  1. For me it was the case of a movie being completely silly, but also knowing EXACTLY that it's silly, and not taking itself seriously at any point a proper fun action B movie, kind of reminded me of all the silly action B movies from the 80s & 90s. I think it's my "guilty" pleasure, only I don't feel guilty about it lol.
  2. I enjoyed The Beekeeper! Completely over the top, unbelievable, formulaic, but also entertaining and fun enough...
  3. Welcome to the forums!
  4. I am going to watch this one at the movie theater next week! The trailer looked fun
  5. This looks really good!!!
  6. Micro Machines is great, and so is Micro Maniacs. I got really into the old Gamecube, PS1, and PS2 games recently, and it's so much fun.
  7. No idea, but surely a Red Bull seat could be tempting, even if that's the case?
  8. A cynic in me can't help but think that this rumour is released on purpose in order to distract and divert attention from the whole Andretti thing.
  9. This was my reply in 2021. Update 2024: Lost Dark For All Mankind Andor Reservation Dogs Honorable mentions: The Expanse, Westworld, Timeless
  10. Hope you're feeling better now, John.
  11. I think you're completely ignoring the context here, though. Her answer is to the host's (a man's) question about whether her work, while aiming to empower women, also targets men. To which she replies that yes, she likes to make men uncomfortable, because any significant, long lasting social change can only happen through difficult conversations and uncomfortable realizations. Her goal is not to make men uncomfortable in general because she wants them to be miserable lol, it's to make them see that maybe they themselves have those certain internalized attitudes that are the root of the problem. Which is pretty obvious when you think about the issues that she tackles in her work - women and child abuse, domestic violence, acid attacks and honour killings of women in Pakistan, rights of refugees and marginalized groups, Pakistani boys groomed in Taliban-run schools to carry out attacks against civilians, etc.
  12. Well considering that just her appointment as a director of a Star Wars movie is apparently already making many men uncomfortable, I find this pretty hilarious lol. In all seriousness though, I don't really see a problem with that statement, given the context. As a journalist and filmmaker focusing heavily on women's issues, making some men uncomfortable is always gonna be on her mind. Art is often political, it provokes, challenges the status quo, and ignites conversations. That website is pure AIDS though. "During an appearance at the Women in the World summit alongside fellow insufferable activist and director Ava DuVernay and actress Meryl Streep..." yeah, quality journalism there.
  13. Lol I like how they describe her as just a "Pakistani feminist activist" in that tweet, it's so fucking reductive. She won multiple Oscars and Emmys for directing documentaries, her work in animation has also won awards and was critically acclaimed, and she also directed live action TV show in the Marvel universe. My opinion is that I will give everyone a fair chance and reserve my judgement until after the movie is released, everything else makes no sense whatsoever.
  14. Some via Steam, some via Epic Games... Steam didn't allow me to change my region so I'm a bit annoyed with them, but it led me to using Epic Games more and I found out games I wanted were selling cheaper on there in the first place lol
  15. I got several games during the Christmas sale, too. TheHunter: Call of the Wild, Alba: A Wildlife Adventure (thanks @Tommy), The Expanse: A Telltale Series, Disco Elysium, Assassin's Creed I: Director's Cut, and also installed Palia, a new free MMO game...
  16. How did you like the Budvar, @CaaC (John)?
  17. It's a very nice one! A tasty Czech lager, nothing like its American competitor...
  18. It was... Probably means we'll have some fun with the answers
  19. Oh look, you're not the last one this time
  20. Sent! Sorry for the delay, completely forgot about it...
