Trade Minister!?!

Okay I'm down. Its cutesy Shadowrun plus Tom Holland Chris Pratt is the buddy comedy team I didn't know I needed....but I do. Womyn on Twitter seem to be already bashing it. :mad:

Title: Onward (2020) Genre: Animation, Comedy, Family, Fantasy Director: Dan Scanlon Cast: Chris Pratt, Tom Holland, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Octavia Spencer Release: 2020-03-04 Plot: Set in a suburban fantasy world, Disney•Pixar's "Onward" introduces two teenage elf brothers who...

The movie does have some glaring weaknesses so I read Katie Rife's take to see if it was those weaknesses she was hanging her hat on. Nope. It basically boils down to her saying she's a huge kaiju fan that really wanted to like this but it's no Shin Godzilla (which she is a super fan of)...

Is not owned by Toho. That said I'm surprised that either Warner Brothers hasn't gone after them to get the rights to use him for these movies and/or someone else hasn't scooped up the IP to do their own thang.

Many of the monster scenes do look like pictures suitable for framing. The craftsmanship that went into the composition of the shot is really exceptional. Unlike BayFormers I was able to appreciate the gargantuan majesty of what we were presented with and still able to follow the action...

Saw this tonight at a press screening and really enjoyed it. There are some parts that needed a bit of extra trimming in the editing bay, but overall it's a fun film with truly stunning looking monsters. Definitely pay attention during the credits to all the news articles that get shown on the...

Clearly I came into this game at exactly the wrong time. The stuff that has built up over time compounded with the base game has put me in a perpetual cycle of confusion. I got to the 4th Act and ran across the Azurite mine and went 'what the fuck is THIS now??'. Its interesting that some...

I had not heard the tax credits bit. Didn't they film in Georgia? I thought the main draw for Georgia was a lack of a cap on the tax credits? Now I'm gonna have to go look all this up...

Trek has had a very big issue with battle narratives for some time. The original series was very much a naval combat situation in a galaxy where starships were not very common. This was perfected in Wrath of Khan which had the best ship combat sequences. Then after Babylon 5 and other shows...

Finally got into the game playing on console, and running around with a Templar dropping lightning all over but it's a very confusing game with all the different systems going on at once (prophecy, Nexus, beastmaster thing etc). I'm guessing many of those were additions as part of expansion...

So apparently the retooling of the end of the season was more of a creative shift than a lack of faith in the series. Apparently the later part of the season will see Tara Markov as part of the storyline as a representative of the Element of Earth which will then flow into Titans season 2...

Apparently the D&D cartoon is a pop cultural icon in Brazil...

I keep trying to get into this game and fail each time. I don't know why it just is not capturing my attention.

She really does.

The sad part is that with this being a second cinematic swing at the iconic story there is likely no chance of getting a third to do it properly. Hell at this point Disney is going to have to completely rethink the whole nature of who and what the Xmen represent in order to have relevance. Do...

It was a solution to SoW-kiting, which was never an issue in WoW.

I make no claim to this, was linked on Slack.

That gave me a sensible chuckle

Yeah Sam's NightWatch days seem to have been absolved and he is the rightful Lord as well as the only academic that is willing to deal with these Yahoos. Old Town should have been repped though.

Yeah I was going 'who the fuck is thi... oh shit THAT's Robin Arryn?' I guess there might be some advantages to breast feeding until the age of 10

WTF is Gendry even lord of at this point? Between all the various Baratheon civil and other wars I doubt there's anyone even left in the Stormlands to rule (other than Brienne who goes off to protect Bran in the Kingsguard)

That would have made a lot more sense. It would also help explain the onset of paralysis that brings the conclave together in the Dragon Pit. Greyworm would be totally out of his depth at that point and stuck in a feedback loop of 'what the fuck do I do now?'

Perhaps all the stuff with Melisandre served to show that there really are no gods. The prophecy she is intent on serving the interest of is garbage and the guy she rezzes, while he does stuff and 'breaks the wheel' is no Azor Ahai. She was just a fire sorceress whose belief fueled her power...

Yeah he does, and it seems likely that Tyrion was at least nominally aware of this fact when he sent him up there.

They are worried about the budget to rebuild a navy but not the budget to rebuild the entirety of Kings Landing? Who cleaned up the Red Keep? Is the thing even structurally sound? Sam got a couple of pity rings from Old Town via correspondence school for transferred real life credit? I...

Daario makes out like a bandit I suppose. He gets Slaver's Bay to himself provided he didn't fuck it up after Dany nuked the Masters navy. The Night's Watch makes no damn sense given the lack of Night King and the presence of a huge goddamn hole in the wall, but I suppose it's a good place to...

The throne did kill her. It was her obsession and led to ruin. Drogon was the smartest guy in the room. Glad to see they picked up on GRRMs original outline for a sequel where Arya goes looking for what's West of Westeros.

I suppose the restriction on armor kits benefits those builds which don't consume an armor kit when it's used. But that just seems like a silly bit of RNG to throw in.

A lot depends on what part of the country you are in. It was standard in the Midwest to have fresh burgers at all fast food joints when I was a kid. The supply chain was short enough owing to the overall locality of meat production that it made this possible. The first time I had one of the...

McDs still cant seem to get the supply chain kinks worked out for the fresh burgers. I would have thought by now that they would be able to expand it beyond the quarter pounders to include Big Macs etc, but they still end up falling back on using the 'emergency' supply of frozen patties during...

Well hey, at least we have a new Apparel Project season...

This casting is acceptable

Title: His Dark Materials Genre: Drama, Sci-Fi & Fantasy First aired: 2019-12-31 Cast: Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, Clarke Peters, Richard Cunningham, Tyler Howitt, Ian Peck, Lin-Manuel Miranda Overview: Lyra is an orphan who lives in a parallel universe in which science...

I don't understand the idea where developers think that offering such a radically different gameplay is a good idea. Nothing up to this point has really been structured around a consistent team of 4 working together or even anything that requires coordinating skills / builds / etc. So going...

I just looked at the casting and didn't realize that guy was supposed to be Jafar... he doesn't look like an all powerful sorcerer, he looks like a tax accountant.

I'd rather they include the matchmaking feature to at least allow people the chance to meet others who they can tackle the raid with. Some chance is better than zero chance because I don't even know 8 people in the game much less have a way to get them all in the same place to do the raid.

I mean to be fair he's always been more of a Moses than a Jesus....

it does kind of look like they just had some cameras filming a Disney parade in one of the parks vs. an actual production.
