This was an astonishingly good year for video games, if not always the culture around them. The best games were confident, experimental, thoughtful, surprising, and entirely sincere. Wolfenstein II had a deranged vision about the horrors of American Nazism and what was needed to fight it, but it was also one it fully…

Another one of the five Google Play subscribers here... the mobile app and web player are better than Spotify.

Spotify sucks at queuing. You can only add to the end of a queue. With Google Play, I have a “play next” option. So if I have a queue of 20 songs or so, but I decide I really want to listen to “The Humpty…

“Have you ever tried... not being a predator?”

I imagine it really depends on the chair.

“There is a difference (a huge difference) between Harvey Weinstein and Dustin Hoffman.” Absolutely. Just as huge as the difference in the reaction. Thing is, though, both behaved shamefully and both will be shamed. Harvey will go to jail too, hopefully, when it’s all said and done. There’s zero chance of something…

I’m sorry, let me make the same statement with “voluntary manslaughter” as the modifier. Or how about shoplifting and serial burglary, or careless arson and serial arson, etc.

He has a point. Harvey is a serial abuser. As far as we know right now (because 80 women haven’t come out against him), Hoffman was momentarily crude. What Hoffman did was wrong, but it doesn’t seem like it was behaviour he repeated throughout his career. There is a difference (a huge difference) between Harvey…

Do you even read what you say before you hit publish? Are you the same Colonel guy who used to have the avatar with the guy in the shades? I’m not defending Allen, genius. I’m attacking the mentality that your ilk have. I don’t care if Allen murdered 1000 children, doesn’t make you a good person or what you say…

“Don’t listen to that one guy’s opinion. Have a mind of your own and listen to these twenty other people’s opinions.”

Don’t be such a sheep and have your own opinion, the movie has a 96% on rotten tomatoes and you read one negative review and then you “don’t know if you want to waste your money”? So you only spend money on movies with 100% unanimous praise? Paddington 2 has 100% right now so have a great time!!!

Welp I’m officially ready for this movie even tho Thanos looks like Rick from Pawn Stars.

Why is it every time I see a post from recognitions there’s almost always one followed by you and it’s disproportionately vicious?

You’re an idiot and no one on earth cares what you think about anything.

Lord, didn’t Norm have himself a handful with Carrey. Carrey is a talented actor, but it seems like he takes himself way too seriously and spends a lot of time trying to act like he doesn’t.

That’s the spirit.

I’m still campaigning to take all the Naked Gun movies and digitally replace O.J. Simpson with Maya Angelou.

Great. So will you be reporting on those meetings for the AV Club, and in doing so also addressing directly to the staff stories like the one I linked above in my OP, where a current organizer apparently told Jill Lewis they would absolutely would not be discussing this stuff or her own experience with harassment at…

Issues of awful programmers behavior aside, if you are worried about being triggered, maybe don’t go to a genre festival that celebrates the likes of horror and exploitation?

Because it’s of sincere interest to people into cult movies, the history of porn, film, Ed Wood, etc?

Ok, is this super naive? I don’t understand the correlation between watching an unseen Ed Wood porn movie and the harassment going on. Why would one fuel so many issues with the other? Can people really not separate the two things (fascinating cinematic artifact of historic value with actual real life sexual…
