Matrix worked at the time because it had a lot of unique visual elements and cyberpunk as a genre had not made it to the masses yet (or at least not since the original Blade Runner) in anything resembling a good movie. I really think it was one of those "at the right place at the right time"...

Of the three you mention, I think the Vikings are the worst. They have only been in control of a game once this season and pissed away a two score lead to Ryan fucking Tannehill. They might have the worst D in the entire NFL which is really saying something this year. Lions have looked...

FF12 is basically star wars with several character arcs. First is the two kids in an occupied nation. Then there is the disgraced knight and abandoned princess seeking revenge. Then is Fran and Leading Man trying to unfuck things his father unleashed on the world. The finale is basically the...

Either she is just getting more powerful over time (Homelander maybe is too) or she was holding back to keep a low profile.

She is Captain Marvel (the real one they call Shazam now) actually. I think she is on or close enough to his level that it would be a close fight. My theory is the same as others, in that she and the Vought CEO are basically allies of convenience. CEO wants to make money, she is the actual...

Yeah this might be the worst the NFC Least has been in a decade and that is really saying something. Other concerning thing is how shitty most Defenses are. Its like we are playing in the steroid era of baseball with the amount of points being scored.

Wilson will likely get the MVP award this year, if for no other reason than Seattle D sucking so bad he has to hold up the whole team himself. But I think two people who deserve consideration are likely Newton and Rivers. Both guys are essentially revitalizing their careers and the offenses...

Nice work positioning the table so none of us can see that dilbo that pokes out of the bottom of that seat.

He is credited as Love Sausage in the end credits.

How can you trust her to make good judgement calls when she married you? This is the logic I use on my wife to piss her off royally LOL.

I think the idea behind MVP is the guy who makes the most difference in if his team wins or loses. In the past when he had Lynch to lean on and that ridiculous defense, Wilson could not really make that claim as decisively. I think he can make a better argument for it now, especially with the...

David Grohl is an amazing talent and arguably one of the best drummers of the modern era (source- his contributions to QotSA), but yeah Nirvana is not otherwise remarkable in terms of talent. They were at the right place at the right time with the right song to set off the grunge era...

"It was her turn." But seriously, the lack of votes probably has everything to do with Wilson not getting them close to a ring since Lynch packed his bags and the fact that everyone who plays with him hates him. Also, his signature move of "toss it deep and wait for the flag" grates on a lot...

He always has a great season any year he dumps his beard and starts hitting the D hard again. But also he has been injury prone lately and is getting up there in age, so I can see him not being considered top five prior to the season. But on the other hand he has done everything Russel Wilson...

As a Packer Fan, I am obviously happy they are 2-0 with a pair of division wins. LaFleur clearly met Rogers halfway on the run pass balance (I think we have been damn near 50% this season) and is letting him open things up more. The Offensive Line is clicking. The Defense is suspect at the...

Bethesda has it in their heads that every game needs to be a shitty MMO lite online grind fest lately. Until there is a clear indication they are finally making a new fucking engine and developing a pure standalone Elder Scrolls, I am done with that franchise entirely.

The irony here is that the one IP that I actually still gave the slightest fuck about at Bethesda fucked up so bad with Fallout 76 that I have zero incentive to get an Xboner. Had FO76 never existed, they probably would have gotten my money to buy a new console for FO5. And I know I am far...

I had a friend who was into them early, like Cocks and Socks tour era who clued me in to them. I generally agree that when Rick Rubin and Smith joined was the shift, I just think it took them an album to iron out a new sound without it being all samey mainstreamish. Case in point, I think...

And Justice For all, speaking as someone who is not really into metal per se but a musician, was just not anything I really enjoyed. Black, for all its sell out nature and other flaws, was something you could listen to and not want to skip over for the most part. I personally prefer Ride the...

Overrated: REM Automatic for the People- Outside of Drive, it was all overplayed samey shit that annoyed the hell out of me to listen to. I _MIGHT_ have liked Man on the Moon if it had not been overplayed by 1000% at the time. And you could not fucking watch 20 minutes of MTV without...

