    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Showrunners still "figuring it out" as they go-- according to McKay it's a "learning experience" to run the show. Season 2 is their second whack at this TV series thing.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Deal extended with current showrunners. Long term deal signed, up to 5 seasons total. There will be no change in showrunners going forward. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/rings-of-power-showrunners-deal-season-3-1235838612/

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    Could happen. But Disney would need to be black-owned or at least have a black chairman of the board first to avoid being called out for appropriating. Give it 50 years.

    I'll see at least 1 movie by her. The Cronenberg kid is making better movies than his dad in current day-- could end up being the case here as well.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    The bare bones were there. Some decent art. It was a really expensive buy for just the campaign and main story. It's not mechanically better than mobile game Immortal even by Season 3. The grinding doesn't give those dopamine hits you can get in D2, D3, Immortal. I doubt Season 4 will change...

    3 or 4 hags ain't gonna carry it. I keep hearing this 40's, 50's thing posted. Blanchett is pushing 55. Gina Gershon is in her 60's. I know Eli Roth directs a lot of horror, but cmon.

    True Detective

    Bloys can work her down to 4 episodes in Season 5. Or maybe a feature film 1 hour True Detective movie with the spiral symbol on the cover. A 60 minute Season.

    Watched some of Renan's fights. PFL judging is weird. Saw a 10-8 round randomly thrown in for a unanimous. In UFC it wouldn't have been a 10-8. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it's not UFC. The reffing is where I see real problems, and for that reason I won't support the product outside of...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The cast times and sluggish animations on Incants were brutal compared to Sorcery. Not sure if anything was ever done to address that or if it was considered intentional design to make Incant feel different. You had to research the incants with good casting speed, whereas with Sorcery you had...

    physical incantation damage. pretty sure it's quest-only though, so you won't have access to it unless you did the chain for it.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Fris is probably referring to the fact Cavill was offered a type of Superman agreement but it required absolute commitment, meaning no Witcher or any movies at all. Mission Impossible was his other project at the time. It was in the trades that Warner had a bug up their ass about him doing...

    Madame Web (2024)

    With you there. It's surreal seeing the Acolyte moved forward. One of their fastest concept-to-production feats ever. Everything else, Obi-wan etc, had scripts cut up and scrapped to try to improve the shows-- shooting delays, re-shoots that they called in Vader to do again unpaid etc. Even a...

    Is PFL unified rules? Doesn't look like that guy can make the 265 limit, but maybe he's doing a hard cut from 285 out from 300 like Brock was doing. edit: that's pretty shocking, it is unified MMA rules.

    Madame Web (2024)

    Doomcock has gotten very little right on his own. Any source he used was WDW from the Disney forums. He's the only source that's never been debunked. Everyone was hyping Filoni and Mandoverse stuff. Saying the sequel trilogy had a reset with time travel built in it so they can sidestep the...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Should have said consistent with Elden Ring original lore and storytelling. Messmer is a nobody. Like others, I don't really care for them pulling a character out of left field just for the DLC to make something up, but I'll give it a fair shake.

    Borderlands

    Don't think any real thought went into the casting beyond "Oh I just talked to Gina we just did Thanksgiving together this year, she can do Moxxi" Thats 2 movies back to back with Eli Roth directing. Strongly doubt he actually put the role out to casting directors. More like a "who can my...

    Not into the Messmer thing-- but I trust From is going to do the DLC story in a way that makes sense having spent years in development.

    True Detective

    Bloys is the same guy that allowed D&D to shrug off their obligation for more seasons of GoT and turn in that piece of shit abbreviated season 8. If he's running things now expect a dive in quality. As head of programming he never enforced even the most basic stuff like runtime guarantees on...

    True Detective

    Didn't think there would be a Revenge of the Sith-like post-Disney era revisiting of the reception on Season 2, but HBO continues to surprise. I guess this pretty much cements S2 as Godfather like Springbok was getting at earlier.

    Not terrible but far from the "big announcement" for UFC 300. They shouldn't have overhyped the main to such a ridiculous degree if they couldn't get any of the fights done.

    Madame Web (2024)

    Madame Webb thought she was in the U and Liz Olsen vouched for it in a conversation before she accepted the role. It's all the same to them, which is why she dropped her agent. Sony is running a rickshaw.

    Yeah they weren't classics, but he had achieved enough to where he had a reputation to maintain and live up to. Part of that may have been his agent and publicity machine. It worked for a time, and then he continued to deliver C list movies not on par with Hostel or Cabin Fever. He was always...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The overland map is bigger than Limgrave, without counting dungeons/areas. 10 bosses total. It's sizable. I'd say you could get 40 hours across all that.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I stopped at NG+ so will just go into it since From DLC's normally start at slightly above NG+ If someone is NG+ 3 or 4 they should probably consider a fresh start.
