I mean, your issues with juan as a commentor aside, Ghostbusters 2016 wasn’t very good, at least IMO. I mean, the performers are all great, but it never really develops any stong story or character arc, because everyone’s just too busy ad-libbing. I’m sure it was a blast to film, but it desperately could have used

Finally, Taylor Swift can get some well-earned rest.

Now playing

I like bits and pieces of that live-action Watchmen series, but yeah, I was a bit disappointed that it just goes back to Watchmen fanservice. DC has this bizarre notion that the “heroes” of the Watchmen world are franchise-able. I mean, I do believe that you can make still something interesting from something borne

I haven’t seen the special but I came here to state something very important:

There are also a few wry digs at Disney cartoons and the grueling process of animation.

Marvel TV alum Ali

That would be nice, too, but it’s probably not entirely practical unless you want to put a delay after each speaking turn.

I have problems with that, but I’ve come to the conclusion that that is just the norm these days with the very bipartisan nature of Congress.

What if my avatar [*tries to figure out exactly what that Kinja nonsense is*] actually is a pixelated mess? 

That was the other possibility I was thinking of.

I’ve been on a bit of a nostalgic Faith No More bender, so “Epic”, “Falling To Pieces”...honestly any track off of The Real Thing.

That may be my all-time favorite TMBG track (at this precise moment). It’s the most upbeat song about a dissolution of a relationship.

It is one of the things I appreciate about living in a college town: college radio. I may not always like whatever they are playing, but occasionally, I’ll discover something that causes me to stop and wait for the DJ to come on air again so I can find out what just played.

“Poptimism” has been around music criticism for some time. It has even been around the AVC well even before the mass exodus of writers back in 2013. Mostly, I pay it no mind—different strokes for different folks, different quirks for different jerks—but I do get annoyed when it feels like the writer is just dumping

I didn’t know she had a new album out.  I may have to check that out.

I suppose it was released last year, but it was only early this year that I fell in love with Sweeping Promises’ Good Living Is Coming for You (thanks to Apple Music’s Discovery Queue, of all things).  

I’m aware that technically it probably is closer to SS2, but I never played it--didn’t have a PC back then--so I was wotking with my orn frame of reference.

I am still slowly making my way through Prey. It’s a game that I seem to play in bursts. I will tear through a long play session on a crusade to finish a compelling mission, quit when I hit a frustrating bit, work on completion marks for The Lost in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance to unwind a bit*, and then return to

Until Dawn was one of two reasons I bought a PS4 (Bloodborne is the other), but, yeah, I’m not sure it needs a remaster. It’s been a while since I played it, but it probably looks better than subsequent Supermassive game The Quarry. I suspect this was probably due to it being a joint PS4/PS5 release; the water effects
