    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I would say this is a win only if Feige was pulled back to clean up the MCU from whomever was running it for Phase Four. (Taika clearly could use someone reining him in.) Frankly, Feige properly starting up a ten year plan for Star Wars movies would have been a good thing.

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    Weren't the Saints already a fair bit over the cap? I get the Saints pushing while the division is wide open, but will Carr just be a massive cap hit in year 3/4?

    Lord of the Rings Online

    There is so much god damn geography in the game at this point, and yes, there's a lot of Gondor and Rohan. To be accurate, there's a lot of time of (especially) Gondor and Rohan, as there were (in WoW speak) point releases for Minas Tirith pre, during, and post battle. (If anything, it sounds...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    SJW issues aside, frankly the old scheduling didn't make much sense in general - Marvel was going to have movies in Feb / May / July this year and then nothing until Captain Falcon in May 2024? Even if they aren't tinkering, delaying The Marvels gives the schedule more room to breathe. (And more...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Now that Brady's retired, the are only two (potentially) starting QBs with two Super Bowl rings in the league - Mahomes and Jimmy Garoppolo. I would like the Bills to finally win one, but I question how long their window is.

    Not to be morbid, but including in your long term plans someone as old as Ford seems like a bad move.

    2023 Academy Awards. No Baldies allowed!

    I'm really out of touch, but at first glance, I see a lot of the standard 'blocks' fighting with each other: Instead of a single prestige sci-fi movie (Dune, Inception) that racks up nominations but just sweeps the technical categories, you have Everything Everywhere and Avatar fighting each...

    I know we aren't supposed to enjoy any part of Obi-Wan, but them retconning the story to 'Of course everyone knows who the Jedi are, but the Empire thought policed anyone who mentioned them / engaged in mass propaganda to discredit them' makes way more sense than any former part of the Republic...

    Yeah, while every recipe is craftable at 50 (some recipes are locked behind tradeskill talent purchases), the results have 5 quality (ilevel) levels, and you will not hit the highest ilevel on endgame crafts without maxing out those tradeskill talent trees, burning consumables, and possibly...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Considering how few trailers I've seen recently (I expect a ton of trailers during the NFL playoffs), I had no idea how stacked the calendar was. John Wick, Mission Impossible, Nolan, and Villaneuve? That would be a top tier year, Covid or not, then add Marvel lines that haven't fallen apart...

    Assuming DickTrickle was right and Hamlin was shoulderpadded at just the right point to cause Commotio Cordis, you then have to wonder if you can even defibrilate in shoulder pads, if medical staff spent too much time going through the (to be clear, far more likely) concussion checks before they...

    To be clear, I think the Packers have a single digit percentage chance of winning any playoff games against the Eagles, Cowboys, or 49ers (hell, the Buccs could be rough), but I am still flabbergasted as to how many things had to go the way they did to get the Packers back to this point.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    The fiscal cutoff for the tax writeoffs already happened, IIRC. And to be clear, we don't know what's going on in the background from a legal standpoint - there could be actor / director language that mandates theatrical releases (the Black Widow issue), or sponsorship deals they don't want to...

    I would hope this weekend gets people to realize that the Lions and Jaguars aren't the complete doormats they used to be. Hell, even the Bears kept it close vs the Eagles. Football is just better (imo) when both teams have a reasonable chance of winning any given game.

    It 'feels' like there is less to do per week if you remove the renown rank related quests which we'll run out of before long anyway - I can't imagine we will get additional renown ranks until 10.1+. When you then consider that we won't swap covenants like Shadowlands, for quest content we're...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    As others have noted, the year ticker in the newest trailer now hits 2079. While I was always on the Shadowrun side of the fence, I don't recall any tabletop 2079 events, and Phantom Liberty certainly looks pre-base ending, so a 2079 setting for the sequel would line up well with a mostly reused...

    Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022)

    A) I would have liked it more had it kept a more comedic tone all the way through. B) I would have liked it more had it been 20-30 minutes shorter. Setup and the seventeen climaxes could have been pared down. Still my third favorite movie of the year (after Bullet Train and Top Gun), but then...

    Ticket sales. It's LA, no one's from there, unless they put out a semi-competitive product, everyone will go back to whatever they used to do on Sundays before the Rams moved back. And tiny chance they care about the Chargers instead.

    It's both very odd to fire the GM of a team who's about to win their division for three straight years and also entirely appropriate, given that the Titans are going to need massive bad luck from their competition for the Titans to stumble into the Super Bowl. But, IMO, if trading away...

    While that's one 70s ass cover for a book released in the 80s, it's also my favorite Bear novel, and it's a bummer to hear he died recently. Pournelle also died in the last couple years; I suppose the clock is ticking on Niven and Benford as well.

    A year where there's only one North playoff team, one South playoff team, and at most two West playoff teams, and three wildcards at play. That said, good on the Commanders (and the Giants, for that matter) for taking advantage of the rest of the NFC's issues.

    I thought the animation _might_ be the most tangential Star Wars Holiday Special linkage they could come up with, but if there were any specific references, I didn't catch them. Kind of a weird vibe with the heavy drinking at a gay bar and calling actors 'pieces of shit' for a holiday special...
