I honestly hope the Cowboys blow us out of the water, so we still fire Joe Barry and make it more likely the Cowboys are stuck in neutral with McFatty. Win / Win.

There's no evidence any of this will matter long term to The Franchise, so its just the question if the rushed storylines work for you. That said, if Episode 1 with its Blade Runner vibe, plausible character mashups (Jude Law / Korg / Howard the Duck / etc. in a space setting), and mostly...

In case you missed Noiselund creating the next Christmas classic (move over Mariah!):

So the Lions win their first division title since the eight division structure (and the NFC North) was created in the 2002 season, and will play their first home playoff game since Ford Field opened in 2001. Obviously, as a Packers fan I don't wish the Lions any luck in the playoffs, but that...

When I saw the end of episode three, I thought "They aren't actually going to have a midseason arc where the audience is plausibly supposed to believe guitar guy could be a traitor, and not the only candidate to have hired the rest of the old team and/or gathered the data and/or hid the flash...

Man those last five minutes are filled with the holiday spirit.

I may have been multitasking at the time, but I have zero clue out of the flashback crew who died in the interim vs. is currently unreachable vs. wasn't mentioned (and therefore will probably die in the flashbacks). I was also assuming younger white guy would end up being the mole, but that may...

The most aggressive editing I've ever seen

Just a reminder that E3 served multiple purposes: 1) In the days when games were printed ROMs that took months to produce, publishers and retailers would agree in June to the number of cartridges to be made. With discs / digital, that lead time is far reduced / irrelevant, and they don't need...

I hadn't paid attention to this at all - I knew there was some preemptive lore-rage about an NCR flag in a vault months ago, and that's it (and that's probably explained by it being a different opened Vault than the female protagonist, which the NCR treats like religious communes that the...

As preposterous as I thought it earlier in the season, I can think of no better coronation for Love as starter... than the Packers to win the 7th seed and get absolutely obliterated by the 49ers.

Even adjusting for inflation, that has to be the highest budget failure they've gone after, yes? Even when they covered Double Dragon on a BotW years ago they mentioned something like "This is too much of a real movie for this show".

If the season ended today, the Seahawks would be the #6 seed in the NFC. I get that Geno has slumped back to earth (or, like Dobbs, people have enough current tape to gameplan against him), but fans wanting 70% of the coaches in the league fired every year isn't realistic.

If all games were played on Sundays, any team with a bye would play one game in a 20 day stretch - 1 in 23 just meant they had a TNF game prior to their bye week. (I'm still of the opinion we should toss the third preseason game, start the season a week early, and add a second bye week, which...

I was definitely underwhelmed - the movie starts off strong in terms of initial setting and effects, but falls apart more and more the further along it goes. First its realizing that it's just androids - I get the budget limitations, but this isn't a non-human civilization like The Matrix...

I get Green Bay not having any defense with their injuries, but what's the Lions' excuse.

I did not see the injury itself, but Bosa's reaction was not that of a veteran with a "questionable foot injury". Also the Chargers should be demolishing the Packers, are they that unused to the cold?

I'm not a farmer and don't know crop growing seasons vs weed growth, but some regions burn weeds at various points in the year, though that looks like a hideously inefficient delivery method. https://deltaliquidenergy.com/flame-weeding-with-propane/

Not going to lie, at this point I get a significant percent of my RLM enjoyment from whatever Noiselund has banged out this time, e.g.

It _should_ sting Feige when the only good MCU movie between GotG 3 in May of 2023 (which, now that I think about it, doesn't have a single character appear in it that isn't from Gunn's movies) and whatever theoretical movie in 2025+ might be good (maybe Thunderbolts in Summer 2025? Maybe?) is...

Eh, as that Thor clip just above shows (which clearly had a very different Valhalla arc, and no Korg or Valkyrie around), Marvel has basically been operating in a 'first draft' mode before they go in and rewrite huge chunks for a while now. But unless Thunderbolts can somehow still make...

