Dislike 😭

Just read Shawshank Redemption for the first time in Different Seasons. I think overall the movie is better because Tim Robbins' performance humanizes Andy more: Book Andy is the same guy, but because he is this stoic guy you lose the emotion Robbins' brings to his face. Still worth reading.

This implies that there are already police routinely at grocery stores?? So messed up!

I'm all for shitting on modern pokemon ,but thats a really specific and bad example, that thing is intentionally supposed to have a weird forms that are discordant and all over the place. Even mocking things should be done without cherry picking.

Where the hell is Dragon Quest 12?

I just watched it yesterday. Its a good movie, def some trigger warning stuff in there. I'm a bigger fan of Cloud and Cure by the same director, Cloud is phenomenal.

Nothing about it ever sat right with me. EA has been doing this shit for decades and it has never worked. I'm no expert, but it made MS feel like it had no brand image. "Look how much stuff we have!" sets of red flags as a sales pitch, and yea it sucks that now devs have to suffer.

I never played 3, but it also solved major problem I had with the first one where all the towns and environments felt barren and dead. Go back and try KH1, even at the time the jungle and the towns and the colosseum etc, they all feel like you are wandering through silent hill or something.

2 is definitely a better game, but its also where all the negative cliches about the narrative began. I also have a specific gripe with the final fight I won't spoil. Still probably the best game in the franchise.

The new Coroner album has some of the best guitar solos I've heard in decades, maybe ever. Tommy was always a great guitarist, but this is on an entirely different level. He has CLEARLY not sat still for the 33 years since Grin was released. Nobody sounds like this in 2025, every phrase is a song.

The Bluey episode "Shadowlands" is nowhere near as cool as you're hoping it is.

2025 is the worst year.

Can you imagine, in 2025, pitching the first movie of a planned multimillion dollar franchise and insisting that the first movie be called "Dr. No"? The 60's were wild, man.

I want literally any mainline DQ ports. We went an entire fucking console generation without any DQ preservation.

Why is it in Spanish

If you ever get the chance Pale Blue Dot is still a great book. The likelihood of any significant portion of the population EVER making it off earth isn't great. It's far more likely that a new society forms in space than most of us leaving. So less Star Trek and more The Expanse.

The story behind the Oblivion mod Terry Pratchett worked on This week, we passed the 10-year anniversary of beloved fantasy author Terry Pratchett passing away - a person whose in…

10 years gone but never forgotten. Here's the story behind the Oblivion mod Terry Pratchett worked on.

Random opinion: Cradle of Filth is one of the best legacy metal bands still making music, and I've never been given a satisfying reason why they get hated on so much.

"I need to work harder" he says as he looks at one of the best full time professional guitarists on instagram.

Limitations are a good thing. It forces you to get creative and frequently results in something that you would otherwise not have thought of. This one of the reasons why Haiku is such an enduring form of poetry, and why Shakespeare intentionally set limitations on his work (I believe his sonnets?)

Nintendo will never make another game like it, which is a huge shame. Least of all as a Zelda game, god-forbid that franchise do anything actually interesting again. MM was the sort of miracle that could only have happened exactly when it did. IMO the entire franchise started downward after MM.

Severance is the best TV show since Breaking Bad. No exceptions. If the mysteries it is teasing end up living up to their potential it will have THE best story in any show ever. I waited like 3 years for S2 and it is exceeding expectations.

Education is an easy scapegoat if the only way to justify a shitty worldview is declare provable knowledge a conspiracy.

SE has no fucking idea how to do voices. There is absolutely no middle ground between FF12 emotionless zombies and FF13 weeb cocaine dynamo Vanille.

I forgot Michael Schenker because I suck *facepalm

I want 12 plz

The most undeservingly hated movie ever. The fact that Howard The Duck gets so-bad-its-good status but Dune does not (or whatever, insert your favorite bad film here) is ridiculous. I've seen Lynch's Dune like 3 times and I always have fun.

Lol this must be why you haven't texted me back
