No one has to like this movie, but it bums me out reading takes like this because it completely neglects what a poetic, rhythmic movie this is with such a strong economy of character and a rich mythology that Miller actually trusts the viewer to intuit instead of belabor in reams of exposition. It’s a supremely…

Hahaha! Hi!

True, but evil really does confer some Dark Side of the Force durability. Hate is a dirty energy, but it keeps the engine full. Rush Limbaugh is still alive despite being a sedentary flan that has pills and cheeseburgers periodically pushed into it’s cytoplasm and Jim Henson died of a cold at 57. 

I think about my own propensity towards easy or escapist movies and how I could stand to try a little harder, but even reading this review is a raw nerve.

I don’t even particularly dislike B&W, but I’m glad this isn’t getting made. The Jedi, like Han Solo are so completely self-explanatory that delving into their history feels more reductive than illuminating.

I’m sure they’re very worried about the well-reviewed movie he made that earned them gobs of money.

I am astonished by Rizov’s constitution for watching these things. The only way I could possibly watch five minutes of this, much less the whole thing, is if some berserk viking impaled me to the theater chair with a spear.

Like a shark, if Michael Bay’s camera ever stops moving, it dies.

This is a good reminder that greater representation in media doesn’t just allow wider stories to be told, it’s going to allow them to be told better.

Sure. But it’s not the amount of time, it’s how that time is spent. If you dig it, that’s rad, I just don’t feel like trading attacks with a golem back and forth for six hours.

I remember that swamp armor hunt. What a pain in the ass. Yeah, I’m glad these older titles are being preserved, for sure. I just can’t imagine enjoying playing this particular one.

I’m making the wanking motion to this so hard I gave myself tennis elbow. She was targeted for doing shit because she’s a woman, and ironic-but-not-really mustache guy should have been deplatformed.

If only she had the foresight to do so in a public bathroom while screaming racial epithets, she would have been a-ok.

I never played two or three, but as a proud owner of my free Nintendo Power subscription copy of Dragon Warrior, I can’t imagine playing more than fifteen minutes of that game today. While the monster designs remain both charming and impressive for a NES game, the random encounters combined with the single player,…

The way nerddom has been so completely enveloped in consumption is another thing I’ve been thinking about lately. I mean sure, it’s always been the case that it costs money to buy products, but the amount of identity-defining mass-produced garbage is truly absurd. This is a separate issue from the entrenched racism,…

Hahaha! What an asshole. It’s a hell of a thing that the biggest emissaries of this hobby are a fucking gaggle of racists, bad-faith grifters, and emotionally stunted perma-adolescents.

Ugh. Jesus. I’m so sorry to hear that. My father-in-law has (undiagnosed, because he couldn’t possibly think something is wrong with him) NPD and it just sucks the air out of everything when he’s around. Not surprisingly, my wife’s parents are divorced and he still has no idea why they actually split up. The elaborate…

I am looking forward to Marriage Story with the same mixture of anticipation and dread as if it were a horror movie.

Naw, it’s funny. No need to get your cantankerous self all worked up.
