The main takeaway seems to be "keep Tanabe away from Prime".

You forgot the best part; the fact that every single line delivery by Lance Henrikson in Hard Target is worthy of an Oscar.

Yes, Exactly!
There's only a handful of those player/human/infected encounters and even then, none of them push the concept as far or are as fun as the final encounter of Left Behind. Made worse by how long Part 2 is.
Fuck the bad story, that should be the real controversy.

Eh, they're about even. Though I will say that Uncharted 3 is better than 2 and Left Behind is better than TLOU1 or TLOU2.

OK, this is gonna sound weird but I feel like Uncharted 2 doesn't get talked about nearly enough as much as it used to. It was THE AAA template for years (hell people were excited for Star Wars 1313 cause it was a clone) but now it kinda lives in the shadow of TLOU.

One might say the best journalism film ever made (though it depends on whether we consider Zodiac to be one as well).

Black Book (2006)
Verhoeven's first post-Hollywood film is also his most indebted to Classical Hollywood, though with all its romanticism filtered out through his usual crass and vulgarity. The result is as good of a hyper-violent WW2 revenge genre film as you can imagine (Eat shit Quentin).

The thing I'll never understand is that why are BOAN and Intolerance, lumbering snoozefests that they are, always used to champion Griffith when his early shorts and smaller features like True Heart Susie (his best film) are right there for the taking.

Listen, games as an artforum need Horizon to continue. How else can we guarantee the simultaneous release of a much better game to overshadow it?

We got to have a honest discussion of whether HK and SS would be held in such high stature if they didn't proudly wear their "massive bang for your buck" badge. Like yeah they're good games, but they're almost assuredly better products.

I mean no because Bluey is already the runner up. Mad Max is almost assuredly number one. You wouldn't have Fist of the North Star without it.

I mean of course it's obnoxious because;
A) It's a Radu Jude film.
B) It's a Radu Jude film made using AI.
The guy is trying his hardest to be earn his reputation as Godard's heir and by God, he's succeeding.
