I've been assuming the Cardinals get the #1 pick since free agency started.

There is zero chance someone with those eyes is of euro descent. Internet says father's Italian, mother is Chinese.

Given how Just-In-Time movie making is nowadays, unless they've finished primary photography, maybe even reshoots, I would toss out any Spring premiere dates. Which is probably the real reason for the delay - sure, not having publicity would hurt Twune's box office in 2023, but not having any...

The Internet (TM) has noticed that Sam Witwer (the lead in The Force Unleashed games) had a voice credit in the second episode, so maybe they are doing an adaptation of Starkiller as the mystery Inquisitor? Honestly, I'm up for it - nowadays you don't put someone in a mask unless their identity...

It's telling that I don't remember any of the names or terminology less than a year out, but the future timeline plans on setting off a nuke to wipe out their city in the present timeline, so Hit Girl generates another timeline in the future, somehow transfers her consciousness to that third...

I took Hati as the other half of Ahsoka's redemption arc - Ahsoka gets to overcome her own padawan experience with Sabine, while bringing Hati over to the light side like she failed to do with Anakin. Hati's pretty clearly conflicted - she's skeeved out by working with a witch, gives Baylan the...

I believe most of the behind the camera personnel had swapped to the Fallout show. I'm torn; while it was one of the few 2022 shows I watched, I also think this would have Westworld-ed and become unrecognizable before long (especially given the nonsensical finale).

That was the least final finale I think I've ever seen. Apparently the boys hated ending the series on the idea of Hank and Dean being estranged, and Doc / Monarch being neutral, and managed to get WB to fund a 90 minute movie to fix just those two things? Weird. Hell, Venture Bros was my...

Is it more or less weird that the last time around (in 2007), the writer's guild president was Patric Verrone - Wikipedia, one of the main writers for Futurama?

While I'd like to say this was Patton, a number of youtube shows have received Emmy nominations in recent years (like Honest Trailers). Now they just need to give Ryan George (from Pitch Meetings) a writing nom and I'll consider them caught up with the times.

The show also had years long gaps between seasons, retconned or just ignored previous backstories, and constantly dropped / focuaed on new characters. (Remember when the Mr Fantastic parody went evil and bordered on being a main antagonist? I don't.) Personally, I am a little worried this will...

Nah, reality TV had already reached saturation by the last strike, the biggest difference was importing foreign English-language shows (e.g. from Canada).

Fucking Illinoisan taking shots at The Rave? Every non-superstar act has been through there.

Hopkins just sets off all the alarm bells to me. 1) The dead money hit was $22Mil - that's removed from the team salary cap whether he stays or goes. Therefore Arizona didn't think he was worth paying $8 Million to play for them this year. 2) More to the point, Arizona could have structured a...

To be fair, has the emergency (non-QB) ever won (as opposed to merely held on to) a victory in our lifetimes? That said, them taking one of the 53-man roster spots makes a dicier proposition. I would expect every elimination game to have one, but don't think most regular season games will bother.

Did Ant man fail or is GotG the only sub-brand that can bring in anything but the hardcore? I suspect its really the latter, and doubt anything will do GotG numbers until Deadpool 3.

Nah, all of 10.1s issues (to me) were already kicking in for 10.0.5 - a smallish area that only the group stuff has any value, but the player base drops off massively almost instantly, since constantly inflating ilevels means theres no reason to grind anything.

This seems aggressively mediocre, and oddly put together all around. The episodes (at least the first three) are short for streaming (~42 minutes), but standard length for ad-run television. But the profanity (and violence, depending on the country) seem like they'd be a tough sell for any...

Just a reminder that most of the worst written movies of our lives (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Transformers 2) were due to the last writer's strike, as the strike also covered rewrites when they ran into problems onset. Technically, the actors can adlib/ write their own dialogue, so your late...

Ergonomics have come a long way.

Like most teams that aren't sure about their QB, I would expect them to be heavy OL and DL this year, and if things go hideously sideways, draft a QB very early next year.

