    It's the best of the three Punisher movies to date. Which is an incredibly low bar, but whatever.

    It's inevitable that they'd have a complete miss eventually. I'm kind of glad they've done it and gotten it out of the way. The longer their uninterrupted streak of pretty good to great movies lasted, the more devastating it would have been when the miss came.

    Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

    The blind leading the blind. Fan wikis are a good source of some stuff, but what they're often best at is propagating apocryphal misinformation -- sometimes with good intentions, someone's best guess or an honest misreading -- the fanbase will then spend decades treating as gospel.

    Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

    Not really. All it really contradicts is the PSX port of Wild Ambition's opening. And Wild Ambition isn't really canon. Even if Takuma killed Jeff, it was still on Geese's orders, so same difference. And Fatal Fury 1 takes place 10 or so years after AoF2. Who is to say Takuma is even still...

    Watched Maximum Overdrive for the first time since the 1980s. lol what a chunk of shit. Looking at it now, it plays like a dry run for Tremors. The key missing ingredient from the Maximum Overdrive version? Charm. Stephen King famously hated the movie adaptations of his work up to that...

    Eightyties? Ey titties? Whatever. Good luck finding many less typical '80s movies than Repo Man. You must have been on your phone while you were watching.

    Oh is it? What kind of heathens do you take us for that you think you need to explain this? Oh, you're the heathen. Never mind.

    BEST TV Shows to watch... CURRENTLY...

    Finished season 3 of Righteous Gemstones. I think I might like this series more than Eastbound. One thing I noticed this season is that none of the main characters get their own theme music in the score, but the monster truck Redeemer does. Three versions, in fact. They love this monster...

    RB2 is not a dream match for the five millionth fucking time.

    Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

    I like in the bottom right corner of the ring, there's an ad for something called "DUDE WIPES" in a similar font treatment as the new shitty Dune. Eat a DUDE WIPE, fami.

    Holy shit, that looks perfect. I love the old movie, but this one looks much closer to the source comic.

    I do have to admit Billy Zane is impressive in Titanic for mustache twirling without a mustache. Another flat character in a movie full of them.

    knock yourself out. knock yourself out at about the 20 minute mark. Because you basically know the whole movie at that point. Every single thing from then on is going to play out in exactly the cliched, rote way you think it is for the entire remaining 2 hours and 54 minutes, so you might as...

    Cameron connected in a special way with two of his movies. Titanic and Avatar. One connected with 12 year old girls and the other connected because apparently there are drastically more furries out there than we had any idea of. Neither of those movies are great other than on a technical...

    I went to see it in the theater with my then girlfriend and it was a tedious, self indulgent slog. If it had been an hour shorter, maybe I could be more charitable, but literally the only moment I enjoyed out of the 195 minute endurance test was the 5 seconds during the scene the boat is split...

    I don't think it's snooty. In fact, it's kind of the opposite. I think the snootiness comes from the people making a mountain out of oooooooooooh, motherhood!! Stop being proud of that like it's Baby's first finger painting. I have more respect for dumb action movies that don't make the...
