I read a pitch for the Black Adam film somewhere: it starts off as a Rock vehicle where he’s supposedly the hero, only for Shazam to appear midway through to fight him and thus reveal that Adam is actually the bad guy.

I think the biggest impact, apart from superhero fatigue, is that we all know that the DC films are getting a reboot so people just don’t give a fuck. I really liked the first Shazam! and it’s pretty much the only DCEU movie I even liked, but I imagine it’s getting the axe in whatever Gunn’s new vision is so I’m in no…

Typical Sisi Jiang piece, I’m afraid.

She’s very funny in Strikers where she gets more screentime. She gets the best line of the game too when the Thieves reject Zenkichi’s initial offer of help, telling him in a cheery voice that “we despise the police”.

I’m fucking crushed. Reddick was brilliant, one of my favorite actors and a welcome presence in everything. It’s good we still have performances of his to look forward to, like John Wick 4 or the upcoming roguelite Hellboy game. But it’s fucked up that he’s gone.

I am fucking gutted. Reddick’s one of my favorite actors, he had an unmistakeable presence and it was awesome to discover the warmth he exuded on social media. Fucking terrible, I hope his family and his dogs are doing okay.

I’m not a fan of The Stripes at all but Meg’s drumming was a part of its charm, on top of the fact that Jack’s guitar was very much in the same simplistic vein and by design. It’s just that when a guitar sounds murky it’s easier for folks to forgive that.

People aren’t talking about NFTs because they are dead in the water, to the point that even one of its biggest proponents, Meta, dropped them this Tuesday. AI is very much a developing concern.

Come to think of it, selling people skins for non-existent ships feels like a precursor to NFT grifting.

Why the fuck is this news. Dude gave an opinion that’s not insulting, not even particularly wrong and prefaced it that he loves Jones otherwise. Why is this even a headline, are we gonna report someone famous really liked a bagel?

Agreed. Denji’s a feral, horny little shit, but he’s also a victim of grooming, mental and borderline sexual assault himself for most of the series, on top of growing up abused, alone and homeless. He’s overall deeply empathetic (if anti-social) and doesn’t really have the deep sense of “woe is me”, entitlement and…

They are both high schoolers. Denji is just a borderline feral child, since he’s grown up without a family and has been forced to work as a demon hunter for the yakuza from a young age.

“well you’ll wait some more because this is the same shit we always do since 2011"

No, you wouldn’t, because it’s an iconic sound at this point. The clicking made by the Clickers is part of the iconography of the whole series, getting rid of it would only make people wonder why the adaptation got rid of an important audio cue that was part of that mood-setting reveal trailer of TLoU.

My favorite thing is Veronica gaining the superpower of having all her bodily fluids be poison, which causes her to murder a guy with her pussy.

Riverdale is a truly awful show: a terrible adaptation of its source material and regularly one of the dumbest, most offensive, shallow TV series I’ve ever seen, one with absolutely 0 respect towards its actors and the viewers.

Surely Par Vollen would respect the military acumen of one of their most talented officers. If the Iron Bull thinks that his mercenary group was worth more than a ship, surely there is some room for negotiation.

So is her name Hoda or Hota? I would Google that, but I’m not gonna do AV Club’s job for them.

Most European countries have protections that make it hard to do unless it’s a good reason. In Germany, for example, you can’t be fired or dismissed without cause, and even if the cause is “we no longer have the money to pay you because we don’t have enough work for you”, you cannot be let go in an immediate manner…
