It's important to note that it's made by Jonathan Glazer whose previous movie, Birth (2003), had no shortage of brilliance. Also the director of the videos of Karma Police and Street Spirit for Radiohead!

It seems Tomb Raider is a brand that is more strongly linked to Sony, because the PS4 version sold almost three times more than the Xbox One version... A strange console cycle is starting.

"No kill" and "no fight" are two different things though. See Metal Gear Solid.

Actually pre-orders are tracked now, so while it is difficult to say how much of an impact they will have on console sales, it gives some comparison possibilities: Titanfall on Xbox One is currently the most pre-ordered title in the US (230k), but it's released at about the same time as...

It's still very close in the US. The latest US numbers available (up to February 1st) indicate a 52/48 lead for the PS4 in total units sold, but a 58/42 lead for the PS4 during the last week. It will be interesting to see how things evolve once the pilling up for the japanese launch is done...

Well... the last time she was in a movie it was 65 years ago and more than 50 years for TV! The more you know!

"[...]that defies explanation." RED FLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!

Just finished watching this show from the start to the current episode. Much to my surprise I like it a lot more than BBC's Sherlock. Obviously the difference in format plays a great part (20ish episodes seasons allow for better character development than seasons that span 3 episodes), but the...

What are the objective, quantifiable stats that show James' superiority over Durant when it comes to defense this season? I am asking because Durant makes more steals and more blocks per game than James.

QWOP is the only game I can think of where the comedy is the result of gameplay. It's brilliant.

The only players that can be compared as far as career achievements go are the ones that are retired.

The vietnamese guy who created it is blowing a gasket because of the attention it generated and will soon remove the game from the stores. He is probably scared of the tax collector too because he made several hundred thousand bucks without being prepared for it and I am not sure he planned to...

I don't think you understand what 5 million means when talking about video game sales: 5 million is the number of worldwide sales of Assassin's Creed 2 on X-Box 360. That's Resident Evil on PlayStation. That's Professor Layton and the Curious Village on Nintendo DS... I also "wouldn't be...

What constitutes a "real reason" is very dependent on each individual situation. At this point there may be no "must have" exclusive, but both machines have reasonably solid exclusives and the best console versions of trans-generational games. Providing you don't have super specific tastes...

Growing up I had two buddies that were so fan of the show that they made their very own VHS pack for each season with home crafted wooden boxes that looked like $500 collector editions... Considering I did not value their taste in movies very much, I think their fanatical enthusiasm turn me off...

In case of my 3) above, they'll make a non-VR version because it's tough to make money when you sell 10'000 copies of a game.

I would love to see the business plan of an Occulus-Rift-only game. I see three options: 1) Bankrolled by the Rift makers 2) Glorified tech demo 3) No business plan.

Saw it today. The movie should have decided for a theme and stick to it. As it stands, there are like 7 storylines and ultimately none feel satisfying. A bit of a shame because several of them were promising. For my money, the biggest mistake of this production is that the director, Jos...

Acting is a very weird job. You have Mastroianni who famously said it's the easiest job in the world, that he is just an empty box being driven around and told what to do, but you also have Day-Lewis who spends all his time in character and you also have people, presumably like Hoffman, for...

I laughed out loud.

Maybe most people do, but not everyone. I certainly don't.

There are conflicting reports about what happened during the development of FFXII, but one way or the other, he did not see the project to its completion, so that might be why potential backers have cold feet. That and mobile phone.

I have not seen that match, but I glanced through an article about it and it felt like that 1-0 could have been a 4-3, so not really a case of an impregnable defense scoring on one of its three counter-attack.

Teaser for round two: Federer announced he will play the tie against Kazakhstan! Now let's just hope both him and Wawrinka will be fit and that they'll not choose a clay court, because the last time they built one, the bounces were so unreliable it became impossible to play rallies.

I would add two things: 1) What the hell is the point of making a movie out of a book if it's not to make the material your own or at least shine an original light on it? 2) Belfort, the people that rushed to his company after the WSJ article, the people that go to his seminars... not one...

DC: R1D3 Czech Republic beat the Netherlands. Berdych did what Berdych does in Davis Cup: win. Japan beat Canada. Nishikori was the heavy favorite against Dancevic, but the Canadian had to retire, maybe paying a toll for a third match in three days. Great Britain beat the USA. A...

Let's hope it's some hoax...

I must say I had difficulties empathizing with the marital and substance abuse problems of a billionaire and difficulties finding anything funny when in the back of my head I know Belfort cashed a juicy check for the right of his book while still not paying the money he owes. Ultimately I find...

Raonic is not taking part in the tie and Pospisil is in Japan but injured. If he made the trip while injured, I assume it's because they had some hope that he would be fit to play at some point, so maybe he'll play Nishikori tomorrow. With Raonic, Pospisil and double specialist Nestor, Canada...

By this metric, the best film ever is Jeanne et le gar?on formidable (Jeanne and the perfect guy) a french musical about AIDS from the late '90s. The film stars the amazingly beautiful Virgine Ledoyen (that you might have seen in The Beach by Danny Boyle with Di Caprio) and at time there were...

The first hour is brilliant other than a couple scenes that do not work so well. The film then turns more drama than comedy and is not as good (but still has its moments). Plotologists will point out that there is a twist that does not work, but I will point out that it's not really supposed to...

If you can make good Batman movies with Michael Keaton, I am sure you also can do some with Ben Affleck.

DC: R1D2 Czech Republic vs Netherlands: 2-1 Four tight sets were needed for the Czech to bag a point that could prove decisive. Haase will have to beat Berdych to keep the dutch hopes alive. Canada vs Japan: 1-2 On home turf, Japan relied on Nishikori to win the double. Dancevic will...

Hehe I saw bits of that match. Ibaka also sit the fourth and he was at 12/12 for shooting. Brooks could have left him on the floor until he missed one! Damned be reasonable people...

Day 1 of the first round of Davis Cup: Czech Republic vs Netherlands: 1-1 Robin Haase managed managed to beat Stepanek in five sets. Maybe it opened a tiny window of opportunity as the double might be competitive and as the dutch N?2, Sijsling, can play some good tennis. Canada vs Japan...

I saw some bits of 1982 Tron two days ago and it seriously did not age well at all. Obviously the special effects and blue screen tech are dated, but the real problems are ugly visual design, some very cheap costumes and really a 'bunch of buddies having fun in their backyard' level of stunts. I...

In the movie Troy, there was a very cool (though ultimately manipulative) moment: A video shot of a beach with a voice over saying that a battle happened here more than 3 thousand years ago and that we are still talking about it (it's manipulative because the location of the city is unclear, in...

The problem I had with Ted was that 90% of the jokes were based on somewhat lazy pop culture references. Given the context of this movie, he does not have this crutch so it might very well be funnier.

PSP Go. The fact you don't even remember it along with its abysmal sales are good indicators that consumers were not exactly in high demand for that formula. Now maybe it was a victim of a pricing that was a bit too high and a PSN store that then was not very attractive with its offers, but...

It's a GameCube game designed to be played with four players, each using a GBA as controller. Supposedly, all 16 people who managed to play through the game like that said it was awesome.
