Just a reminder, the 2025 Vikings went 9-8 (although the Packers rested everyone in the finale). The NFC North is anyone's game.

I don't believe the MCU has said if Heaven exists. Thor: Love and Thunder definitively said Valhalla exists in the MCU.

So it'll be 17 years between the Ferrara / Harvey Keitel original (NY) and the Herzog / Cage New Orleans, and 17 years between that and this Miike / Oguri Tokyo entry? Bad Lieutenant is not the first 'franchise' that comes to mind for once-a-generation entries.

Oh yeah, since you mentioned magnetic fields, in case you didn't know, the Earth's magnetic field (which direction is magnetic north) has flipped hundreds of times - Geomagnetic reversal - Wikipedia - though the effect is probably caused by the outer liquid core, not the solid center. We're...

Yes, the book explains that Erid's atmosphere and magnetic field are thick / strong enough that no radiation, including light, gets to the surface, hence why his species is blind. Rocky's ship is basically the first extra-planetary vessel the Eridians made period. Presumably (though the book...

Lots of contracts have 'Conduct Unbecoming' language that allows that person to be suspended, fired, or at least have their pay diminished if they do anything illegal (or even just embarrassing). Personally, I say heavy, continuous drinking is a perfectly rational response to being in Milwaukee.

There have been rumors of pitches for exactly that for years, but afaik Gale and Zemeckis have decreed no one is remaking it while they're alive. They're both ~75, so it is not impossible someone more amenable could inherit the rights in the next half decade, I dont think Holland can pass as a...

To be fair to theaters, just about everything else in July flopped hard. Supergirl, despite having action movies to itself for multiple weeks, was rejected immediately and completely. Moana and Minions, despite getting over $100Million each, didn't hit half of expectations. Evil Dead Burn had a...

Might have been with the key? I will say that contrary to my worries before the film, I do like that 'The Power Of Love' between MJ and Peter doesn't overpower the memory wipe spell; that said, I can't shake the feeling that we're getting the Alt-Gamora plotline that Gunn's separation from...

Let's be honest, the entire conversation is going to be about one character. I think everyone on earth already knows who that character and actor is, but to keep it vague: I think it's weird to reboot that character before the very next Marvel product brings all their original cast back. I...

Apparently they hadn't even started work on Season 2 yet. I also have to assume Disney figured Cretton's giant check for the points on Spider-Man 4 would cover any hurt feelings.

Yep, the positive side of multuverses is you can get nostalgia bumps whenever you want by bringing back character x. The much, much larger downside is that you remove all stakes because there are an ininite number of replacement characters from universes identical to yours other than some guy...

Considering that game is one of the major deciders in who gets the #1 pick, A LOT of people will care about the outcome (not the game itself, mind you).

Cage's love interest in 07's Ghost Rider... was Eva Mendes. Ryan's Gosling's real-life wife... is Eva Mendes. Weird. Maybe Gosling can get Leitch or Stahelski involved and play up the stuntman part of Johnny Blaze.

Yeah, as someone with an LG monitor I was annoyed with both LG and Microsoft for forcibly installing / allowing to be installed and running an advertising app without my authorization, because, what, an LG driver was on my computer? Not cool

Just a reminder, The Electric State on Netflix was direct by the Russos, with a script by Stephen McFeely... just like Doomsday. I've loved the Russos for years for Arrested Development, Community, etc., but there's a limit to the hole they can dig themselves out of. Otherwise, this looks just...

It's my understanding the hour requirements for edutainment were the biggest killer - stations didn't any hours left for 'for-profit' kids shows. Especially when most consumers had basic cable with a ton of kid networks (Disney, Nickelodeon, etc.) by that point.

Not sure I believe that. To be fair, it was weird that the sequel was delayed _15_ months out. A lot of movies reshoot half their material in that time - it is difficult to believe WB knew this was unfixable in that original timeframe, and that also only four extra months would fix everything...

Forget post-credit scenes, it is telling about the state of the MCU that people are forgetting / didn't see that a Professor X was killed off in the middle of Doctor Strange 2, or that large chunks of Deadpool 3 take place in a world from the Loki TV series. Real World explanation: Disney...

Let's be honest here, ME1 was KOTOR but with a (slightly more militarized) Star Trek wrapper instead of Star Wars. Which meant it was still just Baldur's Gate 1 under the hood. ME2 was a (then modern) cover shooter with biotic (magic) grenades with some 'exploration' elements awkwardly bolted...

