That's the central point of the plot of a '70s or '80s japanese movie : a military unit accidentally find itself back in medieval times. Conflict ensure and while at first they maw people down, things get tricky as they run out of bullets and gasoline and the antagonists start to understand the...

As I feared when its release was announced, I played through the entirety of Mario's Super Picross on the Switch SNES emulator. This is a game that at the time was never released outside Japan, because its predecessor on Game Boy, Mario's Picross, did not sell well in the US and Europe. It so...

The BK stays open because because all the McD workers go there to eat !

The peplum to end all pepla (though technically not a peplum since it's about Ramses XIII), is the 1966 polish film Pharaoh. LOL at that format, that seem to me even wider than 2.35.

Walked past an electronic shop earlier today, and from the corner of my eye I thought they had PS5 boxes on display for preorder but... hum.

Are we supposed to care about this ?

So gaudy. But as mentioned earlier, it's very likely we will see non-licensed and possibly licensed replacement.... what would be the word to describe that ? Covers ? Sides ? Anyway, the big white things seem easily replaceable by just about anything else (like big black things with a spider web...

Careful what you wish for: it getting leaked sounds like a good way for the sequels to never get made.

You cannot slow down production, release your films in VOD and expect there still will be movie theaters around to show your films once the pandemic is over.

Several Nintendo DS games used that gimmick.

They are also pro-getting drunk, so one can balance the other ! That said, good call on the location : Google Maps

A nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role, which already makes him part of a pretty small group of people. Also, to get an Academy Award, you need to be good, in a good part, in a good film at the right time. I am going by production year as it matches for Lost in Translation. Meatballs ->...

Live streaming might be different, but getting authorizations to shoot a movie in the streets in Japan is an administrative nightmare to the point even big productions use the "don't ask anyone and pay fines if caught" strategy. I recently read that on the set of Tokyo Drift, they had a guy on...

He won 53 awards.

It's true that Souls games are serious e-sports in which equipment, especially armor, is key ! :rolleyes:

For shit and giggles, I checked. For one, 5 of the 10 winners for best picture in the last decade, I have not seen (like, I could not muster the strength to go see The Shape of Water). The ones I saw I liked. None of the winners would be my film of the year though. Also, I would not have picked...

While it has its moments here and there, the Fifth Element is aggressively stupid. That is not much of a surprise because it's basically a story Besson wrote when he was 12. Talking about 12, I never watched 12 Monkeys again since its release 25 years ago. I remember being slightly underwhelmed...

My hot take is. Matrix 1 : interesting mess (overrated). Matrix 2 : masterpiece that has at its core the key question of the evolution of cinema when digital effects become indistinguishable from filmed reality (highly underrated). Matrix 3 : uninteresting mess (rated properly).

My choice of word was probably not the best. I trust you that the film's story does not match closely to the one of the games, but, correct me if I am wrong, it is faithful to the type of story the game tells, in the sense that it attempts to chronicle a war, so you have many places, many...

Played A Monster's Expedition (Through Puzzling Exhibitions) on PC. It's an indie puzzle game made by Alan "Draknek" Hazelden & friends. Draknek (and friends, though I am not sure if it always the same ones) is known for several very well designed puzzle games released in the last few years...

Saying Aliens was a dumb shoot'em up while Alien was a masterpiece of horror was really not a hot take back in the '90s. That was basically the take of all teenage smug film buff wannabe. It was already totally wrong then, as Aliens is superior to Alien in just about every way. I think we had...

This is wrong on both counts. The film is a pretty big co-production that involved a number of american, chinese and japanese companies, but the project was initiated and helmed by Blizzard that basically wanted to pull a Marvel and keep total control of their property instead of selling the...

Are you blocking youTube video integration ?

Michael Lonsdale, an amazing british-french actor died at 89 a few days ago. His career in movies spanned six decades and more than 200 parts. He was mostly active in french cinema, but is well known internationally for his portrayal of Hugo Drax, the big bad of Moonraker. You are likely to also...

There are famous examples of digital games that became unavailable like P.T. or Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Has it ever been the case for games that were also available in physical format ?

I am looking forward to Bethesda's take on Kinect Sports and Viva Piñata.

Voted 19th best film released in 2010 by my circle of friends (I had it in 9th place). Benefitting from a lack of consensus, the winner that year was the marvelously strange The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans. I think about Up in the Air from time to time because of the scene where...

@Tarrant Oooooooooooooh I don't use auto-correct so I never think of it. That would explain the constant misspelling. I feel a lot better now. The tilt is gone. Thanks :D

I am irrationally tilted by this. It might be a mix of playing a lot of D&D 2nd edition in the Forgotten Realms or because it's one of these rare case where the wrong spelling is a lot more common than the correct one, but... Baldur's Gate.

Mystic River is what put her on the map, and that's eight years before Shameless, so...

Pretty sure Street Fighter 2 was a 16 Megabit cartridge. Wikipedia seems to say it was even the first 16 Megabit cartridge for the SNES. How much of an actual impact it had on the manufacturing cost is a whole other question though....

I can sympathize with the Livejournal part, and it's true the "wow" effect was also almost nonexistent for me. I am not sure what you are smoking with the rest of the post though. Summons are the core of FFVI's story and there are chocobos in every single FF games. FFXV was intriguing with its...

Sunshine is a cool game, but, outside of a handful of sections that must be completed without the water skirting thingy, it is not really a Mario game because of the hovering. Galaxy was ok, but it felt more like a collection of random disjointed ideas rather than a game built around a set of...

@spronk What's a Gallium arsenide game ? About the pressure Sony is under, obviously there is some, but I would say it is more about the disposable income of their customers after 8 months of COVID than about whatever Microsoft is doing considering the Xbox One was almost a single market...

@spronk I am not sure what will be launch window and what has been kicked further down the road, but you might want to go check some of the previous generations launch line-ups if you feel this one is bad. Horizon was very well received and there is no reason to think the sequel will be any...

Question : Dolby Atmos is a sound encoding that is used for both multi-speakers setups and pseudo-3D algorithms for headphones ?

@Quaid the Super Nintendo (Europe) and Super Famicom (Japan) have this shape. The angular shape of the Super NES (and of its cartridges) is a US thing, as are the controllers with the fingers killing concave buttons.

It was a bit gimmicky but the magic square was used sorta : SATOR is the name of the antagonist AREPO is the name of the unseen forger TENET is the "fight the future" organisation OPERA is where the opening operation took place ROTAS is the free port company That being said I feel it's a meh...

I have not seen the Lynch movie in forever, but that new adaptation does not seem like a very fresh and original take on the material. I guess it does not have to be since the Lynch movie was released 36 years ago and Villeneuve delivers, but still.
