As someone who has watched every (yeah, EVERY) film in Nicolas Cage’s filmography, I can safely say his most unhinged performance is actually as Eddie in 1993's Deadfall. This is a film that also stars Michael Biehn, James Coburn, Peter Fonda, Talia Shire, and Charlie Sheen and yet manages to suck so fucking bad it…

Spoiler: you will push a button an infinite number of times, and every ten thousand times you push it, you will get an item that has higher numbers on it than something else you have equipped. When you reach the point where you have the best numbers you can possibly get, they’ll add new items with bigger numbers.  That…

You know what I’ve found as I get older? The more developers try to out of their way to create an endless gameplay loop, the less likely I am to engage with it. Give me a solid game that is just fun to play, don’t force me into unskippable cutscenes upon repeated playthroughs of the story, and I’ll put 300 hours into…

I certainly didn’t realize it until many years later but my favorite bits of trivia about TMNT is always that while Daredevil was trained by Stick and fights the Hand, the turtles were trained by Splinter and fight the Foot.

Yeah, the original iteration was gritty but it had a self aware sense of humour.

The presumption in this country is innocence.

I don’t care how much they push this tech, VR will fail as long as it needs big devices strapped to your head that are more uncomfortable than wearing a pair of glasses. Meta will lose millions on 2023.

The million dollar question for me with these things is always “will it fit comfortably over my glasses?” and for all the other headsets I’ve tried, the answer is something between “meh” and “oh hell no”.

really hope there are raft/ladder interludes in the series! /s

I hope there are like 30 Ringer podcasts about this show

I bounced off The Last of Us pretty hard the one time I tried playing it, but as somebody who has been working his way through the various PlayStation exclusives from the last ten years and has just finished the four main Uncharted games, I’m thinking about taking another look.

I don’t really think HDTGM fits with those other two.  They aren’t live riffing anything.   Also I need you work to also account for We Hate Movies and Cinematic Titanic

Tangentially related and entirely opinion:

Weird take, Levi. I don’t think anyone here wanted Rockstar to sully (or even water down) the GTA franchise just as it was taking off. Plus timing wise, Eminem was still shooting 8 Mile and Rockstar was turning around Vice City in a year or less, so they probably wouldn’t have been the ones to write the movie, not…

Thank gawd we judged that bullet!

And nothing of potential value was lost.

Probably a very wise decision.

I’m too astonished that Netflix would let a genre show make it to a fourth season to even have an opinion on recasting the lead.

One of the wildest things to me is a lot of the so called “pro-union” people are all ignoring that the scale rate is what was collectively bargained for by the union. Taylor was offered significantly above scale. I am hard line pro-union, and rates (and other protections) should increase, but this is not the way to go…

That’s why there’s more to the story than just one side. You don’t “cheap out” when you go with Jennifer Hale. Her resume is massive. She’s more experienced. She’d cost much more.
