    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Max Landis got Culkin to film a bit for the episode Landis was on - (if you haven't watched Rich try to explain Double Down, then you haven't lived). Culkin then appeared on any number of Youtube channels to promote his Youtube channel/ podcast? (hell if I know), of which Red Letter Media was...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    Finally got around to seeing this and I thought it was way better than 2. It's John Wick. Vs Ninjas. Comprised of castmembers from The Raid. What more do you want? Sure, it has flaws, which is why it is not anywhere near the neighborhood of 1 - people get their jugulars cut literally 10 feet...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Why'd those bastards have to drag poor Jay into this? (I was kinda hoping they wouldn't cover Season 2, so they could save up the proper level of hate for Picard*.) *P.S. I'm not taking crazy pills, they did announce Picard is abramsverse, and thus we have no clue who the character actually...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    That would be Trinh Tran - IMDb, who started out as an assistant on Iron Man and now somehow gets an Executive Producer credit. If there's some Kathleen Kennedy-esque woke off, it'll be her. Sure, Victoria Alonso - IMDb is there too, but she's too old and was already getting Exec credits as of...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    Apparently realizing a few months too late that if you spend that much money on a RB per season nowadays, you deserve to be fired.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Given what Rian did to 8 and B&B are doing to GoT, dear God yes. Just make it an all-encompassing black hole of shit, that not even hope can escape from. Then Kennedy, Bob Iger, and everyone else can be shitcanned and written in the history books as Hollywood's greatest monsters (non-murderer /...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I don't know Spidey (the IP's) current situation. But thinking back on endgame, Marvel arguably pushes Spidey, Ant-Man, and Strange more than even Black Panther. That's a lot of wasted promo for Spidey if the contract is over in one or two more crossovers.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I wouldn't assume GotG makes it out in 2022. Gunn isn't starting it until The Suicide Squad is finished, and that has a 2021 (probably Summerish) release date. Yeah, he can start on his next movie before the press tour for Squad is over, but even a November 2022 date seems ambitious...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Updated Disney schedule has Avatars and then a single Star Wars trilogy alternating Christmases starting in 2021 (first Star Wars would be 2022). Give that Johnson has said he won't even start until Knives Out is done, that makes it virtually certain the trilogy is the GOT guys' KOTOR movies...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Updated MCU calendar for 2020 only has two slots: almost certainly Black Widow in May and very likely Eternals in November. New Mutants pushed to April of 2020 for the ex-Fox films.

    Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

    "Bitch, you've been to space." Funny line, and rather Jacksony, but it's not really _Fury_like, is it? Are Fury and Hill fake here? Is Peter pulling the sunglasses off after his They Live moment?

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Except that the first films will likely be the Black Widow prequel, and then Eternals which is minorly if not at all related to anything so far. I kinda get the impression everyone took vacations after Endgame was plotted and they'll figure it out once the building block movies are out.

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I believe the official statement was that The Avengers (as a team, and as a movie franchise) are over. I haven't read comics in a couple decades to know what the next teamup name would be, especially when The Defenders is taken. I'm not sure it matters, people will see Marvel Studios The...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    The short answer is Cap's timeline isn't internally consistent. The No-Prize answers are "He always went back and lived normally until Tony's funeral", "The Ancient One sent him back in time for some number of decades that don't contradict the existing movies, then before Strange took over she...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    Admittedly, the visuals will only be appreciated pausing the 4k version, but we don't even know who Wong is at this point. It's been five years since Strange got dusted, Wong could easily be the Sorcerer Supreme now. (T'Challa has been dead for five years, he sure as hell isn't King of Wakanda...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    If we're dropping out of spoiler mode: It's not anywhere near as good as Infinity War; the couple of scenes (almost all Cap based) push it above Ultron, but I don't even rank it above the original Avengers. I _think_ we are supposed to assume Alt-Thanos' timeline in 2014 falls apart, but other...

    This is a frankenstein's monster of a script, as it has to serve as sequel, 10 year summary, and End of Contract rewrite, and I guess I admired it more than enjoyed it:

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm still subscribed, but as far as current expansion stuff goes, I now only hit the daily emissary just because I can't break my completionism and do the lfrs once just for the storyline. I'm not sure how to construct a more damning scenario than that.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I mean, probably everyone assumes 9 will have a nonending so Disney can continue smashing their Rebellion and Empire action figures together for eternity (slightly change the names every generation), but wasn't "people telling Luke Skywalker's story" literally how 8 ended? Have we all blocked...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I'm not sure literally even one person on earth thinks any of this was intended from the start, but as far as retcons go, bringing Palpy back (in whatever form) is pretty damn elegant: You can retcon Snoke from Rian shitting on everything to a parallel of Palps tossing Dooku as soon as a better...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Wasn't super sold on the trailer (that intro was way too slow, just to mirror TFA's first trailer), but Dark Side Force Ghosts are legitimately interesting. Thrawn + theoretically unlimited reconnaissance (via Ghost Palpy) is a powerful combo. I'm not sure how I would enjoy Rey vs. Kylo in the...

    2019 Alliance of American Football - Regular Season

    There are statements they are already $70 Mil in the hole. Like, how? How could their costs spiral that far away from their income? Did their TV deals only promise a pittance and a chunk of ad spots, and no one bought the ad spots at meaningful values? Did they expect far more in stadium ticket...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    AFAIK, for Kaepernick's legal team to have proven collusion, they would have to have evidence that the majority if not the entirety of owners said "If you hire him I will enact retribution on you." Merely saying "That won't be a good look" wouldn't be enough. $10 Mil between two players given...

    Tenn paying $2 Mil and a 4th round pick for 1 year of Tannehill seems like a bad deal, unless they have to make the playoffs for them to keep their jobs.

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    Odds Giants saw the AB mess and said "Get Odell out while we still get something for him?" Also, is that the plan to finally break the Giants fans from Eli? Rack up a 2-14 season and kick him out the door? Shame to waste Saquon's career this way though

    As a sarcastic, early 40s, pop obsessed white dude that's lived in Milwaukee for nearly all my life, I love the guys. That said, we need them to call Milwaukee on all our bullshit. Except for movie theaters. I don't know if they're going to the, um, urban cinemas, but I literally can't tell...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    Personal opinion: there is no way Thor gets killed off, and they already have a literal dump truck of cash parked a block from Hemsworth's house in case Captain Marvel goes south. That said I firmly believe Doctor Strange and Black Panther preproduction is going strong. That executive council...

    I don't think anyone outside of Arizona saw the Cardinals in more than two games last season.

    X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)

    I was slightly underwhelmed by DoFP, given how much I liked First Class and with Singer back for the first time since X2 (or whatever that movie's actual title was); Apocalypse was a slog that had me hoping they'd shelve the whole X-Men universe. Hell, to this day, I don't know which timeline...

    There's something distinctly unmemorable about Larson. I literally can't recognize that's her in 21 Jump Street. Despite conscious effort, I can still barely remember that it was her as Abed's adorkable love interest in Community (terrible cam of introduction: ). By far, she got the biggest...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I meant stealth release; you're right that I should clarify. (Yeah, its got 6 months until release, but that's just enough time for bug fixes and emergency feature cuts to make framerate goals.)