Well, the pendulum went the other way after ARs were the super weapon of the previous game. Wife and I are about halfway through and its just fucking pointless to use them. I feel pretty much the exact same way about rocket based weapons, at least past the initial few points of the game. They...

I do fondly remember how divisive opinions were on Prometheus, especially here. That move was both great and terrible in various ways.

Edit- And about Aliens 2, it took the whole franchise in a more action less horror direction, but it stands out to me as the quintessential 80s action sci-fi movie (along with Predator) and holds up fairly well to the present. Biggest problem I have with it is that if you do not see the...

Biggest problem with Alien 3 was that Dark Horse had some amazing ideas in comic book form for where to take the series, like Earth War, that never got realized because they decided to not use those ideas and just make a prison reboot of the first alien movie. Now, there were some good things...

FF4 had Summons as major plot points, as did FF6 to a lesser degree. Having said that, if they have such a fucking hardon to make an action RPG they should use FF12 as the template for that instead of trying to make Generic Action Single Character RPG in FF Setting. The setting at least looks...

I guess that means Fallout is officially dead forever, at least as a single player experience. Now watch them sue InExile into the ground over Wasteland violating their IP.

Well considering I met my wife playing EQ, I cannot poop on online dating entirely I guess. But the swipe generation just seems so shallow that I have a hard time seeing those sites (specifically the ones you listed) as more than meat markets.

Thats why its bullshit. For swinging dicks like Khane who just want to bang and not settle down, its perfect. For actual dating to make a relationship, its shit. People lie enough about themselves in person when trying to score a date as it is. Plus your description rattled off four red...

Dare we ask how you ended up on that date? Sounds like someone outside your normal wheelhouse, or are you going through midlife crises dip my wick mode right now?

Before the race baiting crowd got the riots going with St Floyd, they had a false start with a guy who's name literally sounded like Armed Robbery who charged a guy with a shotgun who was trying to detain him for stealing tools from a construction site. The dudes family claimed he was just in...

Well this is also the issue with an age gap (assuming when you say punk girl she is young like the other one). You just cannot relate beyond the basic "I want to fuck you" impulse. Its fine if boinking is all you are about, but it gets old fast if you expect anything else. Punk girl just fast...

The action sequences were also really good. But yeah mainly the banter between Hammer and Cavil makes the movie awesome, especially the escape from the safe cracking sequence.

Actually I was basically saying old guys at companies tend to buy older shit out of habit and familiarity, as well as your sales force probably being stuffed with wall to wall dolled up 30 something women to reel in the money. Thats been my consistent experience sitting in on sales meetings...

If I were young enough to be chasing that kind of tail, the crazy cutter chick is more my speed. Plus the actress for that character is better than the generic chick they have playing Daniels ho-bag daughter.

The people who sign checks and make big purchase decisions are typically years behind the boots on the ground when it comes to technology, at least in my experience. One of the few things I liked about working at a community college was that most of the hardware choices were made by us grunts...

It stretches suspension of disbelief a bit, but also remember that space is a really big place and people tend to only talk about or retain information relevant to their day to day.

The show hits on something I felt when I watched the movie back when I was a kid. Daniel is a fucking douchebag entitled jersey boy who really came in and fucked with everyone. Frankly, he deserved a lot of the ass beatings he was being given. And yeah, Daniel's daughter being a stupid whore...

The elder at the compound knew about the Jedi, but it stands to reason that with them being basically wiped out for a couple decades the younger ones like Mando would not have heard much if anything about them. Even in the movies, only the core world people seemed to have any idea what a Jedi...

Underated: Man from Uncle, The Good Guys, Grosse Point Blank All three of these are very rewatchable, but have some slow burn aspect to them. Great humor and likable but flawed characters. Grosse Point Blank might be the only movie with Minnie Driver in it where I do not feel like punching...

If they let Kennedy fuck up the one remaining good SW IP, they deserve to be the ones who pull the Mouse down. Its a fucking travesty that they even let her set foot on the set of the show. You know Favreau sure as shit does not want her there after the complete shafting Abrahms got. Whether...
