    Movie opinions thread (what have you seen, what did you think?)

    Flanagan is the modern master of Stephen King-style horror. He did adaptations of Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep that were WAYYYY better than they had any right to be as well as Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass which were both really good. He has a tendency to over-rely on monologuing...

    Mike Flanagan was working on it. That was the only reason I had any faith it would be good. But now he's off making a mediocre Exorcist movie and yet another Carrie remake instead. Ugh.

    @The Chief Don't worry about the 'Zempies, bruv. It's just like every crash diet. They all put the weight right back on when they go off it.

    WB Games announces nightmarish restructure

    Soooo more of the same? WB hasn't made anything but licensed drivel and MK since they bought all of Midway's day-old leftovers. Frankly, the video game industry is beyond ripe for a culling. All of these $200 million dollar lowest common denominator sandbox turds should have been a wakeup call...

    Movie opinions thread (what have you seen, what did you think?)

    Yeah I watched World's End again recently and that movie's grown on me a lot. It's still the least of the three Cornetto movies but those characters are a lot more relatable these days and while the alien stuff isn't as clean a metaphor as the zombies from Shaun, it still speaks very clearly to...

    Movie opinions thread (what have you seen, what did you think?)

    Not every gag in the original was an A+ banger either. The key with the Zucker movies was that there was almost always a joke on screen. Either something weird/silly happening in the background or an actual joke being told in the foreground. If they pull it off correctly, it would almost be the...

    They are very much of a kind: hilariously awful, interesting backstory, has become a late-night cult movie.

    What was your first job?

    The kind of "painting" you're referring to is apparently common in people who were sexually molested. Teachers are told to look out for it in kids. The More You Know(tm).

    At some point, that ceases to be kinky/gross/whatever and just becomes some weird form of hoarding.

    What was your first job?

    Apart from mowing lawns and delivering newspapers when I was a kid, my first "real" job was bussing tables at a barbecue restaurant. Then an arcade for a year. Then an Electronics Boutique through most of college. Kept me in weed and video games. Everyone should be required to work food service...

    Movie opinions thread (what have you seen, what did you think?)

    Supposedly, yes. Anyone who likes action movies (or has ever complained about no one ever reloading guns in an action movie) should watch the first John Wick. It's unassailable. Amazing stuntwork, brutal gun violence and hints at a cool urban fantasy underworld but doesn't explain it to death...

    Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls New Arcsys Fighter

    While I'm sure Capcom would like to make another Marvel game, that ship sailed after MvCI was such a miserable dev experience for them (and a sales failure). 2XKO is the game that gets fucked by this. They showed more characters in this trailer than that stupid game has shown in nearly a decade...

    Mission Impossible: The "Final" Reckoning - Was bored on a random Sunday afternoon and if Tom don't run, it ain't no fun. Nothing particularly final about this one other than Tom Cruise getting too old for this shit and it shares a lot of the issues I had with the previous one (having AI be the...

    Movie opinions thread (what have you seen, what did you think?)

    I saw this the other night out of boredom. The last couple had been pretty rough so I wasn't really expecting much. This one was better but I still vastly prefer the first two. Nothing really to say about it if you know the basic construction of those movies. They add an extra layer of lore to...
