I don’t think hating it because it sucks is an irrational reason.

I really wanted Detective Pikachu to be the next Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and all the pieces were there. But after three rowdy drunk teenagers left the theater 20 minutes in, yelling to everyone “Yo this movie fuckin’ SUCKS,” the worst part was that they were right. The rowdy teens were RIGHT

Detective Pikachu was bad, and I have the disappointing feeling I’m going to side with dowd on this one too. The moment of detective pikachu that actually felt pokemon specific was when they were trying to get information from Mr. Mime. Every other aspect of the film was by the numbers, insert your IP here. And like…

I’m not saying video games shouldn’t be made into movies, but the game probably should have solid characters, decent story and... the people who adapt the Marvel comics.

I’ll openly admit the resident evil movies are a guilty pleasureof mine. But those have so little resemblance to the games, they barely count.

They could change sonic’s horrifying face, but the real horror was inside the movie all along!

I really want to give James Marsden a big hug, because with the exception of Westworld, he’s made some truly baffling career decisions for an actor who’s always so likeable.

I think everyone expected that this movie was going to be fundamentally broken at its core but it’s still a bit disheartening to see after they took the character design criticism to heart

Do it right and shovel.

I have a fascination with #vanlife, full time RVing, overlanding, ect ect. and one common denominator I’ve noticed is how damn much money people ask for stuff like this. Considering how little it would cost to buy a clean Econoline and retrofit it with a few amenities, it makes me wonder if there’s any money ready to…

As they say, first impressions matter. The current design was created to send a specific message. That we aren’t uncultured barbarians while still hinting at our big stick.

I disagree. A lot of this is context.

Easily the best thing I’ve read here in ages.  Thanks for this!

aw thanks!

Max, that's FANTASTIC work. Well done.

Wow that’s old. It’s old enough to have the words Electronic Arts instead of EA. And this used to be a great logo to see when starting up a new game. 

I suppose it’s just a coincidence that the website is registered to one Mason Torjinsky. Is that your Tyler Durden?
