    Jessica Jones Season 2. I made it as far as the middle of the season, then I gave up. Everything about this is boring as fuck. Nothing of note happens. The marvel netflix stuff in general is pretty weak, with only two villains (Kingpin and Purple Man) being interesting. What's worse than boring...

    Star Wars needs a reboot. Reboot the Original Trilogy, Reboot the Prequel Story, Reboot everything.

    I feel that on the scale that the Star Wars movies are at now, art just crumbles under its own weight and it cannot be helped. They have already shown their best efforts to save a damaged franchise and reboot the thing, and they wouldn't be able to do it better if they actually started from...

    Destiny 2 rolls back changes after Destiny 2 locks existing content behind paywall.

    I haven't been an active gamer in a while now due to lack of moneys, and I'm not really looking forward to getting back into it. So very much bullshit I witness from afar. I know talk of gamers as potential "whales" has been around for a while, but I heard it repeated on some RLM previously...

    Villains who had a point

    So I watched a supercut of the '97 Berserk show on youtube, and I don't think Griffith is a villain, necessarily. It doesn't even have anything to do with whether he personally has a point or not, because I just see the whole thing as a tragedy. I look at the story as a whole, not the characters...

    Netflix's "The Punisher", first 20 minutes

    ^ That's why I don't want Jigsaw to be back too soon, it would seem very limited

    What's the silliest premise you have heard for a horror movie/thriller?

    Surprised no one has posted this already. This was the first thing I thought about:

    Netflix's "The Punisher", first 20 minutes

    That first episode is basically a stand-alone. I watched through it and I think it was worth it, though it wasn't perfect. Actually if it was just "Frank needs new people to murder", I'd be fine with that, as that's what I am there for. But the story actually kept me interested for the most...

    Villains who had a point

    I just came back to say that this is really disturbing. Never read or watched any Berserk, but sounds to me like it's more of an "everything is miserable" kind of story rather than a good vs evil one. I guess this is how I would take it, anyway.

    Your most Unpopular Media Opinion

    Here's more! I didn't like the new Mad Max movie all that much. The action was great I guess, but I can't enjoy that if the story doesn't pull me in, which it did not. The beginning was alright, but that fades once they decide to go back to the base (whatever it's called), because from that...

    Your most Unpopular Media Opinion

    A few more, inspired by this thread: I love the Akira movie, which many people do, but I also think it's much better than the comic book. I found the first Alien movie so dull I could never sit through it, despite multiple attempts. I disliked the second movie also because I think that...

    Your most Unpopular Media Opinion

    The 90s Disney Beauty and the Beast was a terrifying tale of what Stockholm Syndrome can do to a person. That movie was written by means of a 'fill in the blanks' type of script; guy is a distant loner and an asshole but has some redeeming qualities the woman can see and these qualities...

    It's not ALWAYS "toxic," right?

    I have thought about this and I do think that the internet has something to do with it, which doesn't mean that the internet is to blame. When people read something stupid online, it might be written by people looking for a fight, or actively trying to annoy you, or by 14 year olds. In real...

    Things that you refer to by an out of date name

    I never even heard of B.C.E and A.C.E, and while I am not religious, I wouldn't use that. We can't hide our history, plus the new abbreviation doesn't make things better, does it. When you know where those numbers came from, you realize that they are calling christianity the common religion now...

    Entertainment recommendations that you regret following

    Yeah, regret is too strong a word here, but I have been waiting for a chance to tell people about my experience with Disneys Beauty and the Beast for a while now. That review of Spielbergs BFG on this page reminds me of my thoughts on that movie. It was my first date with a girl I had met on...

    And thus concludes Game of Thrones season 6.

    I'll mention the score to the intro again, it was exellent. It was quite different, but its effect reminded me of those few haunting notes right at the beginning of Terminator 2. Resolution to the Kings Landing storyline was satisfying, and I don't even think Cersei is insane. Not...
