I celebrate the entire Has Fallen franchise. Nothing wrong with these movies.

White people warning (from recent experience): when putting together a Spotify playlist for a 90s / early 00s themed dance party, know that if you put Country Grammar on there you are going to be appropriating a LOT of n-words at the end.

Thomas Middleton…2 words…21 Olde Globe Way…the real author of Shakespeare's works is at the Globe Theater!

which happens all the time due to an error in Civ 1 which caused India's aggression rating to actually go negative, which caused him to become MegaHitler. Later editions kept Asshole Gandhi in as a tribute of sorts.

You can be Ashoka in Civ IV.

I just can't buy a Civ game at full price any more. The customer-funded bugfix and AI improvement projects that usually take up the first year of a release are too much. It sucks to wait a year but the game of year edition will eventually be on sale on steam and will represent a finished game.

yeah, that subplot hasn't aged well

Yeah, nothing nostalgia can do against driverless trucks.

I think he has a line that literally says "We're all going to die." Given that belief, he chose to go out on his own terms.

I wouldn't think it was possible, but that Black Jeopardy skit was sort of…sweet?

I know it's considered a classic, but I find Conan 82 almost unwatchable. Gerry Lopez is so awful in it.

the crumbly stone wall and craggy landscape is all The North, but the obelisk-brazier thing hints of southron decadence.

Uh, she was a flawless Dame Vaako.

it's not cheating, they aren't humans.

Lag would be a problem. Although perhaps the wise people of the future have repealed the Telecom Act of 96.

I think it's two real pros putting different, fantastic glosses on the same character based on the different mediums they were working in. Hopkins had to establish Lector's menace in a few pages of dialogue, so of course it's more overt and broad. It's also incredibly effective. Mikkelsen had hours of camera time and

Already looking forward to 2015.

What can you even say about it other than "this is the Platonic ideal of an action movie."

Predator is such a gorgeous-looking movie. If you ignore the mayhem it almost looks like a Terrance Malick movie.

Sorry - the big white space I put in the window didn't translate to the commment.
