Nostalgia is the only driving factor to get people into seats these days. Young people don't go to the theater except to see horror movies.

I love Stargate SG-1 (and the Stargate film), I've seen some of Atlantis and never watched Universe but I know what they're about and will watch them eventually. However, I can't really imagine another direction for this franchise.. I mean, SG-1 already used a LOT of various mythologies, then...

As I said in a previous post, the toy manufacturers have long since adapated their lines to what works. Hasbro and LEGO, the two main Star Wars stuff manufacturers, are focusing mostly on the original trilogy, a little less on the prequels, and a little on the current flavor of the month (Maul...

Season 2 trailer if you want to see what it looks like (not really any spoilers for season 1 in this, it's mostly snippets of action scenes but you'll get a taste of the art style and animation)

I couldn't find any threads about this TV series on Netflix. I watched the first season out of curiosity because I enjoyed the games (never played the dumb reboot though), and it was decent, the character of Dante was pretty much the same as the games but it was a mostly original story. I...

Title: Devil May Cry Genre: Animation, Action & Adventure, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Creator: Adi Shankar First aired: 2025-04-03 Overview: In this epic battle of good vs. evil, the lines are blurry as hell. But a devilishly handsome demon hunter could be the world's best hope for salvation.

Thus sparing us of Indiana Jones 4.

Depends on how expensive going to the theater is for you I'd say. It's not really a must-see-right-now, I liked the Mandalorian series and I wasn't particularly hyped or excited about this movie, so I could totally have waited to see it on Disney+ in 6 months or whatever. For us it was an...

A few more thoughts and remarks about the movie but some are minor spoilers so..

I can't honestly say I noticed a difference in the quality of direction between this and The Force Awakens which is JJ Abrams' best Star Wars work (not a high bar) but of course this kind of thing is probably quite subjective and I'm admittedly not some kind of cinema school graduate. To me...

Went to see it today with some friends and their kids and the wife and teenage kid. Overall everyone liked it, despite only our family having seen the TV series so it confirms that you don't really need to know much about the Mandalorian to appreciate this movie. That said, despite not having...

Probably because they realized it's impossible to dislike Karl Urban.

I got Yoshi & the Mysterious Book on Switch 2. So far it's pretty fun. Super cute and whimsy, very relaxing. I'm only like a couple of hours into it and trying to 100% the levels as I go, but there's some stuff you really have to explore and tinker with to discover some hidden mechanics or...

I firmly believe Terror died of a broken heart once he realized he'd never get to eat that Homelander turkey leg and fuck Homelander.

Yeah, it was like they couldn't make up their mind whether all sea life has some kind of hivemind. If they do, you'd think no fucking fish would ever come at Deep's call because they keep fucking dying every time he summons a creature to help him, or tries to help them. The whole "blame Deep for...

To be honest, the ending of the comics is worse than the series. The story arcs are quite different, but the jist of it is that Homelander goes insane in his lust for power in both the comics and the series but in the comics it's because he keeps receiving pictures anonymously of himself doing...

The most unintentionally funny part of the season for me was the Gen V cast humiliation that kept on going. Like after two seasons of building up Marie Moreau's importance and her powers as arguably beyond Homelander-level (resurrecting dead people, splattering the walls with Godolkin after...

That was pretty much my take as well, it was as satisfying as a one-hour episode after a season of mostly nothing happening could have been. It resolved most of the important stuff, if quite predictably. I feel this won't go down as another Game of Thrones ending.

Yes the First Order isn't quite there yet (and likely won't be mentioned at all, considering Disney is seemingly trying to soft-bury the sequels). Sigourney Weaver's character seems to still be fighting the fight despite the New Republic's demilitarization, she's still known as Colonel Ward...

At this point of the story, there is no more Rebel Alliance, this is the New Republic which very much underestimates the issues caused by the Imperial Remnant, which consists of mostly scattered and disorganized Imperial high-ranking officers turned warlords, and also Grand Admiral Thrawn...

When we watched Maul Shadow Lord recently with the family, I said half-jokingly I'd totally watch a show about some backwater planet police detective solving crimes in the Star Wars universe. It's a really huge and rich universe and background but they keep making movies about the same fucking...

That was one of my favorite "monster of the week" X-Files episodes for some reason.

Easy fix, cast Peter Dinklage as Patroclus and a regular dude as Ajax the Great.

Nolan did some cool and even great movies, but I wouldn't put Snyder and Bay in the same basket. I saw Watchmen again the other day, and I think it's great. Man of Steel was also great. 300 was great. Bay made almost nothing but shit movies after Rock.

The pipeline was endorsed by The Deep who kept saying all the fish were very happy about it because the corals growing on it provided social housing for low-income fish. When the disaster happened, the fish blamed him. It's possible all the fish that actually saw Black Noir do it died in the...

As much as I love Karl Urban in pretty much everything he's in, he's too old to play a convincing main character Johnny Cage and he can't fight either. Even Jean Claude Vandamme who inspired Johnny Cage's original character design is too old to do it now. I too was surprised that Johnny Cage...

If they want to keep introducing new characters for future Mortal Kombat films, they're already starting to run a little low on not-too-silly characters. They've established this Mortal Kombat universe as rather realistic for Earthrealm and more of a fantasy setting for the tournament, so I'm...

Some minor spoilers below. Kitana's lore was pretty much untouched from the games, if anyone deserves to kill Shao Khan it's her. Though with the introduction of necromancy (also from the games), they don't even try to hide the fact they'll just keep bringing people back whenever they get...

Saw it today with the family, it was pretty entertaining. A lot of references to the games (moves, special attacks, one of the fatalities), the character designs are pretty faithful to the recent games as well. Despite being on screen a lot, Karl Urban doesn't steal the whole show, most...

There was the dying grouper telling him "Kevin, we all know it was you" after the pipeline disaster.

Looks great, I loved Lylat Wars (European name for Starfox 64), still have the old cartridge somewhere.

FTFY.

Thankfully, the gap between ROTJ and the sequels allows for a lot of stories to happen in-between, and there's also leeway even between episodes of the original trilogy. Some of that stuff is best told in anthology format akin to the recent Tales of [insert Jedi/Sith/Underworld] to tell short...

It's very telling in current merchandising the last few years especially. Hasbro is one of the main manufacturers of Star Wars merch with small plastic figures and they release dozens of characters every year, a mix of characters from the older movies and whatever is the current Star Wars...

It was badass, and a long-awaited showdown.

Like most retcons, it's because they 1) ran out of ideas and 2) realized stuff sells (even) better with nostalgia. The most loved Resident Evil games are all in Raccoon City except RE4 which even some purists consider too much of a departure (more action oriented, no "zombies", in Spain...

That was great, enjoyed the whole season.

Not a nuke, an experimental thermobaric bomb (as of a RE3 director intereview). There's no radiation when you return to Raccoon City eventually, and the crater from the blast is much smaller than the city.
