I would assume most of the villains / daytime Punisher are a montage at the beginning, with the later Scorpion fight going badly / oddly (either saved by or then meeting with Punisher afterward at night), until he realizes he's actually been under psychic attack by the mind controller working...

So "2.0" is: Slight updates to the super powers, which were so meaningless no one cares about them. A free roam mode _if_ you found the base mechanics interesting enough to want to play more of (which was the whole problem). A more elaborate version of faction ambushes. I have a hard time...

Apparently its a twenty year time gap in the movie. I'm not sure how they thought casting Ana Taylor Joy, who's just one year younger than Timothee, was ever going to work in any sequel(s), "spice enhances life" or not.

I was not expecting Sentimental Value to get International, but hey, "Euro" block and "Movies About Movies" block still representing. Honestly surprised Frankenstein did as well as it did, even if it was the usual genre related technical categories. GDT is burning through his Oscar cache on...

My understanding is it is actually the opposite - with the way void years immediately apply to the cap, and the limited space the Eagles have, the Eagles need Goedert to sign some sort of extension to stretch out his void years to be able to eat the dead money from Brown _if Brown_ were to be...

Jack II looking very ethnic.

While this sort of scenario has happened before (every trade is subject to passing the physical), the timing is horrible - the Raiders now have a ton of new hires they made under the assumption they wouldn't be carrying Crosby's salary, and they still have to be compliant to the 2026 cap _today_...

For Malik Willis, that's a lot of guaranteed money for such few starts, but at the same time a pretty low average per year for the #1 QB candidate (that isn't offset by someone else paying his salary). Speaking of which, it'll be interesting to see if there's enough interest in Kyler that...

I don't see Supergirl doing anywhere near Superman territory. Stuff like The Marvels shows women saw _a_ movie featuring women in each universe (Captain Marvel / Wonder Woman) and won't bother to come back for a second just because there's a woman in the lead. No Gunn, a character people care...

What Cad said - beyond "The Mandarin" (who is just an actor, after all), Wonder Man is very disconnected from the MCU and can basically be enjoyed as a stand alone. And yes, the B&W flashback episode is the highpoint. Note that, like most material about Hollywood / Hollywood productions, your...

Yeah, there's a lot of zooms on faces and such that look like spaghetti westerns at first glance, until you remember who did it and it turns into "I see what you did there". I have not spotted the Olds turned into a wagon yet, however. Honestly, the bigger style departure is Raimi going full...

Am I the only person who gets the exact opposite vibes? In living memory, Xbox was able to wrest significant marketshare from a global rival (the 360). "Their" IP has significant mass market recognition - the Fallout TV show is popular, The Minecraft Movie was the second biggest movie in the US...

You're not wrong that the sudden 20th century soundtrack did remind me most of A Knight's Tale, but I meant this:

The caveat is (again) that this is the most concise (and probably the best) Westeros story Martin wrote, and they only have two more published stories to work with. Hell, you could argue that even the material they added to this season doesn't particularly hold up. Egg exercising Thunder? Sure...

I honestly don't know if even that's good enough. It's not just that the connector needs to stay mated to the video card, the individual wires need to stay properly mated to the connector. I'm not convinced that cage would block you from snagging _a_ wire and pulling it away from the connector...

I agree that Rich dinging a movie because its not a 100% identical adaptation is dumb - instead, ding the Spider-Man movies because nearly* all the kids are terrible people. But looking at his list, Jay's Top 5 are going to be something like Evil Dead II / Spider-Man 2 / Darkman / Drag Me to...

I'm watching it thinking "Part 3 is going to be pretty boring. Every movie Raimi made between 87 and 98 - guessing Rich ranks it something like 1) Army of Darkness 2) The Quick and the Dead 3) Darkman 4)Evil Dead II 5)A Simple Plan - was great to a classic. This is going to be 30 minutes of Rich...

I think people are overlooking this factor. If the Datacenter-fueled component-pocalypse is about to shake up the entire industry for years (in terms of delayed hardware, price increases on existing hardware that already capped out on sales, screwing with release timelines for any future games...

I bought the expansion (the sub and expansions are a trivial amount given current inflation), and... purchased a house, skipped the tutorial, then put down one additional room and one piece of furniture to see how intuitive the process was if you skipped the tutorial (not bad). I haven't...

Keep in mind, only Sony's lawyers know how encumbered any given game contract was - Bloodborne's contract could have been hard limited to the PS4, and Sony doubts a remake would have sold well enough to cover whatever From wants to allow remakes on other consoles. I would also argue, to be...

