I have no idea whether you’re serious or not, and, if serious, I have no idea whether you’re insane or not (iyswim).

The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is that his name wasn’t Henry Porter.

Was Titans on Netflix in the US? It was in the UK, so I’m vaguely hopeful that this’ll turn up too.

Hell, yes. It’s omission made me sad. Somehow, the ineptness of maneuvering your character was part of the experience.

I don’t know enough of the games on this list to really comment, but I was sad not to see “Alone in the Dark.”

BTW Interesting article in today’s Guardian on the history and meaning of blackface in the US...

Yeah. I mean, “Why do you never work with X?” would have been tolerable and more rational (well, same thing).

LOL. That needs to be in a film.

I’m ridiculously pleased, since “Episcopalian” is one of my favorite words.

I have to say, having sort-of binge-watched up to this episode over the past week, these reviews and grades seem a bit harsh. The pacing has seemed pretty tight to me; and the goofiness is at least consistent goofiness; the action sequences nicely done. If Amy and, arguably, Dumont, are weak-spots, they’re never less…

I think this ignores the agency of the Victorians - they essentially built these things to be scary - they weren’t that removed from the aesthetic romantic movement, which sought, to a certain extent, the haunted and the desolate.

You can find horror and terror in almost any environment, given the right script and…

I like your optimism. Maybe that really is the best way to come to terms and be at peace with this insanity. 

I think you’re essentially right - but then I think going up to random nazis and punching them is wrong, so I’m probably a nazi afaict.

I just have this vague feeling that, if the only difference between you and your enemy lies in your ideology and not in your actions, then you are the enemy.

Support for this is immoral…

Someone’s probably said this somewhere further down the thread, but WTH?

I don’t think the problems are really “things that won’t make sense if this is the first MCU film you’ve seen” - in fairness, the whole point of the MCU, and particularly the Avengers films, is that that’s a given. You might as well recommend that…

Double standards exist, but this ain’t one of them. It should be obvious that Gunn clearly doesn’t support paedophilia, and that Hart clearly was being homophobic.

“Playful immaturity” is a fairly damning phrase if that’s all you’ve got to offer for this kind of crap, given that it can be applied to anything from pissing on a wino to DUI. Save that crap for falling off a roof and breaking your arm or stealing road signs.

It’s taking the piss, which makes him a twat. It’s like aggressive tax avoidence using a fake charity. 

Heh. I posted links to three of his reviews somewhere in this section. 

I love everything about this story, including that I’m offered a link to a Mountain Goats album review.

Is there a scene where a character who works in copywrite decides not to try and extend things that should have fallen into the public domain years ago for another billion years? Because fuck Disney.
