Watch all of Dragonball. Watch Z until you get bored. Skip everything else.

B-but this one is so goooooood and full of joy. Although I think I was the only person laughing in the entire theater, which was weird.

I think the Major's outfit in Stand Alone Complex is easily the worst part of an otherwise fantastic show. But at least they never made up a bullshit excuse for it. I don't think anyone is disputing that. In fact I'd say it's pretty rare to find a work that could be defined as sexist in its...

Thanks for the replies guys. The fact that you're told from the beginning that this character ultimately ends up as a broken old man might be enough for me to tolerate his general dickery throughout the story. I'll give the first book like a hundred pages or so and see if I'm still interested.

Fixed that for you. The premise for this sounds pretty intriguing. Can anyone here recommend these books? I love ASOIAF and haven't been able to find a series that really lives up to it. Like I tried Wheel of Time but it's just so arduously slow and I don't care about any of the characters...

Has anyone ever saved your life? Like is there someone that, without them, you almost certainly would have died? There might be somebody that fits that criteria for you specifically, but there's only one man living who can claim to have been that person for everyone reading this--for literally...

Pfffffffft. I can top that: But yeah minions are terrible, etc.

Haven't made any threads but it's definitely annoying to see it happen. There's a thread going here right now where a guy is asking for mature non-comedy cartoons that aren't anime, and yet half the responses are just blindly recommending him different animes. EDIT: Also, Well done man...

Yeah, what your asking for doesn't seem to exist. The closest you'll get are kid shows with mature themes subtly woven into the plot (i.e. Adventure Time, Wakfu, Batman: TAS, etc.) or Avatar and Korra (which seem to be in their own weird teen-focused category as I honestly can't think of any...

One thing that always drove me nuts about sieges in Warband was when you had to continue the fight in the streets and castle keep. It didn't matter if you brought 700+ troops with you at the start, you were always stuck leading like 2 or 3 shitty units against 8 enemy knights. At the very least...

Personally, I think a prequel/interquel would be pretty pointless. No matter what happens you know it's all leading up to the same bs color-coded ending. And there's no way a direct sequel could work without massively retconning said ending. Starting fresh is certainly a risk, but putting as...

The point I'm trying to make is that when a film all but tells you "This character is a complete asshole and you probably shouldn't trust anything he says," then the film is not responsible for anyone who takes that character's advice at face value--it's the viewer's fault for not paying...

For the record, Fletcher (J. K. Simmons) is the villain in Whiplash, and the audience isn't meant to agree with him on this. If you listen to the commentary or read any of the interviews by the director, he goes into extreme detail about how almost every aspect of the film was meticulously...

Honestly I feel like Hollywood has trained people to like crap movies; everybody wants their plots delivered exclusively via exposition dump. That the utterly brilliant and subtle visual storytelling demonstrated in this film can fly right over these guys' heads is just a tragedy. Also lol at...

I mean, it sounds like you just hate things that are wonderful. I think this movie might be too good for you.
