I own and played Civs 3-6 to death. Never once touched multiplayer.

This is the most bewilderingly left field casting since...the last time Lex Luthor was cast, I guess. Maybe Berlanti & Co. saw something different than Ducky in him? I’m gonna have a little bit of faith in this but weird.

I don’t think the comic is at all. The video game references and stuff are pretty incidental to the core of the plot itself: Scott Pilgrim is a shit dude who failed at becoming an adult because he’s self-absorbed and coasting by on life. Ramona Flowers is a complicated person who carries the baggage of past…

Eh. Whether or not their TV offerings are particularly good (The Tick and Mrs. Maisel are more than enough for me, though) the other benefits of Prime are good enough and make it a better deal than the other streaming services

I think it’s a decent commentary that the one event in the book that is black and white, definitely heroic doesn’t involve violence at all.

Yeah, this is my argument for V as well: The Wachoskis weren’t trying to make the same story because that story is very British and very much of the 80s. They were making a story about America in the 00s. There was no extant anarchist undercurrent in post-9/11 America, no nascent punk scene screaming at power- there…

Pleasantly surprised that it’s actually not awful. I’ve maintained the entire time that every single Disney Revival era movie has had shitty trailers that didn’t represent the movie well but I was still nervous about this one because of how aggressively bad it looked.

Nah, Colbert was never in UCB. The OG UCB crew was probably at iO while he was at Second City and Exit 57 was Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello, who also came out of Second City.

That’s how Stan would’ve wanted it.

Not sarcasm, he would’ve been extremely cool with it.

Because they make a billion dollars not bothering to do that.

I mean, conceptually I’m not sure we needed a third movie, but in practice, it’s one of the very best third movies in any series ever. It’s extremely good. And from that perspective, it’s easy to make an argument for “Why not a fourth one?” but at some point this has to give and considering how beautifully conclusive…

They’ve probably pushed this too far, at last. They’ve done so well without any diminishing returns on this series but I don’t think it can keep it up. Toy Story 3 was such a masterful conclusion, why would anyone want more.

Spooky, scary

Men becoming wolves”

Chills.

It’s insane how good these are. You can literally pick one at random and it’s a perfect example of old school cartoon sensibilities modernized to be awesome.

Honestly, that would be pretty cool actually.

You joke, but the new Mickey Mouse shorts on YouTube are bonkers good. Like, cutting to the very core of what makes old school cartoons fun and appealing and totally reinvigorating these hell of ancient characters.

This is going to make Disney a gazillion dollars, I don’t think there’s any point in being dismissive of that fact. Whether or not that’s a good thing is what’s worth being critical about.
