Seeing reports that it's been renewed for a 4th season already. Apple is very pleased with the overall quality and audience engagement.

This also jives with the news that they were editing episode even after the wire, adding in some 30+ FX shots so late on Thursday that the people who jumped on the episodes as soon as they dropped likely saw slighting different FX in those instances.

Minions: #TheRiseofGru’ is tracking to earn $129.2M in the film’s 4-day domestic box office opening weekend. Soooooo I think its clear that there IS a market for theater-going family fare. Will be interesting to see how many people didn't want to see it vs just decided to wait for Disney+ in...

I wonder if the title will cause problems? Its not terribly catchy. In talking to friends about it I've resorted to just calling it "That Chris Pratt Jack Ryan-like thing"

I appreciate the 'less trick fighting more omg I'm gonna die' style of combat in the fight scenes. Lots of kill-confirm double taps and doing whatever it takes to take the other guy out. Jai Courtney is also underappreciated so it's good to see him get work.

Also binged when they dropped

Interesting that they would acquire an entire studio and shutdown their only game. Is it that hard to find developers who have any skill?

Tuktuk >>> Space Vespas They should have sent a copy of the episode to the Boba Fett team with 'you may find this helpful' sticky note.

It may have shipped. I never got any notification that it had been shipped, it just showed up on my porch yesterday.

That was a decent amount of location shooting they did, and a respectable chase scene!

The comics were just a totally different deal. The first few volumes mainly involved examination of various tropes and parody of existing supes / superhero teams from Marvel and DC. The fun was in seeing just how incredibly fucked up each was. The show has a much MUCH stronger overall narrative.

What's the source for this? Certainly nothing I've ever read and I've seen quite a few stories about what JJ Abrams has said was on each characters minds during the bridge scene in TFA. Why otherwise would Han go into a bridge to chat with rando NuVader?

The NASA ship... my god that thing is small as fuck. We don't really get a good look at the Soviet ship since we only see it launching from the ground, but I have to imagine its no where near as nice as Phoenix with the artificial gravity etc.

As annoying as it is for Allison to be a total piece of shit this season it does make her a lot more interesting that being a total whiny waste of space. Spoiler for summary of characters at end of season [/spoiler]

I have a strong suspicion the Duffer Brothers are fucking with us. Ostensibly the part 1 part 2 split is because they needed to get more SFX done for the final two episodes while also putting them in a position to get Emmy awards in two different years. However while we are currently sitting...

I do enjoy how each of the kids could be supremely powerful if they only applied themselves in the right way. Well everyone except Luther...

Given the timescales, and the boots on Mars shot from the end of season 2, I kinda felt we would have some time-skips. We have had them before, they were just smaller and mostly every episode in season 1 vs a big on here.

You just know they intentionally put a lot of meaningful story beats and powerful character moments into this episode just for the sheer glee at nominating it for an Emmy next year and thus compelling the academy members to watch.

This expansion has me intrigued. It was great fun going through the story with buds, it just fell apart with the endgame

One does not look at their Steam spend!! On a totally unrelated note, are there any great deals on the Summer Sale for hidden gems?

I am in a Dark Clan yeah. Same clan as before that has now gone dark again.

5 is still the best character by far. Love that guy

Just watched the first episode which contained most, not all, of what was in the trailer. (A noble practice which I heartily encourage...don't give too much away) The marketing for this show has been absolutely terrible. Perhaps they are just relying on the 'oh hey it's a new season!'...

Pop onto this while having morning coffee and its getting deader and deader by the second. Not only that but they make you do the stupid 'intro to Shadows' quest again at the start of this new cycle.

Imperial Star Destroyers get consistently portrayed as being terrible at their assigned role. Can't catch freighters, often get taken out by star fighters, unable to muster enough bombardment firepower to take out a ground target... The Emperor had to dissolve the Senate because he ran out...

This is precisely the situation I'm talking about. That added structure ignited their imagination in ways that just did not happen before. Minions is another of the 4e innovations that I just saw Matt Mercer tweet about as someone came up with a 5e homebrew implementation of that whole...

At first I thought It was just a bit that people were doing as trolls but I guess not?

The people losing their shit over Homelander being considered a bad guy now... Did y'all not watch season 1 when he killed an entire planeload of people? In what dementia-enabled fantasy is he a role model?

Well it looks like this week they will run into some sort of Q-type or otherwise crazy scenario.

I will kindly ask you not to mention that Phantom Menace was 22 years ago...it's bad enough that I've somehow gotten on the AARP mailing list. Given that we are past the heyday of both Saturday Morning and after school.cartoons, what is the primary vector to market to kids these days?

Tron 2.0, the game, was actually a decent evolution of the overall theme. With something like TRON you just have to be willing to embrace it as a fantasy rather than trying to ground it in any type of reality.

I'm honestly surprised it did $51M. The last few PIXAR movies have been released straight to Disney+ and even Encanto didn't really take off in terms of public perception until it hit D+ at Xmas. People have kinda got it programmed now that animated Disney = Disney+. Encanto hit $28.7M...

I do love how genuinely terrible nearly all the supers are when it comes to using their abilities.

Tried the demo for this and quite liked it. Very calming strategy puzzle sort of game with an interesting terraforming premise that requires you to go through stages of development finishing with recycling all your shit so you can do it in a new area.

Well the Tron Light cycle ride is gonna open soon in Disneyland and Disneyworld so they need to try and maximize the IP exposure while they can.

I'm thinking that 'temp V' may not be as temporary as they would like to make out. While lingering effects would be problematic for the desire to sell it as a weapon for the military to use, Voughts chemists don't seem to be terribly good at their jobs.

The reason I asked is that from an actual game design point of view (divorced from the content itself) the 4e rules are really nifty in terms of providing some specific structure to combat encounters. Its especially useful for players or GMs hat are a little less savvy on the rules and/or lack...

Margo working with the Ruskies is definitely gonna be her undoing, but they also don't have many other characters working at NASA now. Aleida and Danny are the best picks for heading up NASA in 2015,but there's really no 'leadership in the wings' characters to replace Margo this season...
