Reading through the plot synopses, and Christ, this sounds like the most racist (but the 'racism' is 100% accurate) media in years. Which... makes me assume the Mephisto rumors are true, and the ending is Riri acknowledging all of the above and retconning the show out of existence, right?

Warsteeds could never get their sync issues worked out, and yeah, other than getting from point A to point B on flat terrain, are abandoned afterward. Big battles aren't that bad, however - as instanced content, lag wasn't too extreme. Honestly, most of their problems were UI based - where is...

Bear in mind that both the Lilo and Stitch (about $10M this weekend) and How to Train Your Dragon (about $37M this weekend) remakes are also in theaters, splitting the audience. The more important point is those two remakes opened to $146M and $85M their first weekends, respectively, matching...

1) This is a spinoff of BP 2, which made a chunk of the Dora Milaje gay and might have included a tranny? This shouldn't surprise you. 2) Again, the original version was filmed yeaaars ago - possibly before any of the most recent Doctor Who had aired. So no, there's no guarantee they even had a...

Somehow Darth Helmet returned? It would be nice to see Brooks and especially Moranis again, but my expectations are very limited.

I agree, which is why Gunn included his true muse, Nathan Fillion, as this'll be their fourth comic movie together (if you include the filmed but cut Wonder Man bits from GotG 2). But the statement that this has to be money laundering, when the highly successful GotG1 had even more locations...

Do people not remember Guardians of the Galaxy? Other than the start of the movie with the walkman and oldies establishing that Chris Pratt is from Earth, and relatively recently, Gunn then throws in an endless stream of new characters / factions / locations at the viewer, which general...

To be clear, cartridges were extremely expensive by modern standards, and took forever to get made. That was literally the original point and timing of E3 - Toys R Us, Kmart, Kaybee, and whomever else existed back then would see the game at E3 in the summer, order 50k/75/30k each, and that would...

As someone that was never a DC guy, I am interested in seeing it, but it's a dry intellectual interest in seeing what Gunn does with tone and setup for this version of the DC universe. It's definitely the movie I want to see most this (remainder of) summer, but that's just lack of interest in...

I thought NIL deals were a bridge too far, as they allowed well-heeled donors to sign 'endorsement' deals to outbid their collegiate competition. Now this is just the schools directly cutting out the proxy. I can buy the argument that the average player doesn't have time to hold a part time...

I think I've been to Best Buy twice in the last decade: Once ~5 years back when my headset broke and needed one immediately for meetings later that day. Once recently when my nephew's PC shorted out and I needed another power supply to swap in for testing (again, immediately). I too cannot...

That's actually packing incompetence. This would be called chimney stacking - there's virtually no overlapping bricks/boxes between layers. Removing any brick means its entire vertical column is now at risk of collapsing, due to no support from other columns, which is dangerous to whomever has...

Certainly the surprise of E3.... 's corpse to me. Not sure what it is with sci-fi games where "Fuck it, I'll do it myself" (Starfield to Outer Worlds, Mass Effect to this) is the predominant theme, but I'm cool with it. Not sure about the 'alternate history?' angle of it - I thought the...

That hoped for or confirmed? Because that casting would work pretty well.

We should remember that nearly everyone on this thread is a middle-aged man, which means by pop culture terms, we're all old dead fossils. Even a decade+ ago I would run into twenty-somethings that preferred the prequels over the OT due to their pacing. Hell, I will reiterate that even out of...
