Here’s one thing about they got right with pre-ordering - the collector’s edition! I picked it up because I’m a big fucking nerd, and the lightsaber is absolutely nuts. Has to be like a legit 3-4 pounds of metal in this thing. Sucks that the game isn’t ready to play, but at least I can spend time embarrassing my kid…

I’m fine with ‘Metroidvania,’ since those game series have been widely played for decades, but I do scratch my head a bit with ‘Roguelike.’ It’s hard to imagine a gamer for whom the original Rogue is an actual frame of reference; I’m pushing 50 and that game was still before my time.

undid Q’s death

but that just turned into an immediate pre-order.

No, I totally agree that letting parks self-regulate as a bad idea in general. Disney is certainly an exception compared to things like Six Flags and all. And I don’t mind Disney being the exception, provided that their agreement with the government (the one DeSantis is trying to commandeer) makes it clear that they…

I dunno, he’s clearly an expert on the subject...

While I admit I don’t know if it’s the case, I would suspect that Disney’s own inspections *are* the higher standard. Disney World is absolutely invested in it’s reputation as the safe and family-friendly “happiest place on earth,” and they certainly take extraordinary care to ensure nothing disrupts that. If someone…

We are the only species in the world that...

I’d also argue that Sam Raimi’s oft-forgotten For Love of the Game should be on there, too. It’s a bad comedy/drama, but a good baseball film.

Shhhh, invisibility is our safety in the generation wars!

What if the real Harley is the friends we made along the way?

Some of us don’t have phones, dammit!

I don’t think they should even limit that series to Apple+. They could be streaming it here, streaming it there, streaming it every-fucking-where.

Beard is definitely a filler episode, but it’s also my favo(u)rite ep of S2. It’s funny how these kinds of episodes used to be common when 24-episode seasons were the norm, but are largely out of favor in the streaming era of short, heavily serialized shows.

And he got to hug Indiana Jones on stage for the Best Picture win, with Spielberg cheering in the audience. Quan’s life is worthy of a movie itself.

Was it implied that something pulled Mando under the water? Did it just let him go? He was very deep very quickly and was unconscious apparently.

Such a weird complaint anyway. The World Between Worlds was at least something novel with the Force. If we’re constraining other Star Wars media to what’s already been seen in ”regular Star Wars” stories, well why the hell bother even making them?

you can come up with a better name than that!

I assume it’s more than one of each, as replacements will inevitably be necessary.

I know that Paul Rudd is sort of the standard for ageless, Dorian Gray-esque actors, but Jason Statham appears not to have changed in any way for at least 20 years.
