Between Covid, the strikes, and the rise of VOD and especially streaming services, the cinema industry has been significantly altered. It's _possible_ all those kids that still go to movies for animated movies _might_ go back to the theatres as adults, but if they do, that's years down the line...

Josh wasn't credited at the end! I get that he would want to be there if musicians are invited But young, innocent Rich - you were already in an episode where a terrible movie was re-edited and rescored! (Bear is a bit better than Jay at it - though that video also shows why I thought Bear was...

I hadn't realized Bear was only born in '79, that's smack dab in the middle of the crew. Amusing that they never shoot Jay and Bear next to each other, lest you think one is the evil universe version of the other.

I don't get this meme, obviously Kazaam (1996) ⭐ 3.1 | Comedy, Family, Fantasy exists, this just seems like 'They all look alike!' racism*. *Cross-race effect - Wikipedia is a thing, of course, and the predominant explanation is its not racism at all - until very recently (on the evolutionary...

It's Noah Hawley, you're generally going to get a really good first season (that may take a bit for the plot threads to connect), followed by uneven later seasons. As always, prequels where the threat was known to some all along, are tough to align with the original works, but Hawley's given...

I kept it vague, but if you are restarting, you should look up the specific dialogue options you need to pick for "Don't Fear the Reaper" to give yourself that option. (Unless you are playing on PC, where you can just console command the necessary flag, if you can get the console mod working.)

But as a reminder, GotG 3 didn't have a single character in it not from Gunn's movies - there was no contribution from the MCU. Domestically, Superman's actually been doing very well over the weekdays as well. It probably won't hit the domestic $340M of Thor 4, to say nothing of the $370M of...

The game's half a decade old, this shouldn't be considered spoiler territory. But for those who just got it free from PS or whatever: At least until Phantom Liberty, all roads lead to assaulting Arasaka Tower to get to Mikoshi, and everyone doesn't walk out of there alive. (Always available)...

Patched, loaded my save (~283 quests completed, Nocturne is only available), two base game sidegigs popped as doable (that should have triggered long ago), but didn't get quests for any other new vehicles, though I could buy the one new vehicle. No new map options. Beyond the display / framegen...

Chris Evans made just $300K for Captain America 1, and he had way more of a resume going into it (Fantastic Fours, Not Another Teen Movie, Push, Scott Pilgrim) than Corenswet. That's how these used to work - hire the 'nobody' for the low returns first movie and hope enough additional people...

2.3 was only supposed to be on the order of 2.2. It's whatever comes after that that is the real mystery, like explaining who these six slots are. I still think it ties into anime, as why else would CDPR not have announced / published whatever it is unless it was a spoiler / tie-in for the...

You said it, as weird as a Clayface movie being in the first three movies of a new Cinematic Universe is, Mike Flanagan is not one who's going to fall into the usual 'ad-lib everything and remake half the movie in reshoots' trap. As much as I would like to see mid-budget movies be made, and not...

I should have specified NFL rookie _contracts_, not rookies - it's mostly year three where you see the absurd performance / salary issues. Edit: And again, these rookie contracts should have been set by the CBA - its the (not actually members of the NFLPA yet) rookies that are bending the...

IIRC, the NFL draft gives the team that picked the player the exclusive rights to _sign_ that player to a contract, in that year, in that league. A player could just sit out the year, at which point they just enter the draft pool the next year. Being a year older and with no increase in...

You've answered your own question, for a game with a monthly subscription, resetting the gear once per expansion means they might only get a subscription from you one month an expansion. Instead, Blizzard (or their accountants) has long since figured this out, and it's all FOMO all the time...

I'd be shocked if Superman: Legacy (which is a terrible title, what legacy does a newish hero in his first movie have) hits Man of Steel's unadjusted $291M domestic (to say nothing of the inflation adjusted value) - it probably won't beat Sinners' ~$280M, and may not even top the ~$270M...

I agree that Krypto showing up, fixing the situation, then disappearing in the next shot is one of the weakest bits of this script, but you said it yourself - Guy and Terrific already have too many of the hero moments as is vs Superman in a movie with Superman in the title. Give Superman more...

They needed to have the public have a reason for why they could possibly side with Lex over Superman. Except with Ultraman, you have Black Noir right there, just show him blowing up not-Israel forces ("We can't trust Superman to stand with US policy!") and explain the footage as AI to keep the...

I think what's going on, and what's always been going on, is despite what I believe are Blizzard statements to the contrary, every raid member doesn't get their own independent chance at a mount. Instead, your raid has an X% chance of a drop, and your chance of getting that mount is divided by...

