Some sort of Dooga or Doogalina? Preposterous.

I’m sure if I watched the series for the first time as an adult it might not make sense, but it’s been so baked into my experience with the films, it takes deliberate effort for me to imagine it any other way.

Good point!

Last Jedi was for sure the movie that tried the hardest to understand the Force according to its eastern principles and apply it to the ethos of the movies. Which is why it’s among my favorites of the series.

It would be especially interesting if the prequels were essentially the same and so you just ended up with a sort or Scorsese take on the cost of evil.

Yeah, it was a very blunt way to demonstrate just how far he’d fallen. And ultimately, it reinforces the Western nature of the movies. He’s allowed to be redeemed, but he still has to be punished for his transgressions. And death is considered to be the ultimate punishment, despite y’know, happening to everyone. And…

Yeah, but for all the movie’s discussion of the force as embodying these holistic eastern principles, I think it’s fair to say that was largely window dressing and they always existed predominantly as a very dichotomous good vs. evil fairy tale. 

It never occurred to me that someone could read the redemption of Darth Vader as a bad narrative decision. It’s so fundamental to the movies, obviously more so after the prequels, that I can’t register it as poor storytelling.

It’s less an issue with Obi-Wan and baby Luke than The Mandalorian tearing through every single samurai/western trope that would dovetail with this show in it’s first season. So even if they choose not to go with the obvious Yojimbo/Fistful of Dollars that I would so love to see, there are tons of great directions the…

Don’t worry, they’ll be armed with Madcatz controllers with turbo button power to enhance their natural reflexes.

As long as Brady Games strategy guides remain only 50% online, you’re going to need a place to get the hard copy half.

After sporadically watching The Witcher over the last couple of months while folding laundry, I thought I’d revisit Wild Hunt a bit. And loot drops have become the worst aspect of modern game design. They’re kind of an unavoidable consequence the length and complexity of modern games, but it‘s really difficult to get…

Absolutely! I’m sorry, what’s that about a virus?

If you see him, tell him I loved “Bosom Buddies”!

This is great to see. Having done reviews, it was always a little jarring to receive the same flat rate for a 20-50 hour game review as a two hour movie or one hour show.

Fortunately the first Peter Rabbit is so texturally rich that the family and I will continue to unearth new dimensions to the narrative even with the increased viewings we’ll have due to the delay.

If he cooks half as well as he draws, I can’t imagine why these didn’t take off.

Baby powder is fine for application, but then leaves everything coated in a white dusting which ruins one of the key appeals of latex. Silicone shiner both gives the material it’s liquid shine And it’s slippery as fuck, so it just makes sense to use that to sufficiently grease up the material and slide inside.

It’s like google spent millions of dollars to build a monument to how they think video games are dumb.

Have a piece of candy every time they say Drinkyman in the trailer.
