Why do you guys always talk about “the movies maybe don’t grab so much attention” or “people prefer the comfort of their homes” and never mention that it is more difficult to go to the cinema because of the closures, because of the consolidation that makes the same film appear on every screen (with one small exception…

it’s a very gamey rpg, in the sense that you feel how everything points to mechanics, with its janky parts and a very strong Central European Rpg Character Tropes that you are used to if you ever played any Gothic or Piranha Bytes game (basically it’s so macho that it smells). It is incredibly cool to watch and to…

I don’t know. It has many of those dramatic tics from Edward Zwick that I find so artificial, so irritating, that gets me out of the story to see just a play.

To be honest I also understood this as "finished filming", meaning that there is a lot of work in post production pending. 

There are not thousands of space rpgs I am afraid. You cannot talk about this as if games are sold in tons, by weight.

Yeah that’s the point. One can play a Bethesda game and not like it, then being labelled by you folks as hater for not jumping on the praise/hype bandwagon.

My take: this is something for the Academy to deal with, not Sandra Bullock in respect to the Academy. That means that you can demand her to apologise, to explain, to do whatever, but the award was given to her by the Academy for a film, a biopic, and the Academy are the ones who should own that decision.

The PC platform games (not sure what ports are similar and which ones are diffierent) were very well made, with awesome sound design. Much better than the average of movie video game adaptations. Still, not a rpg.

I just think that Sorcerer is an absolute monster of a movie, an incredibly powerful one and with a very particular point of view, and the comparison with any modern one, where there is barely any room for character, is always going to be unfair.

it’s been gradually worse - the vanishing of the indie circle in cinemas has been quite astonishing. Remember when you could watch Hal Hartley without that much of an effort?

it is the only way they get people to comment. Other articles that are more nuanced have almost no one commenting on them, because people here only comment when it talks to them personally or can validate their ideas or tastes. 

It is a very avclub thing, reflected also on the awful comments, that people focus on a tiny detail to brew their pet hate more instead of going in depth for the topic in charge. I do think that superhero films have swiped loads of genres almost out of existence, I do think that “Don’t look up” was one of the most…

The fact that NONE, NONE of the comments are about the film and are about making fun of the writing for some inane reason with the self righteousness of doing it because they deserve it is what is driving this site to hell, and not the listicles. You are the worst, people.

Nice selection. Would add Burnt Offerings and not that many more.

Maybe I will have to reread it, but at the time when I read it I thought it was just a cheap exploitation of The Haunting (with shocking sex! Sex! Shock!). It was really a surprising disappointment after reading other books from Richard Matheson and knowing his career as scriptwriter.

I have many problems with Kubrick and The Shining, but he always delivers a message using architecture and interior design like only few others do (Pakula, Fincher)

My hot take: yay for preservation but this way of treating legacy entertainment is a bit like “look at this bargain bin, all this CONTENT”. Then the discourse about old games is focused only on the nostalgia, and people who were not alive when these games were done will just see a bunch of varied stuff packed in the…

The fact that Wikipedia is taken as the first source of information for anything while things like this [waves around] happen on its editorial/admin/moderating world... how come have we become so dependant on a few sources of information that are not even public, I wonder. 

so this is the point where you showed the hill you want to die on

isn’t the IMAX aspect ratio just another spin on open matte? I saw Tenet in changing ratios and I could not shake the feeling of watching an open matte, with loads of space up and down.
