He has bad takes on movies and actors now and then, but I think that part of creating great art is having a very strong and idiosyncratic idea of what is good and bad, and he has the misfortune of sharing those ideas publicly while on cocaine.

He's also into feet, but I didn't notice it until it was pointed out to me. I don't know why this particular kink is a safe target, it seems harmless.

He does use the N-word a lot in his movies, but it's pretty clearly because he thinks Black people are very, very cool. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know what to make of that, but it's more embarrassing than hateful.

Like for one thing, he does seem to be especially, unusually On Cocaine. That comes up occasionally but should come up more.

"Surely we will all realize that this useless thing is actually useful once the hype dies down."

I think that the need for usable camera movement and the limitations imposed on animation by the need for responsive controls set a hard cap on how real games can look, and at this point those obviously artificial elements are far more visible than any incremental improvement to lighting or textures

Some kinds of music are meant to have good lyrics and are enhanced by good lyrics (folk, blues, hip-hop) but most kinds of pop music become bad if the lyrics are good enough that you feel like you should pay attention to them.

He's all like, "You can't demonize every Somali refugee simply based on the rampaging Somali gangs in Murderapolis. Some of them live in the suburbs and are fine."

I'm trying to think up two actors who would star in Face/Off if it were made today, and I think one of them is still inevitably Nicholas Cage. Not sure who the other one would be. Don't know who has a strong enough shtick. Keanu Reeves possibly. Maybe Daniel Craig doing the Benoit Blanc voice.

This damn show always wants to drag a puzzle box out of every rote plot development. I'll bet every season could be edited down to a <120 minute movie and be better.

Felt like the Max monologue went on for half an hour just to explain something that would take two sentences in any other genre franchise.

One of my favorite ways to set myself apart as an intellectual as a teen was to be horny for more subtle depictions of women than the other guys I knew. This did not win me any respect from anyone at all.

I recall choosing reasonably proportioned babes like Seoung Mina and Cassandra (who were probably supposed to be teenagers) and feeling like fancy tuxedo Winnie the Pooh compared to my unsophisticated peers. Actually got mad when they made the boobs bigger across the board for Soulcalibur III.
