Aliens

Only if it’s a Happy Gilmore production. If he’s acting in someone else’s movie, he can be a great actor.

I’d say any bad exposition, no matter how short. I was marginally interested in watching Shang-Chi after watching Wonder Man since I heard Trevor was in it too.

Right after the intro sequence, they jump to the present to introduce him and his friend and she immediately says something like “we’ve been friends for 10 years” and it was just so forced that I turned it off.

Not only that, but the unification joined peoples speaking something like 50 different “dialects” of Italian. I’m not a linguist but the way I understand it, they evolved separately from Latin into a bunch of relatively similar languages. Something like 2% of the country spoke Italian Italian when the kingdom was unified.

My grandparents were from opposite ends of Italy and argued over which was the correct dialect their whole lives.

Grawlix is one of my favorite #*&$ing words

I hadn’t thought of this for probably 40 years and those neurons just woke up to remember the lyrics.

It sounded interesting so I gave it a look and realized that I’ve been using it for years now and it’s just so unobtrusive that I forgot about it.

Horror movies rarely scare me but the end of REC was pretty rough. I had friends over to watch, they left afterwards, my roommate wasn’t home, and about 5 minutes later the power went out in the neighborhood.

I forget who said it, but I saw a review that called it the worst game they enjoyed. It’s hyperbolic but I agree on some level. Like I feel like I should have lost interest 10 times by now, but it keeps pulling me back in with new crazy things to find, new systems keep popping up and I’m like 60 hours in.

The story is absolute garbage, like I feel like there had to be an actual once at some point but it got butchered or edited to pieces. There are breadcrumbs all over that feel like there has to be more to the story but every time there’s some big emotional scene I feel like I’m missing some crucial pieces of information.

Tying inventory space to the shitty fetch quests was a stroke of genius though. I’m still doing every one I find so I can hoard more. You need me to ask someone across the country if they liked the stuff you sold them and you’ll give me 3 more inventory slots? Sold.

More bleak than the Chain of Dogs, the Children of the Dead Seed, Beak’s candles, The Snake?!

I have had Bakker on my radar but I have to be in the right mood for fantasy.

I feel like this might be a terrible suggestion to start with. It has ruined fantasy for me. Nothing else I’ve found has come close, the worlds feel half baked, the stories mediocre, the characters forgettable, the scale a fraction of Malazan’s.

Erickson can get me more attached to a throwaway character that is introduced and killed off in a handful of pages than some authors can to their main character.
