as for other characters who also need their own shows

Insomniac: “Our game is more than just Spider-Arkham!”

People who were disappointed that it “wasn’t true” missed the point. I watched Blair Witch knowing full well that it was a work of fiction and to this day still consider it the scariest movie ever made. It is an extremely effective deployment of the “don’t show, just imply” philosophy that also made Hitchcock a…

Oh, just fuck off with your adulation for a show that begins and ends at a faeces joke. It’s one thing to enjoy dumb humour; it’s another thing to try to elevate it beyond the kind of crass bullshit it really is.

I mean, I’ve always known the show nosedived after Season 9, but this is interesting to read. (I remember watching the Season 10 premiere, about grease-selling, and thinking how awful it was.)

Is the answer “by sucking”? Because that would seem like the obvious answer.

Just watched this and I was - no exaggeration - five minutes in when I started to wonder if it was a prank by Dunham/Konner. But then I landed on the only possible conclusion: in making a series about deeply unlikeable people, they’re trying to retroactively make Hannah et al. look like exemplary human beings in…

This is not the first time Star Trek has jumped that far into the future. Aside from the many Daniels visits on Enterprise, one of my all-time favourite Voyager episodes is similar to what Calypso appears to be aiming at:

People are crazy to complain about that finale. It was the last episode of Star Trek on TV for the foreseeable future (which proved to be a long time, as it turned out) so they wanted to cap it off with a throwback to arguably the most beloved series, and certainly one more liked than Enterprise itself, which was…

Navigating Arthur through the world is less like controlling a video game character and more like giving directions to an actor.

I can’t wait to get righteously indignant about all the continuity errors and violations of Star Trek canon!

but all the Aztecs will be offended!

who for some reason can’t find a skirt that covers her whole butt.

Although the causes appear to be different, this really reminds me of exploitation of visual effects teams in Hollywood. There, too, staff are routinely underpaid and overworked, with little acknowledgement of the problem, and (unsurprisingly) burnout, not to mention the closure of whole VFX companies when they can’t…

Yeah, I mean, it’s not indifference. It’s “we’re going to stop buses full of Black seniors to prevent them from voting.” People want to vote. Republicans just don’t want to let them.

1962 natch :)

I mean, I basically played the whole game in the Scarlet Spider suit, so I’m not complaining. Buuuttt it would be nice to get Ben’s other costume in there at some point:

I wish this article made it clear what kind of politics. Is it of the “Trump is evil and we should be talking about it” variety, or more like the “SJWs are lame lol” kind. It’s weird that Kotaku doesn’t explain.

what the fuck is stan culture
