The weirdest part of this movie is that Peter Parker is a jerk before the alien suit even shows up. He might not have been dancing yet, but he was ignoring MJ’s feelings, seething about the retcon of Uncle Ben’s murder, and kissing Gwen Stacy before the alien touched him

The human mind is a tricky thing, especially when it comes to the intersection of exploitation and the need for security. Cognitive dissonance, sunk-cost fallacy and Stockholm syndrome are all extreme versions, but anyone who’s busted their ass at a crappy minimum wage job knowing they could get an easier job with the…

Possibly? But probably not, but that would come down to my personal tastes. End of the day it’s a product/game designed to entertain an audience. That audience isn’t engaging in a consensual act with a partner, they’re paying to engage in a simulation of that sort of interaction for entertainment purposes

suggesting the removal is due to a changing stance on sexual content on Sony’s part

The longer these idiots spend splitting hairs with each other instead of doing shit that has actual consequences the better.

It’s usually cheap to add, looks good as a features bullet point, and-most importantly-they compliment the marketing push on social media

Consultants who think the name of the game in 2018 is avoiding attacks, instead of making a show of taking them on the chin and acting like they didn’t hurt, have learned nothing

Beyond the 2020 stuff, I think this is what’s going on. Do it before midterms, maybe some Republican candidates get asked about it and some some racist shit, maybe make Trump look stupid and cheap when she tells him to donate the $1 million he promised and he very publicly tries to walk it back. She diffuses his…

Superman Lifts A Succession of Heavier Objects While Mortals Look Scared On Aircraft was not fitting on the collector’s cups, so they had to shorten it

I can’t believe it’s not on the list, or that I’m not seeing anyone in the comments mention it, but no Maximum Carnage?

People called the Trump campaign a dying whimper too, this time around those writers should be saving the eulogies until we’re sure the body has gone cold. The systems that prop this country up are designed to break towards guys like Kavanaugh

My read is that they’ve more or less resigned themselves to Beer Likin’ Brett failing to get the votes, but they’ve decided to ratchet up the hysterics as much as possible to get their base to read the situation as an anti-white guy outrage instead of a humiliating failure

Well yeah, Pascal has been pretty open about that from the jump. But it’s pretty clear no one besides her thinks that’s a good idea.

They’ll keep the rights either way, but they might choose to licence the characters back to Disney, forgoing creative control in exchange for a cut of the profits like they did with Holland-Spidey

Goddamn it Gaga fans, Venom needs to tank without the asterisk otherwise Sony will keep the rights forever!

Polish law protects authors who don’t see a minimum amount of royalties in relation to the profits the license for their works if the compensation to the author is “lower than a factor of at least two.” Additionally, there’s a dispute over whether the original agreement was licencing the property for a single game or…

When they dump a 4-6 episode “Epilogue” cobbled together from the footage they’ve shot so far and quickie reshoots on some deadzone weekend in a year or so with no promotion, then we can say it’s dead

Marketing Brain has taken over, “sure the country is in the shitter and everyone is mad all the time, but have you seen the engagement on social?!?!” 

Restaurant workers are a self-selected group of people, and that selection process was “do you like this job that is alternately boring or intense, and has an element of chance (with a layer of skill) tied to your take home?”
