I want a movie about his years in the early 1990s where he's a lecherous old man in a rest home with one eye who bores his grandkids with stories about his weirdly educational childhood with historical figures instead of his rad nazi-killing years. Why would a 12-year-old care about the time you met Pancho Villa? At least tell him how you got your chin scar, and whip, and hat all in the same afternoon.

Old Indy would be a lot more palatable if it didn't make everyone immediately assume Mutt would be a part of it.

I liked the X-Files FMV game where you played some random schmo that is looking for Mulder and Scully after they go missing.

IF you chose the paranoid dialogue options often enough you'd sometimes see things that weren't there.

I remember that game heavily promoting that Mulder, Scully and the Smoking Man were all prominent characters, and then I think Mulder shows up in one scene at the end, Scully has like five scenes and the Smoking Man only shows up for a brief second if you get blown up in a cabin or something along those lines.

My favorite weird-as-poo poo mid-90s game is Bad Day on the Midway, which was scored and at least partially designed by The Residents and somehow got optioned by Ron Howard for a series that David Lynch was supposed to direct, but a script never came together and the project just fell apart.

The trailer is like a fever dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRlYFI4hhfs

Due to my immense self loathing I checked the comments on the Manning article on one of the local news sites here in Oklahoma City and the first comment I saw was about how once Trump gets in office Hillary is gonna hang, so at least it's not transphobic I guess

For some reason I thought that video and the huge cable leak where by different whistleblowers, and couldn't remember which was her

My favourite part of those cables was that dozens of dudes around the world who had to meet with Tony Abbott and had access to the cable network sent one to the effect of "Tony Abbott is a big piece of poo poo"

Not everyone needs a poster to be a representation of the period, mood, and tone or even story of the movie. Some people just want to put a pic of a xenomorph on their wall.

Those people are losers who like awful poo poo.

Nah it was the Americans iirc, (they really wanted that oscar). The only parallel I can see is the nazi atrocities, only C&P's resulted in a beej, whereas Roberto's resulted in getting gunned down in earshot of his son.

I dug La La Land though I can see where it might lose some people. It acknowledges the threat of failure but seems to present the idea that if you work hard and are persistent then you'll be successful anyway.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
It would be a contender if the comparison actually worked, which I don't think it does at all.
