*the wrong baby, because we need a third act twist in there

I can’t wait until somebody compiles an oral history detailing exactly how Rowling and Co. pulled off the bait-and-switch of “We’re telling a new story, in the world of Harry Potter, with new characters and new adventures!” to “haha sike it’s the backstory that was already covered in the books but we’re going to do it…

She probably told her agent “Get me out of this turkey, I’m trying to have a career.”

Wizard: Dream-casting Dan Radcliffe AS Danzig AS Wolverine

What’s especially obnoxious about his appearance in BR2049 is that you can cut his scenes from the movie and lose almost nothing. I guess his one-on-one with Deckard has some weight but otherwise he’s just providing nothing.

It did, and he’s the first guy to get taken out by the alien, so it’s a pretty good movie.

It’s a one-two punch of Sony having a relatively small well of characters to draw from and the fact that they can’t seem to get any of these ancillary Spider-Man projects going with enough lead time to tease them in a preceding movie. Can’t set up a tease for your Black Cat/Silver Sable project if it’s going to…

I installed this with Game Pass, didn’t really care for it, and shunted it off to my external drive in case I wanted to give it another go in the future. Yesterday, when I realized it was downloading yet another 55 gig update, I finally knew it was time to give it up. It’s a game that is too frustrating to even keep in…

I did the XBox All Access deal for a XBox One S years ago, just a few months before they launched Ultimate. The All Access deal at the time was buying two years of XBL Gold and Game Pass up front...so when I did the Ultimate upgrade it essentially doubled the length of my prepaid subscription. I think I actually might …

I saw The Family Man in theaters, with my church youth group. For whatever reason I really only remember the scene where, post-Family Manification, he goes to a tailor to buy a very expensive suit.

I’ve only been to a White Castle restaurant once in my life, and it was under basically ideal circumstances (After midnight, pretty drunk, wearing my nicest suit, and having already eaten an enormous meal maybe 4 hours earlier.) The only disappointment I had that evening was that I learned that fresh White Castle…

Drive Angry kicks ass. Wild plot, solid action and all the actors know exactly what kind of movie they’re in and just play their roles to the hilt. William Fichtner in particular steals the show as The Devil’s Accountant.

They’re both great films, but Drive Angry’s Sex Scene > Shoot ‘Em Up’s Sex Scene. It’s just a much funnier scene - the image of a fully-clothed Nic Cage, wearing sunglasses (indoors, at night) and lustily swigging from a bottle of whiskey while the truck stop waitress rides him sticks with a person.

Or Sicilian Vampire.

Butt-chugging was my generation’s holy grail, and we’re pushing 40. Based on Euphoria I take it that modern kids exclusively do mad pills that I haven’t heard of.

Uncharted 3 was the first major game to come out after I got a 3DTV (If you bought a non-budget TV of a certain size between 2010-2012, you were getting 3D whether you wanted it or not.) All I remember of it now is that it utilized the 3D feature very well in the “Running through the North African marketplace while…

I loved Treme and I’ve never been to NOLA; if I were to speculate as to why it never gained traction with a larger audience my money would be on the fact that it had no immediate narrative hook to draw you in. You had more traditional procedural storylines like Melissa Leo’s civil rights work uncovering larger…

I think I hated Vinyl by like episode 4, but I stuck with it to the end purely out of spite. I hated it.

Had to scroll up to check the publication date since I was certain the algorithm had pushed up an article from...y’know...like a year and a half ago.

Wasn’t Sobeck’s discovery that Faro had deliberately removed all override functions, including manufacturer-level access, in the robots’ design phase? People already blamed him for the “glitch,” but she threatened to expose that it wasn’t random error that allowed the swarm to go rogue.
