To be fair, if Curry had to defend James one on one he would also look pretty ridiculous!

Is everyone healthy on both teams?

Spending waaay too much time on youTube these past couple days....

Midichlorians?

Fun and not too hard? Tiny Toon Adventure on SNES?

Considering the work of H R Giger who designed the bestiary, there is very little doubt of the sexual nature of the facehugger.

My gigantic backlog shook on its base today as, 28 years after buying it, I finally beat Batman on NES. Never beat the 4th stage back in the days, but, with increased maturity and some advice from EndySWE who holds the 2nd best time for the speedrun of the game, the Joker got thrown off the top...

I still religiously watch this. I love that most episodes feel like they picked three topics out of a hat and dared themselves to craft a story that makes sense with all three. The balance between investigation and personal drama is also very well done. Not a huge fan of the two parts final...

It's pretty simple: Gore Verbinski directs? Good to great. Rob Marshall directs? Meh. Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg direct? Wait and see.

I was not masochistic enough to rewatch Prometheus before this one, but as far as I remember the engineers' planet was the one in Prometheus and what I gathered from the flashback sequence in Covenant was that it's taking place on a whole other planet.

These numbers are not all of the same nature! Those about where the action takes place add up to 100% The one about the Alien-ness of this film could only reach 100% if it was a shot for shot remake of Alien.

To answer @spronk

I am pretty sure some aspects of these games did not age well, but that should give me a reason to finally play them to completion.

It's pretty easy: one is the film where the main character goes back and forth through the whole ship to save a cat when a xenomorph is roaming, the other is the film with just about all the memorable sequences and characters associated with the Alien franchise.

My empire is built on the callous hands of a mid XXth century portuguese domestic worker! For shame!

I did eat her cooking but to my defense she died when I was a child! After a little investigation it happens that Rosa who worked for my grandparents from an early age and helped raise their three children was actually paid. Like with the woman in the article, she was a country girl with no...

This story is a bit similar to the one of the maid who worked for my grandparents. She had her room though and possibly maybe was paid? I shall investigate.

It is a lot better than Prometheus (which is not saying much), but it feels more like a spin off than a main line Alien movie as it is mainly about a "what if" scenario. You still get the religious bullshit on the side and a gooey center of philosophical babble, you also get the weirdest penis...

A friend of mine will be spending the better part of a year in Brisbane as an exchange student (17 year old). Obviously she will have some classmates to guide her around, but I thought I could ask around here too for some Aussie wisdom beforehand. My only guess is: be sure to use sunscreen...

Nice OT choke by Harden...

That Houston vs Dallas game 5 is pretty fun. A little bit of everything and a two points game at the half.

The NBA may be retarded, but in the MLB they are playing baseball...

Cont... Hamon: Yakuza Boogie - 4/5. A semi slacker that works as a middle man between mobsters and contractors finds himself teaming with an old school yakuza to find an old hustler more slippery than an oiled fish that conned too many powerful people. Nothing spectacular, but consistently...

Quick notes on some of the best asian films I saw at a festival out of the 60ish: I am not Madame Bovary - 5/5. Chinese arthouse administrative comedy about a women trying to get her fake divorce anuled so that she can divorce for real. A kind of satirical tongue in cheek version of Yimou's...

And the Real scored at least one goal in their previous 50ish matches or something equally silly, so the Atletico might need five goals in the return leg.... Let's just say that the Atletico is not Barcelona and that the Real is not Paris, so... yeah.

Crazy first half in the Real-Atletico match. The tempo is very high and the technical mastery is impressive. I am not sure the players can survive another 45 min with such intensity.

Not all movies can be Roar!

Saw this the other day... it's bad in many ways. That being said, even in such terrible film, totaly disconnected from reality and that feels like it's being produced by the ministries of tourism of India and Dubai, you still find here and there moments of brilliance in fight choreography and...

@Kiroy I am curious, I have a lot of free time and I pay $40 a month to see as many films as I want in a chain of multiplex (15 screens in my town). :)

I am not sure this movie exists. I wish it would have been Logan and that's why I said the project is kinda cool. I am not a comic book reader, but my understanding is that one of the interesting things with super hero comics is that many different authors can offer non-canon takes on some...

The last Werner Herzog (Salt & Fire) was some incredibly craptacular stuff though. It makes Logan looks like some sort of masterpiece in comparison! Really enjoyed his amazingly crazy take on Bad Lieutenant from a few years back though (it danced the whole way through on a fine line between...

To be fair, the project of the film is pretty cool (a kind of anti-superhero movie / road movie / post western with a R rating and cinephile influence), but what parts of it are well executed? Not many. The action is nothing special (other than having Wolverine cutting people... yay?), the plot...

I think this movie mostly suffers from being an adaptation. The main problem being that the changes made to the plot and world shift the themes toward something that is a lot less interesting. Namely, it goes from a universal questioning about the nature of identity and the very poetic dawn of a...

I have not seen it yet, but from what I hear, people are unhappy with this adaptation because of the lack of this:

We are leaving the ridiculous to enter the realm of the legendary... Federer just won in Miami beating US youngster Tiafoe, Del Potro, an in form Bautista Agut, Berdych (saving match points!), Kyrgios (in three breakers!) and Nadal in the final with a clean 6-3 6-4. It's the second time in his...
