Intentions: pick Hollow Knight back up after a few days off and try to find a direction to make progress now that I theoretically have an increased dash ability. It doesn’t seem that different... Also, some Mario/Rabbids Kingdom Battle, but it really seems to be taking its time in ramping up the challenge level. …

Gents of S.H.E. It’s like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., but all the guys survived and now they fight for feminism in honor of the fallen women of their team.

I used to really like Mack, but lately he’s the writer’s go-to for “I AM DISAPPOINT” and he’s just been a drag for far too long.

It’s kind of had that structure, though... there’s the future arc, then the back to the present, dealing with Hale and her new Hydra arc, and then the Graviton arc. It hasn’t been quite as obvious in transitions, but I think they even changed the styling of the title card for each.

I loved The Last Jedi, but I just can’t get excited for another prequel, let alone one that had a troubled production and switched directors during filming. That said, it’s good to hear that initial reactions are better than my pessmistic outlook.

The APtBS album has a limited edition two disc version available. I have no idea what’s on disc 2, though, because the package hasn’t arrived yet. I have a weird feeling it might be one super-long noise freakout, which would be... fine, actually.

Imagine you have a long bus commute to and from your two jobs, and the only grocery store within walking distance of your house is an off-brand convenience store with a shitty selection of Chef Boyardee and Swanson meals. You get home at 9:30, and you need to feed the kids and get them to bed at a reasonable time…

Hey, just one formerly poor white dude who’s received public assistance to another here, Moby needs to shut the fuck up and so do you. He shared his opinion, it was bad, and now it’s time to make jokes about how bad his opinion is.

I grew up reading comics, and I still read comics, and yeah I’ve read more Marvel than DC but it’s not exclusive by any means, and I still have NO IDEA who Steppenwolf is.

Varying aspect ratios within a movie should be limited to deliberate, linked narrative choices and weird art films, IMO. “This is a big action scene” is not a good reason. You want it for those scenes, then do the whole movie in IMAX.

I don’t have a relevant monitor to try it on, but some people make this work with an add-on app for the browser they’re streaming through. I’ve seen one for Chrome recommended, “UltraWide Video”. There’s a whole ultrawide forum on reddit where people troubleshoot this malarkey. If, you know, you’re willing to…

Those are often the same guys, though. The soldiers wearing that symbol aren’t the good guys. I’m pretty sure we’ve all seen the Mitchell and Webb “are we the baddies” skit by now, right?

The Basement Nazis have finally figured it out, they are going for the least important metric on all of Rotten Tomatoes! We’re done for!

I think the Chase/Karolina pairing is meant to be a bit of a mislead and a hook for later drama. She’s curious about her own nature in many ways, relates to Chase, and trusts him because he rescued her and didn’t try to parlay that into an opportunity of his own. She doesn’t have any close friends, so any bond is a…

Considering the role of the Warriors Three in this one, I think she’s better off being elsewhere for the duration.
