Bad movie, but Ramin Djwadi did his usual thing and the soundtrack fits in with a Game of Thrones playlist, along with the Warcraft soundtrack.

I laughed when Indiana Jones: The Dial of Destiny had the fully expected and inevitable Wilhelm about 30 seconds into the movie, like, “you’re here for it and we gave it to you, now settle down and watch the movie.”

This weekend Spotify threw a Westworld track into my mix and I thought it’d be cool to re-watch that excellent first season. Then I remembered.

At the start of Regarding Henry, there is a cocktail party where like three separate guys have Donald Trump’s exact haircut. I barely made it through the rest of the movie.

I would love to get more details here - shirtless male models? Black and white photos?

Here in Northern California the opinion on Dutch Bros is interesting - suburban and especially rural folks I know are rabid about the place, but if you live in the urban core you barely even know they exist. Their business model is entirely drive-up and it shows.

I don’t know why a technology site is slandering video game controllers alongside the rest of the media. I can make Link move one step at a time by shifting the control stick less than a millimeter, and I’d trust the proven tech more than some custom control yoke ginned up and purpose-built. If they had used a…

There’s an old meme that says, “Because Speed Force, that’s why” to say that it’s a blanket explanation for everything that doesn’t make sense around The Flash. Because nothing makes sense.

Check the other Star Wars story on the iO9 frontpage. There’s a new, post-Sequel movie coming someday, though it got delayed.

I tried playing Star Wars RPG with someone once and I specifically told them we’re doing a no-Force PC campaign. They quit because that wasn’t their power fantasy. The SW universe is rich with stories that have nothing to do with Jedi and light sabers, but some people just have to have their space wizards.

I’m in Northern California and I’ve experienced 400. It sucks so bad. I could look down my street and see the air moving for all the stuff in the air. I bet you don’t have a good air filter available to purchase, but instead buy 5 furnace filters and make a cube, then attach a box fan to the last side, exhausting…

Add to it that a solid half of the trans people I know have that haircut. Not a giant sample size but hey.

Having worked in the paint department of a home improvement store, I’m curious about what kind of paint is used on movie sets that it couldn’t just be mixed in batches to make the right color.

I saw it last night and I feel like I’m going to have to go through it like the Zapruder film to really get all of the references. 

I have no idea how release dates work these days because it is definitely not June 2 today, and yet I have two tickets for 7 PM tonight. No problem for me I’m pumped.

I’ve given FreeVee a ton of traffic lately - I was looking for Murder She Wrote out of curiosity and now I watch all sorts of old shows.

Hulu was going to be the one-stop location for all the broadcast networks’ shows. I had visions of an internet library of TV with everything that ever was available to watch on demand. The way the last decade of internet entertainment ended up bums me out.

I thought so. I will be first to admit I know nothing - I remember feeling that cameras on phones were dumb a couple decades ago. Folding phones seem to be in need of a useful function. I guess I’ll just plan on buying a folding phone in a couple years because they became essential in some way that I can’t comprehend…

dndbeyond has NPC statblocks for everyone available to ‘claim’, which I assume means you need an account. As NPCs, they all have weird quirks that don’t fit PC character traits - Doric’s has text saying she can shape change 5/day, into a CR 3 creature OR an owlbear.

There’s a lot of history in the Bulette. Pronounced byew-lett, because someone made a joke once to annoy French-speakers. Created originally because Gygax got a pack of plastic toys depicting ‘prehistoric monsters’ and basically none of them looked like real prehistoric animals. That’s where the owlbear came from as…
