    Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)

    Got to this. it was just ok. 7 or 8/10. not as good as Paranorman. Set in 1968 for some reason. While the 20's-70's is great for spooky stories, this uses it to add some weird Vietnam subplot. adds unneeded "racism" to the plot. hey, hey. you are telling a ghost story to kids and...

    well, I feel like this post requires a history fyi. Solomon Kane was a pulp magazine character, by Robert E. Howard. created in 1928. A Puritan man, travelling the world fighting evil. the origin character for Witchfinders, for Warhammer, Vampire hunter d, etc... Weird west, Secret world...

    Chilling Adventures of Sabrina

    I tried to give this another shot. I bailed out with s1. started back up with s1ep 11. the xmas episode. And was so furious by the end, I said fuck it, and gave up trying the rest. The writers are just so shit, and can't keep their premise straight. They are witches. they are evil...

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    Watched it again. And I just can't see how Rita getting it back can work. Its set pretty firmly, they need to get the blood on/in them. when would have that have happened? yes, we in theory are seeing this from the out of loop point of view. so we would have not seen it. But alot...

    Blew through a few Amazon prime movies the last week or so. mostly the super low budget B movie stuff. Guns Akimbo. meh. 4/10. Total mis-messaging mess. Really do not know what this movie was going for. Hotel Artemis. slightly better. but still 6/10. All star cast.. but eh, not much to...

    Project Power (2020)

    is this based on Mark Millars MPH? Edit: don't see any mention of it. the idea of super powers in a drug/pill isn't exactly new.

    The Old Guard (2020)

    this wasnt great. I dont recommend, or think its worth watching. just bland, and dumb.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I've been trying for 3 days to see it. finally tonight, but no way im getting a photo like that. pretty rural area, but quite a bit of local light pollution. street lights or trees.

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    got to watch it again to see if that theory is true... been too long since I watched it. or read the manga. The manga tainted my viewing anyway. Also, would not call the manga better. just differant.

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    it was a bit of both. 1.2m back in 2012 was very good. But, yes there was some post iirc, where they stated the EXPECTED something insane like 9m or more. Which was d3 numbers, which was a massive outlier itself. and THIS game was a new entry, from a "new studio", and no real buzz.

    yeah, this was pretty decent. Very atypical. very slow pacing that was not expected at all.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    movie yo-yo is pretty clearly harley. comic yo-yo was not. pretty sure harley was seen in like one scene only as secretary or psych for Thomas.

    a UHF reboot featuring youtube creators might be good. public access TV may not be a thing, but youtube is. I mean, if you ignore all the shitty attempts that have already be done.

    yeah. A host would do wonders for this. also, first guy obviously committed suicide. He jumped from the smokestacks. Some baffling stupid things said. like, seemingly never even considering, climbing the stack to jump. or, "he left suddenly! it wasn't suicide!", while also taking the...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    yeah, I dont see the comparisons people are making. or the absurd "she seems so sad". Everything out of her mouth is a massive arrogant, "I know better then you, and im better then you." The closest comparisons I can think of would be like Ed Norton or Quentin Tarrintino.. who, are...

    i do find it a bit funny no one is asking the really uncomfortable question about Pat and Courtney suddenly acting really weird together, making obvious conflicting excuses about what they were doing, and vanishing together at the same time..

    yeah, dragon king, and his comic relation Stargirl. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_King_(New_Earth) so this seems to be playing out much the same. we even have seen Sir Justin. Cindy/ Shiv https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Cindy_Burman_(New_Earth) and Cindy is also following right in line...

    Zanki Zero: Last Beginning

    no. there is a bunch of Japanese dungeon crawlers actually. none of the ones I've tried, I would recommend. a streamer I watch sometimes, did a series on this. I was not impressed with what I saw, so didnt play, or even watch his whole set. (vid 1 is ps4 demo, but then he swaps to PC full...

    watching now. its ok. 6/10 or so. closer to The Terror, but modern archaeological dig, similar to The Thing as noted. Weak ending I think.

    Artemis I'm not sure on. so far, this version is nearly identical to comic version who is 95% supervillian. Young justice Artemis was a mostly Speedy, with Artemis's name and parents. and yeah, the villians are all straight from comics. the adult heros are straight from comics. with a few...

    The Vast of Night on amazon prime. 8/10. VERY solid. 1950's Switchboard operator gets odd calls, and hears and odd sound. investigates with her radio jockey boyfriend. The whole thing is a wonderful throwback. tech, sound, dialogue nails the 50's. little action. mostly just listening to...

    Eurovision. Ok at best. its pretty super derivative of Blades of glory. and semi-pro. Some weak jokes. The whole weird sexless thing going on at the start is weak. The "aren't you brother and sister?" stuff would be much funnier if they were openly a couple. Lots of musician cameos, and...

    The Order

    s2 is even worse then s1. ok at best. writing is pretty incoherent. the world doesnt make any sense. characters dont really have lives or motivations. they just exist to act as plot devices. The don't really have classes. They never really react to people dieing, or discuss the...

    Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark

    It gets a bit easier as you go. I petered on out this. I'm not sure how good, if any the post game is. Character/skill progress ran out before the story missions did. So, I didn't feel much reason to keep going, and even finish any story. the first arena fights are tough. Because its...

    Survival games

    R/basebuilding games constantly discusses this. Frankly, they are all pretty much lacking. Very very few stand out. most are just slight rehashes of each other. A number of decent ones, get shot in the foot with PVP ruining them. The problems. conan/ark and friends basically all get ruined...

    yeah, but thats also true about wildcat, and dr. midnite. Neither had powers or supertech. They just made that up to allow them to pass on the mantel to kids with nothing special about them. I feel like they have to throw some curve balls with villain>villain kid, hero>hero kid. Brainwave kid...

    Handmaiden is just as noncanon, arguably more. Kerillian is a Wood Elf Waystalker. Handmaidens of the Everqueen are High Elves. And entirely different race/faction. Ice witch Sienna next.

    Terraria

    its boring early. but safer. killing Wall, cause a V to spawn as well. one half is corruption, one half hallow. then smashing alters causes a random block in the world to be made corrupt. they spread very fast through ice and sand. quarantining sand or ice tends to be most important...

    I forget where I went into more depth, here or reddit.. but yeah. all skills scale off weapon dps. im not sure if there is an actual attack speed vs damage per hit thing... more dps tends to be best. also, since most classes are alimited by a second stat. mana, ammo etc. raw damage tends to...

    Summer of 84. Was decent. my thoughts echo some of the stuff said in the main thread on it. the dialogue doesnt quite match the time period. its not the worst offender for that, but its noticeable if you were an 80's kid. the overview is a bit of classic stand by me, goonies adventure of...

    Torchlight III

    Theres a number of major problems. First is the game was completely retooled since its free to play alpha introduction. it was originally intended as a free to play psuedo mmo. Shared overworld zones, with instanced dungeons, you can farm parties to enter. And, horizontal progression. Where...
