Zaph commented on staceywi's article R.I.P. Dick Clark.
R.I.P Screened.You were a website about film and TV. On the Internet.

@csl316 said:"Try smiling with your lips closed."Favorite scene this week was easily Tyrion and Cersei, but I am worried that the scope of the books will exceed the capabilities of the TV show. Hell, I had a chat open with my buddy because he could explain the backstory more than the show ever could. We get a line or two of something, and we're supposed to remember it 5 episodes ...

Even as a massive fan of the books, this episode did seem surprisingly graphic - especially as they added a couple of sex scenes that weren't even in A Clash of Kings.That said, the wiping of the prostitute's face did seem like one of HBO's patented, extremely graphic, 'I-can't-believe-they-just-did-that' moments which they love throwing in if for no other reason than it gets people talking (two particular scenes that come ...

Zaph commented on BermanBraun's article Hello from BermanBraun.
No disrespect meant to BermanBraun, but I never visited Screened for the site itself, I came here for the personalities that drove it.If they find some passionate people to run the site, cool, I'll probably visit. But if it's just faceless blog spam, no thanks.

All the best Matt.Not sure if you have any interest in going back to games journalism, but would love to see you working at Giant Bomb one day - you'd definitely reinvigorate the continuing Quick Look stagnation.But wherever you end up, they'll be luck to have you.

Zaph commented on Rorie's article Trailer: Free Samples.
Ugh, has that trying-so-hard-to-be-cool-and-carefree-it's-obnoxious vibe. No thanks.

All this trailer does is remind me how rarely Paul Verhoeven makes movies anymore :(

Oh shit, looks like body horror Chronenberg is back, I had no idea. Might have to watch eXistenZ and Videodrome again in his honor.Also, the trailer really reminded me of Enter the Void's title sequence (gem of a movie if you're after something different).

Zaph commented on Rorie's video Trailer 3: John Carter.
Still looks terribly generic and lifeless. Are you sure it's from the director of Wall.E?Also, regardless of the reported $250m budget, using that much motion blur to mask your CG makes it look cheap as hell.

Hang on a sec. Did a film crew just watch on as kids were really bullied? Or were the scenes in the trailer 'dramatic reconstructions'?

Zaph commented on JoeyF's video March Preview!.
John Carter is from the same director as Wall.E? And McNulty is in it?Seriously, which marketing firm completely shit the bed with that film? Up until now I thought the entire film was CG from the cutting room floor of the Star Wars prequels, but also starring Jesus.

(...)but considering the dude makes pretty much all of his movies for like eight dollars and a couple of "Hallalujers"...That is way funnier than it has any right to be.

Zaph commented on Rorie's video Red Band Trailer: Wanderlust.
Not gonna lie, that one scene in The Heartbreak Kid pretty much ruined Malin Akerman for me.

More liberal brainwashing. Won't somebody think of the children!?

Zaph replied to the topic SOA Season4 Spoilers/Discussion Thread on the Sons of Anarchy board.
Really, really disappointing season finale, easily the worst one so far. Totally called the Clay cop-out last week too.I think the writers felt they had pushed the status quo too far this season and needed a big old 'Reset' button. Enter stage left: deus ex machina the CIA.Storylines were tied up so neatly they felt very contrived (especially the DA torpedoing the Charming Heights deal and Juice's convenient DEA raid ...

I don't understand how Fox News is a product of the same nation that put a man on the moon.Americans, you guys really baffle me.

Massive Son's of Anarchy spoilers from the last episode:SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.Clay getting shot last episode has really ruined the upcoming finale for me. I was hoping to see him killed off this season, but the non-fatal way Opie shot him (stomach and shoulder), really feels like an obvious cop-out so that the writers didn't have to kill off their biggest star.

@Lautaro said:As you said not a review, comparing two people taking issue with repetitive articles with fanboys complaining about a game getting a 7 on a website seem ludicrous to me. To each their own I suppose. As the person that I quoted stated, I don't even disagree with Rorie.Also I don't have an issue with him writing negative things about products, I would just prefer one story (i.e. an ...

Also, just to throw in my own thoughts on the show so far...I've always felt (having not read the comics) The Walking Dead uses zombies almost solely as a framing device in order to tell the story of these characters that have to inhabit a hellish world. In that sense, it reminds me a lot of Game of Thrones, if just you replace the zombies with dark fantasy and war.However, ...

@Clonedzero said:why does rorie continue to do weekly recaps for a show he obviously doesn't like anymore? its like a weekly blog bitch session that the show isn't going in the direction he wants it. waste of an article space honestly.i'd be much more interested in reading an article about something he actually enjoys than reading yet another write-up of him complaining they're still on the farm or that the ...

I don't actually use Origin and don't really intend to if I don't have to, but man. Even the verification email process is broken. What.

People can be dicks on their birthday, so if you're surrounded by dicks, maybe it's everyone's birthday! (Or just yours).
