Divinity reminds me more than a little of Astron 6's fake trailer for Bio-Cop

There is some synthetic material that ends up in a lot of costumes that I really dislike. It must be incredibly easy to work with, but it always looks rubbery plastic to me. I think that ease of use also leads to costumes being over textured.

Yes, but you also have the box office split which is generally lower from overseas. It’s a pretty slim margin. The only thing that makes sense to me is it’s basically a favor to Cameron, and it’s probably not a coincident the news is coming out after the release of Way of Water

For me, it felt like a fan edit that merged some hypothetical  Alita trilogy that kept the fights at the expense of scene setting, relationship building, and the better third of a love triangle.

There was a real question as to whether it had broke even. Maybe it was a quiet cult hit on streaming? It seems like an odd pick for a sequel.

I think G Gundam often gets a pass, because people remember the handful of fun moments and forget the bulk of it that’s mind numbingly dull.

I’d like to claim the moral high ground and say it was Miller’s crime spree that keeps me away, but it just looks bad. The cinematography and CGI look awful, and I don’t have a great deal of nostalgia generally or affection for the Keaton Batman specifically.

There are scenes floating around on twitter and it’s real. It looks bad even ignoring the compression.

I’ve heard opposite explanations. The blade has no weight so there’s no kinesthetic sense of where it is. Or that the blade is this weird torrent of energy you need the force to anticipate or guide. I imagine something like moving a gyroscope and having unintuitive force.

Don’t cut yourself on that edge

I felt the same way about High Evolutionary and Kang. I liked that H.E. isn’t just a screaming guy with a God complex, but also a neurotic wreck. It’s another dimension I haven’t seen in Kang so far.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. It felt like Gunn’s priority was doing right by the characters and actors, and maybe the A plot took backseat.

The rumor is that it’s actually good and that’s the reason they’re moving forward despite Ezra Miller, and not just Batgirling it.

The thing I was day dreaming about after TFA was for civilizations across the galaxy to independently discover the force and decide for themselves what it means and what you can do with it. Then you could have stories exploring the differences between factions and character’s relationships to their own ideology.

Kinda sounds like the Katee Sackoff netflix series Another Life. It would make a great so-bad-it’s-good watch if it weren’t so long.

Ah, yes. The lost magical kingdom of Laputa. Reminds me I recently learned a new Italian pasta recipe, puttanesca. I eventually looked up the name and yeah, not a false cognate.

I don’t think I’m entirely done with superhero movies, but the reviews have to be glowing to get mu interest anymore. I think I’ll probably skip this one entirely.

I’ve heard good things about the retconning and recontextualization that happened in the cartoons, but I can’t hep but wonder what all that creative energy could have done with a better skeleton.

My understanding is that a lot of these crowd funding backed media projects have deals lined up conditional on raising a certain amount of money. The fund raising is basically to demonstrate audience interest more than to actually fund a significant part of the project.

I love the roughness of the figures and the sawdust is a great touch. We seem to be in a stop motion renaissance.
