Looking forward to the Badminton events. In Men Single the top four seeds could very well win, but we might also have a tri-peat of a Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan final (Lin Dan won the Gold in Beijing and London).

Honestly, he had 4 decent shots at winning the Olympic Gold and did not, so I doubt this 5th shot would have done the trick In 2000 in Sydney on hard court, ranked 36, he reached the semi and lost to the lower ranked Haas (a god among men though). He managed to also lose the bronze medal match...

This is noted and might come in handy (pun!) as Murray IS at the Olympics (unlike Wawrinka - back issues).

Yeah, unless some crazy deals happened, it's pretty safe to say it is not a big success. That's not to say there will not be a sequel though as they can reuse a lot of the stuff they created for the first movie and can spend less in advertisement since the "female ghostbusters" brand is...

Does that budget include advertisement? Anyway, with all the cross-promotions and the licencing, it's very difficult for us to know if it was a success or not from a cold hard cash perspective.

The move has not started. People (me included) put their names on the seats of a lifeboat to be on the safe side in a time of uncertainty. By your logic we would all be on hoofshots...

You automatically lose most content and some users in a move, so it should be a last resort, not a reaction to the possibly of maybe something negative happening. The new husband in your battered wife analogy did exactly nothing so far except providing a less shoddy house.

Other than 1.5 million posts in almost 10k threads in a familiar format... Having a lifeboat ready in case things go sour is not a bad idea though.

I don't see the value in changing site if indeed the people at MMORPG.com don't mess with the board. It only has value for those who are not mods here and will be mods there.

Isn't it a site that costs money rather than make money though? I don't really get why MMORPG.com is interested and how it would fit into their existing platform (unless they don't plan on merging/linking the two).

There are obviously examples of movies that manage to maintain a high comedy level throughout. Difficult =/= impossible.

I have not seen this new Ghostbusters, but what you are describing is pretty typical of american comedies. They have an idea for a funny starting situation, so the movie start with a lot of comedy elements and then they realize they have to resolve the situation to tell a story and the comedy...

The silence is weird. Both before and after the transaction.

No Federer until the end of the year :(

Neither

McAvoy can be very good, but he can also overact a ton, especially in this kind of "I am going craaaaazy" part, like in Filth or Trance.

Three people credited for the story another three for the screenplay... not necessarily a great sign even with Tony Gilroy in the mix. Note: no chinese writer involved (not good or bad, just odd). On the chinese side, Zhang Yimou proved since Hero that he can direct epics and in the cast...

There is no thread for it, so I'll bump this one to let people know that the fourth episode of the marvelously experimental adventure gameKentucky Route Zerojust got released! The sneaky bastards! Downloading it now...

Mads Mikkelsen has been in 14 feature films and the main character in three seasons of a TV serie (Hannibal) since Casino Royal 10 years ago! He is getting work, but his career is split between Denmark (Valhalla Rising, The Hunt, A Royal Affair, Men & Chicken), France (The Age of Uprising, Coco...

Are you confusing Rachel McAdams with [G]illian Anderson? Anyway, I suffer from a serious case of licensed shit fatigue in general and super hero in particular, but the cast + the architectural manipulation make me optimistic.

Probably Jackal?

When you do a family action comedy blockbuster a huge portion of the audience does not read reviews. With social media these days though it's possible that I was low-balling it with my 20% guesstimation. That's why it would be interesting to have an actual survey: to not guesstimate!

If they surveyed the people who saw the movie I am pretty sure you'll learn 99% saw advertisements for it. What percentage knew there was a gender related polemic around the movies? 20%? What percentage read the tweets by Feig? 1%? If that. It's pretty rare that at the end of the day...

I believe the accelerometers in the Move are better than those in the Dual Shock 4? Also I believe most people have 2 hands!

I would trust the audience score of this movie a bit more if you had to show your ticket to be able to vote! Not that I expect it to be any good though. About comedies toping the box office, I had this conversation with a friend the other day as I was rather surprised to see a not so great...

Are the people who do not know Ice Climber too young to have owned a NES at the time or was it more famous in Europe? I think it was bundled with the console at some point and around here it was very often the demo game in toy stores.

It's fair to assume the list is heavily conditioned by who owns the rights of what more than some sort of curation.

Apparently, it has save states too. I am not 100% sure who the target is though... 30 or 40 something nostalgic parents who want to replay the games of their youth with their children?

To really assess the format, one would need to check all the matches that have been played and rate how entertaining they were. My gut feeling is that the smaller teams did not necessarily make for less entertaining matches. If there is a problem currently, it may be more with the game itself...

I saw it at a film festival, but it's out on BluRay/DVD/VoD if Amazon is to be believed. I could not compare it to his XXth century film as I have seen none of them. I have a friend withthis ginormous box setso I might borrow it from him and binge through Chow's work.

Unsurprisingly, there is no small dose of hypocrisy in the application of this criteria when you consider one of the recent chinese blockbuster, Mojin, is about raiding for treasures in haunted tombs! Also are mermaids supernatural beings? Because the latest super hit in China is Stephen Chow's...

I find it a bit perplexing that when people question and analyze the content of video games and the impact it might have on the people who play them, people around the board are like "These are just games, just mindless fun, how can it have any impact on anyone?", but when we have an all female...

While I am at it with these very joyous late '60s collaborations between Jane Bikin and Serge Gainsbourg: Lyrics:

It was in competition at theNIFFF(Neuchatel International Fantasy Film Festival) last week and it won the public prize, the international critics prize and a production design prize. Almost a sweep! It could not win the best european film category (obviously) and the international jury...

It's important to understand that the RT score is a strange beast. In your example, it just means there is 73% of reviewers that find Batman vs Superman below average, but it says nothing about how far below. The Room ends up with a higher RT score probably because it falls into the "so bad it's...

When you see the impact Eder had on the match with his ability to impose himself physically and act as an anchor point when not facing the goal you have to wonder why he only played a whopping 13 minutes before the final! That was incomprehensible even before he scored for the win! Anyway...

Pretty fun 2nd half, but still 0-0 (somehow!).

Oddly, Ronaldo's injury seems to have hurt the french team the most. They just shut down after he left, moving back, leaving the ball possession to their oponent and consequently turning the match into a pace-less odd thing. The kind of shitty match the portuguese team has been winning (or at...
