    EQ TLP 2024 Teek (Random loot) & Tormax (Traditional) #neckbeardnostalgia

    People will show up for launch because launches are a unique animal but the last couple of years fucked enough things up that a lot of people have a bad taste in their mouth. Vaniki was kind of a mess but not a ton of people played there. Oakwynd had solid numbers but it also had a burnout...

    The Iron Claw

    Oh, I haven't seen it yet and didn't know they cut Chris. He was smaller than his brothers with less talent and got pushed in to a spot he wasn't ready for. When he couldn't measure up he killed himself. There's something unpleasantly meta about him not making the cut in the film as well.

    2001 spends a great deal of its runtime on things floating in space. There's a fine line between stylized minimalism and the director fucking with you. I really can't imagine contemporary audiences putting up with it on its own merits. The Barbie movie doing a parody of the 2001 monolith monkey...

    In this video the Critical Drinker recommended a couple under appreciated sequels. I didn't even know 2001: A Space Odyssey had a sequel so I was curious and checked it out. It wasn't bad! We get a little more time with HAL which was nice and although it's aesthetic is kind of off compared...

    I.S.S. (2024)

    How about this instead. You get a message. The message says "take the ISS by any means necessary." You assume that the other side got the same message. We can go a step further and assume that when they read their message they will also conclude what our orders are. Given these facts the...

    I.S.S. (2024)

    Made it 2/3rds of the way through before I started fast forwarding. It's pretty bad. The premise isn't horrible but between the decisions of the characters and the current year character archetypes I stopped giving a shit very quickly.

    Band of Brothers

    Boy, and it never develops it either. I will say though that the books it uses for its source material (My Helmet for a Pillow + For the Old Breed) are each much better than the book that is the foundation of Band of Brothers. The Band of Brothers one was dry and not all that insightful. I...

    These things are both true. Warner Brothers would never, ever make Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles today and what they would be willing to make would be woke garbage. HBO slapped the fucking thing with a trigger warning on their streaming service. Season 2 on the way!

    A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)

    In the first film we get news clippings about an EMP crippling New York. Toasting the power grid is instant anarchy by itself and then you throw in aliens on top and that's that. The issue I have is making them invulnerable (again, newspaper clippings) is stupid and impairs the plot...

    Buy whatever you want but it's a book that sits on a shelf. The copy you actually read is probably going to be the mass marketed paperback so when you drip mustard on it who cares.

    I wonder if some of this has to do with Black Adam being a flop. There were reports that Dwayne had a hell of an ego throughout the whole thing including wanting the DCU to put him front and center across Cavill even though the character is a Captain Marvel antagonist. The movie doesn't do very...

    I'm guessing there are a number of nerd oriented content creators that see themselves reflected and don't like it. More than one artist was salty over This is Spinal Tap which is a good sign you did your work as a satirist.
