Ulf and Hugh Hammer have both been onscreen so far, along with both Adam and Alyn of Hull.

It’ll stay around for a long time as a physical media, I just think it’s value in the rental market has all but depleted. People still value physical media that they OWN. Vinyl Records are at the highest sales since the 90s. I very specifically buy movies I want to OWN, movies that are meaningful to me, movies that…

Our library is pretty on-point with new DVD releases, so losing access to that via physical media is going to be a huge blow. There’s something to be said about walking in and grabbing a couple new-ish films for free*. Hell, even if you forget to return them in time paying a $0.75 penalty is still cheaper than renting…

I’m most excited to see if the show is going to stick to the book’s conceit that all the Tullys of this era have the names of Muppets. Lord Grover’s been mentioned several times, but his grandson Elmo and great-grandsons Kermit and Oscar may be pushing things on a TV show in a way that the book could just barely get…

Can I just say that’s the weirdest Arthurian reference I’ve ever seen in a serious piece of work?

I’d add “and cause underwater avalanches to bury them deeply so that they’ll be sequestered while they wait to be subducted”.

a: comes back up a geologically long time later

Whatever the Barrow-wights are, they are absolutely not the ghosts of Men buried in the barrows. The Downs of Tyrn Gorthad are absolutely ancient and go all the way back to the First Age, but they were built by the ancestors of Edain, not followers of Morgoth, and the later Dúnedain considered them a sacred place and…

It is just an assumption on the part of the writer of this article that they are associated in the show (because they interact in Fellowship). The announcement just comes down to them being in the show as well.

Oh they will figure it out, and quickly. Word gets around, because so many tipped workers either share jobs or go to industry nights where the name and face will spread. 

Uh no. No offense man, but this illustrates a complete misunderstanding of how digital art creation works. You still have to have artistic skill. If I use Adobe or Procreate, I am still in charge of the pen strokes, the pressure to create line thickness, the composition, and on and on.

AI is a prompt and a push of a…

Mandalorian S1 and Andor are apples and oranges, though. The former is an episodic with a few recurring characters and some loose story arcs. The latter is a dense serial top-loaded with franchise lore, with lots of supporting characters broken into four movie-like blocs. Mandalorian tends to be a “planet of the week”…

Otto got way more fired up about the ratcatchers being killed than he did about his own great-grandson being killed.

I kind of get where the reviewer is coming from in recognizing the tv language of “we are withholding information and setting up these two dudes as a big reveal” but I also don’t get it as a point of interest. It’s not shocking that the noble families are related to well-connected people who look like them. 

It wasn’t a flop either though. My impression is it did solid if not blockbuster numbers, much like Ahsoka

Cannibal would be cool, but I mostly want Sheepstealer! Best dragon name ever.

Older established trees are far more resilient to extreme temperature fluctuation, which really sucks because every citrus tree I’ve planted over the last 5 years just shrivels up and turns into a dead stick the moment we get to one of our record-breaking triple digit summers here in California.

Meanwhile, the white…

Yep, $1bn is a lot, but not enough. That was kind of the goal of the asset light production though. You can go look at Lucid and Rivian’s financials to see how much money it takes to create and sell a small amount of cars. 

I think this is especially important for The Last of Us, where they’re splitting the second game across multiple seasons.

Similar aims, but I think the Institute was vastly more successful (depending on your measure of success).  Maybe the Shop is a branch off of the Institute?
