Discussion - what is the last movie you couldn't finish?
  • Sure. But that's enough.

    Demanding more than that isn't conducive to anytime but trying to make people feel inadequate​ for wanting to enjoy their time.

    It's completely fine if you feel like you need to see the end of a story to determine if it was good, but not everybody is like that.

  • Incomplete doesn't mean invalid, though. I can say I didn't enjoy the first half so much that I didn't give the second half a chance. I will have enough information to explain why I didn't enjoy the first half and my opinion of the movie is completely valid.

    I don't have to continue to subject myself to something I don't enjoy. I can explain what I don't enjoy. People don't need more than that to have a valid opinion of something. The only people I'd expect to have done more is somebody professionally critiquing movies.

  • Besides, if you haven't finished a movie, you can't claim to have a valid opinion of it.

    I'm sure you didn't mean it to sound this way, but this kind of gate keeping sounds very elitist. I can have a valid opinion of a movie I didn't finish.

    Usually, me not finishing it means that through the portion I watched I was disliking it so much I decided finishing it was a waste of my time. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. I don't need to see the ending to know i didn't enjoy the journey. The onus is on the creators of the movie to ensure I enjoy or am at least engaged throughout and I don't, nor does anybody else, owe it to them to see though the time I've set aside to watch it. Especially if they could be bothered to hold up their side of the bargain.

  • This is the last one for me as well. Though, my partner and I didn't even finish the first episode of Dune: Prophecy if you want to count that.

    Dakota Johnson isn't what ruined Madame Web for me, though. The writing was truly awful from the plot to the dialogue. The costumes were really bad as well and the action was just terrible. It looked like poorly done wire tricks on CGI.

  • What happened to gaming?
  • I didn't actually know about Dave the Driver being a big publisher until just now. I felt that game was kinda under-developed for how hyper it was and now I'm even more disappointed.

    It only has like 6 major areas and the levels didn't have that much variety. Plus the side content is fairly under polished. I enjoyed it for the first 60ish percent but was kinda forcing myself to finish it by the end.

  • Visiting America
  • In Austin, there was a short period of time where all grocery stores were legally required to ditch plastic bags.

    A successful campaign strategy for city council right after that was to run against the plastic bag ban because people kept forgetting their reusable bags. Everybody agreed they are bad but individualism and a sense of laziness prevailed. This is America.

  • There is only 1 choice
  • As much as I would love for Robin Williams to be back and brightening the world again it would be incredibly selfish of us to forget that he was incredibly unhappy in life and killed himself in a very unpleasant way because of it.

    So definitely the centipede.

  • What is a game or games that you think are an absolute must-buy?
  • I always hear stuff like this but in hundreds of hours of play on both PlayStation 5 and PC. I've never experienced any serious bugs. It's so interesting to me that experiences can vary so much between people.

    FFXVI - Am I crazy?

    I've been playing Final Fantasy 16 for the last couple of weeks and feel really let down by the hype and reviews of this game.

    While I enjoy the deviation of the combat the rest of the game feels very incomplete. The vocal animations are frequently off. The travel from area to area is just an overworld map to select travel from one small area to another. There are like 2 or 3 side quests at a time and a whole vendor that will send you to side quests in different areas, but his menu is always empty.

    In general, the graphics are roughly the same as FFXIV. The animations and music seem ripped right out of 14 as well. And the combat and akin to the main series Kingdom Hearts games.

    Overall I'm enjoying it, but these 7-9 out of 10 reviews that are calling it some massive achievement seem really undeserved.
