It was a phenomenal ending. To culminate such a sad, despondant story with a Borgeisian reflection on beauty and loss -well, it was just as sad as the rest of the book, but so lovely. 

This is true. As I said above, my point is more directed at the original poster specifically who posts on every thread about Star Wars with insufferable Real Fans screed. I should be the adult and ignore it, since it does not matter one iota, but it’s the internet and so I don’t.

Because the world is an unjust place and the scales bow low to punish the innocent and rise up to protect the guilty.

I enjoyed most of the set pieces and the character designs, but if that kind of wankfest connect the dots fan service is your ideal storytelling, no wonder you hate The Last Jedi.

I’m liking the direction they’re taking this new Assassin’s Creed movie.

Seriously. That movie had exactly one thing going for it and it’s the thing you just said.

Steering the Batmobile with one hand, hold a tumbler spilling over with Canadian Club in the other.

There isn’t that much, really. He posted the news on his Twitter, but he didn’t write a sendoff on the site.

By nearly any applicable definition of the word, barring the super rich, I feel pretty comfortable calling him a successful person.

Christ, who knew a successful old white guy could be out of touch?

You say that as if the most insufferable arguments coming from nerddom aren’t specifically because so many people are unable to let go of their childhood pop culture. I mean, god help me if need to age up a cartoon from my childhood to find satisfying adult entertainment.

I’ve seen comments on other post-buyout reviews that made it sound like he’s still submitting reviews, but of course that’s all unverified fifth-party information.

I like this strategy of bringing Vishnevetsky back for reviews just frequently enough so we can’t ever get over his leaving.

1. Not liking the animation style is fine. The number of complaints about people not liking the animation style because of the claim it erases conventional femininity and replaces it with a mannish protagonist is too frequent and too disturbing to be ignored.

Jimmy Johns is the Paul Rudd in Wet Hot American Summer being asked to pick up his lunch tray of sandwiches.

In light of this obvious disrespect of the fans, I hereby declare I am accepting anonymous donations to crowdfund a fan-sourced remake of episode 13 of The Simpson’s sixth season. So far, we have been promised $6 billion in funding.

I do like character exploration, especially for long-running franchises, as a way to explore what the essence of that character is. Either by playing around with their persona or dropping them in different environments or what have you. But there are far fewer enthusiastic pulp fantasy shows right now than pensive…

I do enjoy Facebook as a way to stay in touch with people who I like, but that I realistically otherwise just wouldn’t, but I know I’ve been using it less. Part of it is definitely an exponential chain reaction. Other people are using it less, which is less incentive for me to check it out. IT’s all cumulative. It…

Yeah, I’d be down for a Krull revival. The evil warriors that were actually slugs in some sort of biomechanical body, the castle that teleports every morning, magic is real and powerful, but finicky and tough to master, giant rococo throwing stars, cyclops, Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane. The show probably wouldn’t have…

While I’m all for a fantasy show that plays around with and deconstructs certain tropes of the genre, if I’m watching Conan, it’s because I want to see a dude whale on an evil frog wizard with an axe in some primordial swamp.
