    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Oh. Was his switching sides even mentioned in the movie? Anyway, I admit that I worded my initial gripe wrong. I have no issue with Stormtroopers getting a conscious and becoming good guys (I think that's a great narrative device, and I very much enjoyed seeing characterization given to what...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Weird. I don't remember hearing any reference to former imperials who defected to the rebels and I certainly don't remember any other stormtrooper-turned-good-guys. It's entirely possible my memory isn't that great. In any case, my point stands: It would have made more sense if Finn had been...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Finally saw this today and really enjoyed it. Things I loved: - REALLY felt like Star Wars. There were a ton of throwbacks: Snow terrain, desert terrain, "I've got a bad feeling about this", varying alien species assembled in a venue with an alien band playing, planet-destroying...

    The Good Dinosaur (Pixar)

    I will say in its favor that there were many shots I legit couldn't tell whether they were CG or RL footage. I still don't know. Water, foliage, and terrain looked incredible. Was it all CG? Did they integrate some actual footage of landscapes and plants? It was actually kind of a weird contrast...

    Deadpool (2016)

    Got a version that's legible? No idea who Taskmaster is but I'm curious enough to want to be able to read what I'm assuming is a reference to him.

    Yeah, I've already decided I'm going to see the movie so I'm not watching any more trailers.

    KOTOR 1 is one of my favorite games of all time, and probably the best Star Wars game I have ever played. I did have issues trying to play the PC port, though. Part 2 has apparently been patched to fix a lot of problems the game had (it was rushed and originally released with content missing...

    The Good Dinosaur (Pixar)

    Took my wife to see this today. Not a bad little film, but it suffers from extreme familiarity in that I feel like I've seen everything it does done many times before in countless other movies.

    Ex Machina

    Serving wine is a mechanical task. The robots in the movie are incredibly complex, finely tuned machines designed to behave exactly like humans, and they seem to be every bit as physically capable as humans, minus the flaws we have in controlling our own bodies. If Kyoko spilled the wine, it's...

    Finally saw this. Outstanding movie. I don't think Ava was a monster at all. I think she knew (or at least strongly suspected) from the beginning that her days were numbered and did everything in her power to ensure her own survival. Yes, that included emotional manipulation and outright...

    They absolutely would have been better of simply porting the SNES version, the PS1 version, or the GBA version. Breaks my heart that one of the best RPGs of all time was given such shit treatment for its grand PC release.

    Integrated both of these into my ESL lessons. They hold up remarkably well and are both brilliantly animated.

    Said under the assumption the speaker was an adult: Said after her (their) age has been clarified: Compare "kind of cute" to "gives me a semi" or "I'd fuck her", realize the most innocent of those comments was made assuming the speaker was old enough for us to give a shit what she has to say...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    You should correct this. It's a fantastic movie that has actually aged so well it might even be better now than when it was released. Also, the practical special effects they used for the plant are absolutely amazing.

    Seems like what separates those from lousy remakes is that I haven't seen any of the originals of those.

    I can't possibly be the only one here who thinks she's (they're) kind of cute. Having said that, holy shit girl, ever heard of a script? 2 and 3 are basically the same thing, and I actually LOLed when she (sorry,they) realized she (shit,they) only had 4 items instead of her (erm,their)...

    Bill Burr VS Louis CK

    I got to see Bill Burr live in the summer and he was fantastic. I hadn't laughed that hard in a long time. His bit on Bruce Jenner was absolutely priceless (better than the modified version he later did on talk shows). Having said that, I still give the edge to Louis CK. He just strikes me as a...

    Yeah... no. Faxanadu is an action/platformer with some RPG elements (equipment upgrades and a bizarre level-up system).

    Hey dude, just because you regret having engaged me, doesn't mean I forced you into anything. How about taking responsibility for your own actions instead of blaming other people?

    There is no proof she is lying. There is no proof she is telling the truth. Deciding what to "believe" in the absence of evidence is not only futile, but clearly counterproductive as it allows people to insert their own ideologies as a substitute for actual evidence, as we see here with all the...
