1.3 MILLION PEOPLE ASKED THE EU TO STOP COMPANIES FROM DELETING GAMES THEY PAID FOR. THE ANSWER WAS NO. The "Stop Killing Games" initiative wanted one thing: when publishers pull the plug, don't let them remotely destroy copies people already bought. The European Commission's official response: - It will not require publishers to keep games playable - says forcing them would go too far - Reason given: publishers' copyright and IP rights come first. Your purchase comes second. - The solution: a voluntary code of conduct, developed together with the same industry that kills games - Plus an awareness campaign reminding you of the consumer rights you supposedly already have 1.3 million signatures. Years of work. Multiple hearings. And the part that says everything: according to the campaign, Ubisoft got a seat at a closed-door meeting with the Commission before the decision. The 1.3 million people who signed did not. Publishers can still brick your purchase whenever they feel like it. If buying still isn't owning, then at least now it's official.

Guy Ritchie’s latest film In The Grey (🌟🌟) is so impossibly average, it hurts. My eyes are closed & I’m softly rubbing my temples while humming to myself…the only word that fills my mind? Mediocre. And while I’m at it, what the hell is my guy Jake Gyllenhaal doing in this film? Between In The Grey & The Bride, Gyllenhaal is clearly doing everything he can to test my love for him. Gyllenhaal is 45 & smack dab in what is supposed to be his prime acting years. So why the hell is he in this movie?? You will definitely find worse movies than this, but I can’t recommend In The Grey in good faith.  The biggest issue with this film is the story- the story is absurdly hollow & borderline obnoxious. Eiza Gonzalez, whom I like, plays this film’s lead- a lawyer named Rachel Wild who specializes in helping rich, powerful, largely unknown clients recover debts. Wild’s job is basically to “fix” asset deals that go wrong. With her she brings a group of henchmen, played by Henry Cavill & Gyllenhaal, who help carry out Wild’s plans to make her clients whole again. The idea here is Rosamund Pike plays one of Wild’s clients & loses a fuck tone of money in a deal-gone-wrong to start the film, which leads to Wild & her team cleaning up the mess.  There is way….way too much exposition in this movie. I know heavy exposition is something Guy Ritchie has cornered over the course of his last few films, but it’s such a thin line to walk. When done right, we get a beautiful film like The Gentlemen. When done wrong? We get a film like In The Grey, which violates the “show, don’t tell” rule that pervades Cinematic storytelling. Cinema is a visual art form, therefore, we don’t need every single character to explain every last motive of every last individual who enters a scene. We also don’t need constant, never-ending cutaways to something a character did at an earlier point in time. The over-exposition, the constant cutaways & the lack of plot all create hurdles that practically no director can overcome, including Ritchie.  It’s not to say this film doesn’t have redeemable qualities. I think Cavill & Gyllenhaal have good chemistry together, the dialogue is just barely witty enough to keep things moving & in typical Ritchie fashion, the action set-pieces are done well. I’m not going to sit here and pretend this film is a total disaster. It’s not. The issue, however, is the strong aspects of the film are lost by the fact that the story is just so damn weak.  Lastly, a word on Gyllenhaal again. There was a time- largely from 2013 to 2017- where I felt like Gyllenhaal was destined to win an Academy Award. It was just a matter of time until he found the right role with the right director at the right moment. I no longer feel that way. Gyllenhaal’s still got his fastball as an actor- I don’t doubt his talent. I do, however, doubt the choices he makes as an actor. It concerns me that he’s spending so many critical years of his career making bullshit films like this or The Bride or even the remake of Roadhouse- which was fine but not something worthy of Gyllenhaal’s skill. Watching this film sort of filled me with regret over the fact that Gyllenhaal isn’t in films like Nightcrawler or Prisoners anymore, but instead he’s choosing to do films like this with Ritchie. All of which is to say that I expect more from Gyllenhaal.  This is a totally average film & if you choose to spend your time watching it, you should at least wait until it’s free on Netflix or Amazon.

A film you’d watch 100 times
