Unless you want to see the critically -acclaimed Prodigy, now airing.... literally nowhere.

Ah fuck me, you’re right.

You could carve at least an hour off of Guardians 3 and do nothing but improve the picture. Take everything with Adam Warlock out too.

I saw Guardians 3 about six hours after seeing Across the Spider-verse and it was a brutal experience. The film just limps across the screen looking bloated and unfocused in comparison,…

Here’s a thought on who should be the next Bond:

Nobody. Stop making them. Every Bond filn for the last twenty years keeps looking into the camera and going ‘man it’s weird we keep this colonialist dinosaur running around, huh’ and Casino Royale was the only move that did anything with that but it’s still true. Given…

fuck

Paramount, who just wiped four shows of the map (including the truly wonderful Star Trek Prodigy) for tax purpose, and whose entire executive staff can go fuck themselves.

I think old Fred Tristar-Columbia did well by his name.

He’s also terrified of women and has deeply repressed homoeroticism.

I mean ‘Power, Corruption & Lies’ is right there!

If only the movie were worth owning. Let me know when a 90 minute Director’s Preferred Cut shows up.

It’s the old tech problem of c-suite not actually using their product.

They’re also really big numbers for modern TV.

It’s wild to read the history of shows in the 90s an find they were cancelled for doing better numbers than all but the super-bowl today.

In part, though, televisions execs brought this on themselves. It wasn’t just streaming: the shift to the massive cable packages of the…

Luca was great.

Luca was small, and quiet, and micro-focussed on an extremely specific, fully-realized locale. It felt like a Ghibli movie, its highest stakes were buying a scooter, and its villain was a dude whose power was riding a bicycle. Luca said ‘if you spend ninety minutes in a gorgeous Italian village in the…

Here’s my idea: what if we got an actor to play the role instead? Someone who could emote, and do really tricky things like change their facial expression?

FUCK THE CHALLENGES CHALLENGES FUCK THE CHALLENGES.

Everyone - getting silver is doable. Getting gold for the Screwball challenges, or those hateful drone challenges? Fuck that, fuck that, fuck that, not fun, utterly joyless.

Worse then any section of the game where you have to walk around as a Mary Jane whose…

Luckily I have no money whatsoever so I’m not going to be capable of buying anything.

I mean that all genuinely sounds great I just think ‘get engaged by the first year’ is asking a bit much’ - I’m usually still trying to clear my field before the first year is out, I don’t have time for courting.

But a game with a proper narrative arc - that I like.

Yes. Titanic was a Royal Mail Ship because, well, she carried mail and was therefore entitled to the status. HMS is exclusively for military vessels. (HMCS/NCSM in Canada, HMAS in Australia, the utterly unwieldy HMPNGDFS (His Majesty’s Papua New Guinea Defence Force Ship) in Papua New Guinea, and so on.)

“In recent years, Warner Bros. and DC have had an equally huge, newsworthy presentation”

Given the quality of what they put out, we really shouldn’t have treated it as newsworthy. Should have treated it the way we do releases from The Asylum: a little footnote in back pages of the trades.

Across the Spider-verse out there proving definitively that CGI-heavy “live-action’ superhero movies should be taken out back and shot. I watched Guardians 3 a few hours after seeing Across and man did that ruin the fi;m more: what a bloated, crummy mess: is Across had come out first no one would have had much good to…
