That place was for sure a highlight of my childhood. I saw many movies at that dome theater and always geeked out when they do the POV run inside the jet cockpit.

I saw the original in my 20s and I knew the basic premise already so I figured a dog with rabies is not that terrifying. Turns out a loose and rabid St. Bernard is proper nightmare fuel.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first play through of this game. I got it free from the PS+ monthly game drop, did not know anything about it nor did I play the original, just went in blind. The combat in this game is straight from resident evil 4. The behind the shoulder camera, the limited inventory space, the sparse ammo drops forcing you to be creative with your kills. It’s just set in space and it works great.
The game is creepy as hell. The sound design is immaculate and the music is so creepy I love/hate it. The zero gravity sections in the game were so well done I was genuinely impressed. It took me about 16 hours to beat the game on hard difficulty and I nearly obtained all items except one I think.
I highly recommend this game for any horror game enthusiast. Seems like a true classic in the genre.

Comment on Keanu Reeves set for ‘John Wick 5’ as franchise expands with animated prequel film, Donnie Yen-directed Caine spinoff in ~movies

They can only amp up the action so much with a 50+ yr old man. We’ve seen them do it with Liam Neeson and it’s not great. Lots of jumpy cuts and out of focus action shots to hide how old he is.

I’m not saying it’s perfect but they did continue the Netflix vibe and have added to it. I still believe Kevin Feige can make things work out and bring us new and interesting stories.

Not many people even knew he had substance abuse issues. I think the estate wants to keep his image as clean as possible.

Comment on Dallas Mavericks trade Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis in ~sports.basketball

He is a practice cone on defense but his ability to create offense is worth the trade off. I think either he did something so egregious that they were over it or the new owners do have different plans for the franchise and the window for them to win a Dallas championship is closing. I am a long time fan of the mavericks and I can say at times I was frustrated as a fan with Luka’s attitude and demeanor. He would bitch at the refs a lot and would essentially just give up on defense, it was hard to watch at times.

That’s why they cut queer scenes when they send movies to China, Middle East, etc. they also minimize the presence of black people when marketing to China and whoever else they think will not like it. They are about making money at all costs. There is no integrity with these corporations.

My life now is 1000% better than many of my ancestors lives and I just cannot throw all of their sacrifice and death away because I feel a certain type of way.

Comment on Thoughts on Donald Trump, America and what this all means in ~society

America itself was born out of not wanting to be under monarchy rule but we just can’t help but drift back in that direction in one way or another. People need to have a “king” or something equivalent, it’s baked into the dna at this point.
Also anyone who has not read George Washington’s farewell speech should take a gander. He correctly predicted 200+ years in advance that a 2 party system would lead to an authoritarian rising up and taking power for themselves and never giving it back. We are 95% the way there.

Comment on No one’s laughing now: ‘Joker Folie à Deux’ falls down with $39m-$40m opening: How the sequel went sideways in ~movies

This...When subverting expectations goes wrong. The director himself has said he has no interest in the DC universe and only took on DC intellectual property to bring more eyeballs to his movie. This feels similar to the 4th matrix which the wachowskis implied in the film itself the studio wanted another matrix and was going to do it with or without them so they said “oh yeh here’s your movie chumps”.
This is the power of Nintendo IP. They know what they’re doing. Even if it’s whack.
