how far backwards did you have to bend in order to contort yourself into defending a Z-grade shlock horror film that in any other era would have been churned out by The Asylum alongside Transmorphers and Almighty Thor

Exactly. The first was what most of us expected.  A cheap gimmicky cash grab with no heart.   I suspect this one isn’t going to be much better.   80 schlock horror had heart, which the first one of these didn’t even attempt to have 

Yeah, no to all of this. The original Blood and Honey genuinely sucked, a bog-standard generic slasher movie that thought just putting Pooh and Piglet masks on the killers would be enough to count, and with an unforgivably abrupt “not even trying” ending. It’s great if the sequel improves on that, truly, but let’s not…

This blows my mind. To me, going for a good hike is one of the best things you could do with your time, dodging rocks, and climbing trees is so much better than the bland sterility of a gym and treadmill. Unfortunately for me, I currently live at the bottom of an ancient lakebed and it’s about as flat as you can get,…

“It shouldn’t have ever been considered a separate game in the first place, and most of the changes were poorly conceived.”

Roadhouse is gleefully dumb, but it’s also one of the most entertaining movies of the decade. It’s infinitely rewatchable. I doubt this will be.

I’d submit the following remakes as at least pretty good (if not necessarily better than the originals, but you simply asked for “good remakes of movies since the 1970s”):

Making new heroes free is a good change, but locking new heroes behind a paywall should have never been implemented to begin with.

Other posters have mentioned it obliquely, but OW2 is just Overwatch with worse design. It shouldn’t have ever been considered a separate game in the first place, and most of the changes were poorly conceived.

Jake Gyllenhaal strikes me as a weird little theatre imp (in a positive way) who also happens to be willing to be superhero buff. I’d disagree with people who say he doesn’t have charisma, but it’s a more malovelent, mischievous charisma - his intensity in films like Zodiac or Nightcrawler is amazing, and then on the…

I mean, TikTok is also the best source of information about the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, which is likely the reason why the US government is suddenly fast-tracking its ban — gotta keep that pro-Israel banner flying! — but sure, the funny game videos are also nice.

Yeah she’s too dumb to realize she’s not going to win in a star-power fight with Pedro Fucking Pascal.

The “boop/beep” thing was a direct insult to Pedro Pascal, after he put pronouns in his bio as a show of support for his trans sister. Publicly attacking the star of the hugely successful show you somehow landed a part on is exactly the kind of stupid-as-shit career move that leads directly to working for Ben Shapiro.

Which isn’t even getting to the biggest part yet: the actual star of the show she appeared in has become a superstar over the course of it, famously has a trans sister whom he truly loves and supports in every way, and presumably told their bosses: “shut her up or get her the fuck off my show.”  And, not being idiots,…

This is not really sustainable though. Now you have a specific weapon resistance on a specific enemy - you’ve made the game more complex and in an “invisible” way. And if that keeps happening, you end up with a massive tangle of invisible rules around the weapons and the game becomes too arcane to figure out what’s…

I feel like with this and Larian Studios receiving toxicity, it’s almost as if this doesn’t really happen because of “bad games,” but because gamers are entitled Karens who don’t recognize the human cost of the games they played.

As far as I’m concerned, all developer interactions with gamers should just be a double mid…

LMAO. I almost have 100 hours. The patch is the first of many tweaks to get the game where they want. The true issue, which was even an issue before this is the spawning at higher difficulties. But sure you know better than the devs so go ahead and keep whining. If people don’t want any messing with the meta than…

The dev totally didn’t say it the right way but he has a point. The fucking whiners about a balance patch in this game are insufferable. Its been out for like two weeks. Its not like they took away some weapon after two years. Of course they are gonna have to fix some shit once the players get their hands on it. 

You watched Arrival and Prisoners and came away feeling they were cold and emotionless?

Yeah it’s literally about a colonized planet.
