@iannis I have not read much about the supposed plot of this new Bond movie, has it been said that the focus of story will be 007 and not Bond? I would think the focus will be on Bond, brought out of retirement and forming a reluctant duo with the new 007. Do you remember that time the chinese...

Rewritting Bond to cast a black woman in the part would have been dumb. Having another agent take the 007 code after Bond's retirement is pretty logical and if you want to do that, the two main options are 1) to have someone very similar to Bond or who tries to be very similar to him (the heir -...

I found that rather strange, because it's a pretty common french brasserie dish (under the name 'steak tartare' which implies an eastern europe origin). Apparently it is also a pretty common dish in Korea. I can vouch for the french version. Spice it up with some tabasco sauce, eat it with...

Too bad they did not change the form of the Switch Lite a bit. I tried playing some Mario Maker the other day in handheld mode and it was unbearable.

The fan did not really brought it to fruition. The team had a producer willing to pay for the game if they managed to do a successful kickstarter for a fraction of the total budget. The kickstarter was really a tool to get pre-orders, to create visibility for the project and to prove to the...

Yes but NESCardinality.

Something that does not exist.

The thing is in Season 1 there is only one character that speaks like that, so it's weird but cool. In season 2, everyone speaks like that, so it's just weird and dumb. Season 3 completely drops that.

But what is the IQ of someone who calls a woman a whore because she has a widespread STD that any sexually active person can get?

Wikipedia says transmission with an unprotected intercourse is 1/1000. Use of male contraceptives reduces the chances in half. Daily use of antiviral medicine further reduces transmission rate. The fun part is that there is something a lot more likely than you getting genital herpes by having...

Obviously curious and even optimistic about it, but I must say I can't help but roll my eyes at these (sadly pretty common) stories where a defense attorney has an identity crisis because they helped exonerate a criminal.

Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King ? Sounds interesting indeed.

So... I bought a Switch today ahead of Super Mario Maker 2 (and, down the line, that special edition of Dragon Quest XI). Any recommendation for Nintendo e-shop games that are not available in retail and are not on the PlayStation Store? EDIT: I am google-fu-ing and found Golf Story and Into...

A back court violation, 2 goal tends, a moving screen (all correct calls to my untrained eyes) and still the Raptor could not convert a 6 points lead into a win....

Layman question: why take a time out when you are on a run, leading and 3 min away from a title?

That look aggressively mediocre. But again, who has the know-how to do this type of games these days? SNK? Maybe?

I completed today Return of the Obra Dinn. It's a game made by Lucas Pope, famously known for Papers, Please (an absolutely brilliant game you must play if you have not). It was in a lot of Best of 2018 lists, so I am a little bit late to the party here. The idea of the game is that you must...

But it is true for this tweet feed he made later.

I think you missed the obvious other possibility: it is not true.

Considering the stupidity they write about "Dream On", I can save a lot of time by not reading anything they have to say about the rest of the list!

When you are 8 points behind and get 287346 stops in the last 10 minutes and still can't catch up, losing is a pretty fair outcome.

Jerome Flynn has been in Ripper Street along his Game of Thrones gig. He had a singing career as well as some TV acting, so he was known in the UK before Game of Thrones. It's a bit different and probably more complicated for the actors that had close to no acting job before the show. Also, teen...

Well... I guess production did not want to set shop in London for long!

Is that Rambo V or Home Alone V?

"It's a meme, just an obscure one" Nicely played! Much more subtle than "I was just joking all along" :D

Back to geometry and/or trigonometry classes for you!

I feel there is something very specific about the experience of being an actor in a long running TV show or in movies that have a number of sequels. The cast here spent the better part of a decade playing these characters, so leaving them behind (no matter what the circumstances and how happy...

Seeing this thread I realized that it's been a long while since I saw an anime serie. I saw several things back in 2009 (Magnitude 8.0, Eden of the East, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) and since then.... probably just Kids on the Slope and Space Dandy. I'll probably catch up the Watanabe...

The use of british slang every two words to underline it's set in London felt very forced, but maybe they'll find their stride as the season advances (unless they are back in NY in 2 episodes).

I don't agree with this. Remove the "Jon is a Targ" plot point from the story and Jon is happily in love with Dany even if his sisters don't like her much, Jon does not betray Dany, Jon has zero legitimate claim to the throne, Sansa does not plant the seed of discord with Tyrion. Tyrion does not...

I agree that the magnitude of the revelation should have been used to show some character development for Jon and some impact in his relations with just about everyone (not just Dany and Varys). It's true that the show skips almost all of it, which is a shame. Now, saying that the many...

It just put a giant wedge between Jon and Dany, gave the opportunity to Jon to betray Dany by revealing the secret to the Starks, gave Sansa the opportunity to share this secret with Tyrion, knowing full well it would destabilize's Dany's allies. So yeah, the most important reveal in the entire...

He sure had help, but he also did a lot of worg'ing and learning and leading (he is the one who chose to follow what seemed to be his destiny by going north past the wall, he could have nope'd). And while passive, surviving 4 assassination attempts (with one acting as bait on purpose) makes for...

I think an asterisk should be added to "the best story", it's the best story * for the people. Tyrion and Jon have great stories, but they also sided with Dany up until the moment she burned King's Landing to the ground. Arya has a great story, for us, but who knows her story really? And being a...

You don't visit prisoners with weapons, because you don't want prisoners to grab said weapons. You don't take the Queen's nephew-lover's weapons when he goes to see the Queen, unless the Queen specifically ordered it. There are things worth complaining about. This is not one of them. My...

In a classic fantasy story, it's obvious Jon, one way or another, would end on the throne. In this particular story that plays with and subverts fantasy tropes , it's no big surprise that Jon does not end on the throne. Also, stories often have an author figure in them. Here, it's a bit Sam the...

The two prerequisites to be the ruler of the 7-1 Kingdoms became: 1) Have a good story that leads to the throne so the people can get behind them. 2) Be chosen by the Lords of Westeros. Being of House whatever is of little relevance given this format. Also, the Kingsguard is there for the King...

Binge watched season 3 over the week-end. Really enjoyed it. I agree that having a 10 minutes exposition for what actually happened involving characters we almost knew nothing about up until that point was a bit lame, but in a way the story is not about the initial crime, it's about the...

I never read it, but I know about it. I confess that a fantasy novel written by a teenager for teenagers makes me a little dubious. It's a bit unfair because there are cases of teenagers writting masterpieces, but the point here is that Eragon sounds about as formulaic as this Targaryen dragon...

Are we talking about Eragon now? Because it sounds a lot like Eragon.
