Reminds me of the sniper from New Vegas. "I hate the Legion!" *runs right into a camp, headshotting 30 dudes before I even get my rifle out*

I'm kind of missing the super-long cutscenes, to be honest. They helped me glom onto the stories, even if the cutscenes very often repeated themselves again and again.

The fact that Hayter sounds like a very light parody of action movie dudes voices is part of the joke and I love it. He's literally named after Snake Plissken!

I felt like the B&B Corps in MGS4 was well-handled, except for the "you killed me, now I orgasm" scream. How you kill them, and then immediately after, your partner calls you on the codec to tell you about all the horrible shit they went through, trying to squeeze some final sympathy out of you, was really masterful…

His psychiatrist returns home to his half tentacle monster, half hologram wife and cackles about how "boring" his client is.

Yeah, that's where I kind of forgive him from time to time - he legitimately thinks a cutscene with a slow-mo zoom-in on a butt (male or female) is hilarious.

"You did a wonderful job designing that man's butt, Toshiro. Just wonderful. I'm going to throw in a zoom-in of that butt, right before a massacre."
"Uhh, thanks boss."

My girlfriend, walking in the room, seeing the game for the first time: "Why do women even bother with clothes in this game?"

Some games have it inversed, where the clothes they wear usually are fairly conservative compared to some of the bonus warddrobe options.

His prolific nature is way more fascinating than most directors, because he has an insane range. He did a TV show about a serial killer, a stop-motion/live action hybrid comedy about a family who owns a hotel where the patrons keep dying, a bunch of serious, straight-ahead action crime movies, kids fantasy movies, and…

Yep. For a more modern example, see The Mist B&W cut. It makes the effects really palatable and creepy, because in the color cut they're textured funky. B&W hides that stuff beautifully.

We feel disappointed most not in things that truly and horribly miss the mark, but in things that are just off it. X-Files was a great show, so its disappointments rate higher.

Why in the name of christ would you read the article when you can get right to the complaining?

Can we get a Toby Jones in there? I'd like some Toby Jones in there.

Well, FX nekkid, not HBO nekkid.

I imagine a lot of modern viewers going in cold would be very annoyed by how they make the conspiracy SO compelling so early on (the death of Deepthroat is terrific, and that first episode of Season 2 where Mulder has been buried in a neglected department and ends with him almost getting taken out by a government hit…

Yeah, Twilight Zone had episodes that looked just as good as movies of the day as well. Stunning at times.

The fact that he *actually* makes family-friendly movies baffles me. Have you seen The Great Yokai War? I've got to.

Never mention Dennis Leary again and you got yourself a deal!

I've never seen Milennium as an adult, but caught a few episodes as a kid and found the dour, apocalyptic tone of it really entrancing.
