Maybe because the entire climax of her solo movie is her being tempted by apathy and resentment but deciding that there are things worth fighting for in this world. Maybe that’s why that doesn’t make sense. You can’t have the first movie end with her having her true moment of heroic realization and the next one reveal…

I’m definitely not for padding games’ length either, but I think about it this way: when you compare those two types of games you talk about (great four hour experiences versus thirty-fifty hour slogs) I’d say that neither of them are worth a full AAA price. The former might be worth between $15 and $35, but the…

It’s one thing to have a pay-to-win economy . . . if it’s a free-to-play game. I’ll play Planetside 2 for fun and if I get killed by someone who spent money on it, it doesn’t hurt as badly because I know I didn’t pay money myself for the game. So if I want to be really competitive, I can buy some credits. Or I can…

“Rainbow Six: Siege has built quite the playerbase on the loot box model before Overwatch hit stores.”

From what I understand (slight spoilers about JL that I saw in another review) part of the setup for this movie for Wonder Woman is that she “disappeared” for the interim between her movie and JL, so even if the solo movie itself had a good handle on who she is, it doesn’t sound like JL does. It might be most accurate…

I can see where you’re coming from. Those issues you name are all very important. I would say that they have importance in an immediate livelihood sort of way, while the collusion stuff also has importance, in a long-distance but “fundamental to democracy, slippery slope” kind of way.

I don’t know if I’m quite as down…

“Ha ha, because you said it was bad, that means the movie is not bad!”

A sucking chest wound is better than Batman V Superman

Re: the writing team, Warner Brothers needs to lose David Goyer’s phone number as quickly as possible.

Most movies with the term “violent diarrhea” in their reviews are not good, as a matter of course. Except for, I suppose, Dumb and Dumber. 

I live in a state with statues of Nathan Bedford Forrest around, so I wouldn’t complain too much if I were you.

Are you suggesting he’s come down with George Lucas Disease?

There’s some people who might say that CinemaSins could measure their success by the number of people who try to loudly criticize, latch onto, or slightly alter their videos to get views for themselves. Obviously, they’re doing something right if this many people are talking about them.

They’re not brilliant comedians…

I do read his stuff on occasion, I thought he did great work when there was all that speculation about Russians hacking Eastern power grids that he effectively debunked. I don’t know if I would disagree with you that there is room for skepticism. I just feel his long periods of silence on the Russia issue when serious…

Just off the dome, Brandon whathisname forcing his employees to work crazy hours without pay to get the game out the door is slighlty more crazy than the fact that he wanted his next wide-release game to be entitled “Whore of the Orient”.

Technically, there are multiple ways to “solve a case” in the sense that if you screw up the interrogations badly enough, the game puts you in an action scene to railroad you to the next clue. But car chases have the Driver problem of you “losing sight” of the car if it gets more than two blocks ahead of you,…

Just goes to show how his version of events still wins out among his set. That was the narrative he set up through his show, his stand-up: “I’m a dumb guy who compulsively masturbates.” And his friends, while at least not calling the women liars, are perfectly willing to perpetuate that same narrative, his narrative.…

I think it was Frontline that did a fantastic history of Wikileaks and interviewed some of the people who have left the organization over the least decade or so, who seem to all have an incredibly negative view of Assange. Pretty much anyone who knows him and talks about him publically talks about how much of a…

That impulse makes reading Glenn Greenwald basically impossible. He’ll ignore a staggering amount of evidence of Russia collusion to shit on corporate media for talking about it. I get that he has beef with the American media, the Democrats under Obama, and the intelligence services over the Snowden affair. But he’s…

My favorite part of the clip was Hannity saying the “inconsistencies . . . that I [meaning Hannity] showed”. Like he was the one who broke the story, or something. He didn’t engage in investigative journalism! He just asked the guy whether he tried to molest children and the guy didn’t say “no”. That was a freebie!
