| 10040 | Uh... Why??? | this may not be so much as a gripe as it is to others but, for those who haven't been following wii sports club on the wii u, it's pretty much the original wii sports with some bells and whistles. recently nintendo released baseball and boxing, but with boxing there's a catch now. you can have the option to play a match using only one fist, which is okay, but when choosing to use two gloves, you have to use two wii remotes, when in the original version you used a wii remote and nunchuk. and that's not even the tip of the iceberg, the game requires the wii remote plus for both remotes. seriously, if the wii u is backwards compatible with old wii games then why not still use the nunchuk for modern games that still use the wii remote?<br><br><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vg5FP9vfK4Y" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe><br> | Benjanime | Jul 23, 2014 |  |

| 10033 | Remember Sony's "Walkman"? | True. I have some sweet Bose headphones that really capture every nuance. I can't enjoy my Brahms unless the 5th clarinet is clearly distinguishable.<br> | vkimo | Jul 23, 2014 | |
| 10032 | Remember Sony's "Walkman"? | WAV sounds as good as FLAC, and I really doubt it makes a difference if you're using $10 earbuds.<br> | shakin steak | Jul 23, 2014 | |
| 10031 | post-apocalypse movies | <br><br>The Matrix is a mishmash. It's genre filmmaking at its most advanced. Highly derivative and laden with references, it draws inspiration and influence from nearly every science fiction trope there ever was. This allowed a level of slickness, polish, and accessibility previously unseen in sci-fi cinema.<br><br>Johnny Mnemonic, on the other hand, is a direct adaptation of one single short story. Therefore some of its conceptual conceits were a little less palatable to a broad audience. Another issue for modern viewers is what I call the "left-behind setting" aspect: The hardware looks archaic. Payphones and CRT monitors are abundant in the urban landscape, to say nothing of key lines and plot points that rely on fax machines and VCRs. The dystopian regime appeared in full force the week the movie was released.<br><br>Sneakernet methods have today been largely abandoned with the rise of broadband internet access (although we may be seeing some return to them in the wake of the NSA revelations.) This also affects The Fifth Element, Demolition Man, and other future-set films. We now find this absurd in a futuristic context, and it may distract viewers not invested in accepting movies on their own terms and in their own time.<br><br>I also argue that the "wooden" quality that people see in Keanu Reeves' acting, decried elsewhere but somewhat appreciated in The Matrix, is no less out of place in Johnny Mnemonic, in which he plays a character who was once desperate enough to remove a significant portion of his brain to excel at his profession. Further, I know some people find Ice-T laughable as an actor in general, but I feel he fits the role as leader of the Lo-Teks quite well. His outlandish appearance in this movie should be embraced as soon as one accepts the cyberpunk setting. | shakin steak | Jul 23, 2014 | |
