8. Sinister (2012) Ethan Hawke is really good as a very dumb, increasingly desperate writer who bafflingly refuses to turn the lights on when investigating the strange, horrifying shit that happens at night in a house where another family was brutally murdered.

There are so, so many verified diaries of white Union soldiers at the beginning of the war saying "I don't know about this, I condemn the deplorable violence" and then they get down there and see slavery with their own eyes and immediately go "John Brown was right we gotta kill these motherfuckers"

I could pay off all of my credit card debt, get my car fixed, pay a good chunk of my students loans, and have enough left over for several nice dinners

7. Bram Stoker's Dracula The editing, the costumes, the use of color, the blocking, the cast (even Keanu and his accent), the shots. Coppola was cooking out of his mind, man. Not the truest adaptation of the book, but still the best. Tom Waits and Anthony Hopkins are my Renfield and Van Helsing.

6. The Ruins (2008) I'm sure the book is really good, but the film... the film is not. These are the dumbest white people you have ever seen in a horror movie and a single person making one (1) good decision derails this entire plot.

Upon a rewatch, nobody in Mortal Kombat II ever says Sonya's first name. They call her Blondie (which she never corrects) or Blade, so if this was your first MK thing, you would assume her name is Blondie Blade

I wrote something similar that I think is probably lost to time about the original Uncharted, but man it's nice to see someone else rip into the All Game and the critical apparatus that props it up

If your game is longer than 30 hours I really start wondering why, tbh, and then I remember it's because people will be like "unless I'm spending less than a dollar an hour it's too short"

I mean, it assumes you never replay it ever (and Ace Combat games are designed to be replayed) or touch the MP but even if you buy into the "game is only valuable if if reaches X dollars per hour of entertainment," which is a terrible way to view art, it's still $3.50 an hour.

Most people just want games to occupy them for the longest possible amount of time until they move on to the next thing and until you understand that, you don't understand the audience

Was enthusiastically recommending Ace Combat 8 to a friend and they hit me with the "how long is it?" so I was like "I don't know, maybe 15-20 hours?" (which to me is a long game; nearly a day of your life) and he was like "I don't know, that's kinda short" and I hate this mindset so much, man
