Some fans have spoken out in defense of this game, saying that it's different every time you play. Kinda like how every time I TAKE A SHIT, it's always "different"!

Indeed, this 122 minute documentary only makes a few boilerplate points: U.S. military bases “encircle” China, Obama has spent more on nuclear weapons than any other president, and U.S. military officials tend to speak in a gung-ho fashion about war. Here, I agree with Pilger. The United States has built bases that surround China, the outgoing administration is spending more on nuclear weapons than predecessors, and military officials aren’t the most softly-spoken people in front of cameras. But that doesn’t mean the United States is containing China or encircling it or, worse, threatening it.

The first preview of Speed-The-Plow was a train wreck for some and LiLo, a master at doing lines, didn’t know a lot of her lines. Speed-The-Plow’s opening night happened last night and critics who reviewed the show say that LiLo only missed a couple of lines. It says a lot when LiLo, whose job is to memorize her goddamn lines, has to be fed lines on opening night and everyone goes, 'Aw, she only missed two lines. Gold star!'

, "Lindsay Lohan’s Speed-The-Plow Reviews Weren’t Awful"It’s fitting that GallifreyBase’s standard for 1/10 is 'I’d rather listen to a tape of leaf-blower noise,' as leaf-blower noise, turned to a low volume, would provide a white noise background almost as good for falling asleep as this story. But that means this story is better than the leaf-blower, so it must be a 2/10.
Having the Doctor leave sickbay is by far the best innovation of the third season (some would say it is the return of the Borg but all that shows to me is the desperation of the writers on this show) – he has been cooped up in one room for so long that storytelling possibilities for his character have been a tad desperate...I hope they aren’t straining their brain cells too much there. It really worries me that somebody being able to walk out of a room could be an innovation but that’s how drab this show has become in its third year.

That's a fine sentence, actually. It's accurate, economical, almost elegant. And to be perfectly fair, it is not the only fine sentence in this 468-page book. There are 11 others. Well, 10 1/2. But three of those are really quite good.

Pirates was finally released in 1986, 12 years after Polanski first started working on it. The film was almost universally hated, though it did manage to get an Academy Award nomination for Best Makeup, a distinction it shares with Bad Grandpa, Harry and the Hendersons, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and The Nutty Professor, which was justly nominated for Eddie Murphy's dazzling fat suit (his later effort Norbit went surprisingly unrecognized by the Academy, although I assume Murphy was wearing the exact same fat suit).

"In the end, McCarthy’s speech had no real audience. It had no real long-term goal in mind. It was devoid of substance. It was filled with boilerplate lines about socialism and immigrants. It tried and failed to match Trump’s energy. It broke a record not to drive home a point, but to own the libs — which, as the vote tally indicates, it did not. Otherwise, it was perfect."

Morbius truly has to be one of the films released in 2022 so far.
Jared Leto did a job playing Morbius and the action was in the film. The film has storytelling and the CGI was animated. The side characters were along with morbius and the villain was a bad guy. The jokes were sentences. This film really is one of the films of all time, if not the last decade.

Ironically the most major positives about this film are the things that are not in the film:
1) Han Solo was not ruined. Now, Chewbacca was ruined for being pointlessly shoehorned into this movie, but Chewbacca was no Han Solo.
2) No Millenium Falcon... Thankfully, nowhere in this film do we see the Millenium Falcon flyin' around doin' somethin' stupid with, like, it's original owner. No, the Millenium Falcon is safe and secure. It wasn't raped.
3) Almost no Jar-Jar Binks. After three films Lucas finally got it. We only see this loathesome cunt for a brief moment or two.
4) No kids. The first film obviously had a kid; a kid that made you want to sterilize the human race. It also had more kids that fucking talked, too. The second film had even more kids that talked! Finally, the only kid in this film that talks dies. Yah, all o' 'em die. These are positive changes.

So the first level's under the subway, at the River of Slime. And that's right. Wow. The game actually has levels with a simple goal to get to the end without dying. And that's what I'm fuckin' talking about! Ghostbusters should be nothing more complicated than just running around, zapping ghosts! So it's a huge, HUGE improvement over the first game! (Beat) But that's not saying much! It still sucks monkey fuck and pukes diarrhea up your fuckin' asshole!

I guess there might be somebody out there who might enjoy this game, somebody who happens to be very interested in Venezuelan buses. Yeah, if there is any game for the Venezuelan bus enthusiasts, this is it. Do you find any Venezuelan buses in Super Mario World? No. So you can't argue, this is the definitive Venezuelan bus game...You get these great photos of the buses and you get to look at the photos and drive the bus at the same time. You can even go backwards, you can honk the horn. What more could you want? When the digits are the same color as the background, that gives you an added challenge of trying to read the timer.

But that said, Sword Art Online actually handles this better than most of its copycats. Don't get me wrong, it still jumps straight to the endgame without really earning it, but Reki Kawahara did at least have the good sense to change the endgame being played at the end of each arc to keep things from getting too stale, even if they are still very predictable. It may be painfully obvious that Kirito's never gonna lose at anything, but, hey, at least never losing at gunfights is moderately different from never losing at swordfights!