Honestly, this was pretty much what I expected: Gunn trying to GotG again, except launching an entire cinematic universe in one movie this time*. The overstuffed, overhurried results are mostly fine (7/10), and unsurprisingly, only the handful of characters I expected left any real impression...

That is one 70s ass cover for a book not published until '88. (As others have said, it's the best book about Space Chess ever written.)

I didn't think it was out for general audiences yet, the (legitimate) user reviews should just be people who paid for the preview showings, so that would be pretty self-selecting to Superman fans to start with.

Even if the EU demands that any game server stay up indefinitely / release server code: 1) What happens when that company goes under? 2) "Just release the source code so people can make their own servers!" I don't recall any other industries having to give away their IP, and this could still...

As much as I would like to believe 8GB cards not selling is due to the hard work of all of us in warning the populace that 8GB isn't good enough nowadays, in reality I thought that very few of the low end cards were bought by consumers directly - its the system integrators making prebuilds, and...

Re Stop Killing Games: To be clear, there are definitely cases where companies use always online connection checks as a form of anti-piracy, killing any long-term preservation (or even ownership), but this seems like it has wide ranging implications beyond end-of-life scenarios. DLC - Many...

As the old adage goes, there's no accounting for taste. Kids (or the kid-level intelligence adults) like seeing the dinosaurs go 'Raaawr!', I guess. I expect Rebirth will do slightly worse than Dominion (especially accounting for inflation) and still be around the #5 US movie for the year - it...

To be clear, 2.3 was supposed to come out ~a week ago, but was supposed to be on the scale of 2.2 - so some minor features, and maybe a cut gig from the base game restored. Unless 2.3 is six new fixers vending radiant / repeatable NCPD scanner hustles, it seems very likely there's something...

What is or is not going on with Cyberpunk is a whole rabbit hole: When Phantom Liberty launched, as Foggy said, CDPR did say that this was it until the sequel, other than a handful of bug fixes. Then 2.1 came out with new features, with one of the senior devs asking what cyberware players...

There's just not much to Neuromancer, and its not like you can add much from Count Zero, given that it's an entirely new cast. I suppose you could maybe work in some random Burning Chrome bits, but the only really relevant chunks (namely Molly's participation in Johnny Mnemonic) are going to be...

Look, I want to give Edgar Wright the benefit of the doubt for past service to mankind (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), but this did not do it for me. Yeah, it matches the book setting more (where the entire country is theoretically after them, and they have to record and mail video testimonials...

There may be a lot of loot, but the mounts are still not guaranteed by any means. Blizz admitted the actual scenario is more like they're 5% drops at best. Out of the mythic raids I've seen: O/114 Sylvs 0/103 Jailers 5/99 Nines .. which is rapidly getting to statistically broken levels (aka the...

Adjusted for inflation, it's in a dead heat for second worst with The Eternals, within a million of each other, depending on which inflation index you're using. If anything overtakes The Marvels, the franchise is over.

I always think of Pugh as the anti-Brie Larson. Personality-wise, she comes across as quite charming, in press and Black Widow / Hawkeye. Physically, she's near the bottom of Marvel gals, with her squat stature, pug nose, minimal breasts, and (lack of) muscle tone. (Not that Evangeline Lilly...

Mike is now actively providing vocals for Noiselund songs? This has gone too far.

To be clear, if this seems interesting to you, just read / listen to the book. Much like The Martian or the original script of Interstellar, it'll be better than the movie. But to address Warrik's points (spoilered, but still going to keep it vague):

It's a tough call - you both need to include the alien stuff as a powerful hook to the audience (and also to narratively separate it from The Martian), but you also need to not scare off the potential audience that will immediately assume this is an Aliens situation, by establishing off the bat...

Yeah, of course Ford vs Ferrari is great, Mangold knows what's he doing as well. Haven't made it there yet, but every review I've seen is that Kosinski's visuals for F1 are the car-based equivalent of Top Gun Maverick and benefit from the biggest, loudest screen possible - and as others have...

Honestly, legacy raid drops (especially mounts) aren't the problem for serious collectors, as you can always just throw more characters per account per week at the problem until the RNG takes mercy on you, especially with how many easy 70s Pandaria Remix or the pre-launch events would throw at...

Not to mention its almot certainly getting more content still. My guess is a set of missions that tie into the next Netflix anime, hitting the unused chunks of the map before the sequel moves to Chicago, but whether thats free DLC or a for-money expansion is unclear.

Reading through the plot synopses, and Christ, this sounds like the most racist (but the 'racism' is 100% accurate) media in years. Which... makes me assume the Mephisto rumors are true, and the ending is Riri acknowledging all of the above and retconning the show out of existence, right...
