I was like "this is retarded!" and then I remembered that I used to say "Radiateur ?lectrique" (electric heater) in an attempt to make tennis players lose their focus on key points. While watching TV of course. Why electric heater you ask? I have no idea. I guess the random nature of it was...

Well... instead of an adaptation that would be original material. Color me cautiously pessimistic.

I am a big fan of Dragon Quest, must I must say IX left me underwhelmed. Let's hope they do better this time!

That item mode in TGM2 was fun! And single player double is some mutant stuff.

An amazing game in more ways than one.

I must confess that I tried playing Bastion last September and its terrible terrible frictionless combat made me drop it very very fast (54 minutes says Steam). Also, since the narrator thing has been copied to death after it, it lost all of its freshness for those who play the game now. Did not...

Or just have a magic johnson!

As far as I am concerned, the Hogan sex tape came from the wrong family member.

Silly questions: since exoplanets are detected by the dimming of the light that occurs when they travel between us and their star, doesn't it mean that 1) Planets that have very long years will take a very long time multiplied by three or four to be detected? 2a) Planets that don't have an orbit...

Since this is a bit like the "general video game thread" I have a question: Tembo The Badass Elephant? Anyone played that? I don't like the art style, but it's made by Game Freak. That's the studio that makes Pok?mon (whatever), but I am mostly intrigued because a few years back they made a...

While not super original, I really like the structure of the show. Maybe they should have put the ellipsis after 3 episodes instead of 4, but maybe they didn't have 5 episodes worth of investigation. The lines are still problematic though... What noble savage said about the different...

We really have no idea who killed Semyon's right hand man.

My question is only semi-rhetorical. I can't think of scene without any of those 5 characters, but that does not mean there isn't. This type of narrative focalization favors situations where we don't understand wtf is going on, because the characters also don't. The ripple effect of some...

Was there any scene in all episodes so far that did not have in it one of the 4 main characters or Birdman?

The fraudsters already proved a low level of morality and a reasonable level of ingenuity. I am not sure I would mess with such guys, because that could backfire. That said, if their little trick put them in the clear when it comes to paypal, I don't see how it is legal, so it should be possible...

That visit to the parents is an exposition scene to show the kind of man Velcoro is. It works very well because it manages to say a lot of things about the man in a short and enjoyable scene. If anything, the lack of repercussion for it, also helps paint a context of distrust with local...

It's a remake of Saturday Night Fever. It's all about Stayin' Alive.

Lubezki is also the cinematographer of the XXIst century Terrence Malick movies (New World, Tree of Life, To The Wonder and up and coming Knight of Cups). So yes he is a badass of the highest order.

Just played throughHer Story. It's a game about understanding a police case by browsing a database of interview clips. As you jump around within the chronology of the 7 depositions, little by little you understood what happened and who are the different characters of the story. The...

I hear some of the original Ghostbusters was shot in L.A. Imagine that!Ghostbusters (1984) - Filming Locations - IMDb

Was it already posted? Hits close to home these days. (40 seconds in).

And most importantly: that came through. We noticed that watching the episode.

Just saw this in a festival. It gets my seal of approval also. Very strange distanced humor, but very effective, and the plot does not have a gram of fat on it. Very good movie. PS: Good thing I searched before posting!

Saw this the other day in a festival and it's being released across europe these days. Since it has been released in Mexico too, I guess it can be found by anyone interested. Marshland is a very very classic 'cops sent to the boonies end up investigating fucked up murders with more...

The tracking shot of season 1 could not be topped in its category, but the shootout in this latest episode is also extraordinary. I don't remember seeing such an epic train wreck. There are examples in movies and TV shows of police operations that go wrong, but usually that means cops deaths or...

To put things into perspective, if you change the outcome of a grand total of 3 points in the whole match, Federer wins in straight sets (set point in the first set, break point in the third, game point in the third), so making definitive conclusions based on a close match where both had...

The subject matter is very perilous and I doubt it will be handled with the care it deserves.

A few years back there was a guy in France who did something similar. That was not chemotherapy, it was urostomy (hole in the abdomen to redirect the urinary flow through it) and stoma bag (a bag to collect the urine that now exits constantly from your side)... I am not sure how reversible the...

I find it difficult to be that categorical. What happened today? 1st set: Federer was a break ahead thanks to a string of brilliant plays returning. He lost that lead immediately because he missed to many first serves and Djokovic played a brilliant passing shot. He had a couple set points on...

I wonder what was the death toll for that 2nd set breaker. I know it almost got me. These guys should be sponsored by pacemaker manufacturers...

It has nothing to do with being out of ideas and everything to do with predictability. It's very difficult to know how something new will fare, while market studies can give a pretty good idea of what kind of money a remake/reboot/sequel/franchise will do, so you can budget it accordingly. Also...

Well... I am the first to be disappointed but I was at a movie festival and I only saw the first 8 games of the Federer vs Murray match. On the up side I got to see the only break point Federer faced! The only thing I can say is that I am slightly worried that he peaked too early. He played...

A dirty photochop in more ways than one:

10,000 different creatures can seem like a lot or seem like very few. Let's say there are evenly split between air, ground and water, that they have 5 sizes, and have two dominant colors out of 10 shades. Suddenly, you have only 7 different creatures walking in the whole universe... I assume it...
