I just hate fan service in storytelling. In my opinion, if I’m going to trust the writer and director to take me somewhere for 2 hours, I’m going to trust their vision on it. Having characters survive in a hellscape just because I liked the character does not seem like a good storytelling device to me. 

I never got this feeling. It’s a harsh as fuck world, why do we need to have allegiance to a character? Let the story go where it goes. Newt mattered, as did everyone else in Aliens, but they just didn’t survive. Do fans think Alien 3 would have been better if the whole gang from Aliens could have been there on the…

Xenomorphs were scary because they were weird and unexplained. Totally “alien” in every sense of the word. The more movies you make about them, the less weird and unexplained they become, so they become less alien. Maybe this property was never meant for a full-blown franchise.

#3 is in keeping with #1, and hated by those who love #2. Since I view #2 as being a less scary dumbed down action movie take (as Cameron’s Rambo script was vs First Blood), I don’t mind Fincher killing off Cameron’s characters (just as Scott killed off all but one of his characters).

Give more men in games skirts and let’s make this perviness properly equal opportunity, thank you very much. Make skirts gender neutral.

Maybe they don't consider it worth the investment until MS comes at em with the gamepass money

Sure. On the other hand, Microsoft is the third largest company in the world. They lead Sony in market cap by 18:1. Do they really need to dominate every industry they touch?

That’s my point: Microsoft charged for MP and Sony didn’t. Microsoft made that the standard just like your assertion that $70 games are a Sony trend that Microsoft is following.

Sony posits a situation in which a new Call of Duty game debuts but is buggier on PlayStation, which it says could lead to gamers choosing to buy the shooter on Xbox in the future

Crazy how many people out here shilling for MSFT like the gaming world will somehow magically be a better place if they can buy ActiBlizz. 

Microsoft was also the first to charge for online multiplayer while Sony didn’t. Microsoft bought Bethesda and then immediately announced Starfield as an Xbox console exclusive. That’s not bringing games to everyone, as Microsoft loves to say. I can easily see Microsoft keeping a regular CoD game on Playstation while…

Maybe talk to your friends about how I should win a billion dollars, please 

The Smiths have been transparent for years about having an open relationship. This is old news. That Will is “humiliated” is your projection of your own morals/self on to him and has no basis in reality. Newsflash - people vary. Just because he’s a Black man does not mean he is going to feel the exact same way about a…

Exactly - there’s nothing ugly or wrong with going bald in and of itself, but we can happily make fun of him obviously thinking it’s a bad thing and lying about it in such a ridiculous way.

I said a while back that this is the funniest part of him being in jail.  I actually find bald men more attractive, in general, but he was obviously pretending this was some “macho” look when in fact he just doesn’t have any hair :( What makes it sad is that he probably spent so much $$$ on rogaine before giving in…

Spaceballs is painful?  That’s it, you’re internet is revoked, go to your room and think about what you’ve done

I’m having a hard time swallowing that Blomkamp should be on this list at all.  He made one bonkers, very original film, and one solid sci-fi movie.  I’m not seeing much since then.

Who in tf are you rambling at?

RT. Absolute waste of time. I don’t know why anyone even references that site. The ‘reviews’ are ridiculously oversimplified and the people who write them tell on themselves constantly, in terms of their personal politics.

I understand the desire to update these stories so a new generation of kids aren’t reading about harmful stereotypes, but editing a dead author’s work is extremely gross and sets a terrible precedent. I don’t need “updated language” when I read an older book. Erasing the sins of the past is also a good way to avoid…
