I know the only thing as popular as complaining about the quality of SNL is criticizing those who complain, but wow, this episode. I’ve watched SNL pretty consistently for over twenty years, and when there’s an exceptionally bad episode I’m generally just disappointed. But this is the first episode to actually make me…

Totally agree about FF6: it was great to meet and collect all the distinct, interesting characters with unique abilities, but once you did there wasn’t a lot fleshed out for them storywise.

Those absolute bastards. I haven’t gotten into a Disgaea game for years as its capacity for completely insane amounts of grinding deeply exploits my near total lack of personal time management, but auto-battling and 8x speed would allow me to excessively grind passively.

This is a bizarre focus. While colonialism was truly horrific, and you’re right to criticize Columbus Day (the man was an idiot and a monster, using his bad math as a justification for intercontinental theft and murder, who got exceptionally lucky and was only baselessly glorified to manipulate religious and patriotic…

Well the metaphor is more that her support cost her a lot less than his support would cost him, suggesting that he thinks he’d get fired if he supported her, which kind of makes it even worse. It means as long as he’s getting paid he doesn’t care what’s happening to anyone else around him.

Yeah, I’d be very paranoid about drawing attention to myself in front of a person whose profession is to make fun of people. Unless the performer’s unusually terrible, he’s going to beat anyone pretty hard in that standoff.

Just like the key to comedy is timing, so is the response.

Look at character representation at tournaments for other games, or even this game in the past. The fact that so, so many people were using Leroy here is an outlier that says something huge - that the character was significantly overpowered. Even if there was another character or two who was a good counterpick to…

Hmmmmmm. While the Marvel TV universe has been a disaster for awhile now, and my trust in them doing something even decent with it has diminished to near zero, I now hope that the reason for these cancellations was in favor of putting their newly-reacquired X-Men assets to use in this space. The X-Men were made for…

It was less that the makeup was lacking and more that the actors had very distinctive features that I don’t think any amount of makeup could change. Also, as I recall, Romulans had rather specific body language and behaviour - rigid, reserved, calculating, suspicious, militant - that this show completely does away…

Did anyone else disagree with their solution? Particularly given that they are all acutely aware of the ease in which people can have their memories erased, reverting to past versions of themselves. Why not just revert an over-blissed person to a previous state? Sure they would lose their memories, but repeated bliss…

I thought the movie was about how the ridiculousness of Hollywood pretentiousness could make someone incredibly stupid, and one strong example of that stupidity was thinking it was okay to do blackface. It wasn’t a caricature of black people, it was a caricature of Hollywood idiocy and obliviousness. Which Megyn has…

There’s a simple reason there wasn’t outrage over this movie in the last ten years since its release, and why any now would be disingenuous or willfully ignorant: the movie makes it exceptionally clear that the joke is about how stupid and up his own ass an actor has to be to think blackface is a good idea. There is…

Yeah, they’re either going to bring him fully back, or just use that as the explanation for the daughters’ memories. But the idea behind it, that they can use some fractal method to extrapolate his entire mind from the smallest piece of it, is pretty dumb.

Like I said, I’m no fan of Hillary, but what is your argument? That she has bad supporters so it’s okay for Bernie to as well? That would mean ceding moral authority from Bernie to her. And from what I can tell this supporter’s badness didn’t have anything to do with politics, and there’s no way to know that she knew…

After watching the first episode, I have the weirdest takeaway: I’m curious about how the casting for actors playing aliens took place in previous iterations versus this one. The Romulan characters here, particularly the one introduced at the end, stick out to me as actors in make-up and prosthetics much more than…

I only saw Captain Marvel recently. I thought it was fine, but I was kind of disappointed in it. I wasn’t sure why at first, until I rewatched other stuff Larson has been in, and realized it’s because I expected more from her. Not that she did a bad job, but that some of her other roles highlight her acting skills a…

I don’t know his whole deal, but how likely is it that the walker is just a really lame attempt to make him look too feeble to have done the horrible things he did?

Even if there is nothing he can do to stop them, him clearly stating that he disapproves of their actions could dissuade some potential new trolls or escalation. But has he spoken out at all about the issue? If not, people will take his silence as permission and only get worse.
