PIEMAL, I like it! There is something nice about seeing these movies on the big screen as they’re meant to be seen. I probably wouldn’t have seen this in theater opening night if Disney hadn’t forced my hand to see Shang-Chi in theater last month, but I started thinking about how I had seen the other Craig Bond movies…

I always jokingly liken Zimmer as a “Poor man’s John Williams,” as he tends to be a behind many great scores in movies, but rarely has the lasting impact Williams brings. I think the first Zimmer OST I bought was The Simpson’s Movie, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen his name as far back as like Twister?

Absolutely agree, her choices always run in the face of what a Starfleet Captain should do… up until literally the last part of the season 3 finale, but then again, I grew up on TNG era Captains, and she does come from (near) Kirk’s era where Captains are brash and gunslinging. They even make a comment about this,…

I understand some of your criticism, but it definitely got me from the first five minutes by just incorporating an instrumental version of a previous Bond song (We Have All the Time in the World) into the score. That touch of nostalgia and riding the line between modern Bond who feels love but is also a ruthless…

Except it’s not an alias if you actually bothered to watch the old Bond films with any memory retention. He gets married as Lazenby then she dies and it sends Connery on a path to kill Blofield. And each subsequent Bond until Craig had an acknowledgement of Tracy dying in the 6th movie (Brosnon’s was probably the most…

I thought it was on par with Casino Royale. There were predictable parts in this, but since they haven’t spent an entire media campaign denying things that happen in the movie happen, I didn’t instantly get up and say fuck you when it happened like I did with the I am Blofield/Kahn reveal. The things that were obvious…

GTA III is where it started*, it showed us what open world could be and the freedoms it came with. Not every open world game has been good, but you’re right, it has become the norm to assume an open world game would instantly make things better.

I saw Shang-Chi in theaters and I’ve already said this, but the moviegoing experience was terrible relative to being able to just watch it at home. That being said, I enjoyed experiencing the movie on the big screen and kind of wished I had done that with Black Widow. I am definitely going to brave going to the cinema…

Plus 300 minutes of dictation/transcription per month which is a nice feature I only use because I started a podcast last year and apparently transcripts help SEO or something.

That is the spiciest caption I have ever read.

I mean, do I want racist dipshits to not have a voice and disappear forever? Yes. Do I want that to happen by taking away everyone’s ability to voice their opinion? No. The racist dipshits were already there, they don’t disappear by us censoring them, and living in a bubble where they “don’t exist” because we don’t…

It’s possible you’re older than me? Having grown up with the evolution of the World Wide Web, I honestly can’t remember a medium that allowed for user generated content to be published and accessed with such ease, that is still around today. Like I wrote in to Nintendo Power, but they still had an editor to moderate…

I wonder if this is to tide us over until Mando S3 or if it will drop back to back… the former seems more likely, as I feel if Mando S3 was dropping at the same time as the previous 2 seasons, we would’ve heard something by meow.

Yeah, a fair and free Internet does mean you have to wade through other people’s shit, but I would rather love freedom with all its blemishes than take the alternative with no outlet to say the pretentious crap I’m saying right meow.

The show works best as a snarky spy series, yes, but the Space season was probably the strongest of the 3 (and on par with the Vice season, imo). While I understand their need to indulge their creativity and do stuff like that, the past two seasons have certainly shown there are still more stories to tell in Archer’s…

I thought it was a racist parade she won?

Idk Rob, I mean yes, obviously they all sign like 7 picture deals or whatever, but even Simu Liu said he doesn’t know how or when Shang-Chi will come back after the first movie in his interviews. He claims they haven’t filled him in yet, and honestly that’s the safest thing for Marvel to do, especially with newbies to…

James mentions the Build franchise in the article as well as OVAs and movie adaptations of manga as things that have “kept the Gundam franchise alive” in the years since IBO. Personally, I enjoyed Divers and Re:Rise, but it’s not the same as a Gundam series imo, I mean it hits some of the same notes, but it’s more…

Yeah, it’s like having a user run thing, let’s call it like an Observation Deck, and then suddenly killing it.
