Recommendations: The Boys

I've always been on the verge of recommending The Boys, but not only did I feel there were better shows, The Boys for all its enjoyment was a little too obnoxious in areas for me to be 100% board with.

The irony is, Season 3 is the loudest, most overt, and on the nose season yet, in its vio...

I heard this movie described eons ago as the best video game movie ever made, and it's kinda true. Doesn't matter that the video-game never existed, not until the film's release as a tie-in, Scott Pilgrim's energy, pacing, and abstract nature, is very gamey.

If you were to go out on a date with any video game character, who would it be?

As much as I like badasses such as Pharah, IQ, or Jill, a talkative techy like Tali's probably a safer bet... plus she's also a badass.
