We have our 3rd round: Djokovic has been impressive so far. vs Verdasco made good on his 31st seed. Isner vs Muller upset 13th seed Bautista-Agut to get into this big serving duel. Lopez dodged a bullet in the 1st round and dodged a bullet in the 2nd as Mannarino retired sick when...

It would also make more sense to have done that if it was not filmed in 3 or 4 big blocks. There is so much difference with the kid after each ellipsis that it might as well have been another actor. The opposite in a way is Koreeda's Nobody Knows: it is filmed within a single year, but the...

Querrey is not the most charismatic guy on a tennis court and his style of play is not exactly super exciting Seedicide watch after the first round: Raonic sector: - Benneteau [25] downed by Becker. Wawrinka sector: - Cuevas [27] downed by Bachinger. - Dolgopolov [21] downed by...

These old shows intro made me do some google-fu for an old favorite of mine: I'll add the obvious for all people who grew up in the '80s watching french TV:

Is she your example for "tons of make-up [...] very angular/old faces"?

As the first points are being fought in Melbourne, let's do a quick run down of the draw: DJOKOVICbrings some question marks with him to the AO has he was sick last week and got ousted in the 3rd round in Doha against an inspired Karlovic (who ended up being the only one to break in the...

Cleveland fans were pissed-off because he left after reaching the final (wait... that was the eastern conference final and the year before leaving?). If he left after not making the play-offs, would they have ground for complaints?

The answer is yes. It's not without flaws, but it's packed with very memorable moments, the antagonist remains one of the best acted video game character to date and the story is surprisingly great. At 15ish hours it is also not a huge time investment.

12 Years a Slave deservedly won last year, with a nomination for best actor, a win for best actress a nomination for best director and a win for best adaptation. I'll go ahead a suspect Selma is not as good, but it's true that the lead actor is supposed to do a great job. Maybe Sharpton wanted a...

Best movie as far as I am concerned. I guess Apes suffers from not being exceptional in any way, it's just a very solid big budget movie, but in this day and age that's sadly pretty exceptional. Edge of Tomorrow is not without its flaws, but that's one of the most refreshing sci-fi action movie...

Based on what I have seen this year, the big film that is missing for these lists is Edge of Tomorrow or even Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Both are superior to the somewhat gimmicky and ineffective Boyhood. Also, Lego or not Lego, anything other than Kaguya would be surprising.

I saw 3 out of the 5 foreign language films and the fourth just got released around my parts. Ida and Leviathan are two very good movies, but Timbuktu is very poorly written. Also the random Best Actress nomination for Cotillard in the Dardennes' brother movie is pretty surprising. She was ok...

Find a way to have Chris Isaak back please! Also Moira Kelly (Donna in Fire Walk With Me) > Lara Flynn Boyle (Donna in the show).

Maybe he meant every word of that, but what else could he say? It is very important for the Oculus Rift that Morpheus does well, because if it's a bad product, it could very well poison the VR well. More: it's important that it sells well to boost publishers' enthusiasm for the tech. It's really...

Obligatory 'Bully is very good and you should buy it' post. The european list is totally different though. I grabbed the Another World anniversary edition and Valiant Hearts from it.

Nice Appleseed hears on that robot. Let's call it homage...

Seeing all these old websites made me remember that I made a sad discovery the other day: not a single modern browser still supports <blink>. It's dead. I am not sure it will be missed, but it's a bit strange that some legacy html no longer works.

With the exception ofReal Sound: Kaze no Regreton Saturn since it's an audio adventure game designed specifically to be blind friendly!

A lot of girls think their shit don't stink, but for some it's the pee apparently...

It's from Sia's music video for Elastic Heart, with the same child dancer as in Chandelier.

Esm? 'Ros from Game of Throne' Bianco is in this.... and so is Rudger Hauer. Strange.

The Pokemon Blue run was pretty crazy because of the knowledge this community managed to gather on the inner workings of the game and how clever they are at using this knowledge. The run was like the Inception of glitch abuse to the point item quantities in the inventory become the world map...

The Punch Out thing requires frame perfect execution and memorizing pattern trees of a dozen enemies, because if you miss you have to be able to find your way through the tree to regain control of the fight. There was nothing frame perfect in these Yoshi levels and they are linear in their...

Not overly impressed by the Yoshi's Island blindfolded thing, because it's just about finding a route and memorizing it while the Zallard1 blindfolded Super Punch Out involved huge game knowledge to manipulate the enemies' A.I., a lot of super precise execution, memory and nerves of steel to...

The two runs of Tetris The Grand Master 3: Terror Instinct were insane. Seeing the guy accelerates to get out of tricky situations was mind blowing and that's coming from someone who completed TGM2 (not sure with what grade though, but I survived the credits). The crazy part also in TGM3 is how...

Rename thread to Hairstation vs Cleanbone?

Snow White and the Huntsman had its moments, but it was a mess and it was Rupert Sanders' first and only feature film. Maybe he'll surprise everyone, but that seems like very big shoes to fill. I am not sure who I would recommend for the job, but probably not Rithy Panh. He is an amazing...

PJ and MechaRichter are doing this odd game called Battleblock Theater with 2 devs in the room and the chat and banter is hilarious. Check it if you can.

By the director of Snow White and the Huntsman! That's promising! In all fairness though the latest live action efforts by Oshii have been pretty bad, so even him doing the live action version of his anime would have been bad news. The music must be Kenji Kawai though or some serious heavyweight...

Tell you friend to get insured for radiation sickness /nod

I am not sure it's the worst, but in the past 9 years I saw a bit north of 1100 recent movies and only 21 got the lowest score on my scale, so as far as I am concerned, Prometheus is in the bottom 2%.

I have just played the demo on Steam and I am still wondering if I'll grab the PC version now or the PS4 version later, but The Talos Principle sounds like a good GOTY candidate that just happen to have been released too late to enter most discussions.

There are some good jokes here and there, but there are not many good comedy scenes where something is built or milked. A bit of a shame also that they did not dare to do more with the pretty interesting theme they chose (starting a business). Still, they did enough with the plot and pacing to...

Dat baseline.

Japanese B movies from the 50s to the 70s almost always had theme songs made for the movie and sometime sung by a cast member. An example of that would be the theme song for Female Convict Scorpionused by Tarentino in Kill Billand sung by lead actress Meiko Kaji. My personal favorite would be...

I wanted to watch a movie on MUBI on my PS4, but because of the Lizzard people I had to watch a DVD instead.

Also that's what she mostly did on Entourage: Getting phone calls while going about her day.

Did I type Vince instead of Sloan in some sort of weird Freudian slip? I don't think I did.

The answer to this is still the same for me: Satoshi Kon's Tokyo Godfathers.
