Mike is now actively providing vocals for Noiselund songs? This has gone too far.

To be clear, if this seems interesting to you, just read / listen to the book. Much like The Martian or the original script of Interstellar, it'll be better than the movie. But to address Warrik's points (spoilered, but still going to keep it vague):

It's a tough call - you both need to include the alien stuff as a powerful hook to the audience (and also to narratively separate it from The Martian), but you also need to not scare off the potential audience that will immediately assume this is an Aliens situation, by establishing off the bat...

Yeah, of course Ford vs Ferrari is great, Mangold knows what's he doing as well. Haven't made it there yet, but every review I've seen is that Kosinski's visuals for F1 are the car-based equivalent of Top Gun Maverick and benefit from the biggest, loudest screen possible - and as others have...

Honestly, legacy raid drops (especially mounts) aren't the problem for serious collectors, as you can always just throw more characters per account per week at the problem until the RNG takes mercy on you, especially with how many easy 70s Pandaria Remix or the pre-launch events would throw at...

Not to mention its almot certainly getting more content still. My guess is a set of missions that tie into the next Netflix anime, hitting the unused chunks of the map before the sequel moves to Chicago, but whether thats free DLC or a for-money expansion is unclear.

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...
