No, Band of Brothers is better, for not diving so much into melodrama and situations quite so contrived. Feels more real for it.

Another weak one that most people like is The Last Crusade. That one is worse than Saving Private Ryan, but it isn't as highly regarded. It's a dumber Indiana Jones with weaker setpieces and more embarrassing humor.

He made a lot of very good to great movies. I haven't followed him in the 2010s, except for Lincoln, which was alright. Saving Private Ryan is the most overrated of them all. The best thing I can say about it is that it brought us Band of Brothers.

The trailer also shows young Morpheus and Neo/Thomas fighting in a dojo. Lame. Unbelievably lame.

‘Matrix 4′ Trailer & Title Unveiled During Warner Bros’ CinemaCon Reel

The trailer begins with Neil Patrick Harris talking to Keanu Reeves’ Neo. A near future San Francisco. It appears that Neo is trapped in a humdrum world, much like his first self in the 1999 movie. He’s just not getting his surroundings.

“Am I crazy?” asks Reeves’ Neo. “We don’t use that word in here,” says Harris’ therapist.

Reeves comes in contact with Carrie Anne Moss’ Trinity in a cafe: “Have we met?” she asks Neo.

A shot of blue pills spilling into a sink, as Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” song plays.

Then a shot of Neo distorting into an old man in the mirror. A younger Morpheus tells Neo “time to fly,” handing him a red pill.

Then a lot of jumping, a lot of twists in midair, karate and all the acrobats we expect from a Matrixmovie.

I knew it would be a safe reboot, as is the norm now, but to be honest, I didn't expect them to go so hard in the safe reboot direction, if the account of that trailer is to be believed, with Neo even taking the red pill from Morpheus again and this convenient amnesia for both him and his love. Christ, do something new.

I guess it sells. Maybe the developer also hates city life (Paris). I'd like another Dontnod game set in France. Odd that only their debut, Remember Me, was.

The above there look like Star Wars. Not all in art styles I even like. As you know I don't watch CG animation and find the hair in Clone Wars wooden. But they look like Star Wars. That Visions trailer just reminds me of any number of slick modern anime about kids and flash.

Looks nothing like Star Wars.

If only. The Animatrix wasn't that good, but at least it came out when there was still more design variety in Japan. The Wachowskis were cool for seeking out so many vastly different styles. Something which I don't see from Disney here.

I'm bored of all the noseless (or tiny, upturned noses), chinless, big-eyed (with tiny irises), jawless, crazy-haired, lipless, skinny, lanky, petite character designs. A lot of that stuff can be visually attractive in the medium, but it's all so homogenized and generic now. A few exceptions here and there don't break the rule. When it's not those things, it's all slick, clean and cool, to the point of being off-putting and lame.

Those fabulous looking Moffs would be drummed out of the Nazis Empire so fast. Even the storm trooper there is too slim to be a storm trooper. This too because the artists and their consumers are so obsessed with having everything appear slick and cool. No style.

I wish everybody stopped doing AI upscales. Always disappoints me when somebody uploads a music video or concert that is unavailable to buy or officially view anywhere in waxy 4K or 1080p and doesn't make the original unaltered file available as well. They always look worse than the SD videos. This one was fine, but that's because the original video has so little detail to begin with, with very low res textures and no grain even. And this category of AI-upscaling has almost no usable applications. After all, if you were actually upscaling the game in play, it would be better to just render it natively in 1080p or above.

Alien Isolation, Dark Souls (PC), Dark Souls (PS3, lost account), Dark Souls II, Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, Demon's Souls (PS3, lost account), Inside, Max Payne 3, Resident Evil 4, Soma and The Walking Dead.

I got all the achievements in Streets 4, one of the few games in which I did. Then the DLC came out, which added new achievements. Tried several times to get to level 30 in Survival. I can't. So it will stay incomplete.

I don't care enough about achievements, though. Rarely do I even try. Crazy Taxi is a good example. All that's stopping me from having them all is getting C-class, B-class and A-class licenses. But I never drive that badly, so it will always stay incomplete. I don't even want those badges of shame. All the things I "achieved" in that game I would have done anyway, to reclaim what I earned on the Dreamcast version when I was a kid. Similarly, I think the only things stopping me from getting all the achievements in Jet Set Radio were tiresome things like using all the graffiti tags. But by Dreamcast standards (before achievements), I completed the game (again).
