I didn't need to see Wrestlemania. I need to see this RAW.

That's amazing.

The trailers make this look like a shit sandwich. Coated in shit. With a shit sundae.

Well. That was quick.

I saw this last night. Thought I was going to like it during the first half hour or so, but as it went on it got harder and harder to sit through. It's definitely pretty, but there's not much else going for it. The script is awful. They just drill the message home with a sledgehammer and make sure to remove any trace of subtlety. It felt like everyone started off with some kind of personality, but by the end they just kind of there. And I really wish they weren't doing this as a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, because it forced them to try and tie up loose ends, which made for a bunch of scenes that just felt completely unnatural and grafted on. It just feels like they could have rebooted the whole thing with their own twist on things and did something interesting with it, but instead they were beholden to the original movie.

I'm curious as to why you didn't provide any context for it, since it's pretty fascinating. The captions were taken entirely from a series of peanuts strips.

Starring Henry Rollins.

Finally we can get a TMNT movie with a slow motion shot of Megan Fox washing the Turtle Van. It's the one thing all other TMNT media has been missing.

Oh wow. 1up is bought back by the company that created them a decade ago, only to get shut down straight away. That's amazing. I feel bad for everyone that's going to be out of a job because of this, and yet I'm not really that surprised.

It matters less and less the further you go into the console cycle, but I’d be lying if I said it didn’t annoy me. I never bothered to get a PS3. It just wasn’t different enough from the 360 for me. But if the PS4 had decent backwards compatibility, it would be significantly more enticing, since it would give me a chance to go back and play the games I wanted to play from the PS3’s library. But eh, what can I do?

I really, really doubt Swagger is going to come out unharmed by this. He's put a whole lot of unwanted attention on himself. And I doubt Dutch is okay with any of this, since his own granddaughter died in a car crash with a guy that was speeding while under the influence of drugs. Swagger is a fucking idiot.

That's pretty cool.

Maybe.

It's something that's disappeared over time, but there's plenty of darkness in Ghibli's films, especially the first handful. I take it that you've never seen Grave of the Fireflies? It's definitely an outlier in just how bleak it is, but I know quite a few people consider it one of the most depressing movies they’ve seen. Princess Mononoke is another one where everyone’s lives just seem to get worse and worse.

Iron Giant for favourite. I also voted it for best, but now I'm kind of leaning towards The Incredibles for having some really inventive and fun action scenes, and just being super fun to watch. I quite like Ratiatouille too. MI:4 on the other hand was just okay. Fun action scenes, but I couldn't bring myself to care about anything that happened in that movie.

Well... Was it?

Yeah, the WWE has taken in a lot of indie talent these past few years. Claudio Castagnoli, Sarah Del Ray, Jon Moxley, Tyler Black and El Generico have all made their way into the WWE.

He seems pretty happy.

Y'know, I really thought I was going to love Fargo. I liked it, but I kind of wish I didn't come into it with such huge expectations.

Y'know; if I never see someone "fix" someone else's post again, it will be too soon.

Fine. Mediocre superhero movie. Geeze.

None of those are a sequel to a mediocre action movie.

What I really like about DMC is that they keep the backtracking and tedious puzzle solving down to a minimum. That's probably been probably been my biggest issue with the series. In this one they're always pressing you forward, and they do a great job of mixing things up to keep you on your toes.

Chris Ware's Building Stories is a thing of fucking beauty. Easily one of the best comics (if you can even call it that) I've ever read.

That's awesome. I love Kyle Baker, although I really don't like the traced 3d model thing that he uses for his more recent work.
