I remember reading back in the early 1980s how gallium arsenide was obviously going to replace silicon. Didn’t happen - and compared to most alternatives, it’s wildly successful, being used in a lot of niche applications. Even with 40+ years of actual, real-world use and development, though, it is a rounding error…
Seems like you’re missing the biggest story of the week:
THR reports Cary Elwes will play “the king of the galactic empire” in Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon. Corey Stoll, Michiel Huisman and Alfonso Herrera have additionally joined the cast in undisclosed roles.
I love Pablo Schreiber - but depending on what someone has seen him in before, I can’t help to think some person saw the face reveal of Master Chief and immediately thought “Pornstache??!!”.
The legendary difficulty for the campaign is one of the best decisions Bungie has made in recent memory, and is an absolute must for long-time fans who want to feel like there are actually stakes to what is happening. This campaign is easily the best Bungie has produced for long-time fans, but I do worry it’s a bit…
I have never given up a show faster than La Brea. I was out by the time the opening credits rolled.
Thing is, if this wasn’t Star Wars, just some random SyFy channel summer show: would it have been given half as much leeway as it has? I know YMMV, but I’m struggling to watch this show. It’s so badly written, dreadfully paced and just kinda boring overall. I can forgive “bad”, but “boring” is a killer
I hope they didn’t kill off Cobb Vanth. They can’t do Timothy Olyphant dirty like that.
Peacemaker has been an absolute joy to watch. Like, I hoped it would be good, but daaamn...and I’ve had that Wig Wam track stuck in my head for weeks now.
Nothing will ever top that first Jurassic Park movie. It’s a magical film. The sequels all suck, though. And when the films’ producer says “We have plenty of storytelling potential for future Jurassic movies”, that’s code for “We’re gonna keep making terrible Jurassic World sequels as long as they keep making billions…
I am going to laugh my ass off when the N-1 gets blown up, crashed or otherwise wrecked this season. All those ebay speculators will be back to having $20 toys on their hands.
In fairness, getting Red-Blooded Americans (tm) to pick sides between the Chinese Communist Party and a Muslim ethnic minority was probably gonna be an uphill battle the whole way.
But all that glorious warhead-flinging and rail gun fire didn’t exist in a vacuum
June 3? That’s so far away. I can’t even make a “June 3 can’t get here soon enough” comment. That’s half a year. Having said that, I can’t wait for The Boys.
Things I enjoyed about first season:
There’s a certain mindset among some people that they live in an 80's crime movie where roving gangs and criminals battle it out under orange skies full of pollution and the only thing that can keep the world safe is one (white) man with a gun who plays by his own rules and isn’t soft on crime.
I used to be selected for jury duty every year or two and they’d bring me as far as they could without having to discount me from selection for seven years. Finally, in comments as to why I shouldn’t be selected for jury duty, I wrote that I go by my own code which may or may not coincide with the law written to…
