    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    How exactly is he about to be gang-stabbed in that clip? It's a group of dudes versus a group of dudes with a dire wolf. Which group would you rather be staring at when that door comes down?

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I know I regularly lose sleep worrying over merchandising errors made by companies that profit over $8 billion dollars per year. Please tell me again about the egregious casting mistakes made in the third highest grossing movie in history. Honestly, how do some of you people make it through...

    Total War: Warhammer

    And Rome 2 wasn't a "quality" game until months after release, unless you enjoy rocking 20fps on low settings on a high end graphics card.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I'm sure there have been mass firings for this as the movie only managed to scramble up $2 billion in worldwide theater ticket sales. Hey, on a completely unrelated note, did anyone notice that one of the two movies on top of it on the all-time worldwide chart found its standing thanks primarily...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    No white knighting here at all, and that's the point. The SJW's can go fuck right off themselves for helping to spawn the equally annoying anti-SJW movement. No reasonable person should give a shit about the sex/race/breakfast cereal preferences of a character if they suitably fill the role...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    That's a lot of thought/typing around an issue I couldn't give less of a shit about. If the characters are compelling and well acted, why give a flying fuck? Especially with regard to Star Wars, a girl beating up a few dudes is just silly, but the little green midget picking up a spaceship is...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I took Royal's statement more as a comment on the emotional response/wow factor to the original Star Wars being similar to that of EQ, in that those who were there at or near the beginning of them will likely never have a comparable experience again. Obviously EQ was not nearly the...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    It'd be practically impossible for a new Star Wars movie to ever capture the "heart" of a kid today in the same way that the originals did. There are bright flashy screens everywhere now, with endless content immediately available at all hours of the day. Star Wars in '77 came out of nowhere and...

    Better Call Saul

    Did that guy stop aging 20 years ago?

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Wow, that got me jazzed up more than the early TFA trailers by far. How'd they find Mon Mothma's younger twin at exactly the right age?

    Better Call Saul

    Were people really pining for a Saul Goodman show when BB ended? I seem to remember quite the opposite: that despite the greatness of the character, not many people expected that a Saul focused spin-off would be any good. I certainly didn't have very positive expectations. And now, it's far...

    No, he just says, "Taking it like a champ."

    The Walking Dead

    It was mostly silent because you heard it from the perspective of the person getting bludgeoned. Their ears were ringing and everything else was super muffled.

    The Walking Dead

    After having to wait 6+ months to find out who it is, it better not be the fucking D-lister. My money's on Glenn or Maggie. I think it may be Glenn because most people who are going to Google for comic spoilers have already done so in the past, and know that the show plays spin-the-wheel when it...

    Witcher 3

    I've finally been playing this for a few weeks after managing to finish up Witcher 1 & 2 years after starting both of them, and good lord, despite all of the comments as to the vast size of the game, I really wasn't prepared for just how huge it is. A random turn into some shady corner in a...

    Fallout 4

    Are there any good graphical mods out for this yet? The dumb console-friendly textures leave a lot to be desired. I remember Skyrim had a ton of great texture mods out within a short period of time.

    Evidently, Leia turns into a giant dick after Han dies.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I've silently been thinking that as bad as all of this has sounded from the beginning, watch: all of the really vocal complainers are gonna see this thing and come out surprised that it was actually pretty good. Well, now I guess that's not happening. Carry on. Also, because of the massive...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Never? How many movies have an extended edition these days? Certainly a very small percentage. JJ has insisted that there won't be an extended edition, anyway. They are already including the deleted scenes in this release, they just won't be edited into the movie. Of course over time there...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    See, everyone has their own tastes. I prefer a beautiful woman taking care of business down there. You prefer slob jobs courtesy of older dudes from a gaming site who don't go nuts over particularly well made car chases. It's all okay. God loves all of His children.

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    No kidding. Now everyone who isn't in love with this thing cut their teeth on fucking Michael Bay and The Phantom Menace? Or is it really that I need to feed my Everquest message board ego by popping into a random movie thread to be an edgy contrarian? GTFO. No matter how well-made or perfectly...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I'm forced to agree with this. There's a lot to like about it in theory: minimal exposition that's shown and not discussed, razor-sharp focus, little dialogue, impressive action done with practical effects, a clear passion by the filmmakers to execute on their vision versus all of the lazy...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)

    I've been waiting for a live-action Krang movie since the late 1980s. I'd be going bonkers if I were 12. Now, I'll just wait for Netflix like I did with the first one. I managed to power through that one in a couple of sittings. Maybe this will actually be solid.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I like how many of the same people who bemoaned the derivative qualities of TFA are bitching about its single biggest departure from the OT. I loved Ren in this. He's not Vader 2, he's what Anakin should have been had Lucas known how to direct actors. Whether the character ultimately ends up...

    Star Wars : Rogue One

    Uhh, he was slammed because of the stupid scream at the end. Up until that, the 20 seconds of Vader in the suit was just about the best part of that movie.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    If I were Emperor, everyone who claims that the prequels are better than TFA would be aggressively beaten. Everyone who complains about it because of SJW something or other would have a rusty railroad spike kicked up their urethra, and then would be aggressively beaten.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    So over the past day or so we've learned that Finn is nearly as bad as Jar Jar; but is also the new Han Solo, Adam Driver looks like Richard Simmons somehow, the physics of giant planet-killing orbs is of great importance in fantasy movies, and TFA will be viewed on a similar quality level to...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yes, and I certainly don't think most people are giving it a pass and/or are saying it was "good enough" simply because it was better than the prequels. I thought from the beginning that this is a solidly great Star Wars movie, and I'd have thought the same had the prequels never existed and...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Yeah, that was the stupidest part of the film for me. They couldn't have just shown them watching it on a bank of monitors or something?

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Well this movie was always going to have that sort of "flaw" to some extent. This isn't ANH, where Lucas figured he had to tell a complete story in one film as he hadn't expected the opportunity to keep the series going. ESB doesn't stand on its own at all, and it's easily the best Star Wars...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Binary star? Maybe it didn't require an entire sun for only one shot? I have no idea. Maybe it was hyperspace capable, I don't know. Even if so, I don't see it as being capable of wiping out entire systems significantly faster than the Death Stars.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    As I said right off the bat, that was just one example. The first Star Trek was better, sure, but it still was not a true Star Trek movie by a long shot. It was flashy, action-focused, with a cardboard cutout for a villain. There was no subtlety, a thin plot, no emphasis on discovery and...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I still don't get this comparison. Whether your reaction to TFA was love, hate or meh, it still remains a Star Wars movie through and through. The Star Trek reboots are decidedly NOT Star Trek. They got some of the character beats right, but that's about it. I suppose the comparison is...

    Snoke is obviously Ron Howard's brother, allowing JJ to set up a Star Wars/Star Trek crossover in his bid to become master of all things.

    Except it did work in sand, seeing as how it was a real prop moving through real sand.

    The sad thing is, he could easily get away with that...had the interview taken place in the early 1980s. I'm not sure if it was his divorce, his kids, his sudden and massive financial success, or a mix of it all, but at some point he just flew off the rails and never got back on track. Bummer.
