Yeah, you’re right, it’s fair that Bridgette isn’t just walking around talking about being hungry all the time. She has a lot of diverse dialogue, and a lot of it is great.

With due respect, this is an overly generalized and not-connected-to-the-bigger-point statement, I think.

This is an utterly delightful piece and absolutely not what I was expecting going into it. I feel like I’ve learned more about him here than through my entire life of pop culture musings.

This looks like an affecting and interesting game! One thing that bugs me though is that often write-ups like this lack some vital context....what is this game...on? When did it come out? How do I play it? We don’t necessarily need the consumer review, but context would be helpful!

Agree that “Bloods” is heavy-handed and bombastic. It almost turns into a damn horror b-movie half way through. And it’s awkward at times, flat out ridiculous at others. But that’s vastly what Spike Lee was going for, no doubt. Spike’s direction is as subtle as his characters (which is to say not at all), and therein…

End of an era. Who will be the new EiC?

Sure, but the optics are terrible, wouldnt you agree? Especially when you match the absolute vigor behind the ROM thing versus the drawn out waffling of the sex abuse stuff.

PARADISE KILLER is unabashedly a top 3 GOTY for me in a stacked field. It’s a shame not that many people have taken a chance on it - I spent the first couple hours utterly confounded before  I just gave in to the atmosphere. Now I wish so badly I could go back to that crazy little island. 

This is such a good review, Ash! I yet I am still torn between what is undoubtedly a substandard experience and my fanaticism for the source material...exactly like you were.

I agree with this take...but in JJ’s defense, HE was the one who cast Boyega and HE was the one who helped invent the character. So it makes perfect sense that from Boyega’s perspective, he’d feel as if Abram’s trajectory was disrupted and thereofore, as was his character’s development. And it was! (Not to atom bomb a…

Just want to add that Yoku’s Island Express, a truly exceptional game, is like $4 on humble bundle right now.

Oh, it wasn’t her fault, it was the fault of all the leaders she chose to represent her at the highest level of her professional existence, that’s a relief.

Maybe someone smarter than me can explain this, but during the primaries, Biden tripped backwards through a thorn bush and in between two movers holding a plane of glass to get the nomination over Bernie, almost exclusively because he had Black voters basically unanimously vote for him.

If Bojack’s “The View From Halfway Down” loses to any of those others episodes, and I’ve seen them all, that category is not worth the paper it’s printed on.

Say what?

I would say I like Dave quite a bit more than I thought I would, this despite not wanting to buy into Lil Dicky’s tired schtick. But given this show is set on exploring the problematic satirical white rapper trope at least a moderate amount, it made it much easier to enjoy the otherwise engaging cast and solid…

I’m not “shitting” on MK64 or Double Dash, which are both excellent in different ways. They’re just nowhere near as competitive or well designed, Double Dash especially so.

Hardcore fans will note that Mario Kart Wii, while initially being thought of as a bit of breezy entry, turned out to be one of the most hardcore entries in the entire series. Certainly it’s better than Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash in every single way other than nostalgia.

My issue with new Simpsons episodes isn’t that they don’t make me laugh....they often do. There are always solid jokes in there.

If this was my voice acting reel, based on how many brains these lines are permanently seared into, I’d never have to audition for a job again. RIP dude.
