    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I've often wondered exactly how much detail GRRM has planned, and has given to the show regarding the end of the story. Do you think he told the showrunners exactly how Littlefinger died? Just said his betrayal of the Starks led to his death? Or did he say nothing about him leaving the show to...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'm going to go with April Fools, but there was a potential spoiler on Fallon last night.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I agree with you and enjoy the theater atmosphere a lot. On the other hand just look at the the youtube reaction videos for GoT, sports, and other in home events. People are getting pretty good at making the home viewing experience good too. There is a price point that would make this work and...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Other than a some news blurbs in the background Strange is pretty much completely stand alone. His only tie in prior to IW was helping Thor find the dying Odin so I'm guessing rather than have an unlinked box they put the line there.

    Stranger Things

    It may be a stupid trope but it conveys in half a second everything you need to know about that scene. IMO better than having some 30+ second exposition about how El is channeling her midichlorians or some bullshit.

    Frozen 2 (2019)

    19 and 15 daughters who still sing along when they hear Let It Go. The mass market success of this is going to come down to the songs. The original had Grammy and Tony quality music top to bottom that hadn't been seen since the early 90s films. Having Idina back helps since she can make just...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    there's also info out there about what level items become available at the blood shard vendor. If you're only looking to cube you can pl an alt to the appropriate level to significantly increase your odds at getting the item you want.

    I Am the Night

    First episode came out this weekend. Kind of slow but has some potential. I'm kind of curious how deep they go into the degenerate Hollywood culture given today's metoo attitudes.

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    But a_skeleton_03's point is what makes this a hard example to make a rule from. It would be easy to say penalties are reviewable, but since this was a no call any fix has to essentially be the ability to review anything. Announcers always joke that there's holding on every play but we could...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The special this season is the effects of ring of royal grandeur for free (need one less item for each set bonus). The other buff from the latest patch is that nearly every set got a massive boost which means even shitty play can get you to gr90.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I was thinking the same thing today. Only have a barb in season but was getting multiple DH and WD drops. I seem to remember only getting this much alt stuff well into the hundreds paragon, not while initial gearing up.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I'm hoping, and this teaser reinforces it, that Marvel realizes that they don't need any spoilers to make this a must see. Are there really people out there that weren't planning on seeing this in the theater that would because of some flashy spoiler trailer. Hell, you could just mash up the...

    They Shall Not Grow Old (2018)

    Dec 17th and 27th. I guess it aired in the UK on BBC so there's probably some versions available online.

    Supposedly only in theaters for two days. Add it to my holiday bucket list. Second trailer:

    Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (2018)

    Saw this last night. Was entertained but I'd put it below the original. Princess part is pretty minor and mildly SJW but it makes fun of it as much as promotes it. Beginning of the movie kind of dragged until they got to the Slaughter Race and for some reason Silverman's voice really grated...

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    I kind of enjoy coop in SC2. Clearly WC has enough heroes and iconic maps to do something similar. I don't know that I would pay a bunch for a re-skin but add some modern game modes and altered units/mechanics and I'd consider it.

    Black Panther (2018)

    He probably drank the purple kool aid when his father retired as BP and gave him the job. Didn't he have to have the powers stripped before the first duel?

    How many of you sumbitches saved your teenage job money for a trans am to be as cool as Burt. My cousin beat me to the punch but he bought the faggy baby blue one.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Solo made cannon that a sith isn't dead after being cut in half so I'd say anything is possible with regards to Snoke. I agree with most of the rest of you though, what's the motivation for anything going forward and who exactly are we supposed to be cheering for?

    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    All the theaters I normally use all have peak pricing for any non-matinee now. $6 extra charge. Basically I have to see two movies a month now to break even which was easily doable this summer but might get tougher in the fall.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I don't have any problems with the silly jokes in the Star Wars movies (Jar Jar ones aside). It's just that, at that time and place, in the very opening scene it completely ruined the gravitas of the moment for me. It would be like if during the Kylo contemplating killing mom scene one of the...

    Survivor

    Basically the only thing I'm still watching this season for is to see if Dom and Wendell eventually turn on each other, and if not, how having both of them in final 3 turns out. I think Dom has played the game slightly better and should win but Wendell will get the SJW vote and was probably...

    Survivor

    I have to agree with all that but I'm wiling to cut Dominick and Wendell some slack. Thus far they are lesser versions of other players but that's because this season has mostly sucked. When you have multiple idols and everyone around you is playing terrible you don't need to make any big...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    It's not so much that he's trying to solve a resource shortage as shock the universe into managing their populations themselves. By increasing resources or artificially introducing birth control he's not forcing the universe to correct itself as presumably the problem has just been kicked 50...

    I also wonder if the "you should have gone for the head" is a hint at an alternate end after a rewind.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    If that's true that would be crazy, but bringing back half the population at that point would essentially make Thanos' decision the correct one. Unless time is reversed in addition to the snap.

    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    Yea, the "new" movie every day is how they word the restriction that you can't see a movie more than once. I can't really think of a better way to restrict the people who buy a ticket every day for the reward points but only actually watch a movie once a week or so. For normal users it's easy...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    The piercing vibranium part bugged me a little bit. Within the same scene we seem them stab Vision but then get parried by a pair of batons. Since I'm not a total autist though, the thought passed in half a second and I enjoyed the rest of the fight and movie.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I thought the writers did an excellent job with the groupings of characters that aren't traditionally together. Mostly this was the GotG interactions but the Strange stuff was good too. Two years ago I would have paid for a Falcon/Winter Soldier buddy movie but now I want a WS/Rocket one.

    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    Is this for everyone or just new customers? The new TOS I got pushed just said each title only once and one device per account. The once per title is easy to get around since that's not info that goes back in the CC transaction. Congrats I Feel Pretty on getting a metric for my 2nd Avenger's...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Yea, if you subscribe to the rock/paper/scissors theory of superhero powers Thor was always weak against magic. It's why Loki was a good villain for him. Loki being vulnerable to Strange was more Strange catching him by surprise.

    I think the drinking age in most of the former british colonies is 18 but i've always wondered at the alcohol rewards. Do they really give them full strength drinks or virgin/weak ones? 3+ weeks sober with no food and you'd get fucked up.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    And that right there probably sums up all that's really needed from watching BP. If the wakandan force field is some key plot point they'll have to explain it in IW since it wasn't explained at all in BP.

    Do we know if they show all the votes to the tribe even after Jeff says "that's enough?" I know they usually do a pretty good job of revealing all the minority votes to draw out tension but in a vote like this that is 4-1 do they actually show that last vote to the tribe? In this case a smart...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Perhaps the biggest problem with the 7-9 trilogy for me is I'm not even sure after two movies what an end to this set even looks like. Originals ended with emperor's death and end of empire. Prequels ended with making of Vader. How does 9 end in a way that is meaningful for 7-9? In these new...
