Not sure that’s true. I’ve looked through a lot of his arguments, and haven’t found any that are really valid. Most are just distraction and emotional manipulation.

Except that it is true. His arguments are generally straw men, or easy, obvious points. Nearly everything I’ve read or listened to from him is either completely misrepresenting opposing points of view, or playing “gotcha libs!” with kids on college campuses. That is the definition of intellectually lazy. Engaging with…

The irony is Shapiro has never presented a serious argument/counter argument in his life

I’m in, so long as it’s a hard sci-fi reboot.

I’m with you on the big chains— I don’t care if I ever set foot in an AMC theater again— but theaters like Alamo can be beacons of culture and it would be a shame if they went away. It’s too bad they also seem to attract abusive scumbags (losing Cinefamily in LA really sucked but had to happen.)

Too bad. I actually really enjoyed the game and thought the mechanics were good, though I also think it would have been much better as a single-player or not-live-service game - most of its problems were around loot or ever-increasing difficulty that made some core game mechanics not work or certain abilities just…

Counterpoint: Dawn of the Dead is probably his best movie, a well paced update of the Romero original. What it gave up in social commentary it gained in tautness and entertainment value. If he can bring that sensibility to Army of the Dead it will be a fun ride (that manages to tell its story before it wears out its…

I confess that I liked his version of Dawn Of The Dead, particularly the opening scene (it might just be the Johnny Cash song talking, though.)

Weekend at Hef's

She was really great in Fresh Meat. Always happy to see any of the cast of that show in any projects, even Jack Whitehall most of the time.

I don’t think it was ever announced as a launch title and it’s “next gen” stuff was the shifting, not the resolution or performance

I loved the Fred character, though i was a studious teen in the pre-Hermione era. I enjoyed seeing a character who was so bookish without being a full-on nerd. Maybe it was Amy’s screen presence, and of course i liked the character i related to, but I think there was more to her.

It’s been about 15+ years since I’ve actually bought single issue comics, stopping pretty much at Civil War. Hoopla has been a godsend for my revised comics reading habits.

I think everyone gets to that point. If you ever get the itch to revisit, I think you’ll find more selective reading, preferably from a free resource (Hoopla via your local library might work) will be the way to go.

I haven’t collected anything serialized in 15 or so years. The twin knock out punch of Avengers Disassembled and Infinite Crisis took me out. I just keep an eye out for acclaimed runs and binge them when they are done.  It’s been much more fun, honestly.  

I think Original Sin made me give up superhero comics almost entirely. I’ll pick up a collection from the library every once in a while, but that one took me right out of anything serialized.

When exactly will the new radicals kick his ass in?

My parents are pretty well off, not 1%-er or even close, but they’re in good shape financially. Part of this was a smart move on their part to move out to a small town with low cost of living when they retired.

Since everyone else is chiming in...

I’d say series 5 is Moffat’s strongest—he actually delivered on a coherent and satisfying season arc, and his go-to trick of playing around with time travel and continuity still felt more like magic and less like misdirection at that point. Capaldi, however, is my favorite Doctor, and I’m with you on series 9 in terms…
