    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    It gets helped a lot by Generations being so fucking horrific. There's also a meta plot in the film of Q finally proving to Picard that he's not the enlightened person he believes himself to be. If you go back and watch the episode where Q introduces the Enterprise to the Borg (and really...

    How can you say that? He's got the horn this time! THE MOVIES ARE THE TRUE FINALE OMG. I'm probably going to be a little salty over this forever.

    Wait, did yo think I was joking? I was not telling a joke. If I had any writing skills at all I'd start penning a Crippled Masters reboot with all differently-abled transgender characters and it wouldnotbe a comedy anymore than the original was a comedy. If you haven't seen it the original...

    Man, if I was script writer I'd immediately pen a remake of Crippled Masters with all disabled transgenders and start shopping it around. This forum seriously is just full of awesome ideas. It's too bad I have no talent to combine with them.

    That kind of thing is common in modern comedies. You just start filming and let everyone riff for a while. It's usually terrible.

    What happened is that Sony Pictures Co-Chairman Amy Pascal was criticized for paying women actors less and then went on to defend paying them less - Then to prove her feminist chops she greenlit an all female ghostbusters film and everyone involved went on to call people critical of the picture...

    It's just fans being snarky and turned into a little bit of a meme but the way the panels are laid out you do get that impression.

    Nintendo releasing a mini version of the classic NES this holiday.

    There were some games where I would get stuck and just be unable to get any farther formonthsbut because I only had so many games I'd keep going at it. I remember getting stuck in Kid Icarus in the first dungeon or getting stuck on some tricky platforming in Contra or finally figuring out a...

    Nintendo releasing a mini version of the classic NES this holiday.

    Kid Icarus was the first Nintendo game I owned. The only NES I could get didn't come with a game and I had saved just enough for the base system plus one game and that was the one I picked. I only ever got the best ending once and couldn't ever repeat it. It wasn't until just a few years ago...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    For not liking it very much as a kid I have come to like it just fine upon reevaluation years and years later. I feel the same about Nightmare on Elm Street 2 Freddy's Revenge. Didn't like it much at the time and then remembered it always as "the bad one." Now I think it is pretty good.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I was very disappointed during the start of the film when the Ghostbusters weren't Ghostbusters. I had been watching the cartoon for years and I didn't like at all that they weren't heroes and weren't even in business. I didn't have the language to explain it when I was nine but I knew it just...

    Right in the Feels Songs

    Going to be hard as fuck when Tim Curry passes away to even listen to this - They are known for their radio singles but every Everclear album has some songs on it that have some real emotion behind them Cliche' to cite Blue by Yoko Kanno but I've always reallyreallyliked the song

    The last movie I saw was Green Room. It has Anton Yelchin it and was written/directed by Jeremy Saulnier. He also did Blue Ruin from 2013 that was pretty good. Green Room was also pretty good. I only really knew about either because the guys at Red Letter Media occasionally do a video where they...

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    One of the things that I find unfortunate about modern film making is that making money isn't enough for the studios anymore. They want to makecrazymoney AND have a franchise on their hands. They don't want to just make a Ghostbusters film that people like and is financially successful. They...

    If it's better than people were expecting that's fine with me and it makes the actions of the studio even more ridiculous. If any of the reviewers I care about give it anything along the lines of "eh, it was alright" or better I'll go catch a matinee.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    There's a review embargo so the only reviews you are seeing are from people who were given permission. Even if there wasn't a bit of a selection process from the studios the people with that privilege have an incentive to make positive reviews. Having early access and being first to critique a...

    I'm still not against seeing it but shit like those RT reviews keeps me away. That site used to be decent and now their first week reviews of a major release are all obviously cherry-picked? C'mon.

    Everyone I know that plays those formats uses proxies. Putting a deck together takes time so there's no reason to not proxy up what you want to build and start playing with it the first afternoon. WotC says proxies are a no-go and doesn't even want stores running events in which they are allowed.
