“Today it was revealed that Clarence Thomas was given a free yacht vacation to Russia in 2003, complete with a private guided tour of Putin’s hometown, and he kept that information secret for decades.”

I feel like this was true of the Dark Souls games, but Elden Ring is a lot better about not forcing those of us who don’t have perfect reflexes to grind.

All the shock and handwringing over this over the past couple of days has made it perfectly clear that the entertainment pundit class has no black friends. Because this was....not surprising at all.

We can accept that Death is a parrot. We can even accept that in his infinite lifespan, he’s never learned to name five things he can see and four things he can smell to calm himself down

i mean it had problems that were documented at the time but it was a gigantic leap forward in 3D action games and was a huge success.

This is something I read in the YT comments- that yeah the experience was probably fine for a lot of the very rich Disney Adults and TikTok influencers and the like but you burn through those and who’s left? So they had a lot of business at first and then it fell off a cliff. 

I haven’t read the novel it’s based on, but I think I’d like to watch this, if only to get a better sense of how others see us Canadians. If the movie digs into the weirdness that is Canadian identity, and how it’s so frequently defined and framed around “not American” (at least in my experience), then it’s already…

Oh, Attack of the Clones is way better than Wrath of Khan.

Lucas fumbled the ball out the back of the damn end zone.

I think The Phantom Menace was the best anyone could expect out of pure, unadulterated George Lucas. He needs the Gary Kurtzes and Marcia Lucases of the world to keep him in check, and no one on TPM was willing to do that. I also think that what Lucas does well he does excellently in TPM, and I still get bolts of joy…

Check and check.

much as i loathe STD (aka the Michael Burnham Experience), it can hardly be said that Star Trek is dead. Strange New Worlds is going strong, there’s a new Starfleet Academy teen drama coming. Lower Decks is an animated hit and Prodigy seems to have survived. There’s that extremely random Michelle Yeoh TV movie coming…

People have been hate-watching Doctor Who since loooong before the invention of Reddit (or indeed the coining of the term “hate-watching”).

“Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey...stuff” is the exact level of science I need from the show,

“shift from pure sci-fi to fantasy”? Doctor Who has been squarely in the fantasy camp for the vast majority of it airtime.  

A fact that he recognizes and plays off of (or collaborates with Che to play off of, anyway).

I would agree with the basic premise of this, but while the show has been very good, I think it’s just not a high bar to be the best X-men adaptation of all time, because most of them leave a lot to be desired.

It kinda depends on what you liked the most about the series.
