* Why does everybody on here hate ''[[Club Paradise]]''? [[Tropers/Cabbit Girl Emi|This troper]] has seen worse movies with [[Rick Moranis]] in it than that. Which ones do I speak of? ''[[Big Bully]]'' and ''The Wild Life''. The latter half is [[So Bad Its Horrible (Darth Wiki)|much, much worse]].

* The ''Resistance'' games for [[PS 3]]. America joins the war in Britain with not the slightest idea the Chimera exist. A few days later, Hale, the only person the Brits have seen to been resistant to the virus, is taken back by the Americans to join the Sentinels... a unit of men resistant to the Chimera. This troper is having a hard time deciding whether this will be explained more in Resistance 3, as R2 seems to hint, or is simply an [[Ass Pull]], given how different Resistance 2 was, stylistically.
