James Wan needs to drop the smelly fish superhero and come back to direct bonkers horror movies. I want more ridiculous pseudo-Gallio that suddenly turns into a wire-fu action flick.
M’three’gan hit some of the notes at times but took itself a bit too seriously at times.

It was fun but not quite Malignant fun. Hopefully they got full camp on the next one.
- Comment on Julia Louis-Dreyfus Calls ‘Bulls—‘ Over Complaints That ‘Comics Can’t Be Funny Now’ Due to P.C. Culture: It’s Not an ‘Impossible Time to Be Funny’ 1 week ago:
And let’s not forget about the guy who made the Seinfeld show what it was had an amazing run with his own show Curb your enthusiasm.
Not quite as spicy as Always Sunny but certainly had more punch that Seinfeld.
The common thread is it is hilarious to make the terrible people the butts of the jokes, not the minorities. It also helps running with some aspects as a joke (Mack’s closeted gay in Sunny) and having them pay out emotionaly.
Being gay is not the joke like before “PC”, the repression of it, the forced toxic masculinity is. But I guess that’s a bit harder than kicking down so some conservative comedies are just crying they can’t just do it like before.
Since when was comedy, especially edgy comedy, about doing the same thing as before? What happened to pushing the envelope?
Who wants the hear the same tired old jokes? Innovate or make space for new voices.

Nice dodge with a non-answer.
- Comment on 31 years ago, Jurassic Park was released 2 weeks ago:
I’m old enough to have watched it as a kid. I had read the novel with a friend sharing his book and reading it together.
Both where awesome. I distinctively remember hearing a baby crying in the theater and thinking about those stupid parents.

And his elders used to say the same old thing about him and his generation.
- Comment on VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now 3 weeks ago:
Furiosa also has some absolutely bonker stunts. Furry Road was going to make the pole boys using CGI but the stunt team told Miller they could do it for real. Furiosa has a bunch of insane motorcycle stuff, aerial stuff, and trucks climbing steep hills, many of them probably too dangerous to do with people.
- Comment on VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now 3 weeks ago:
Trailers have long been known to use shots that didn’t quite have the final VFX work.
- Comment on VFX artist explains why CGI in films is worse now 3 weeks ago:
I’ve heard it had a small budget. For some reason, I had in mind $35 million and the result was impressive for that budget. Turns out it was $15 million!
Great movie overall elevated even more with fantastic VFX work to boot. Reminds me of old classics like Terminator 1 with a then unproven director James Cameron flexing his VFX background to achieve his big vision on screen stretching a relatively small budget (albeit T1 had his budget increased during production).

I give this acquisition a 6… out of 10. It sucks.
- Comment on Rumours point to Total War: Star Wars in the works at Creative Assembly 1 month ago:
Yep, even Dune 1 had proto RTS elements mixed in with the more classic adventure stuff. The sequel really cemented the traditional RTS fundamentals.
- Comment on Rumours point to Total War: Star Wars in the works at Creative Assembly 1 month ago:
With a big image from the Dune universe on the title. Now Dune Total War would be interesting. It also happens to be the IP that was used for the grand father of RTS games.

- Comment on Are trailers revealing too much again nowadays? 1 month ago:
Yep, the T2 trailer giving away the biggest twist comes to mind. Older trailers straight up went over the key plot points.
I used to watch trailers religiously and completely stopped. Getting fully surprised by the movie itself is so great.
I read up people’s reaction to the trailers but no longer watch them. Or only after watching the movie because some trailers are amazingly well made.
It’s kind of weird at cinemas where I would close my eyes or look around and ignore the trailers.
I’m bringing back that feeling of watching a movie and knowing only what the poster looks like and remembering how fun that was. Sometimes I don’t even know the genre of the movie.

I only saw a YouTuber make fun of their “Christopher Columbus did nothing wrong video” (not the actual title).
Their argumentation is terribly weak.

Imperium was very interesting. He plays an undercover fed in a US white supremacists/neo nazi group. Quite the change of pace.

- Comment on 70 percent of devs unsure of live-service games sustainability 2 months ago:
You’ve described the AA/indie scene which took the chunk of the market big publishers abandoned including whole genres of games.
The problem is investors saw the line go way up, passing even Hollywood so to keep it riding forever they apply Hollywood-sized solutions.
Except you can’t just shuffle live services a few weeks around another so you can milk the box office. They want us to spend all our time in their game services so people will pick one game for a time so they are cannibalizing each other and eroding trust as games fail and abandon the players that did buy into them.

There’s good schlock and there’s bad schlock. OG trilogy had a bit of both but after that it was very hit and miss.

Assets are humongous compared to code and their tools probably integrate with more reasonable asset management solutions.

- Comment on If Hitler was captured, what would have been his punishment in the Nuremberg Trials? 2 months ago:
That is assuming the Soviets would have handed him over. I bet Stalin would have him flown to Moscow for the biggest show trial ever. Ignoring most of his other henious crimes to focus on what he did to the Slavic people of the Soviet Union.
Followed by a bullet the head unless Stalin would have asked for some special public execution but I doubt it.
