Well I'm not a playtester either, so no, not gatekeeping. Just saying one of those things isn't a profession.

>D’Angelo reached out to Pavlovich through an unnamed intermediary. “He would come in here [Rockstar’s New York city office] and just play the game. We weren’t even talking about doing music,” Pavlovich says. “When D’Angelo comes through, he shows up at midnight, and he’s playing the game until four in the morning. Each time he was just like, ‘it’s incredible.’ It just blows his mind. He’s such a fan. I have never seen someone that excited.”
That's not really the same as the job that actual playtesters do. Like I doubt he was spending his 4 hours in Strawberry logging collision detection inconsistencies with horses and various types of fences.

Reply to 'The Two Jakes' - quality? by PieceVarious
That's been the consensus since it came out, and the reason the third one never happened. To be fair, how do you follow up a film like Chinatown?

Both were originally conceived as movies when Disney was figuring out what to do with Star Wars. Solo's under-performance and the success of The Mandalorian is why they were reconceived as series.

Yes An Cailín Ciúin to give it its proper name as Gaeilge. It's a great movie too, and I'm not just saying that as an Irish person.

Weird is great fun and Daniel kills it in the roll. I forgot it was him to the point that a joke about Dementors completely passed me by.

He's great in Intermission too, another Irish movie that came out a few years before In Bruges. Also starring Colm Meaney and an up-and-coming Cillian Murphy. Good movie.

Yeah, technically speaking Ringo was the most accomplished musician in that band. I'd only say Lennon was the average musician, and he himself acknowledged that.
Check out Let It Be... Naked if you haven't already. It's a version of the album with all the horrible Spector crap taken off. The Long And Winding Road is much better without the strings.

The montage of Superman being an asshole is brilliant. Fixing the Leaning Tower of Pisa, then leaning it over again just to fuck with that one guy.

Reply to Martin Scorsese's After Hours is so underappreciated, it feels like his take on a David Lynch/Kafka-esque nightmare by nevereatpears
I'd say more Terry Gilliam than David Lynch, but yeah, fun movie.

Alien 3 Special Edition (formerly known as the Assembly Cut) is genuinely a good movie. It adds so much that was absent from the theatrical cut.
