Dick Butkus is still out there. He could play their irascible grandfather.

Yes, but it seems less likely that they want to fuck ‘em.

Anthropomorphizing a friendship is beneficial, but anthropomorphizing sexual attraction, less so.

In production-speak, “theatrical” sometimes refers to formatting. Which is not to say that they won’t recieve some form of theatrical release, but the mere use of the term is not enough to derive meaning.

Checking between a couple videos, they have a few modular lines in there. It seems like sometimes it doesn’t launch properly the first time (or there’s some delay in launch), at which point they have additional recorded lines after the “here goes something” including stuff like, “okay, lots of people are out there…

It’s also possibly that Oda’s understanding is rooted in Japanese culture, which has its own approaches and views regarding LGBTQ+ subjects... not all of which are healthy, but the point is that this is a Japanese artist creating for a Japanese audience, with Western audiences and their cultural concerns secondary at…

Why don’t we have both?

Seriously, other mangaka have been taking much longer breaks lately, particularly when approaching their final arcs.

And that’s a good thing! The pace of a weekly mangaka is grueling, particularly for the success stories, and if letting them take a month off periodically keeps them from collapsing with exhaustion and…

Can it be said to have ended when there’s still no closure between Musashi and Kojiro? If he’s not going to do Ganryu Island, it’s hard to say this adaptation of Eiji Yoshikawa’s story is complete.

I’m not gucci with the ending of Vagabond at all, not if that ending remains unpublished alongside the larger series.

It’s this, or nothing.

I’m not familiar with the works of Kouji Mori, but I’ll believe in the people who believe in him, and look forward to the work to come. I’d much rather that someone try to do something to finish the story of Guts and Casca and Griffith and everything that Miura was building up towards... leaving…

Brandon never spent time directly with Jordan, he was picked by Jordan’s widow and editor Harriet after the fact. He was able to work closely with Harriet (who arguably knew Jordan better than anyone), and he had all the notes and written chapters of the unfinished work, but he was not lucky enough to be close with…

Thank you!!

Her character is also, at best, ~22 (presuming she was one of those younglings in the first scene of the first episode, which seems very likely), and has been part of a gang of ruthless, power-hungry, traumatized space wizards for the last decade (now that I think of it, if she was captured as a youngling then by now s…

Beyond that, if she doesn’t see him again after this adventure then she’s talking to the hero that rescued her when she was a little girl, who she no doubt has idolized but over time she wonders if he’ll remember her. But he was her father’s friend then, and so she leans on that relationship rather than her own, when…

But what is a “pyrotechnic-type seat belt pretensioner”? What does it do, why is it in there, and why does it need to be explosive in some way?

The same ones that fantasize about doing it themselves, presumably.

In the gameplay video, Red Hood takes out a fleeing van full of criminals by crashing it in the middle of the street, and when he’s done beating up all the bad guys you get a CRIME SOLVED popup, and all I could think was that he was leaving a massive mess in the middle of a public road, with criminals just laying…

Exactly, but what I mean to say is that it’s expanding far beyond the Disney lot and becoming more common practice in other productions. And I suspect in places where people don’t expect it, it won’t always be sci-fi and fantasy shoots.

A lot of people think of Unreal as a “video game engine” and they need to think…

This isn’t about games anymore. VFX for film and television, artificial environments for green room shoots and LED walls, that’s where this is going.

Perhaps it’s a generational thing... I feel like it was at some point around the third Austin Powers movie that I thought, “I’m kinda done with this stuff” and then lo and behold, this stuff was kinda done.
