    Short Film The Liars Chair Introduces an Unconventional Bounty Hunter

    I enjoyed this quite a bit, actually; great dialogue with a likeable anti hero. I'd definitely like to see this character in a feature length movie. I liked the lengthy dialogue scene. It's was, obviously, very Tarantino inspired, but with some originality. It's well shot, well acted and...

    [Update 2] How/why are console gamers satisfied with 30 fps?

    Because I don't care and I don't think any console gamer cares. It's not a huge difference at all and we don't play games for the frame rate. People who care about stuff like that buy a gaming PC, don't they? Not that increased frame rate and extra pretty graphics aren't nice,of course; shiny...

    Problems that men have to deal with

    I nearly missed out on some very much needed therapy because of the whole "men don't need that gay shit" mindset. Man's biggest enemy is itself. I went to group therapy after a while and I was the only guy there, out of about ten people plus therapists.

    Old social values you could get behind

    But... Vaginas are all that matters... But obviously, all the people you mentioned should get preferential treatment. Doesn't mean letting a lady through a door first or helping her with her bags isn't a nice thing to do. Don't get me wrong, I try to be nice and polite to EVERYONE but the...

    Why are we afraid of criticism?

    I'm scared of criticism because it has BIG scary HAIRY SPIDER LEGS and those SOUL MUNCHING eyes. Fucking scary... Also, I think a lot of it depends on how the criticism is delivered and what exactly is being criticised. There's a shocking lack of constructive criticism, too. There just seems...

    Old social values you could get behind

    Being a classy gentleman! Holding doors open and all that shit! I don't think it's that popular, any more; letting women onto a bus or through a door first seems like an alien concept to some people.

    I'd Buy That For A Woolong

    I see SOME similarities here and there, when compared with Cowboy Bebop, but not much. most notably is the quality of soundtrack, which I'll get to in a bit. As for this episode: I really liked it. I've fucking loved this show since ep one, and I say that as someone who is very picky with...

    What does your birthday mean to you?

    For my last birthday I went to work, had a normal work day then bought alcohol and watched a lot of "Archer." That was a good birthday to me. I just don't care about anything to do with birthdays, other than the money and excuse to drink during the week. I've never had a really good birthday...

    Did you just call him gay?

    You don't talk about fight class. Am I the first one to make that joke?!? I didn't check, thought I should get it in there fast (that's what she said...). But OT: It's always good to stand up to bullies. And on the subject of the description being over dramatic: Yeah, it is. Cringe worthy...

    Did you just call him gay?

    To be honest, if someone said "he's trying to touch you're dick" I'd say "God, I hope so" and give him a little wink. I like to aggravate people, too, so I'd have likely done something to try and push him into a fight. Well, I don't really LIKE aggravating people but I can't help myself.

    Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro Team for New Silent Hill

    I am happy. Very happy. This could be the perfect team up. Kojima doing a Silent Hill game has been a thing for a while now, but with Del Toro on board, we have some genuine horror expertise in the mix. Plus, he should be able to keep Kojima's more... Frustrating aspects in check.

    Anita Sarkeesian + Hitman Absolution = Epic Fail

    The Hitman series in general has some sexist, creepy stuff in it involving sexual violence against women. But the player is never told to do that unless the actual target is a woman (Pretty darn rare in the series). Even then, they're not told to pose them (I don't think? I know some posing was...

    When should an actors ethnicity be important when adapting a fictional character?

    I definitely agree with that, but I think it's pretty rare for there to be only one perfect actor. There's a lot of talented actors and actresses in the world. Idris Elba, though, is actually perfect for every role ever. But he can't be in everything, for whatever reason.

    When should an actors ethnicity be important when adapting a fictional character?

    My question for whenever this topic comes up, is "Why should the ethnicity be changed?" There's no real valid reason other than "progression," which is a complete bullshit reason, in my opinion. It feels very much like "throwing the dog a bone," if anything. If studios wanted to be progressive...

    NBC's Constantine Casts Con-Job's Zed, as Liv Departs

    Are they reshooting the whole pilot, or what? This kind of makes me think it was leaked on purpose, you know. I know people who watched it say this Liv is pretty much the centre of the show and the motivation for everything John does. But, I've said it once and I'll keep fucking saying it...