Yeah, I have no idea where the box office ends up. It's worth reminding people that Dunkirk - an event in living memory for some, involving countries (France / England) bigger than Greece, compared to The Odyssey, 'merely' did $190M dom / $550M WW. Then again, The Odyssey has far bigger star...

I am not a lawyer, but the lawsuit not only makes no sense, but has outside evidence invalidating it: 1. The argument is essentially that HBM production has raised consumer DRAM prices to the point that _somebody_ should have swapped back to consumer DRAM. A) It provides no _actual_ evidence...

Yeah, the complete radio silence screams "Get it out the door and hope people buy tickets before the reviews are out!" It almost feels like Disney is trying to manufacture reasons for it to fail - releasing it Back-To-Back after better family options in Toy Story and Minions, and almost...

Spider-Man release date: 7/31 Supergirl digital date: 7/28 Suuuuuuuure, any Supergirl drop off from 7/31 on is just due to the digital release, /wink. Though to be fair, when 4th of July falls on a weekend, it is pretty brutal for theaters across the board; the latest Minions movie, despite...

Again, the question isn't how do you _launch_ a cinematic universe, it's what the hell do you do when you already have one running, and your corporate overlords demand you keep putting out product without delay? Just to remind people, Aquaman and The Flash had movies release _AFTER_ Gunn was...

As many articles mention, rumors to that effect have been floating around for months. I doubt they're 100% accurate, not only because of reshoots, but because that outline sounds boring as hell - there's only three main action set pieces worth describing (Wolvy / Deadpool vs Spidey, X-Men vs...

I mentioned it a while back, but I think it will have better legs than people think*, just because other than The Odyssey, there aren't any other action options until Spider-Man in 30 days. If you're bored and want to get out of the heat (especially with the holiday weekend), this is...

Lots of orgs look at the bail amount as a yardstick for the validity (not guilt, but validity) of the case. Clearly the Lions saw that amount (and the findings brought in for the bail hearing) and decided they may as well separate now.

Remember that theaters themselves take a significant chunk of ticket sales (50%+ internationally, domestically 20+% the first two weeks and 50%+ the rest of the time). It doesn't matter if everyone other than Momoa was paid peanuts, even if the thing only had a $290M budget / promo, they would...

Yeah, it really seems like Variety admitting that not only is the Paramount / WB deal going to happen, but that Gunn (and likely the DCU) is done when Man of Tomorrow leaves theaters (no point in torpedoing the box office with an early announcement).

As long as "AI" chips are on the same process node as current GPUs and have higher profit margins, Nvidia has no incentive to prioritize GPU production. Hell, they can be sued by their own stockholders for not engaging in a strategy that maximizes profits. It's not like Nvidia needs to worry...

Don't read Iain Banks' Feersum Endjinn. It's basically phonetic, but hammers home how much of English isn't. Like the old joke goes, English is really three languages in a trench coat (German, French, and Greek).

Component prices are hideous, but even taking that into account, this seems underwhelming. Obviously a lot of techies will be building SteamOS rigs with their old parts (since they're not playing with new parts), but even with, say, twice the memory (both system and video), would the retail...

Yeah, Exodus came up in the Secret Level TV show thread, as one of the episodes was for Exodus: Secret Level It's not just a Mass Effect type game, it was / is being made with many of the original Mass Effect crew. Ironically, I just finished the sequel and to be blunt it doesn't make the...

We're also discounting the scenario that WB's people know this movie is unlikely to be a success, and are happy to be able to blame "Alcock's divisive press comments" in a few weeks time.

1) I'd point out that no one other than Alcock is saying this stuff. This isn't a studio press strategy, this is just Alcock shooting off her mouth. 2) The movie hasn't even come out yet, so "again" couldn't have happened yet. Note that Zegler isn't getting any major roles, and despite a years...

Sony has said they aren't making any more Spider-Man adjacent movies (Venoms and such), but they still retain the rights. Not only would they take Marvel over a barrel to sell them back, they'd need the rights for the Spider-Verse movies in any case. Which isn't to say Sony couldn't sell/lend...

Not to self-quote, but that didn't take long. Again, this is all coming across as very Mysterio-like unreliable narration. Maybe the implementation will be different enough to keep my interest, but so far this is all coming across as reheated leftovers. Edit: Actually, just like Far From Home...

I'm unconvinced alien technology would shake anyone - we're pretty good at incorporating new tech into our lives. Case in point, less than a decade ago when I told my then preteen niece and nephew the internet basically didn't exist when I was their age, they literally did not believe me. The...
