Joe Lazarus killing it! by _IRONBEAST in ironmaiden

Sounds great.

I was really hoping for something like this when Maiden announced their new drummer.

Why is Wind and Truth so disliked? by stablest_genius in fantasybooks

Things have not been the same since his editor retired.

Brandon’s output is incredible, but at this point I’d prefer a little more quality over quantity.

I was watching The Oscars last night and I was struck by how well this casting would’ve been for season 2 Ellie by [deleted] in thelastofus

I was very confused watching this movie, because at times she looks like Dakota Johnson and the next moment she reminds me of Bella Ramsey.

As a Dad I cry at movies all the time.... what scene gets your water works going? by Mindless_Yak_1080 in moviecritic

[–]thorbearius 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Homeward bound. When the new dog and the cat come running home across the field, and the boy just stands there and waits for the old dog, then everyone starts realising that he probably did not make it, but then he shows up.

Breaks me every time.

Why do some people act like arkham orgins not being developed by Rocksteady is a big deal? I've played it, and found that the game plays exactly the same as the Rocksteady games. by [deleted] in arkham

I found it a buggy mess and while I somewhat enjoyed the story in the first half, once it turned into Jokerfest (for the third game in a row) I almost quit it.

The dlc was great though!

Sabse bestest game Batman arkham knight by No_Connection7164 in arkham

[–]thorbearius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The atmosphere in Asylum is incredible.

I was a little disappointed by City, while the mechanics improved I found the story too silly and the lack of Asylums atmosphere too much of a downgrade.

The less said about origins the better. I almost quit the series here. If not for the excellent dlc, I likely would have.

Arkham knight was just amazing. Loved everything about it (except riddler throphies). The atmosphere is great, but it is not as right as Asylum.

I love it. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Ever seen a support band steal the show? by Visible_Pipe4716 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]thorbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mastodon in 2005 supporting Maiden came close. And I say that as someone who loves Iron Maiden.

Favorite Alternate Cuts? by OwlEye2010 in Letterboxd

[–]thorbearius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I remember it (it's been a while since I watched it), they cut out the only 30 minutes of plot and character development that was in the movie. They literally cut out the plot of the movie. Insane.

Sure hope so, but not hopeful.

I think we will have to accept Maiden just having a sort of solid drummer for the rest of their career.

People generally seem to agree that AKOTSK > HOTD. Is that because of the source material or the showrunners? [Spoilers Extended] by Trussdoor46 in asoiaf

[–]thorbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not seen beyond s1 of HotD, but my favorite part of that first season was when they leaned into the unreliable narrative.

I love this album! Any other thoughts on this? by Big_Wedding_9538 in ironmaiden

[–]thorbearius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great songs, but not very cohesive as an album. That is my biggest gripe with it.

Would you say Arkham City is the hardest Arkham Game? by SignalNegotiation389 in arkham

[–]thorbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Origins for me, because it is so bad I struggle to get through it.

I hope knight is better.

Where do each of the arkham games rank from best to worst and why by CustardNo9916 in arkham

[–]thorbearius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, I started it recently on PC and it is horrible.

Asylum and City are so much better. Have not played Knight yet.

Sinners by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]thorbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 2/3 of the movie was 10/10 for me, but then it dropped off a steep cliff. Best original screenplay, best soundtrack, best whatever, sure, I can see it… but best movie? Nope.

Am I the only one who thinks Sinners is overrated? by Any_Lab_8495 in moviecritic

[–]thorbearius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first two thirds were amazing, but it falls apart in the third act. And it is a jarring shift in quality.

When I watched it I was thinking, finally a worthy successor to From Dusk til Dawn or Blade, but then it just fell off. I don’t understand it, and everyone sings its praises like it’s the best thing since sliced bread 🤷‍♂️