The spoiler is that characters we found out exist in other timelines in Dr Strange 2... exist in other timelines? And at this point it looks like the only 2024 movies will be Deadpool (which, like GOTG 3, will be huge regardless of the Marvel affiliation), and Captain Falcon, which will be mid...

Let me guess, they're a POC and/or woman with no track record of making action movies? Because that may not matter. Everyone involved has admitted that the action scenes are pre-vised to death and basically the directors aren't involved, with the directors just doing the talky bits. That's why...

While I personally wish more films were shorter (John Wick 1's only 1 hour 40 minutes, and frankly that could have been trimmed at the end), in general nowadays a super short blockbuster means they kept the action bits and the barest connective tissue between them, because everything that wasn't...

Yeah, this just strikes me as the current X.Y.5s will be the new point releases, and the current point releases will just be slightly inflated into new 'expansions'. Even worse, the quick blurb has them reusing Quel'Thalas for 'expansion' 2 and Northrend for 'expansion' 3, so who knows how much...

You've got a while to catch up - ‘Mission: Impossible 8’ Delayed to Summer 2025, ‘A Quiet Place’ Prequel Moves to Summer 2024 (Again, not having 2024 inventory is the reason so many movies were delayed out of 2023, not the 'huge' box office hits for actors not doing publicity with people you've...

Packers losing to the Broncos and their (passing for a) #1 WR is clutching his knee? Save some booze for me.

AFAIK, there wasn't even a mention. The year ticker in one of the Phantom Liberty trailers lists 2079, which made many of us assume Orion would be set then, but now that we know the epilogue is set in 2079, I don't believe there's even any hints as to Orion's setting.

I finally got around to finishing this myself. 1) I thought the espionage feel (including the Bond-ian credit sequence) really differentiated it from the main game. The level of tech the setting has should make spoofing identities very easy, and no one should be sure who they're actually working...

Spoilers, if you've only seen the first five, you've mostly been dealing with the slow (but necessary) setup - episode 6 in particular is pretty great as it starts to show just how competent (and therefore how much of a threat) the empire really is. That said, I think I prefer the setting of...

This is one hell of a costly game for the Bills.

This wasn't the worst Star Wars product made, but in retrospect it wasn't worth my time to get a couple of decent lightsaber scenes, at the cost of all but assassinating Thrawn as a live action villain. (He's a blue dude that's good at justifying his failures. Be afraid!) Much like the sequels...

We're just four weeks in and I'm willing to write off half the teams. Hell, I don't know if I would bet a single dollar on anyone other than Bills / Dolphins / Ravens / Chiefs / Eagles / Cowboys / Lions / 49ers / Seahawks to even make the playoffs.

This is getting much further out of control than I figured, woof. Packers injuries are really stacking up.

This. Unlike the 80s, where nearly all movies were made for bored teen males, tv and movies now being written for only women is because men switched to videogames years ago. That's also the reason why sports TV contracts are ridiculous: they are the only media men - especially high value...

Hati continues to all but tell Baylan "We're getting involved even further with the witches? You do realize we are the baddies then.", so her being the one (and not Thrawn) to turn against the witches seems inevitable. There's only, what, two episodes left, and Ahsoka hasn't even landed yet...

He's not supposed to be a badass, he's supposed to be Moriarty with a navy - a tactical and strategic genius that knows you better than you know yourself and will use that to confound and defeat you. The other half is Thrawn, at least the still canon prequel books Thrawn, isn't evil. He just...

The Captain rides again.

Also, I have to ask: What the heck happened with non-lethal damage? Blunt weapons, contagion, short circuit, etc. all lost their non-lethal flag, but takedowns still give you the non-lethal option, and apparently there's a weapon mod to reenable non-lethal somewhere. You can argue if non-lethal...

Clothing is weird, as its not completely cosmetic. It doesn't give armor - except for a couple the chest piece web vests that still do - but pieces do give other effects. I'm currently running around with a quickhack upload reducing eye visor, a camo balaclava (and camo does reduce enemies'...
