    How dare you besmirch Gambit's good name. *As I look at the first appearance of gambit in a frame on my wall*. He was my boy growing up.

    Winter 2024 Anime Thread

    All caught up on Solo Leveling after being out of town a bit. It still continue to be great. I am curious about so many things, but mainly the job change quest. I wonder if it is an old school upgrade (squire > knight) or traditional (assassin > mage). Who knows, it could even be something...

    That was CGI? I thought the reason the choreography and punches were so bad was because it was actually Malone. Just assumed filming was from before he lost some weight recently.

    Yes, but the suspenders, they are hand painted.

    Damsel (2023)

    Eh, Dragonslayer is of my youth so probably rose colored glasses. I do think that old 'bad' movies with practical effects still do better than CGI similar to what was in Damsel. You are just well aware it is CGI and a green screen and it is very fake. Similar to the Aladdin remake, the...

    Damsel (2023)

    Not much to say about this, wasn't great. We didn't turn it off, but it went to background mode pretty quick. The CGI and environments were alright in some areas. Shohreh Aghdashloo is a good dragon voice. Aside from that, pretty forgettable.

    Spaceman

    Agreed, we thought this was enjoyable as well. It is the correct type of slow. Sandler is really doing a bang up job in his later years. Dano / Hanus sounded very similar to Frank from Donny Darko but I got over that pretty quickly.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    I'm still chewing on this one, I liked it a bunch and it was definitely a theater watch. It was a spectacle and pretty, but it fell slightly short due to coming in with pretty high expectations, so probably my fault. I enjoyed Part One more than Part Two, but the first half of Part Two more...

    Only 3, that's a shame, with that count I doubt they will even make it through (or even start) the last mage test. I was at least hoping for some resolution on that front. It is odd to watch Denken sometimes. His style, voice actor, and mannerisms would all make me think he's a baddy in any...

    Winter 2024 Anime Thread

    Watched Frieren based on the praise here, this show is an enjoyable watch. I can't say exactly what it is, but it hits on multiple levels. It was a bit misleading reading through here, I thought the season was going to be ending at episode 24 so I wouldn't have to wait, woops, now I'm on the...

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Boo. Hiss. Coming from a non-book reader, I loved the weirding modules as a kid. Even if they weren't supposed to be real, I am going to miss that aspect. Science magic.

    I chalked this up to him being the one, or a one. I'm sure other folks will have the ability to level at some point. I am super curious when the island that took out the S rank hunters is going to come into the picture. He seems to be gaining power at an incredibly rapid pace. I think he is...

    Mr. & Mrs. Smith

    This show was on the menu over the weekend and we finished it up yesterday. I was initially not terribly interested because I thought it was unnecessary to reboot / spinoff. I enjoyed the series. It is a nice easy watch that has some funny and action. I don't think it came off as woke. Race...

    Releasing a 20 minute show only once a week should not be allowed. I started watching this and was pleasantly surprised. I don't know anything about the Manhwa. I just like the silly aspect of seeing player screens and leveling yourself up like in a video game. The hero's journey really has...

    The Beekeeper (2024)

    We saw this yesterday for some mindless action movie fun. Mindless action movie fun is what we got. It jumped the shark for me in the last act. Peak perfect ridiculousness in the second with the other call center / FBI. But whatever, I didn't go for things to make sense. I went for Jason...
