I am so bored of stories that should have been movies inexplicably being turned into a 7-10 episode limited series that get forgotten about in fifteen minutes. Make a goddamn movie! Everyone involved clearly wants to make a movie and doesn’t actually want to make a television show, because these shows have nothing to…

I’m also never gonna begrudge a star for being paid well to spend three weeks on a low-intensity film shoot made by folks who famously have kept sets positive and loose. Working on a Adam Sandler comedy sounds fun as hell, the only drawback is that you end up making an Adam Sandler comedy.

She’d be overqualified if there were any other big-budget comedies coming out, but Sandler’s basically the only game in town for that genre at this point. Same reason why all the SNL alumni aren’t out of place — what else are they going to do with their careers other than be in Adam Sandler movies? Studios only put…

I was using “broken” as a synonym for “obviously rushed and poorly designed to the point of being frustrating”, which you’re right, are two different things. Pachinko is definitely broken, but the other ones really do feel like weird afterthoughts that didn’t get any attention or polish.

Honestly, the promise of Robert Pattinson committing entirely to a terrible Southern accent is the first thing I’ve heard that makes me want to watch this movie. They should use that as a marketing blurb.

I’m a big Sunshine defender, but there are like ten different levels in that game that are completely broken. Pachinko, the lilypad level with the poison water, the watermelons... I think that it’s the only first party Nintendo game that has quality dips and extreme jank like that.

Wow, a lot of the male fashion here is... rough. 2006 was SO LONG AGO.

Yeah, I’d push back on Stubborn Defiance vs. Death Defiance— I find it much better to have multiple lives to use on the Hades + Theseus fights than being able to die once every room. The nameless guy in Elysium will refill your lives, which makes getting through the endgame much more feasible. But usually, if I’m…

we’ve all known for a while that he’s saying “so long, King Bowser” with a weird compression glitch that made “king” sound like “gay”. but it’s still a weird thing that got left in the game, which is why it’s interesting. simmer down.

this is kinda a hilariously British-casted movie, the accents are going to be buckwild.

that’s a pretty shallow and dumbass critique from the brains behind Kris Kross

on the one hand, “stormfront” is the least subtle thing on the planet. on the other, 👏 Aya 👏 Cash 👏 owns 👏

Yes, and the prettiness actually goes a long way towards making it feel like it felt to play those games at the time. Really, really perfect remake. I don’t want anything more or less.

It’s also kinda an interesting situation because American movies are so popular in China. If you’re a huge fan of Matt Damon in The Martian, wouldn’t you want to see him in more movies, and wouldn’t it be cool to see him in a domestic movie? Since Americans typically don’t watch foreign movies (or movies produced…

I mean, it’s Mulan. It’s an established children’s movie, based on a 6th century Chinese folktale. Mulan doesn’t overthrow the Communist Party and impose democracy, Mulan joins the military and fights the huns for the honor of her father and the king. 

“wet and gushy” is SO MUCH WORSE!!

I mean, they probably made this game for approximately zero money. DP1 was incredibly niche, and it’s a miracle they even made a DP2. 

Somehow, it’s already Irresistible.

Semi-retirement was probably a harsh way to put it, he “took a step back” to focus on business and production. But he hasn’t been really been acting at all since Snowden. Two really, really light voice cameos in The Last Jedi and Knives Out (for his buddy Rian Johnson), a short film, and a voice role on Comrade…

it is absolutely bonkers that Joseph Gordon-Levitt came out of semi-retirement (this is his first real role since 2016) for a mediocre (and racist?) low-budget German thriller directed by a filmmaker making his feature debut. I am so curious about the story behind this.