The Trailblazers were sold off in September, and this was widely expected this offseason regardless of how the team finished. Allen's will dictates the money goes to charity, so its not like the current owner / executor gets anything out of the SB win. Bezos / Ballmer / Bill Gates are the...

The question for the Dolphins being how much of this is to make room for new hires for the new GM / coaches, giving them cap space to eat a trade / release of Tua, or both.

Eh, I would have liked to have seen Lyonel in action, though the show may not want to paint him in too bright a light if it gets to Aegon's reign. Honestly, the Humfreys get the raw deal - Beesbury gets, what, four words of dialogue? I get the audience is supposed to care about Baelor, but they...

If prior expansions keep their trends, judging from the roadmap https://www.lotro.com/news/lotro-letter-to-players-jan-26-en Update 47's additional Quests and Missions will add to the existing Defending Mur Ghala wrapper pool. Update 48's new zone will have a new wrapper quest, and I would...

I enjoy a good troll as much as the next guy, but 1) You have to get to the SB to lose it. 2) Not all teams have been in the league for the same amount of time, and thus haven't had the same number of opportunities to lose. 3) Win% in the SB is more relevant - The Pats being 50% is to be...

To be clear, trailers attached to other movies has become less and less of the overall marketing, with social media campaigns on stars' and directors' accounts taking more importance. The problem being that those posts tend to be insular, and if you want to reach a wider audience, you need to...

Spider-Man 4 is, just like the rest of the Tom Holland movies, released by Sony, but is a Marvel production, with at least some level of profit sharing going to Disney. But if your argument is correct, that would further suggest it is an industry-wide issue: The only Sony releases with any lead...

Actually looking at the movie release schedule, I'd argue this is more than a Mandalorian issue, this is a Disney in general issue: Did you know there's a Toy Story 5, coming out in four months? Why would you, there's no trailer. Did you know Spiderman 4 is still coming out in five months...

The bait-and-switch meta-ad has been done a thousand times. You (sorta) show the horses and the sleigh in the Budweiser style, you do the beer ad voicecover, you pan from tauntaun legs to Grogu at the reins - then smash cut to the actual trailer. Here, they... didn't bother to do the second...

Completionist or not, I would (again, for this thread) recommend his short(er) story material. vGrade mentions Edgedancer, but most of the rest of Arcanum Unbounded is worth your time, Tress of the Emerald Sea and to a lesser extent Yumi and the Nightmare Painter are charming, albeit aimed more...

My opinion hasn't changed with time: It's better than Rhythm of War, but that's not saying much. It's waaaay too long, with Adolin's chapters being basically the only high point. The ending does shake up the world in some very real ways. Some specifics are very unclear, however, and will...

Going back to before the season, the entire reason I didn't think the Patriots were a real contender (or would even make the playoffs) was their Oline. Get them a couple more Oline guys for the rotation and they could be a real contender next time around, though I doubt their path to the SB...

I had the Seahwaks up 7-10 points at Halftime, and squeaking out a win by 3-4 points after second half NE adjustments, so accurate so far.

Boston and Seattle aren't the biggest markets. Obviously there's a lot of money in Seattle and its not that far a flight to San Fran, but not a ton of it is native to Seattle. And a lot of Boston has already had all the opportunities to go to a Super Bowl they could want.

It's not 100% 1:1 with the short story - all the hanging with Lyonel stuff is new, IIRC, and it looks like we're getting flashback stuff, probably next week - but its the closest this franchise has been in years. Unfortunately, I thought this was the best out of the Dunc short stories, so yes...

Even going with West Coast teams, that's still a ~16 hour flight time each way. Again, I don't know why the NFL doesn't add another week to the schedule that's just a second bye, taking place after international/intercontinental trips (you could argue Mexico City isn't really that much of a...

Hey, the season established a... second kind of sleeper agent with the chips (we already had Institute synths) - except unlike synths, these are effectively new people post-chippage, which means they can't really engage in any subterfuge, so I'm not sure what the point is, other than pacifying...

From what I recall its much closer to the latter - the main storyline is playable to everyone, and you have access to at least the entire overworld (dungeons that aren't tied to the storyline and the pvp mode are probably blocked). However, all the side storylines will be locked, so depending on...

I got the feeling New Vegas is done - the NCR still somewhat exists, Caesar's Legion still somewhat exists (remember, canonically their power base was in the East), and House exists again and will presumably regroup with more securitron forces and be a force later on - but there's no in-show...
