The funny thing is, in the same multiplex AMC can have one screen with a great front row and one screen without. It really depends on the auditorium. I’ve found myself sitting closer because it avoids being distracted when people in my sightline pull out their phones. Or have to get up.

And it’s not like this character can’t work, because we’ve seen The Walking Dead do it all the time. But this might be the first instance between the shows where TWD is a little better than TLoU at finding the right fit.

There’s a moment. When Ellie pulls out the joke book (the true star of the episode), and starts reading off, there’s a moment on Joel’s face, where its as if he’s looking into the future, and he knows how long this journey is going to be and realizing this is his life now, lol. Before finally saying “nope!” It is the…

Personally, Sebastian is in my Top 10, but I think this list was kind of fun!

Yes to all of these points. I was put off by how Tess’ death was “re-imagined” since this new change seemed only in service of being needlessly exploitative. Instead of going out like a boss in the original, they’re pinning her against the wall and evoking images of violation.

Lol. My thoughts exactly. Imagine if Dr. Anthony Fauci walked in the room, looked around, and immediately said time to pack it all up! It's over. Well thanks for coming by, I guess.

Marcel the Shell is adorable, but how does a movie that uses real life backgrounds (it was shot completely live-action, with the stop motion composited later) qualify as an animated feature?

Not addressing the elephant in the room is how criticism works now. Don’t be objective about things your viewers might be wondering. Take a moral stance and project that onto your readers.

Yea that comment is pretty rich considering its actually the show that had more expository filler, and the game was more concise in its opening act at getting to the point... But I mean, this is how it’s going to be.

Unless it too will have a theme song by Imagine Dragons, there’s no topping Arcane

Ellie is bland and boring in Part 2. They were probably just planning ahead.

I wasn’t as high on Uncharted 4 as others, but the cutscenes were incredibly engaging and it nearly brought a tear to my eye because I can’t believe how far games have come. That said, I still say Rockstar is the best in the industry at storytelling. Red Dead 2 was next level. They can do the characters, narratives,…

S2I’m with the author on this, though in my view, when an IP is ‘squandered’ it has nothing to do with money, and everything to do with how they used their concepts. Halloween Ends squandering their swan song for both Michael and Laurie is such a perfect example.

Recent examples? We are distressingly seeing it in the real world, and in politics, but pop culture seems to be behaving themselves.

“I must look away before I get a Bono” made me chuckle. Imagining that voice, a completely innocent photo of Dr. Jill Biden and the U2 of it all paints a funny picture.

Having only just watched it for the first time this Halloween, I was struck by how ‘romantic’ the character sometimes felt. Not unlike Dracula a little bit. I was also really impressed with the effects. All the bee stuff looked real.

If we’re always asking people to vote with their wallets, then I think it is worth contemplating. Avoiding doing so all but ensures box office failure will just happen again. But it’s complicated.

You’re not wrong about there being some degree of consumer rejection (I saw plenty of ads for this movie, so that’s not an excuse in my market). But collectively I think the trend continues to be that people just want nothing but name recognition if they’re going to go out and watch something, and anything else will…

On my screen, they wedged a sign-up ad in that very spot; Probably hoping people wouldn’t notice.
