Fingers crossed for some suburban eldritch horrors making an appearance in the third act.

Yeah, that mode's a lot of fun, def worth dipping back in.

"seems to promise a modern update on classic screwball romantic comedies of the 1930s and ’40s, but the film soon settles into the more naturalistic rhythm of the contemporary indie dramedy."

I'm only maybe like a 3rd of the way in, but I actually don't mind the bullet-sponge too much - so far it's largely just been an indicator that I need to get a better gun. The gameplay just clicks for me in a way it never did with, say, Destiny.

Waiting patiently for when it eventually drops on consoles, but until then the Survival mode in Tom Clancy's The Division (having someone's name up front is how you know it's good!) will have to suffice. Heavy blizzard, pounding synths, distant gunshots. Nice and spooky.

Counterpoint: we should start referring to this as American McGee's Battlegrounds, just because that's a fun qualifier to add to random things.

Went to a thing yesterday in D.C. where they had a few people from Snowfall talk about the work they've done. Mostly standard press junket stuff but it was kinda neat; Idris' preparation for the role apparently involved being berated by WC about the correct way to eat Popeye's.

So, I played all of half an hour of the original Destiny and thought it was… fine. A bit weird, but fine.

I mean, this is pretty par for the course in terms of how the adults running Boy Scout troops usually behave, so…

I would imagine he'd be happy to do another if it meant never having to deal with press constantly hyperventilating over Bond bullshit and he just got to make the movies.

Honestly, I don't want Littlefinger to die, because there's no way that's going to be more satisfying than "ok, at least he's not around anymore." He needs to have everything taken away from him, be made utterly irrelevant to the Game, and shown how his scheming got him absolutely nowhere and with no one to back him…

So it only took them 10 years to change things up, got it. And, while I'm sure it will be very good, everything indicates Black Panther is sticking to the formula. Wallace-from-The-Wire is the anti-Panther figure.

I'm a tad confused, you just named almost all of them, what "most" are we talking about? Ultron, Winter Soldier and Civil War? Because Ultron was just the best implementation of the formula (largely due to implementing the team instead of a single hero), and the Cap films are the only ones to consistently do something…

I think America is finally ready to explore the history of that character he played in Star Trek for like 5 seconds.

The next step is to just make Cloverfield movies without announcing beforehand or acknowledging afterwards that they're Cloverfield at all. Rom Coms. Historical dramas. Tyler Perry movies. Just, regular, normal movies and then *wham!* Cloverfield for like the last 15 minutes. Audiences have become too complacent,…

Proving that in the end, man is the true monster.

LOTR behind the scenes: Everyone is friends, New Zealand is awesome, our props are awesome, Orlando Bloom is here for some reason, yay us!

Play your cards right and you can do all three!

The insane clusterfuck aspect is the only reason I'm interested at all. Rubbernecking at that pileup sounds more fun than sitting through yet another go at the Marvel formula.

Wait, did they just forget to color Widow's hair? Is the grey supposed to be her real hair color? Why not write a fluff article about that?
