I think Mr. Godard is a narrative, and structural, visionary. Most of his films' screenplays come across as intentionally experimental in conception and execution, but ultimately fleeting in intellectual staying power (probably due to the actual content of said screenplays riding shotgun to the...

Though your qualms about Django being something of an unemotional, and hence, "flat" character are generally spot-on, I feel that this is an instance of historical (albeit, annotated &/or exaggerated) "art imitates life". The depiction itself is probably more truthful a reflection of an...

Simple answer: yes, sort of. The creative/visual director(s) of this video should have hot pokers held to his/her/their palms for such an extremely sophomoric oversight (and this me giving Florence and the Machine the maximum allotted amount of benefit of the doubt).

I'd have to ask the quasi-subjective, pseudo-intellectual question "What constitutes a 'bad' tv program?". Speaking from my own personal tastes, I'd say dramas that initially tout that their show's settings/character(s)/plotline(s) are "relatable", but then have those things devolve into...

"Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the...

I think (@ minimum) cursory levels of device and network support/troubleshooting knowledge would be more aptly beneficial than software development at this point. It's not pertinent (yet) that the young know and master how to create software than how to maintain and troubleshoot it. This is...

I wouldn't go that far, but... not my style of play, all I'm sayin'. His style is identical to the old school of SF2 Sagat-style play adapted for her moveset & (lack of) health: pressure opponents with relentless fireball spam in accompaniment of odd timing and once-in-a-while throws, punish...

Nope. I gotta respectfully disagree on this one. Morrigan has far too many things she's not great @ in (U)MvC3 to be even remotely "kinda great". And I'm a bonafide Darkstalkers/Vampire Savior troll myself. Number #1: Mixup and crossover game is great, but her standing move priority ranges...

For a non-animated example I present to you good folks Cary Agos (played by Matt Czuchry), before he got pissed at getting the short end of the stick and went into hyper-smarmy-douchebag-with-hipster-bedhead mode:

Yep. Petey was gradually taken down several pegs after the original MvC due to his, & Wolverine's, spammerrific OTGs & juggles. Seriously... even if their health has always been on the frustrating side of low, their ability to combo from practically anywhere up close more than made up for it...

Firstly, nope. Secondly, yes, and here's why... :< You said it yourself. (Most) male writers can't write even halfway distinguishable, compelling female characters (period) worth a damn. And those that get lucky usually find their character either an amalgam of ready-at-hand...

I'll do you one better, Smeggs. * I'd like to see a AAA FPS shooter where main, or even a supporting character is a female soldier. Hell, I'd settle for actual female NPCs directly involved in the story arc(s). Oh yeah, they don't get credit for invoking commonly used female tropes/cliches to...

Fairly bombastic, yet eerily reflective and serene:

Reason why we keep seeing C. Redfield: Chris is a primary franchise character, and intensely popular in Japan. Full stop. His incessant drive to still do goodwill despite having a "cynist's outlook" regarding the apparent futility of his efforts make him crazy appealing to the Japanese...

I have to go with Borderlands: it wasn't a remarkable game when it was released by a lloonngg stretch, and solo'ing the campaign is an exercise in shaving thru your patience with a cleaver, but it's a hoot with a decent forum member (or three). I consider it the proto-Dead Island meself. :3...
