    Willing to bet someone else's money that contracts were already signed, actors were already scheduled, stages were already reserved, etc. for Dune au Deux and the whole "if you want to see a Part 2, you have see it in theaters and/or stream it etc" was just part of the marketing campaign. If it...

    The Harder They Fall (2021)

    Sure they were, I think point of this movie is *you* weren't cowboys. The only safe spaces are all black spaces! Movies are Black Eliminationist or White Supremist; there is no middle ground.

    J49: An Erotic Life

    For a minute I thought you meant raw bear. I was sad I had never heard this wild adventure tale that involved Bandwagon with a stripper killing and eating a bear and then going down on the stripper.

    Not at all; I even read the one he wrote after the fact years later. But you're missing my point about them making Yennefer an equal part of the story POV when the books are told from Cirilla's POV and Geralt's POV and most of the books are Geralt (and everyone else) chasing after Ciri and her...

    We'll see how it works out. We know what the story is. DV isn't Marvel and this IP isn't the MCU; if he actually makes Chani the protagonist, which isn't apparent from everything we have seen so far, then the movie will fail and then it will be time to get GOT final season mad. Was that...

    She's fucking Tom Holland but everyone thinks its gives them Extra Virtue Signal Points plus plus whatever. I think she isn't a bad actress but there has to be someone better for this then Zendaya. Who knows? If it gets the movie made, who gives a damn in the end. All she does in this is...

    When part 2 comes out we are going to have a 6ish hour Dune epic and still you are going to be bleating about "STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE" and "BIG BOOM BOOM ON SCREENY THING". Is it the way I would have done it? Maybe not. Is it the way you would have done it? Obviously not. But the guy who has...

    It's kind of sad: Just imagine if they hadn't fucking spackled over all of this BS and had a solid release. So much about this game is good. They just needed not more time but better people making better decisions. The three Es: Economy/endgame/Exploits. As it is:

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I mean, Gavidmad is 100% correct: They were about to lose to an even earlier version of Thanos who was going to not just wipe out half the life as the more seasoned version did but per his speech, this slightly younger version was going to wipe everything and start over. Consider stakes raised...

    Tell me you know you're fucked without actually telling me you know you're fucked. I think this has to be a design decision from when the game was a survival horror Valheim game and no one went back and revisited it. Hearing that its client side authoritative though has got to be the Horn...

    This sounds exactly the kind of Bullshit Anet has done over the years that makes me want to fucking scream. How have they had so many second rate blue haired SJW asshat devs and still be open as a game studio? This kind of subpar asshattery makes me want to scream. No wonder video games are...

    Anyone who thinks of Timothee Chalamet as frail needs to go to Netflix right now and watch "The King" with Joel Edgerton. Chalamet is thin but after seeing his performance as "Hal"/Henry V in that, with his version of the St. Crispin's Day speech, I don't think of him as frail in the slightest...

    No one said it was good, it just saved FF14 from the hunk of junk of that was 1.0; that's it. Barely breathing and fighting chance is better than dead. And believe me, NW is cruising for WAR levels of dead sooner rather than later. What will be NW's second chance? There is no dress up, there...

    If you want out, now is the time to assemble a metaphorical Brass Karen Band and go down there playing 21 Asshole Trombones. Demand the machine right now or your money back. Also talk about how you were pressured to buy stuff you didn't want. Raise hell. Don't put up with this BS.

    First thing I thought when the Herald got off his ship. The HAR-konnen vs. Har-KOE-nen pronunciations. Herbert pronounced it the former way, while Lynch (who worked closely with Herbert on the movie) and many Americans seem inclined to use the second pronunciation. DV in his movie seems to...

    I realize you are a purist but if you don't exclude the next two sentences, I am aware of Kynes book-accurate fate. The details not withstanding, what I meant was, in the broad scope of the story, that overall fate remains the same. The place and the fate.

    Dune (2020)

    Oh that's right. I totally forgot about the differences in Kynes' deaths, although they try to at least get it in the ball park, don't they? I may be conflating Lynch movie and book but I thought Lynch was book accurate. Fenring is who I was thinking of that gets introduced later, rather...

    So rather than wonder, I just watched it on HBO Max in 4K. It's pretty fucking great. I can be wrong about such things without taking time to digest them because the artistry can overwhelm the art at times (cough). I have a number of critiques on this but overall I like it. - wow DV makes...

    If everyone held off til later, manufacturers and legitimate resellers would have to find a way to not let scalpers hoover up every card coming down the pike, rather than get on board the Scalper Express. "Someone has to fix broken windows. Let's break windows to improve the economy!!!"
