Setting up your GoW multiplayer on a big release that you are counting a lot on without skills based matchmaking is a choice. The hardcore just stomp on uneven lobbies making the mode borderline unapproachable

Imagine finding out your big culture war fest was canceled because you were only one of six people to have low enough standards.

I did not think I would ever get nostalgic for the old era of evil businessmen owning America's sports teams but I do much prefer it to this new era where 50 personality-less criminals swap ownership every couple of years once whatever fraudulent racket they're running threatens legal trouble.

What a great movie to get this type of treatment. All time set design and visuals.

Masaki Kobayashi‘s 1964 horror classic KWAIDAN is coming to theaters this Fall with a 4K restoration of the Director's Cut. The film spins four tales of the supernatural. "These haunting tales, adapted from Japanese folklore, are existentially frightening."

I firmly believe The Last House could benefit being a Robert Zemeckis movie. I don’t mean that as a critique. It is reminiscent of a blend of his recent themes and go for broke at the risk of absolute silliness. It could balance his weirdness with previously more mainstream sensibilities.

The Arizona Cardinals remain unconcerned about anybody actually noticing them positively. Absolute dedication to not be prestigious in a league that applies it liberally. One of the longest running footnotes in professional sports

May have liked it tv series more than the movies. Some stuff really falls flat but some of the stuff that works sings in a way ch. 2 clearly wanted to but fell into unintentionally funny malaise of editing

The genius of It is the understanding the cultural fears that create our mythic monsters are based on the evils of adulthood that society ignores. This ignorance is why everyone forgets as they get older and normalize things like prejudice. Cranking everything up to 11 tends to miss this.

Was curious as a fan of the movies of Lynch as a teenager and CBS had all but the pilot available on their website. When it came to Netflix, it was a relief to be able to actually recommend it to friends. Pilot was weirdly hard to find and ended up seeing the international version first

I am of the belief that if you can’t figure out how to come back from the last James Bond movie and report that, it raises serious concerns about your basic understanding of a creative endeavor

Trying a different type of over written serious post.
People truly misunderstand that the purpose of education is to look outside of one’s self and learn about the world around them. Jesus spoke and worked in parables because stories allow people to place themselves in situations through empathy and better look at the actions they take and how those affect others in a safer environment to process the actual idea. This misses a certain percentage of humans no matter what anyone does. Rules are part of the understanding but so are how they affect people in real life. It is what great fiction does which is invite you to gain a better understanding of the things you interact with on a daily basis and chance if necessary. This is what Joyce Carol Oates gets at so beautifully, evocatively, and ultimately effectively. That is why you need excellence even if it doesn’t raise metrics. It elevates the world around it through how humans beings interact with each other.

Their were meaner things at the over crowded new Trader Joe’s first thing in the morning, but the perfect image from it is two luxury cars backing away quickly at the same time, both honking and giving disdainful gestures as they were at a stand still in the middle of a lane. 9:30 in the morning

The Emperor Does Have Clothes but they are full of shit! I used AI as an uncreative insult in self righteous indignation yesterday. Today, time for trite pseudo wisdom. Getting all the negativity out with creatively void jokes to add some more variety to the aroma before I grasp for fresh air.

Honestly always resisted the thematic element of Harrison Bergeron as I felt it fell over into over emphasizing the talents of the “elites”. Two terms of Trump has made me realize the actual genius is about a culture lowered to the level of its worst participants

It is weird how bland Ridley Scott movies can occasionally feel because he basically made 3 major aesthetic influences for multiple genres with Alien, Blade Runner, and Prometheus.

Prince of Darkness is a great Carpenter film that does a great job of misdirection. However, whatever combo of lighting and make up they use on Alice Cooper (it appears less noticeably on others too) just looks bad in a movie filled with fun effects and visuals. Cooper is otherwise fine in cameo.

My crazy Alien: Earth theory is that the main character has her powers because tech guy thinks his consciousness will take over since the transfer process was “confirmed” and there is some sort of back door copy of a younger him that gets to live in a “prefect” body.

Some seem to have made the calculus that they want the church to be the only real community open to Americans. This weakens the church because its acts become limited and insular. The glory is onto the church not onto god setting up people to use the power to abuse others for their own glory.
