Looking forward to:

Game:
Last of Us II - coming out in 7 days. First "game" (it's so much more than a game), was stunning and disturbing in equal parts. It blew away expectations of what a game experience can be.

Upcoming Film:
Tenet, from the brilliant Christopher Nolan (did Inception and others). Big fan, even of his films that are just ok by his standards. SPOILER ALERT: this is a pet peeve type trailer where they practically show you the whole movie - I quit it pretty quickly, but it doesn't take much to be interested in seeing it.

A film I recently saw:
The Vast of Night Quirky, sometimes engaging sometimes *yawn*, always cool for a low budget film, never really great, still worth watching if you like the genre (you are on this site, right?). Listen with headphones if you can - dialogue can be hard to hear at times. I believe the main male actor was channelling Brad Pitt - impressive performances from the unknown cast. Sound track gets an A-.

The Last of Us 2 is going to be more disproportionate Audience to Critics scores than any Hollywood movie in the last 3 years on RT before the shutdown and expose to the normies just how bought and paid for the video game critics that aren't completely agenda driven are.

The Left has gone full retard and started handing out red pills.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

It would be nice to have a regular conversation without Derpy around, blathering about all the nothing he knows.

Anyway, The Last Of Us was the last game hubby actually played. He doesn't bother with the time sink now, he just watches the play throughs on youtube.

But when he played it I made him call me over for all the story scenes so I could watch too. I'm sure we'll watch the new play through together, eventually.

It was a pretty cool game.

Wanted to tell you I watched a Sci-Fi movie on Hulu the other day called Aniara.

It was a transport ship bound for Mars that had to jettison its engines but because they were at full speed they just kept going...

I was kind of haunted by it for a few days. The ship used algae for oxygen, and when the food ran out they started processing it for food. As in, that's all they lived on... Eventually half the crew and passengers committed suicide, and the whole time they were telling people that they were going to find a planet and do a gravity slingshot and head back...

The movie ends with the ship passing a planet...24,000 years later, as a ghost ship. There are some other interesting odd bits about an A.I. that commits suicide, and how most of the people that survived went blind anyway. It's a fascinating downward spiral.

Had some analogies for me about this planet and where it's going and what the point is...I mean, even if we could travel at "light speed" we can't ever get to more than 3% of the observable universe anyway. In that we are stuck here.
We may have better food, but we still have blithering idiots around and even if things got better and we fixed mental illness...we're still stuck here.

Things like that always make me wonder if there were gods or higher beings and they too got bored of the cycle and offed themselves. Then I think of that episode of Voyager...

Even if 6ix could be fixed, who could spend a billion years around THAT??

We'll see who's right or wrong this weekend.

Every critic and their mother voted LOU2 a perfect 100 and the best game of all time. Only lemmings believe that claim, particularly when the gaming critics have shown themselves to be mere advertisers for production companies when they weren't blatantly throwing around their agendas.

They got to scratch both itches with this game.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I came real close to NOT buying this game. I watched LoU 1 on YouTube AND played it - both were great. I'm not a *gamer* so I just don't have those fast twitch gamer responses like people who go 12 hours at a time. IOW I die a lot, and that can be really frustrating and controllers aren't cheap.

I watched Frankieonpc do Last Of Us on Youtube

Older, English dude, so no wacky young teen or painfully immature comments - definitely a more adult review of the story and the play. I hope he does this one too.

Almost forgot about The Fireflies - funny.

You know, that would be a perfect stencil for the back of Baby Girls truck.

Been trying to come up with something cool and obscure to do. I always like to do something like that to all our cars. With Big Man Hubby driving it lets police know who it is and he gets pulled over less.

Glad you said something.

That's a pretty thumbnail.

Too bad Joel gets brutally murdered by a tranny hero and Ellie gets her fingers ripped off by said tranny and the game ends with her crying after she tries to play guitar without fingers.

True story.

10/10. PERFECT GAME!!!!

I skipped thru the intro and it looks like every other bad zombie apocalypse movie I've ever seen.

Not interested.
