    Mr Plinkett Last Jedi Review

    What leadership? A gambit that would have backfired if the bad guys actually had any braincells between them? Sitting back and letting your forces get whittled down to next to nothing? Not giving any basic briefing on the apocalyptic situation your forces are now in? Reacting to an insubordinate...

    Why Do People Keep Saying We Need More Escapism?

    That's exactly the problem though. It doesn't do that, instead rewriting the Klingons into being space jihadists with no depth into their motives beyond the most superficial. The series finale ends up being an endorsement of US regime change (and that's not exactly gone well recently now has...

    Analysts say Battlefield 5 may put EA's financial guidance at risk.

    Last Battlefield one that was good was in 2008. We lamented it back then and no one cared. It's a bit strange now to doomsay over it especially with Doom, Wolfenstein and Ion Maiden to look at.

    Analysts say Battlefield 5 may put EA's financial guidance at risk.

    You're forgetting that the criticism of the token nature of the single player modes of the CoD and Battlefield games post MW2/Bad Company 1 has been a long standing discussion. Not to mention EA already pulled the stunt of not having single player with the Battlefront reboot and it worked. The...

    Like everyone else on this board, superhero films are apparently great and you only like them/dislike the bad/good ones for reasons other than the actual filmmaking.

    You should try being a non-Anglo looking at American Superhero/Nerd Culture. It's dementedly right-wing when you stop and think about it.

    You ask this while using a My Little Pony avatar, aren't you in your 30's?

    I just find the reaching for historical precedents to justify what is an intentionally anachronistic cast funny. It makes me think of Monkey Dust's "Hollywood Anne Frank" sketch.

    "It's like, a nightmare!" Yeah, not looking forward to this one...

    I doubt the all-American Fuck Yeah World War II Beat Them Nazzys fun action game with Cricket Boudica is going to try to accurately portray the Eastern Front.
