You take a photo, bu...

I've seen the updated model and I think the new one looks better. I find Nightdive are excellent at updating things to have the same feel as the original. Besides, the Cyborg Midwife was always scary because of her soothing, but electronic voice saying "I'll tear out your spine." That was always the...

If this had the same level of attention given to the environments as it had the character models, I'd have been interested. It feels like there's a new version of System Shock 2 released every 5 years or so, but they only ever update the enemies and weapons, the level geometry looks identical to the...

Well I'm certainly excited. Villeneuve is my favourite director of the last decade.

If no Americans die they might call it quits at that like they did with Soleimani. I'm assuming Israel will push for more no matter what. If it were Obama in charge, sure, but Trump? He's trying to do the dictatorial strongman act. It doesn't matter if he attacked first, Iran have attacked him . It...

https://i.postimg.cc/h49dZkG4/IMG-2327.jpg These things are really well written. And, innevitably: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn7ze4vmk2pt So I'm guessing that's another round of airstrikes from the US on all of the launchers? Maybe a quick killing of the Supreme Leader? You know, a proportion...

Wait, do we have Uber here now?

Wait, they called the previous film "Dead Reckoning Part 1", and the immediate sequel is called "Final Reckoning" and not "Dead Reckoning Part 2"? The naming scheme for MI films has confused me in the past (I accidentally watched a later film before the preceding one a few years back), but that's ju...

Trump doesn't care about the UN. It's not like they'll do anything to him or the US anyway. Hell, world leaders who are obviously opposed to it are "calling for calm" rather than outright condemning it - the entire UN-aligned world is terrified of being blacklisted by him. As for Congress, well it's...

Netanyahu played him like a fiddle, even more expertly than Putin.

Indeed. Netanyahu probably showed him an image of a building with a photoshopped label saying "Nuclear Weapons Facility" on it.

I disagree. I also don't think it's reassuring that they repeated the best gag from the first trailer.

I think I'm a little more forgiving, but I'm equally surprised to hear quite how many there've been. I couldn't tell you the plots of half of these. Black Widow - Fine Shang Chi - Bad Eternals - Bad No Way Home - Good Multiverse of Madness - Fine Love and Thunder - Bad Wakanda Forever - Bad - Quantu...

I'm absolutely with you on Sam Wilson being a poor substitute for Steve Rogers. I know it's not unusual in superhero fiction, but passing along a superhero name to a successor doesn't really feel right to me. Captain America is a character, not a title. Sam Wilson does not have superhuman strength a...

I particularly hate the way there is now a settings app and a control panel and things are arbitrarily spit between the two. Have the settings app for light users by all means but have all that functionality be in the control panel as well! Yeah, I hate this, and it's been like it for years. I do a...

Oh of course it's a grift, the fun part is trying to work out what sort of grift it is ahead of time.
