They released a clip of Prince Ali and it's a train wreck. It lacks all life and personality and they went full retard with lyric changes.

Well the whole schtick of the epic has been about subverting narrative expectations so no reason why this wouldn't extend all the way to long arcs.

I am eager to hear more about this spinoff. I know I shouldnt get my hopes up, but 5000 years ago is right at the start of all the Valyrian / Andals / Children of the Forest / Old Ghis / etc. things that seem so much more high fantasy. I would very much like to see a fantasy show about...

They shipped over the legion that had been earmarked for downsizing after a particularly troublesome quarter. Hence 'no elephants'.

Yet I would pay serious money for an outtake of Conleth Hill saying exactly that.

I just hope we manage to avoid a "5 years later..." type of shift part way into the episode

Take a 3D tour of the massive King’s Landing set They really did a great job with the filming of this episode in terms of making use of that set to really convey a lot going on. Its certainly not a small set but its far smaller than you might think from how much it was used. Impressive also...

Dalaran is perfection. When I first stepped into it I knew it was going to be hard to ever top and I was right. Hell they ended up re-using it in Legion because it is so damn perfect from a gameplay standpoint.

"Game Of Thrones" Season 8, Episode 5 Was Really, Really Bad And People Are Upset It seems like a lot of people are really angry that this didn't turn out like the fairytale they wanted it to be. I'm not saying the writing is stellar by any means, but it seems clear that people saw what they...

Think of it as an advanced magical plasma beam that is so intense that it just happens to ignite the oxygen in the air around it so it looks like he's "breathing fire" AKA Godzilla Physics

To be fair Borallus has a terrible design as well, they just gave up on it and shoved everything you would expect to see in a city on the docks and called it a day. The rest of the city is pretty freaking huge and largely wasted.

Of the seven kingdoms really only Dorne is left in a state where its reasonably okay. The North got fucked by ice zombies, the Iron Islands got triple or quadruple fucked by infighting, the Riverlands got ravaged several times during the course of all the wars, the stormlands got wrecked by...

In rewatching the scene where the bells sound the surrender I think I understand a bit more of how they envisioned the character motivation. Note that Dany looks angry as she's sitting on Drogon's back after having blasted a ton of shit but once the bells start to ring she gets REALLY pissed...

In retrospect they should have just let her have the coffee...

Dany has been headed in this direction for awhile. She did raise a good point about how the people fo Kings Landing, unlike the other cities she liberated, didn't really do much to take on Cersei even after she blew up the Sept of Baelor etc. Much of this is on Bran who set all this up with...

Well. The cinematography was excellent as were the choices for very in-the-thick-of-it points of view. If you are going to have the city blown the fuck up, that's the way to do it. There still seemed to be a decent quantity of wildfire tucked away around the city judging by the burst of...

They are never going to stop fucking with FitzSimmons...

Fan film space battle. Not half bad, especially gets my vote because of the end shot (my favorite ship)

I expect tonight's episode will be batshit crazy on at least some level. Taking bets on just how bonkers it will be. Might have a bingo card for viewing party.

It was a super fun game at launch but I eventually got to the point where I couldn't move forward in the storyline. I'll have to start over now, it's been long enough and my memory is Swiss cheesed enough that I should have fun.

You know what? He may be a Bond Villain but I trust Bezos to get shit done far more than I trust any government (with the possible exception of China). Nothing he is proposing is radical from a technology or invention standpoint, but its been completely out of reach of NASA and ESA due to how...

Yeah I dunno about the rest of you but as I read DoD I kept saying "who the fuck cares? Get on with it!" at every other chapter.

This comes back tonight!

I had forgotten about her. Yeah the council cameos were top notch. I suppose Taika and Jermaine can pretty much speed-dial whatever they want these days.

I had totally forgotten this....

Saw that Cengage and McGraw-Hill are now merging. US education groups McGraw-Hill and Cengage announce an all-stock merger Looked at the financials and it would seem that Cengage is treading water which is amazing in that industry as everyone else is sinking like a rock. I'm using a Cengage...

Well there might have been at one point, but the books now are (besides late) so chock full of characters that I doubt they even have time for the Song of Ice and Fire part of the story.

The uptick in magic level was a huge part of the novels (where the red comet has been seen much more than the 15 second or so we saw it in season 3 or whatever) and with that some flavor of 'its a new age' type of crossroads added to the epic nature of the story. After all without all the...

Tencent’s new alternative to PUBG is already topping the revenue chart – TechCrunch Oh China you so crazy

So the raid will drop GS 500 items? Well what the hell. I suppose the raid will have the new set which may be nice enough as a GS 500 to warrant using over the existing stuff and/or some more ideally min/maxed items but overall that seems like a weaksauce cop out if the raid is at all challenging.

I am starting to wonder if we will actually get a real ending. There needs to be the sort of 'aint no coming back from this' sort of ending that cements things in place versus just being the status quo until some other claimant to the throne / whatever comes along. Irrespective of the whole...

Note that the release schedule solidifies the shift in the start of the Summer Movie season. For the longest time it was Memorial Day that kicked things off and then it ran to Labor Day. In more recent years we've seen big blockbusters released earlier and earlier until now we see that May 1st...

For more Matt Berry fun check out IT Crowd seasons 2+ or the aforementioned Garth Marenghis Dark Place. The former is on Netflix, the latter only you tube piracy.

This really was quite exceptional. I'm impressed by what they did with this.

I'd actually be more forgving if Qyburn had used some magic in making the things as the world is really really low fantasy when it comes to magical stuff.

Disney's commitment to the Avatar pentad is commendable given that no one fucking cares about Avatar at this point. Seriously Avatar 2 will have to be the second coming of amazing 3D and cinematic bliss in order for people to have any desire to go see it.

That was very much a 'fuck, who needs gunpowder / cannons??' moment. I guess also Qyburn should be thought of as the smartest man in Westeros given the various magical and engineering miracles he's performed.

Renewed! Yay!

They also could be doing that 'always darkest before the dawn' redemption arc where the hero is sorely tempted to compromise their moral center but manages to rekindle their spirit or whatever at the end.

Sony is not dumb. They have their wagon hooked to the MCU gravy train and aren't about to endanger that sort of lucre flowing their way. Disney is in the driver's seat here from a revenue point of view but they really need Spiderman to flesh out the narrative portion now that Iron Man and Cap...
