Obnoxious smelly coworker at my new job started pestering me about what video games I play so I just told him “Blops 6, 2K, MLB, Madden” and he stopped talking to me. Works like a charm every time.

The physiognomy of start screens.
The start screen of a game can reveal a lot about how rushed the team was and how much pride they took in their work.
Starfield's start screen either shows hasty shipping deadlines by a passionate team overworked, or a team that didn't care.

“Predator is a rejection of masculinity” is such a Letterboxd-brained reading- if anything it’s a rejection of modernity, a high-tech spec ops team getting wiped out by an even higher-tech alien who is only defeated after Dutch sheds his weapons and becomes a shrieking ape-man.
Predator is great because it begins as just a really good eighties action movie and then it becomes suddenly about the total impotence and failure of that kind of muscular fantasy in the jungle. Like the dream of Rambo colliding into the reality of the Vietnam War.
