Glad we’re starting to see a Brendan Fraser renaissance. Been re-watching The Mummy, Blast From the Past, and George of the Jungle recently and they really do hold up. Should I check out Doom Patrol? I keep getting ads for it and can’t seem to figure out what the heck it’s about.

God some of these comments, sheesh. I’m happy he’s getting more and more work. I adore him.

Tintin sequel looks weird.

Nate Drake requires a wise beyond his years actor with an edge (no idea who that person is.)

Press X to climb.  

I often wonder how the makers of that Conan movie with Mamoa feel now when they realized they had perfect casting and a future super-star on their hands and relegated him to what felt like 45 minutes of the screen time and about 45 lines?

I feel like most people saying this - possibly not you, but most and certainly some of the people starring you - are unspeakable hypocrites of the most crude kind, who are chortling at Rick and Morty (also about a twee murderer, but a much worse one), Archer, or any number of other shows.

Batman doesn’t kill…

This is why I can’t ever get behind Harley, no matter what they do with her. She’s a horrible, horrible person with a truly astonishing trail of bodies behind her

Deadpool has a stack of bodies the size of a planet, and still makes regular Avengers appearances. 

That’s fine, but she’s also a fictional character. I like Harley Quinn because I find her entertaining. I don’t think I’d be okay with her stuff in real life. Some things work for you that you’d be jelly with, some things don’t. Even if two character might effectively be the same, you might end up hating one while

As somebody who recently finished a (very rough) draft of a TTRPG and based a lot of my decisions on the “wasted rounds” you’d see in D&D after playing a bunch with new players, I definitely agree with some of what’s being talked about here.

New and interesting games are all well and good, but you can barely give someone a primer on a campaign world and expect them pay attention to it. These worlds maintain such a high population of players because you only need a basic passing knowledge of what generic fantasy is, and you can roll up a character.

Wish they were caught up on the news with Barbara and her dad, though.

I couldn’t disagree more. The fact that Batman is a dad who adopts kids in order to give them - and give himself - a family to replace the one they lost is a huge, important thematic part of the character that I wish got more emphasis.

I get that, but I also think that interpretations of the character like this are important, because they give his character a bit more texture. He can be the moody loner a lot of the time, but when good things do happen in his life, he doesn’t have to self-sabotage them... and sometimes they do happen.

Honestly, we have needed this sort of take on the Bat-family for far too long. There’s been a lot of implications that, some of, this slice-of-life style stuff exists in the past and while this seems to go to the Teen Titans (yes, the original as much as Go!) extreme, it also seems like the best way to just have some

“A beginning is a delicate time...”

What’s super weird about the ‘believably grimy’ thing you bring up that a lot of people feel about fantasy is this idea that unless stuff is really dirty, its clearly not realistic. Which is....not how history happened at all. People bathed, and clothes were washed (personal bathing really only got odd after the first

I’m extremely hopeful they won’t turn the plot into a Bourne Supremacy-like story where Madeline is fridged while they are off the grid, and he’s back in action in a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. The movie should be better than that, and also hopefully digs into the years between Casino/Quantum and Skyfall/Spectre which