The kind required to not have constant questions about game fixing / insider knowledge, given potentially shared trainers, medical staffs, and surgeons between sports in a market. Yes, there's no difference in reality from a player making bets in the building vs in the car on the street, but you...

I think Season 3 salvaged Picard (the character) from the gutter where Season 1 and 2 had left him. I also think the writing on Season 3 did not hold up as the season went on - look at that finale from an objective perspective, and the vast majority of the writing wasn't materially different...

Am I glad to be wrong! Still going to be tough to top 'All This and Gargantua-2', but I assume Hammer and Publick and will be throwing in the kitchen sink for this.

To be clear, Transporters as murder xeroxes goes back decades - the Hyperion sequels deal with very similar territory. Man in the middle attacks during that process though are far more novel.

What do you mean sexless, Rey and Poe gave each other googly eyes at the end of The Last Jedi.... because apparently the end of the second movie in a trilogy was when two of the three main protagonists actually met? Those scripts had much bigger problems than not having a Leia / Han analog.

Going to be honest, I am fine with them Legends-conning Thrawn (in Ahsoka) into the reason the Empire stayed together before The Force Awakens, then having the Yuuzhan Vong level threat Thrawn was keeping the Empire together for be the actual enemy in the Rey sequel.

Return of the Crimson Guard is the only ICE book I would ever consider worth rereading, and that would be very low relative to Erikson's overall list.

Uhhh... The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (TV Series 1992–1993) - IMDb

That's not really true. First off, the daily login bonus will give you some amount of Virtue Exp. Secondly, once you get to higher levels, many of the weekly wrapper quests (Complete 15 missions anywhere, 45 missions anywhere, 20 gundabad daily quests, etc.) will all give you virtue exp every...

The 2023 release schedule is packed, but its very unclear that the mass narket has returned to their prior attendance rates. I think we're going to see quite a few films have okay launches and, only if good reviews, strong legs, but otherwise will wither instantly, with a mountain of films...

I've always been a slight anti-homer though, acknowledging that even at their peak they had weaknesses some team comps could take advantage of. If anything, the Packers are a prime example of the classic conundrum - is it better to have a team that is consistently good (winning the division)...

I'm on the Ben Folds since of the fence, with , and also . Apparently I just want my Shatner villainous ("You're right, I can't commit... _to you_"), the timeline where he took all of Alan Rickman's roles in the late 80s / early 90s is probably pretty great.

Last long term schedule I saw still had Disney alternating Star Wars and Avatars until the 2030s. Everyone would much rather have Star Wars' long term plans run by Feige than Taika. The elephant being how much of Marvel Phase Four being Feige rather than his lieutenants. That they've killed his...

Minas Morgul, the corrupted version of Minas Ithil, a sister city to Minas Tirith that served as the final zone of the Minas Morgul expansion. The map / storyline gets a bit wonky, as you visit Mordor in the second age in the 120s and then Dimril Dale earlier in the Third Age at level 130.

That's Mitty, the cat of one of the developers. A number of the original zones had GM rooms / Out of Bounds rooms with him adorning the walls. Also the name origin of Khonza Mitty of Kerra

I would say this is a win only if Feige was pulled back to clean up the MCU from whomever was running it for Phase Four. (Taika clearly could use someone reining him in.) Frankly, Feige properly starting up a ten year plan for Star Wars movies would have been a good thing.

Weren't the Saints already a fair bit over the cap? I get the Saints pushing while the division is wide open, but will Carr just be a massive cap hit in year 3/4?

There is so much god damn geography in the game at this point, and yes, there's a lot of Gondor and Rohan. To be accurate, there's a lot of time of (especially) Gondor and Rohan, as there were (in WoW speak) point releases for Minas Tirith pre, during, and post battle. (If anything, it sounds...

Are we finally going to get our Bret McKenzie sexy elf cinematic universe?
