I guess that's my cue to inform people who have not seen Room or Short Stay 12 or her small part in Remember the Daze or even seen her in United States of Tara, that Brie Larson is, off the top of my head, in the Top 5 of the best actors/actresses in the MCU. She has without the shadow of a...

Another World is pretty interesting as it is what I call an orphan game. There are some great ideas in it, but somehow these ideas were almost never reused in other games, even in supposed heirs like Heart of Darkness or Flashback (I guess a game without heir should be called sterile rather than...

She got the warning for coaching before she was a break up in the 2nd and she shattered her racket when Osaka immediately broke back. Oh and breaking your racket on purpose is always resulting in a code violation. There rare occurrences when a broken racket is not penalized are when the player...

To be fair, Profondo Rosso >>>>> Suspiria. EDIT: Also I have not seen A Bigger Splash and Call Me By Your Name, but Io sono l'amore was an impressive movie (possibly helped by the John Adams score, but this time he has Thom Yorke so he is also getting helped!) EDIT 2:

There are lots of parts of the movie that reenact events that were filmed/televised at the time. They made some adjustments to streamline the plot and avoid the things they did not want to talk about, but other than that it is very faithful (even things that seem totally over the top like the...

It's true. One won an Academy Award postumously while the other won one while being alive... EDIT: @Daezuel :(

The break down is this: in tennis, like in many other sports, there is a code of conduct. I am not sure of the exact terminology, but there are minor infractions and major ones. Major ones make you lose the match instantly. This happens from time to time, usually it's when a player throw his or...

Tomorrow we will see a number of articles about all the drama surrounding Serena Williams in the US Open final (again). Hopefully, we will also see many articles about the more interesting story: the incredible level of play of 20 year old Naomi Osaka, who after a semi final were she saved a...

Always used WiFi personally and I don't feel it is the bottleneck when things go slow.

Instead of watching Bushwick or as a companion piece to it (in a different tone and style), I recommend Joe Dante's The Second Civil War (possibly a bit hard to see though as it was a TV Movie back in the mid '90s).

I have not seen this movie since its original theater release, so take this comment with a grain of salt, but I don't remember it being very good... it goes way over the top with some story elements or situations to enhance the drama, for a context that really does not need it, and its technical...

I wish I was pharmakos' car dealer right now :p

The few KB+M players on console will be matched with the majority of the PC players, but that also means the few PC players that play with controllers will be matched with the majority of console players.

What about a PS3?

@Arbitrary I think the main problem with the 2nd one is that a core element of the first is missing. In the first film they went in the past, so it's all about some bitter sweet nostalgia, correcting your past mistakes and having the spectator, like the main characters, be in the know of the...

I mostly watch small or medium streamers, but the only time I saw them run ads is when they go afk or at the end of streams ('That's it for today boys and girls, I'll end the stream with a couple ads, so you can stay around while they play as a way to support the stream').

Unlike the Yakuza games, time is running in these games. So if a guy tells you to be somewhere the next day at 3 pm, well... you have to be there the next day, but if you miss the meeting, you can go there the following day at 3 pm... so if you spend your days playing Hang-On in the arcade, the...

Two things came to mind, a super campy but marvelously written hong kong saber movie from the '70s, but I can't find the title... I'll get back to you on that. The other is a police comedy from Taiwan called Sweet Alibis. This is a very odd and somewhat worrying movie, because, as you watch it...

For @spronk

It's about a megalodon, so it's not a dull fin................. sorry

Sony's position is pretty simple. Last gen they were globally neck and neck with Microsoft as far as installed base went and this gen they beat them more than 2 to 1. Also, all four Playstations are in the Top 6 of the most sold home consoles globally... So "We want cross play or else..." will...

Cursed be this thread and its bunch of crappy european dance tracks from the early 2000s featuring hot girls, because I just spent more time that I want to admit fighting with google, wikipedia and youTube to find three of these. Well, I found one, but I am empty handed with the other two. They...

I probably already mentioned this movie a few years back, but I recently watched again a marvelous argentinian film called Historias Extraordinarias (Extraordinary Stories). It's a film in three parts for a total length just north of 4 hours. It's a film all about story telling, packed with...

Memorable scenes in good films are too many to count, but trying to find a memorable scene in a movie I did not like is no easy task... A silly one came to mind. Do you know how in just about every movie involving prison guards you have the guys walking by the cells, sliding their baton on the...

Late to the party, but I saw this between yesterday and today. I think the pleasant thing in these Le Carré stories is that they show a spy game that is about people not gadgets. The cast works very well throughout, but I must say the plot is not without flaws and we even get get an ending that...

I think you have your timing all wrong with that one. There is a classic book about this question wrote in the early '90s called Hard Bodies: Hollywood Masculinity in the Reagan Era that ends with hints as to how things were already changing in the '90s. Before you throw Clinton at me, note that...

It would be interesting to analyze these M:I movies after seeing them back to back, but rereading some notes I took about Ghost Protocol, I feel something changed at that point. They used the back and forth with Simon Pegg's character to underline how ridiculous their plans were and then had the...

Just to put things into perspective, Gamera being in this is about as likely as Batman being in the next Avengers movie. Gamera was created by Daiei to compete with Toho's Godzilla (Daiei is no more though, but their IPs got bought by Kadokawa in 2003). I am not sure about domestic box office...

@Kiroy if you enjoyed this and What We Do in the Shadows, let me recommend another comedy from New Zealand that I saw a few years back: Housebound. It's about a young woman back to her childhood home with her mother because she is in house arrest... but something is not quite right with the...

This topic is pretty dumb, because "movies" is used as a shorthand for "Hollywood blockbusters" and "worse" is determined by a mix of criteria that are on different scales. The only way to not find dozens of good or great movies to see in any given year, is to be very very specific and really...

So I finished the post game stuff with Kiryu walking around town with Haruka who wants to eat all types of food and makes a number of mini games related challenges and one of the things you get from it is that Haruka gets to predict rolls in chou-han.... So I am like, whatever, let's play the 4...

I guess some people will, but I certainly will not buy a console where all games are tied to a service that will be discontinued at some point.

When exiting my screening of Skyscraper the other day that only had a couple dozen viewers (the average action movie watcher goes to dubbed screenings I guess, also summer + week day + movie out for a couple weeks), a human flood was leaving another screening: that crowd was for Mamma Mia 2. I...

@Juvarisx your post made me google it and a key info that was missing surfaced: Legendary won the bid, but Legendary is owned by a chinese conglomerate, the Wanda Group, since januray 2016! So I guess it is after all a chinese production, even if indirectly. That makes the cast a bit odd then...

Movie is ok at best I guess, but.... you would think it would be one of these big sino-american production done to get fresh chinese money and get distributed in China without being hit by the foreign movies quota, but, as far as I can tell, not a yuan was put in this and the large asian cast is...

@RobXIII this game in unhealthy for completionists, especially dumb completionists like me, because I spent a lot of time on grindy, not interesting stuff (leveling up, getting all soul points, getting all revelations, getting to N°1 in the coliseum with Saejima, getting max skill with all...

I was at the Neuchatel International Fantasy Film Festival a couple weeks back and here are some stand out movies. Note that, despite the name of the festival, just about everything goes outside the main competition. This year there was a panorama of films from New Zealand for instance... which...

I think the problem is that the Wild Arms thread did not pick up. So it's a bit weird to pick a new game when the previous game was barely played nor discussed. Now, did it not pick up because it's summer time? Because while a bunch of people voiced interest to play it, few actually could? Maybe...
