    Eternals (2021)

    Here's a non-spoiler review for you: Don't bother. This has about as much to do with the MCU as the Inhumans TV series did. While there will be a direct impact from this story on the rest of Phase 4 (or Phase 5) that impact could be summarized in a throwaway line in another movie.

    Eternals (2021)

    I'm thinking if this had been made just a couple years later they would have been wise to start with a 6-hour Disney+ series that introduces the Eternals and covers a good portion of their backstory (which apparently is half this movie) and getting them all to the present day. Then they could...

    Doctor Who

    Smith had Clara at the end, but Tennant also had Martha. Martha was just dull as dishwater.

    Doctor Who

    Smith had Amy, Rory, and River which gives him an edge in my book.

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    Friend of mine saw it last month (they showed it to the people who went to the Ghostbusters panel at NYCC) he gave a non-spoilery very enthusiastic thumbs up.

    Doctor Who

    T'Nia Miller would be a good choice, but she already played the TimeLord General in the 50th anniversary special.

    Doctor Who

    There is this 6-episode season/story "The Flux" and then three specials in 2022. New Years Day, Spring (Easter) and then a third in the Fall at the end of which she regenerates into 14. The Regeneration sequence has been filmed but only her part of it. The next Doctor will presumably film...

    Eternals (2021)

    The incessant barrage of ads worked on me and I checked out the ticketing at the local AMC. The pre-sales for this are about as abysmal as one might expect. The 3D showings are essentially empty (like 4 tickets sold) and the others are at best 50% sold through for the very first showings on...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Let's assume that the next expansion was going to be a "Back to Azeroth" where we made a significant time jump and hence Cata-like reboot of the main zones. Such an undertaking would require substantial effort on the part of both the narrative and art teams as well as the various people who...

    Lost Ark Online

    I have long suspected that the gender-lock is, in part, why the NA release has been delayed. Other companies can get away with the unabashed boob shaking in your average Korean MMO, but Amazon probably cannot without at least providing commensurate abs and bulge jostle.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Those are wishy washy words that are not generally accepted terms. It could be as simple as 'the people we still have play a lot and throw us lots of coin for mounts and long-term-subscription deals'. It's likely similar to the 'per person' metric whereby you call it a success if you manage...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    When I saw this I figured that the people who had seen it were all using alts/secondary characters and instead of putting in a toggle system they just decided to default to everyone's 'alt' being considered an alt from a story perspective. Just cutting the content entirely when one of your...

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy GOTG from Square Enix

    As a child of the period I can attest to th authenticity of Peter's childhood bedroom. Between this and the background space for Demeo I think the 80s wood paneling teen dude room has been immortalized.

    Playstation 5

    Yeah I hit the link the instant the text popped, but it was already done lol. Not too worried as I did get one via the Target a couple months back, but frustrating for folks still looking.

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy GOTG from Square Enix

    I played through the first two chapters and I'm liking it so far. Its a nice blend of the comics and MCU versions to come up with something familiar yet different. I'm kinda wondering how much the choices I am making matter in terms of the overall plot.

    Since it seems they are doing one season per Seldin Crisis this could take a long ass time to resolve.

    Dune (2020)

    Warner Bros is gonna greenlight part 2... It would be hugely embarrassing for them not to at this point. Villeneuve said in an interview that Warner wants to turn it into a whole franchise by doing all the sequels/prequels which can only happen if they finish this first magnum opus. It's...

    I still can't get over the brilliance of the casting for Dark. Its amazing that such people even exist, much less that they were able to find them...

    Y: The Last Man

    I never even got past the start of the first episode. I just felt underwhelmed and figured I might go back to it later. Guess I won't!

    Young Justice

    I do like that the credits show the evolution of the characters as their designations / names change. Damn I love this show for its willingness to go all-in on stories. I just wish there was a lot more of what else is going on with Earth-16!

    Babylon 5

    I figured they will tack into the idea that no one is the villain of their own story. The shadows were a bit overly creepy/evil at times and that undermined their whole strength-comes-with-natural-selection mantra. They could flip their roles a bit and make the Vorlons advocate for a 'there...

    Babylon 5

    In terms of updating the overall mythology I wonder what changes JMS might make. I feel the Centauri and Narn are still as relatable now as they were then. The Vorlons and Shadows would probably get the most changes to make their conflict more nuanced rather than just Order vs Chaos.

    Another Life

    I will say one thing for the show. They kill a LOT of crew.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I didn't play the previous patch (despite wanting to take the druid for a spin) but went for it with Sorcerer. Still in the oldest chunk of the content but there are definite improvements both to the system and to the narrative. The rolls are much more interactive what with giving you access...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    Without much of a spoiler, Bond has been retired for 5 years at the start of this movie.

    Eternals (2021)

    They have said its solidly based on Kirby's original run which was a thin-reskin of what he was trying to do with New Gods over at DC.

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    At the end of the credits it says : "James Bond Will Return" They could have hedged their bets and said that "007" will return, but they did not. This seems to point to a potential full-on reboot for the next Bond film, which would be appropriate as the current Casino-Royale series is so...

    The killer being that the whole Empire stuff is new. I feel that the whole series is a reimagining of the original story.

    What If...?

    We will get the Gamora/Stark episode next season. The animation house that had that episode on their docket was too overwhelmed by COVID and so it got pushed to season 2.

    Midnight Mass

    Watched it with a couple of Catholics here in Massachusetts (one Irish American from Southie, one Italian American from Revere) and they had the opposite reaction. Mike Flannagan was born and raised in Salem so perhaps his (and their) experience was substantially different from yours?

    Midnight Mass

    I actually viewed it as very pro-Christian inasmuch as it's a love-letter to Flanagan's memories of growing up as an altar boy as well as holding a mirror up to faith. The only character that's anti-Christian is, ironically enough, the character that likes to think of herself as a Jesus...
