The best thing the second movie had going for it was Thandie Newton and the third was slightly better.

INTERMISSION!!!

Bahahahahahahhaa. It has chapters! At this rate, they should add an overture and entr’acte just in case some of the fans are not yet satisfied that this thing is packaged as Cinema. I want to see Batman saying the f-word as he steps over a dead body while Sarabande plays behind him in a stately tracking shot.

She didn’t.

Well, it looks like this game has achieved Star Wars Lesbian Kiss levels of inclusion. If they try a little harder, maybe they can achieve Endgame Lady Tableau levels of inclusion by release.

I know I will get hate for this. Why does someone believing differently than you make them hateful. I don’t agree with them, I was raised reading the same bible and learned you are supposed to spread the word of God through love, compassion, and self sacrifice. Also he with no sin cast the first stone.

It looks like the franchise managers have turned a corner. For the past eight years, they’ve worried that Colonial Marines would sink a new Aliens shooter sight unseen. Now they’re probably counting on every single review, preview, or blog post to snarkily praise their game in comparison to Colonial Marines, even if…

How much of that hour is end credits? WandaVision... I’m looking at you.

In fairness, that shot is pretty standard epic vista stuff. I bet you can find the same basic camera movement in plenty of open-world trailers.

Blade - Wesley Snipes kicks ass as the daywalker Blade in the 1998 comic book adaptation that spawned a full franchise...with a new version on the way from Marvel.

Alas, this level of depressing corporate synergy was ahead of its time.

When I was in graduate school, in the 00s, Buffy was a formative show for some ridiculous number of the people around me. And virtually no one took Whedon’s self-styled feminism very seriously. Each interview set off a wave of forgiving eyerolls and genial shrugs.

First they cancel Ink Master and now they want my money for Star Trek? Bahahahahahahhahahaha [breath]ahahahahahahahhaha

I would have loved to see some of these mechanics in a story-intensive single-player campaign. The service model of grind-focused forever games is enough to reduce almost any game design to banality.

I’ll add that one issue these days is that this doesn’t seem to be reciprocal: MCU fans express a lot of contempt for highbrow shit.

The original version of this post misstated that the film would be in black and white. Snyder’s original rough cut was in black and white but the final version will not be.

Oh holy shit, I’m dying. 

If this nonsense attracts any kind of audience, it’s time for HBOmax to give Alejandro Jodorowsky a call. “Listen, we already have a Dune movie coming out, but how would you like to do some reshoots?”

But what badly misappropriated Leonard Cohen song would they fuck to?

I...don’t get what’s wrong with Kourtney’s handwriting.
