Kim, Lee and Park make out 45% of the surnames in South Korea.

I don't get why people are surprised that people whose job it is to watch movies have relatively obscure things on their "bests of the year" list. Unless these surprised people work on the very flawed assumption that if something is good, then it must be widely distributed, well known and...

I jumped in the thread to mention sevral indies I played recently and ended up writting a too long review of Haven... meh. In the past month I also played: Donut Country: Comedy game in the spirit of Katamcy Damacy but less mechanically interesting. Amusing and short still. A Short Hike: A...

Beat that the other day. It's a game with a bunch of cool ideas, nice music, great art, and an amazing animated intro in watercolor, but the implementation of these ideas is a bit meh. The core concept is that you play a couple stranded on a planet and that the experience system and combat...

One is not incompatible with the other, but he does have Tourette.

Ok.... Kimengumi High School? In 2026? What's going on? I saw the '80s anime on TV back in the days. Also, odd idea to finally make an All You Need Is Kill anime movie, considering it has almost no shot at being better than Edge of Tomorrow.

My guess is that it came from the other end of the problem. They probably did some focus group polling to find out why Metroid as a franchise is not more popular and the answer was the oppressive atmosphere of loneliness and isolation. So they decided to add a chatty companion, not understanding...

You must be confusing her with someone else. Pokimane, due to personality and/or business acumen, is one of the most brand safe streamer there is.

Saw that a few months back. It is sadly bad. It is a kind of spoof of '60s/'70s spy movie, but 99% of the effort is spent on posturing and in the retro visuals, so the plot is a total mess that lost me in double quick time. I am not a specialist of the type of movies it's inspired by, but even...

Not a big fan of this season. It feels like the characters were mainly victims of the plot instead of taking matters in their own hands and in the first third of the season a lot of time is spent on the hacker character who is aggressively stupid and unlikable with zero redeeming qualities. I...

I am surprised by the lukewarm reception of this season. I guess the mix is slightly different, with almost no cloak and dagger anymore, so if it's the aspect you enjoyed the most about the show, maybe you feel let down. Personally, I love negotiations and verbal jousting and it's basically...

I have a somewhat hot take: Elementary is a lot better than Sherlock.

It was released last year in my area. The very hard thing to do with this kind of mystery based plot where a number of things you don't understand happen and you and the main character are trying to connect the dots, is to find the right balance. Too obvious and its bland, too complicated and...

Saw it a few months back. My hopes are always high for this type of south korean movies and this one was just ok. Not great, not terrible.

The internet was not a thing when Tron was released, so all data that is on imdb has been recovered from archives like old issues of Variety. I am going to guess that overseas data is harder to get and compile that US data and therefor has not / almost not been added to imdb. That seems a much...
