The Fauvouriute was pretty good, but it’s a much weirder movie than anyone I went with thought it would be. There were a lot of choices that probably had more to do with hiding the budget and the limited (single?) location, and some definitely worked better than others, but if that’s spun into “it’s a technical…

It has to cycle to something new every few years, but it always means “Ugh poors, am I right?”

If he runs as a Democrat, the DNC could conceivably try to turn this inevitable flameout from tire fire into a controlled burn. They can’t and wouldn’t, but that’s what they’d tell others and themselves as they stuffed their pockets with his money until it ended one way or another

“How to be Old, White and Terrified: A Manual”

An overlooked influence on Man of Steel is Dragonball Z*, The stories were sort of similar to begin with, but given that series has been accused of making it’s hero seem unheroic with the writing seemingly unintentionally confusing “heroic” and “most powerful/able to defeat their enemies” I wonder if that’s something…

They “upgraded” to a modern lighting system that turned a game that already had a largely brown and gray color pallet into basically a sepia filter at times, graphics aren’t usually a deal-breaker for me but even to my untrained eye it was a step down from the Wii version (I never played the Gamecube version).

I wouldn’t mind seeing a trilogy re-release for Switch in the meantime to tide people over, as long as they don’t go the Twilight Princess Wii U route and release it unpolished just to have something on the shelves

It’s also the only native habitat of the critically endangered Twoer Tree! *Dennis Farina voice* I hear dares only two’er tree left in da whole worlt

Unless these layoffs were to free up some money so they could make the purchase. Cut the investment in physical media with an eye toward gradually zeroing out, and roll all that cash into a struggling digital media business and repeat. These media megacorps are basically the mobsters from Goodfellas, except they’re…

I completely agree. It’s the same reason Batman converting cell phones into a surveillance device in The Dark Knight, while not from any specific comic I’m aware of, was accepted as an interesting interpretation of his fascist tendencies while Batman vs. Superman’s Batman was controversial despite being a fairly…

I’m a believer in the “superheroes are modern myths” theory, they’re characters and stories that can be told over and over, with elements changed and fitted to the culture currently telling them or elements so intrinsic to the character or story that changing it even slightly changes the foundation. People have been…

For years they’ve explained those embargoes as “trying not to confuse audiences” and unofficially the logic was “we don’t want different licensed versions of these characters cannibalizing each other’s sales and pissing off our business partners.” Clearly audiences are now/have always been fine with it, and the…

Dammit Mother Jones, you put this back where you found it right now! Let the right wing media find it, then we can laugh at them for thinking it’s remotely newsworthy

If you turn off targeted ads, you get what they show you and that’s usually the dregs whose checks nevertheless cleared. A lot of ads have malicious scripts that do this (especially in Chrome), I’ve had it happen with Daily Beast and The Hill in the past too 

Comiskey hasn’t been the White Sox home for 16 years, but in parts of Chicago, you’d never know that

These situations are really tough to comprehend as an outsider and I can’t imagine what the family has gone through before this situation or after, but this statement is reminding me of the way Terri Schiavo’s family presented her condition, so the distinction must be meaningful to them on some level (or there’s a…

The right wing media knows they’re full of shit, but they just want to stand there, spouting their bullshit and signalling their politics, grinning with their chin out and daring anyone to take the easy shot. But once someone takes that bait, that person will be the one who escalated the situation, and there are…

If you have to ask, there’s no point trying to explain it to you. Try google

He smirked in that man’s face because he believed that he would get away with it, turns out he was 100% correct. Great job, American media

But if they did that, how could Trump score points with his base by making it his decision to cut them off instead?
