I subscribed to catch up on Lower Decks (Well, and to watch the NCAA tournament when I couldn’t get a decent OTA signal from my local CBS affiliate;) now B&B is going to keep me around for another month...which will probably be just enough time for them to announce a date for the next season of Lower Decks.

A while back on a podcast I listen to, the topic of Pratt as Mario came up and somebody floated “What, is Pratt gonna do a big goofy Italian voice?” One of the hosts, an LA comedy writer with industry connections, replied with “...I can tell you some things I’ve heard. After we stop recording.” Since then I’ve been…

On the Young Avengers side, I’m guessing that some version of Hulkling shows up in Secret Invasion or The Marvels.

Per the Deadline story linked in the article, the staff and crew are staying on for Sherri Shepard’s new show. The cycle of daytime TV will not be impeded for a second.

In his most recent public appearances, Shane exuded an undeniable “That man has been doing a lot of cocaine” energy. Even if you didn’t know what the side effects of cocaine were - even if you didn’t know what cocaine was, period - you’d look at Shane McMahon and say “Yo, that guy’s on coke.” 

There was an online test last weekend and from the two or three games I played, I was satisfied with the experience. Very little lag or hiccups. That said, more than a few other players dropped in those handful of matches, so maybe it wasn’t sunshine and roses on their end.

I thought it was pretty good for a post-process job on a (then) 20-year-old movie. Though the main thing I remember thinking watching it in 3D was “Wow, the script on this thing is tight” - the theatrical experience was the first time I’d actually watched it properly in years, and I was really impressed with the econom…

Life, uhhh...life finds a way.

- You don’t have to do this
- You don’t have to pay to spend 3 hours of your life watching a so-so movie that mostly gets by on your nostalgia for a genuinely great movie from 30 years ago
- The original Jurassic Park is available for purchase/rental on many media formats and streaming platforms

This happened face-to-face once when I was in high school; I was chatting with somebody in a break period during driver’s ed, somehow the topic turned to the upcoming release of Pokemon Gold/Silver and this guy was totally on-board to talk about it. As soon as I thought “Oh cool, finally a friend I can go deep on this…

Not a lot of people can say they saw The Wire at 9 PM on June 2, 2002, but I can. I was in a hotel room with my parents on our way to my summer orientation session at college, my mom said “Hey, we’ve got HBO! Let’s see what’s on.” She flipped the channel, we came in on that scene with Kima, Herc and Carver cussing up…

The constant “METRO CITY” references in the background early in the video (and unfamiliar characters fighting faceless goons) made me genuinely believe for a second that they were about to reveal a Final Fight revival.

Depends on if they still nickel-and-dime me in the “Complete” edition (They will.)

“You still probably can’t find a PS5...so here’s a sizzle reel of 5 titles for PSVR2, the PS5 hardware add-on that doesn’t even have an announced release window!”

I want to greet you with a hearty “Hola, hola, hola, hola (Hi, hi, hi, hi.)“ but again, strict non-interaction policy.

What’s the appeal of doing a Star Wars project now for any actor, much less PoC talent? “Hey, so a bunch of obnoxious chuds will harass you from the second you sign this contract until...well we don’t really know the limits of when it will end, but we believe that it will, eventually.”

This is the thrust of it. Stealth attacks eventually return to being one-hit kills on almost all enemies...but not for the first, like, 20 hours of the game, until you level up and can sufficiently buff the talents in your Assassin skill tree. Also, combat overall is more involved than the “You can parry anything with…

My favorite chip variety that doesn’t seem to exist anymore was Utz Mystic Dark Russet. They were billed as “New England-Style Kettle” chips, which I’m now guessing were intended to be a knock-off version of Cape Cods, so I should seek those out and give them a shot.

There would be an upshot here and it’s that Jared Leto would 100% not return for an “embrace the meme” sequel because he takes the CRAFT of ACTING too seriously for that. (Which is why we laugh at him currently.)
