@Amzin You're probably right /nod

TARANTULAR! On a side note, Xelna in the Zelda: A Link to the Past race just casually had the 2nd best run of the game ever. Oh and he is the guy who is the record holder... just about everything went perfectly through the whole run. I suspect that with a little bit of luck in the final Ganon...

I have never played any Dragon Age, but at HowLongToBeat, Origins is listed as 40ish hours for an average playthrough of the main game and at 28ish hours for a rushed playthrough of the main game. PS: Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening is listed as 9ish rushed 13ish average. It's a DLC though, but...

Considering they raised more than $500k in 4 days, I seriously doubt that.

I am not going to rewatch the movie to be sure @Hoss , but I am reasonably certain the planet they go to is not colonized yet and

There are different types of commentary. I really enjoyed Blechy's commentary during the Mario races, where he talks non stop through a very prepared and informative script, but I also like humorous commentary like, say, Spikevegeta. For longer runs like the one fo FFIV it's pretty neat also how...

The Mario runs about to start! It should be good! This stuff is so ridiculously optimized.

The problems are that the frame story is a melancholic drama, but it does not have enough room to be effective, and the story within the story is a dramatic crime story, but since it is presented as fictional, it's very difficult to care about what happens in it. If there was something clever at...

Currently playing Beyond Oasis on Genesis via the official emulator available on Steam. It's an action adventure game a bit like Landstalker or Zelda, but more linear. It's not flawless, but still enjoyable with nice visuals using huge sprites at time and very little of the dithering technique...

Not according to the guy who went through the shipping manifest! But as I said in my review, you better not think too much about it all because the sci-fi element is just here to create a situation and its conundrum for the romantic dramedy. If it was an actual sci-fi movie other themes would be...

If we want to explore plot holes,

I hate TCM because when I want to watch a movie I end up watching three... anyway, that allowed me to watch again a film I first saw a long time ago: Nicholas Ray's 1954 proto-anti-western Johnny Guitar. The movie did not leave me with a strong impression the first time around (to the point I am...

Debatable!

Pro tip to enjoy the Yakuza serie to the fullest: relatively early on in every game there is a character (usually in a bar) that gives you hints as to where you can currently start side quests. Never progress the main story before you run out of side quests. The main story is an over the top...

Gigli of SF would be Prometheus. The guy who wrote Passengers had a hand in that though! Also this movie is not even the worst reviewed movie of the month. That dubious honor would go to Assassin's Creed.

It is a romantic dramedy in space and, for what it is, it's not that far from being great. You need to suspend a little more than disbelief to enjoy this plot though.

What a bizarre mess this movie is.

Monster Hunter and Dynasty Warrior sales? On a side note, that guy in the teaser should be careful with his sword, he almost severed his friend's Achilles tendon @30.

Just saw two movies very difficult to rate: The first one was The Neon Demon that takes a cliché story (new girl in LA has the special something thats makes her a star - here in modeling) and twist it by bringing it to its (il)logical extreme. The end result is somehow something even more stupid...

In the realm of "let's take an old IP and put a fresh coat of paint on it", these prequels are among the best there are. The fact they are well shot, well written and well acted big productions with 0% of camp and not a joke in sight certainly does not hurt. It's not at Villeneuve's level of...

Ended up seeing it. Solid movie, especially because of its omnipresent "end of an era" theme. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to westerns, but I feel that's it's a pretty common theme in classic westerns (the end of the wild west) that is here cleverly modernized. That being said, the...

Michael Chiklis was a huge fan of Fantastic Four. That did not help much!

A lot of Shutter Island with a bit of The Grand Budapest Hotel / Youth? Why not. I am a fan of Verbinski anyway. Also: set in Switzerland (the birth place of LSD!).

Wouldn't it be great if it ended up being a good movie? Finger crossed.

I'll preemptively ask rhinohelix to kindly spoiler the answer to that question.

Played on emulator through the Super Famicom remake of Dragon Quest III with the fan made english translation patch... A pleasant classic RPG romp with the always nice Dragon Quest flair. A notable thing in this game is a very neat character creation system where you answer some questions -...

I never was extremely enamored with them, possibly because I was not a child when I saw them first and also did not saw them at the time of their release, so, in a way, their impact got dulled by the fact I saw films/tv show/cartoons and read comics that got influenced by them before actually...

The prequels were aggressively bad. This film is just mediocre. I guess it performs its functions as a filler for a plot hole and as a cornucopia of references and easter eggs (other than the incomprehensible choice to have Darth Vader make a pun...), but I care very little about that, so this...

I think the egyptian dark magic spell to summon a giant murder of crows was invented in 2345 BC......

@iannis By a number of metrics, such as alphabetization, life expectancy at birth, peasants ownership of the land they work, price of electricity, of telecommunications and of rents, the cuban revolution markedly and quickly made things better for the people of the island. On other fronts, such...

Reading this it sounds to me the Batista regime and american companies did a pretty good job at fleecing the cuban people and the american taxpayers!

Fun fact: This film is titled Vaiana in several european countries because Moana is a trade mark owned by a perfume company. HAH! Karma for the Mickey Mouse clause?

About investments... But the truth is that in our country it was not only the land that was the property of the agrarian monopolies. The largest and most important mines were also owned by those monopolies. Cuba produces, for example, a great deal of nickel. All of the nickel was exploited...

Since Lithose is about as verbose as Castro, we can have them argue with each other about the great benevolence of the US and how it improved the quality of life of cubans: We surely cannot be blamed if there were 600,000 unemployed in Cuba and 37.5 per cent of the population were illiterate...

Big Phoenix, Castro thinks you are deceiving yourself and are ridiculous :( The Cubans who fought for our independence and at that very moment were giving their blood and their lives believed in good faith in the joint resolution of the Congress of the United States of April 20, 1898, which...

For historical significance, I am currently reading a transcript of Castro's speech at the UN in 1960. After a dull start where he whines about the way his delegation had trouble with their accommodations, it gets more interesting when he makes a brief history of Cuba as a colony (of Spain and...

At the end of the day, Castro was a law student, who, in his early '30s, during the cold war, managed with less than 100 people to topple the US propped dictator of a banana republic (well... a sugar cane republic). Once in power, his government increased dramatically the alphabetization level...

Absence of proof, proof of absence, yadda, yadda.
