    I don't know, I think the meta should change up quite a bit once Modern Horizons 2 comes out. Following in the footsteps of the original this new set will again expand upon older mechanics without the constraints that needing to exist in a Standard environment places on card design. This time...

    She's really good in the Injustice comic books which themselves are better than they have any right in being. Just plagiarize. Heavily.

    Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

    The R rating is probably an error given what you can do with PG-13 but we'll see. It's possible the calcs have flipped and they expect to make more money with the R than they would with the lower rating.

    Ted Bundy worked a suicide hotline (and everyone thought he was great), Gacy performed as a clown and Dahmer hung out at the local gay spa. They knew people and interacted out in the real world. Only some serial killers fit that mold.

    The Face of Battle by John Keenan is pretty alright. It goes over in detail a couple different famous battles from as much primary material as possible and from the viewpoint of the people on the ground during the things. He wanks for a little more than I would like in the beginning but in terms...

    Best movie of the decade ?

    With so many reboots, remakes and belated sequels ranging from completely forgettable to utterly godawful getting Fury Road is all the more amazing. edit - I wish IT Chapter 2 wasn't awful because the first one was way better than what I was expecting to get. Doing a brick of a King book and...

    If they're still wet than you need to flatten them before drying. Get a heavy-ass book or cookie sheet and put a weight on it. As long as they come out on the other end alright they'll still be playable sleeved even if people think you were jacking it all over Nissa.

    Watchmen

    Never read the comics! There's a motion comic for it in which the comic is animated and then has an audiobook-esque reader/narrator. It's really good if you like watching things over reading things. Looks like YouTube may just have them all for some reason?

    Dolemite is My Name (on Netflix). It's got Eddie Murphy in the lead as Rudy Ray Moore telling the story of how he made his first film in heightened reality not too dissimilar from what was done with Ed Wood. It was a lot of fun!

    In addition to it being a clusterfuck it's a clusterfuck with no clear path forward. They're out of legacy characters to squeeze for nostalgia and can't do another soft reboot. They can let the film franchise cool for a few years but then they pick it back up again it's going to have to be with...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I can absolutely believe the studio put out a cut that JJ didn't think was the best possible but ain't no one going to decide to lose money on purpose to spite him. He's competent with a willingness to do the full media cycle for a release and you might need to call on him again.

    A Quiet Place Part II (2020)

    I would have very much preferred ambiguity versus exposition establishing the monsters are invulnerable. EMP + zerglings is more than enough to fuck civilization beyond repair. Making it a plot point that they absolutely cannot be stopped makes their unimpressive displays in the grain silo or...

    After Disney bought the IP does it still have all the different tiers of canon? I can't blame anyone for not giving a fuck about anything that isn't a movie (the films are tier one after all). Flash Fact - R.A. Salvatore wrote the book that Chewbacca dies in...

    On the front page of eBay they're showing me preorders for 90 with free shipping. Can stores even make money at that price? I'm not sure I could find boxes for under 100 at any physical store within driving distance let alone shipped to my house for free.

    Just like Twilight, it's all metaphorical. One (of the many) things I like about the series is how little shipping/harem building/romance subplots it has. I love The Dresden Files but goddamn it gets distracting having him get chased around by a dozen different flavors of femme fatale even if...

    It's closer to red/black Tidings than it is anything else and that card was playable at different times. Tidings shit for tempo (obviously) and this does that but also lets your opponent smack you with the best card for free which is negative tempo on top of already bad tempo. If you're playing...

    This card only exists so an EDH player can play it Quickened on their opponent's turn after hitting them with a Mindslaver or Emrakul and making them cast a Phage to lose the game. Then they can tell the story of what happened over and over again for months.
