistant.
