Sen.

As for myself, a pedantic Jurasshole for whom these movies are practically a religion, I worried that Goldblum's inclusion could backfire, leading the franchise even further into crappiness than Jurassic World, a film in which a woman in heels outruns one of the largest land carnivores of all time.

After a pro forma but not overly pedantic verbal explanation of why sound matters to movies, it hits us with vivid examples, not just from contemporary films boasting big-bang multichannel audio effects, but relative chestnuts such as 1931's "Dracula," which, we are reminded, still packs considerable scary-noises mojo.
OK, so the main basis for the goat being "psychic" seems to be that he's previously predicted the correct result for Brexit (which, if you want to be pedantic, was only a 50/50 decision) — but at the same time, that means his prediction record is 100% correct, so are we to argue?

"Mr. Athos?
To say one plays the introductory hours of Nathan Drake's latest adventure — which opens with a beautiful, albeit tedious, boat chase in which the player veers a boat left and right into enemy vessels yielding comical overreaction, detonating into columns of fire and debris — would inspire a pedantic debate on the definition of the word play.
It's increasingly pedantic to worry about "who gets the last shot?" but it's also fair to wonder how Butler will react to spending the rest of his prime as a third banana, either spacing up in the weak-side corner or colliding with help defenders who aren't shy about having one foot in the paint whenever he takes off for the basket.
He takes us back to the beginnings of the most recent iteration of humanity in Africa circa 300,000 years ago and fills us in on all of the other ancient hominins who preceded — and in a couple of cases had sex with — Homo sapiens, but he does so in such an entertaining and engaging fashion that the book never feels pedantic.
Josh is the pedantic ethnographer who turns the village's magic into an object for study; Mark won't stop vaping and making lewd comments about the women; and the conflict-avoiding Christian — whose very name seems chosen to indicate he's the avatar of a post-pagan era — seems incapable of making choices for himself, or of imagining himself in anyone else's shoes.
