They seem to have the same contract that New Line did in terms of available materials (The indices are fine, the Silmarillion is iffy) which means that Alatar and Pallando are still in that “Gandalf has to say he forgot their names” zone. It’s not like they published the contract or anything, but they mentioned…

Yep, explaining why “Flame of Udûn” is what Gandalf calls the Moria Balrog.

Yeah, but they don’t have the rights to two of them, Radagast wouldn’t be an especially interesting payoff, and in this era, having it be Saruman would be about as exciting as if it were Gandalf, he took a while to fall to corruption.

Why are people trying to spin Cheadle getting a starring role in a film as bad? You want to know why this became a movie? It seems pretty obvious. You notice that She-Hulk has had like one and a half fight scenes so far? It’s because they’re crazy expensive to make on a show budget. Now just imagine the show is not…

I have this problem where I love fighting games but don’t like them at the competitive level, in part because I don’t like memorizing frame data and plus on block stuff, etc. but also in part because high-level play in a lot of games looks extremely boring from an outside perspective. Like just 70 seconds of footsies…

I’ve had that exact problem with Don’t Worry, Darling and the Garbage song Push It.

Lol final Halloween. 

Y’know who else played a crystal flute?  Lemme just spin my chair around and tell you the tale of the original flautist for crystal, Jen the Gelfling.  He watched his girlfriend temporarily die for our sins!

Oh whoa I’m a dragon a huh huh huh huh.

Rogen was part of making that Rescue Rangers movie, right?  Is this gonna basically be that, but instead of just “old animation” it’s “Weird stuff from around the Disney parks”?  Like we’re also gonna get Buzzy and Sonny Eclipse and shit?  Hope they find a way to work in Major Domo and Hooter.

Oh shit they better hurry up then because the MCU is currently in 2027 I think.  They were modern day until Infinity War and then had a time jump.

And yet it would immediately work that way.  It’s similar to how the Mario Kart kiosk in Gamestop isn’t a daycare center.  Would I actually do this?  Of course not.  Just making a point about what will inevitably happen.

It’s got shitloads of fan service, it’s just for a weird subset of fans.  References to Ryloth, the Kuat Drive Yards, and the Rakatan Infinite Empire in just this episode.

I ain’t bringing you out of the greys, Mr. “In the case of obvious jokes I will side with the made up restaurant.”

My kid is a hyperactive little crazy person (She takes after me!) and I’ll happily pay a ten dollar surcharge for her being a maniac... BUT that implies that I get to just set her loose in there for that flat fee, I assume. I’m not spending 10 bucks for if she like pretends to drop a crayon so she can escape out from…

“How is Logan still alive” is a weird question since the film Logan takes place in like 2030 or something. 

The targ has experienced bij and must endure six more weeks of dishonor.

In California they’ve been up over 6 bucks for years now.  It’s a shame, not because of principle, but logistics.  I sometimes have a five on me when I’m leaving a store, I rarely have seven bucks in pocket.

Him and Ryan Reynolds are producing/starring in a different film together right now called “If” which is also set to come out sometime in 2024, the gag was basically “Wait, is Wolverine gonna be in our fantasy comedy?”
