You know that AV Club and io9 are now owned by totally different companies and have no shared editorial, right (why AV Club hasn’t gotten rid of Kinja yet, I don’t know)?

Could Louis and Claudia not come up with a more believable vampire name than…Bruce?
I’m only two episodes in and I can’t figure out who was recast.
For years I’ve had a version of an adaptation in my head that was stop motion, sort of ‘Creature Comforts’ style with a lot of ‘confessional booth talking directly to the camera’ stuff, which feels like the only way to handle the amount of interior monologue, and some of the other anachronisms.
It makes its ending, which aims to evoke the shock twist of the 1968 film, land with a thud
This one was originally written as a new reboot of the franchise
I just finished Season 1 last night, and I think the fourth episode is where it really becomes clear that Beacon 23 is more of an anthology series all set in the same location with some recurring characters than it is a true serial.
Not pure Niven (and arguably not unfilmable), but I’d love to see adaptations of The Mote in God’s Eye and The Gripping Hand.
This was going to be my suggestion. Though I think a Zones of Thought adaptation would probably have to start with A Deepness in the Sky. A Fire Upon the Deep really throws you in the deep end with the concepts right from the beginning.

He said it was ‘English Rabbit Stew’ (where he got a rabbit I don’t know). Given the earlier scene where Fuji is instructing people to get Blackthorne his own knives, and to make sure the food he prepares doesn’t touch any of their cooking surfaces I think they’re just trying to show that he’s a terrible cook who uses…
It’s not a hardware issue, it’s a software issue. The PSVR was pretty much a big Playstation Move hack. Everything ran through the Playstation Move APIs.
IIRC the context of that quote was talking about streaming residuals. Once upon a time before the days of streaming, even non-super star actors who were part of the main cast of a hit show could count on residuals to cover expenses between seasons, so they didn’t have to worry about needing to line up another job…
Who the fuck is still watching this asshole?
Nintendo doesn’t employ scrubbers to constantly search for copyright infringement. We’ve seen time and time and time again that it’s not until something Nintendo related gets coverage on mainstream video game news sites that Nintendo takes action (often in less than 24 hours). It’s happened with every single fan…
They haven’t gone after Ryujinx because it has never penetrated the mainstream. I guarantee that if Kotaku/Eurogamer/Polygon/whomever ran a ‘Good news everyone! Switch emulation isn’t dead, you can use Ryujinx!’ story tomorrow, it’d be at most a week after that for RyuJinx to get a C&D and a DMCA takedown on their…
So is Kotaku going to acknowledge their role in this, and shift their editorial stance regarding running stories about emulation, in particular emulating pirated games? I recall ‘Tears of the Kingdom runs great on Yuzu even before it’s been released on Switch’ being front page news here.
Lawmower Man the movie is kind of a stealth sequel to Firestarter, but I guess they didn’t have the rights to Firestarter, so they dug around to figure out what King story they DID have the rights to, and found Lawnmower Man.
Well, they were clearly not just in development but in production well before United Artists/MGM’s claim on the copyright would have expired and allowed for Hill’s claim for reassignment to be valid.
Hang on, aren’t these sorts of rights reversions usually contingent on whether something is in development using the rights, not necessarily completed? Seems weird that Road House, of all things, would be an exception to that general rule.
