    Prometheus is the worst movie ever made

    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%.

    Rerolled "Best Game of 2014"

    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.

    Horrible Bosses 2

    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...

    Your Favorite Movie Theme Song

    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...

    First World Problems

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

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

    Entourage

    I maintain that I would watch a spin off consisting solely of Sloane going about her day exercising, shopping, driving around town and jet-setting. I am not sure why we don't see more of Chriqui. Just a little TV here and there, a couple indies that do not sound so hot and a rather lame...

    BUMP! I'll add some comments later about Shelter, Gemini Rue, A Bird Story, Lifeless Planet, BasketBelle, Eidolon, OFF, Nadeyanen and Yume Nikki, but for now 2 things: 1) Environmental Station Alpha (see above) has yet to be Greenlighted! That's a shame! Try the demo, like it and up vote iton...

    Shelter: Badger, mushrooms, but no snake. Neat and original visual design and great soundtrack for a game about surviving as an adult badger protecting 5 little ones. A couple core elements are bit obscure (most notably that the pelt color of the young ones signifies their level of hunger), but...

    Homeland

    It was without a doubt a strange season final, but I found it pretty ballsy and it had one of the best scene of the season: The four weary agents drinking together at a funeral. PS: God this baby is fugly.

    The Interview - Rogan and Franco attempt to assassinate Kim Jong-Un

    I am not sure if you are being facetious or not. Do you think a stalinist regime that has been in a permanent state of hot or cold war for almost 70 years does not have a number of spies and sleeper agents? Or do you think the track record of the american intelligence community favors the idea...

    Hatred

    I am not sure what your problem is Utnayan. The description said the game was a "story exploration game", you knew the story could be about "ANYTHING" and after buying and playing the game you were not interested by the story it told. That's just the cost of doing business when being...

    Hatred

    Khalid, you seem to have a problem with complexity. I am a good customer for stupid politically incorrect comedies, so I suspect I might very well enjoy The Interview (like I enjoyed Team America, South Park: The Movie or Don't Mess With The Zohan), but I still think it is a really irresponsible...

    I think you might benefit from the realization that maybe not all games are meant for you. Just like not all music, books or movies are meant for you.

    Steam is problematic in more ways than one, but forcing them to distribute all and every games does not sound like the greatest of ideas to me.

    Elementary: Season 2

    They are doing good work with the plots and lines with a good balance between the investigations and the personal lives, Jonny Lee Miller is riveting in the part of Holmes as he delivers a total package (line delivery, posture, movements, facial expressions) that still entertains after 50+...

    Hatred

    I'll readily admit that the american concept of free speech is broader than mine, but that is true of many people since the 1st amendment's protection of hate speech is part of the american exceptionalism. That being said, the three cases you mention have no relation whatsoever with the defense...

    This is not a free speech issue. Unless being available on Steam is now a fundamental right by virtue of their almost monopoly on the PC game market.

    The Interview - Rogan and Franco attempt to assassinate Kim Jong-Un

    The best plan is to put it all in a box and only reopen said box in a decade or three and then release the movie as "The outrageous movie that almost started WW3". I wonder if some people at Sony along with Rogen and Franco met with some people of the state department. If it happened, it must...

    The Interview - Rogan and Franco attempt to assassinate Kim Jong-Un

    These theater chains are businesses. I'll bet there is simply no scenario where they make money by releasing the film considering the cost in security, insurance and ticket sales (the people not going to any movie because you never know what crazy people will do). It also goes to show that...

    Hatred

    I would find this whole thing more palatable if there was even the tiniest of hint that the people making the game are not certified idiots. There is no such hint in the interviews / quotes by the devs, so Occam's razor is strongly in favor of them being idiots over them being the heirs of Andy...

    Best of 2014

    Some were released in 2013 in the US (12 Years a Slave for sure), but... I saw them in 2014 and that's the question Fight asked! (Historias Extraordinarias is even from a few years back).

    Best of 2014

    I have yet to see Birdman, Foxcatcher, Nightcrawler and Whiplash that seem to have the potential to enter this list, but so far I have seen 9 4out of 4 stars movies in 2014. In alphabetical order: Black Coal Thin Ice: Chinese Neo Noir set in a mining city. Blind: A Norwegian woman lost her...

    The Newsroom s3

    All in all that was a pretty good wrap up episode for a show that took a while to find its stride, never really managed true greatness and was maybe a little too self-conscious of the importance of its subject matter, but that's a nice problem to have. I liked how they found a way to redeem the...

    I am not sure what to think about this ending... there is a big potential for shark-jumpy / absurd stuff like what we got in the 2nd season, but their track record has been pretty good in season 3 and 4 so far, so hopefully this will be good.
