The whole movie was, supposedly, based on the director's (Dan Scanlon) relationship with his brother after his father died when he was very young. So the core story about the younger brother seeing the older as his surrogate 'dad' was the story he wanted to tell. The setting and all the...

There also seemed to be a side plot about the magical creatures restoring themselves after being exposed to the magic staff. This wasn't fully developed though and I'm not sure if it was something that was meant to bigger and got cut down or what.

Premise of movie : Being a wizard is hard so we started using electricity and gas. Protagonist: Goes from level 1 to level 18 and is able to reshape reality in a single day.

It was decent. I feel large parts of the plot were telegraphed a bit much, but that was okay. Loads of little Easter eggs hidden in the background.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/16/816707182/map-tracking-the-spread-of-the-coronavirus-in-the-u-s That graphic, at first glance, doesn't seem to show much of a difference in growth rates for the states that have locked everyone inside vs those which had partying on the beach...

Am I misremembering or did Avery Brooks always say "I'm not black, I'm brown"?

Well you are forgetting that all Romulans are now gymnast-level ninja assassins.

I liked it. There was a bit of the 'oh c'mon how dumb are you??' bits here and there, but it was a nice update to the property as a whole. I'm also a big fan of Oliver Jackson-Cohen so that helped.

Fiance also was at WB Mason and was giving walking papers yesterday. This wasn't a 'we are furloughing people for the duration...' sort of thing , it was full on severance + PTO payout. I guess they had been wanting to do a total restructuring of the company for awhile and saw this as the best...

This is the sort of positive news I really needed right now.

As was forseen... But why announce the Disney+ release now? Who the hell is not just waiting until April 3rd?

She's a Perceptor (what Harvard calls their adjuncts because Harvard). I was most shocked by the seafood business until they reminded me that all their fish is sourced from Canada and elsewhere and is no longer coming in. You would think they could find a way to pivot and make use of locally...

In the past 72 hours the following people I know have let it be known they have been laid off: Retail. Customer service. Optometrist. Lawyer. Production Designer. Teacher. Seafood Importer. Accountant. Cameraman. Surveyor/GIS analyst. Dentist. Office Products Distributor. Insurance adjuster...

I thought for most of the season I was watching Battlestar Galactica, but it turns out its actually Mass Effect

Seems like a cool Dungeon Keeper successor. I've not played any of this series, but just from the tutorials it seems like it's worth it at this low price point as a fun distraction.

I forsee sales for this being through the fucking roof. A little slice of stability is extremely compelling right now.

In theory the ace inhibitor is there to bring you to parity with non hypertensive folks yes? If there is overshoot and the ace level is inhibited well past that of baseline then I could see how that presented a risk. Then again hypertension is its own risk. Significant other (germaphobe and...

Amusingly Universal announced this afternoon that they are doing just that. Invisible Man, Emma, and the Hunt are available to rent digital as of this Friday and the second Trolls movie will be available the same day as it's theatrical release in April.

There is a point in the opening act where we see Finn, Poe and Chewie on an adventure together (and then again later plus Rey) where you can't help but think: "Damnit, I want to see more of their non-world-ending adventures". I really do hope that we get an animated series set after TLJ that...

They need to pull the rip cord and toss this to digital ASAP. Aint nobody taking their kids to a movie theater in the midst of this. If they switched to Digital delivery they could at least benefit from the current marketing.

Here's the full text of the MA decree:

I quite like the 'chapter' structure for the stories that have a static plot. You get a strong core narrative plus the random events that shape the characters in interesting ways + you see the characters get older and eventually retire. The Legacy stuff is also nice in that you can recruit...

The Bad Batch arc was quite good. Lots of really dynamic 'camera work' that showcases just how much better at overall cinematography they've gotten. Id like to think that, as rejects, they never got the chip and also managed to survive past the Clone Wars.

Well how about this then...

I really like Cristobal Rios and the holograms. I didn't even realize that the actor was the artist/painter dude from Heroes.

This is available for streaming now, a few days ahead of its original schedule owing to Coronavirus (and trying to capitalize on people stuck at home)

This is on Disney+ this Sunday, 3 months ahead of schedule. Disney is trying to make people feel less stressed in this troubling time by having kids drive their parents mad with looped musicals.

Picked this up on a lark and I am quite surprised by how dynamic and fun it is. It has tactical battles like an OgreBattle or Xcom, but has an overarching storyline like Fable mixed with a legacy style boardgame.

The test itself that has been developed in the U.S. is like something out of a victorian novel. Its incredibly labor intensive as a very precise but arcane series of chemicals are applied to the sample and nearly all the work is done by hand. A good technician can, apparently, only process...

Delayed again, this time due to COVID-19. They just need to stop trying to release this thing.

It's a weird take on the digital toy idea space.

I guess this is Tabletop...

Damn. I am looking for a COVID game to play and this seemed very appropriate. I guess I can look at the backlog?

Thinking back I think this is my favorite game of the current Generation. I was not expecting this at all, but there you go.

Renewed for a 3rd, and final, season.

Oh so they are actually working on a MMORPG afterall? Cool cool cool...

That was the fun of the original movies and even the prequels. We were seeing specific episodes in the story but there was so much room for peoples imagination to run wild between those tentpoles. TLJ was TFA part 2 and that crippled any possibility of broader character or plot development...

Finally saw this on digital and it was...okay. The songs were nice and I liked that Kristof got an 80s power ballad to sing, but the plotline was more than a little contrived and there was too much Olaf. He needed to be dialed back about 50% and Kristof needed his own secondary plot other...

Note: using a controller for this is almost mandatory. I finally switched when i realized I needed to remap the party key and noticed the controller setup. Big difference in quality of life, for me anyway.

It's "One Million Moms" aka the 50 or 60 sandy vagina'd cunts who also freak out if the word 'shit' is used on a Disney Channel show.
