Find them where?

It’s been their thing so often that maybe it’s less about budget and more about Obsidian being too ambitious for their own good and/or not efficient enough. I mean, how many times do they need to release games with obvious holes in before they learn what they’re capable of producing with the time and money they have…

I look forward to all the whining about the graphics having been downgraded.

I will happily recommend Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas. Those are great and ambitious movies.

Yeah, Twin Peaks’ problem was not that it solved Laura Palmer’s murder; it was that it didn’t have another compelling central mystery to replace it with. The Windom Earle stuff wasn’t bad once it got going, but the show farted around for far too long before that happened and it lost all momentum as a result.

“where is the Israelian death count?”

It was a limited run series that I believe he had already finished writing. They published the tail end of it, perhaps in part not to screw over his collaborators who weren’t at fault. The same thing with Castlevania — the upcoming season was already written.

I think the Galanthi mission will be shown in full next week, which leaves me with two theories for what happened here:

To be fair, they didn’t cast Guy Pearce in that role. He only stepped in last minute when the original actor had a scheduling conflict or something. So perhaps the question you should be asking is, do you cast Ben Miles to have a couple scenes as a tertiary love interest? And I suspect the answer to that is “quite…

I may be misremembering and/or getting mixed up with something else, but isn’t Gunn’s Dawn of the Dead script supposed to be full of humour that Snyder either cut or somehow didn’t realise was supposed to be funny and so played it completely straight? I can certainly imagine a zombie baby being darkly laugh-out-loud in…

To be fair, he didn’t exactly come out of that fall unscathed. He broke his back and ever since has been unable to walk without leg braces. Admittedly, those braces are fancy Stark tech, and as such seem to be only a minor inconvenience, but it still shows that even in this fantasy world there are limits to what a…

This is one of those cases where the parenthetical would not be at all illuminating (“Non-Fungible Token”, for what it’s worth). Which is not to say there couldn’t have been more explanation, but you’re probably talking a full paragraph to explain what it is, and another to explain why NFTs are bad as well as stupid.

Whedon had no excuse for not getting it: The core of what made the MCU version of Steve Rogers such a compelling character [...] was explicitly established in Captain America: The First Avenger.

I think his assholery is way out of proportion with the wrongs he was supposedly done. His racism claims have all been indirect hearsay, and even if accurate only reach the level of bungled attempts at avoiding stereotypes — sure, they need to get more diverse voices around the table and do better, but nothing he’s…

It jumped up a level before Elias. “Cura Te Ipsum”, with Linda Cardellini, was the one that made me sit up and pay attention. I mean, it was episode 4 of your basic crime-procedural-with-a-slight-twist, and the climax involved the hero sitting down with the villain of the week and calmly contemplating whether or not t…

You really think there’s insight to be gained? Explanation, absolutely, but if the version we got is anything to go on, none of it would make a lick of sense anyway. I mean, it wasn’t dumb because it was missing connective tissue, it was just dumb.

It’s not that there’s too much, it’s that Snyder is terrible at the mechanics of plotting and pacing. It’s no accident that his best work consists of remakes and direct adaptations where that stuff has mostly been done for him.

Darcy tells Vision that it’s been a week. That’s during the sixth and final sitcom era.

Here in Britain it seemed to be pretty well liked (haven’t watched it myself). But people turned against it hard this season, so it’s slightly strange to see it win.

Vision was her best friend — pretty much her only friend in fact. Maybe Hawkeye, but he retired while she spent the last couple years on the run with Cap’s splinter Avengers, and then he lost his whole family and is presumably somewhat preoccupied with having them back.
