Fantastic movie. Wan shows in several points that he’s quite competent in building uncomfortableness, suspense, and dread; then he pivots because that’s not at all what he wants to do.

You’re slipping

We do already have Jimmy Woo, and a world-spanning organization (possibly) trying to make good. Seems like a good time to bring back the “villainous” Agents of Atlas

I’d feel sad for Pepper, but I’d be glad knowing that Wenwu could find love again with Tony

They’re likely not connected to criminal organizations. It’s low-effort shit that they’re doing, the moment you add a dollar amount (even if it’s for a travel/minutes phone) means they start to lose interest in their “hobby”.

It comes down to game developer’s commitment to pressing on the capabilities of their games. The differences in performance between PS5 and PS4 are becoming increasingly stark. Asking developers to take their foot off of the accelerator means their games are less competitive, and asking them to make a toned-down…

Same. PS3 came out in college, so I didn’t have time for it, and had a computer capable of playing a lot of other games.

He’s really good at building excitement for what his projects can be, which is why we come back, lose interest a few episodes in, and then come back for the finale to watch the train wreck finally explode.

Hope you saw the update

Thanks, she likes it when you call her.

Best part is that they killed off a main character from Grey’s in it

Part of the theatrical release cycle is the tens of millions of dollars in marketing, building hype among the potential audience, and the ceremony of going to a theater, buying overpriced popcorn and soda, and plopping down to be overwhelmed by the sound and spectacle, so much that the rough edges get smoothed.

It’s not that she’s “destroying her reputation”, but that there’s a hedge of goodwill from Monster and the first WW that makes us all willing to think that WW84 was a fluke. It’s just that her recent remarks about the state of streaming cinema are starting to eat away at that because they’re coming across as “My art…
