It's an annoying box set.
I don't know if you saw, but the glue that holds the layers together isn't terrific. The disks have a tendency to slip down between the cardboard layers and get glue on them.
I just store the disks in a separate container.

You want people to take your IP movie seriously? Call it "Glup Shitto (or whatever): The Motion Picture". People would flock to the theaters because that just sounds important.

I looked it up, the last one was the first Star Trek movie, which was 46 years ago. Nearly fifty years. What happened to us.

We used to make movies with "The Motion Picture" in the title, like a real society

60s: hippies
70s: disco
80s: preppy
90s: grunge
What are the broad cultural signifiers of the 2000s, 10s and 20s? What do the stereotypes look like?

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is an act of profound cultural appropriation, with an established sixty year old director stealing the culture of young, overly creative filmmakers trying too hard to make a mark with their second feature.

God dammit I hate this timeline

The hanging plant on the wingtip. I didn't even notice that at first. I would make such passionate love to someone who owns this. You have no idea.

Look, a bookshelf is a very utilitarian item, and it should be generally discouraged for form to diminish or obstruct utility to this extent.
But this fucks. This fucks hard. If I saw this in someone's home, I'd think they're the most awesome person on the planet.

Happy Friday the 13th to all who celebrate

Call me crazy, but I've always gotten this sense that the old games are something the new devs are embarrassed about. If these remakes try and rewrite history to try and erase the fact that this franchise was built on uncomplicated schlocky fun, it will be depressing and annoying.

The original GOW games were not Prestige. They were not Serious. They were not Deep. Kratos did not learn things or grow. They were not somber or restrained. They were juvenile, silly fun. And that was fine. Do not try to "elevate" them, I beg you.

I swear to Zeus, if these remakes of the original God of War games tone down how over the top and trashy those games were in any way whatsoever, I'll be so mad.

Apparently in the show he's just boing to be called "The Spider". It would be very funny if the rights are so tangled between Marvel/Disney and Sony that Sony can't actually say "Spider-Man" in their Spider-Man show.

A part of me can't help but wonder if they're actually prohibited from using the name Spider-Man in this.

Remember around the late 2000s when people were really into this idea that pirates and ninja were somehow mortal enemies

Dammit

The female version of emasculated is defemistrated

Calling someone a performative male and calling them a fake geek girl are ultimately the same thing

Jimmy had pretty much nothing to do with the first movie, and I think showing his origin and his first meeting with Spike would have made more sense in Bone Temple. It also would have made the first movie more focused.

Having seen 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, it's very good! But I think the first and last scenes of the first movie should have been moved to this film. Jimmy's origin and him "recruiting" Spike should have been part of this movie, NOT the first one.

Long before 28 Years Later, "The Bone Temple" is what I called my bedroom.
It's an old, overgrown, long abandoned temple like in an Indiana Jones movie.

Does anyone else keep getting YouTube ads for "popular online platform", which don't tell you what the platform actually IS except that it's Mayan themed and you give it money?

At least three times in Avatar 3, Jake tells his son "stay here and protect your sisters" before running off to battle. And every single time, the son doesn't do that and runs off himself. Spoiler alert, he never learns not to do that even after it almost always ends badly.

It's almost admirable how two-dimensional the new villain lady in Avatar 3 is. Her deal is just "there was a volcano so fuck everything now"

You're all misreading the situation, as usual. Maduro is a smokescreen. This was about returning Osbourne Cox to US custody, which they almost certainly did.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

I never saw a single ad for this. I had absolutely zero idea it existed until seconds ago in a list of this year's biggest box office bombs. Apparently it cost 55 million dollars and made 6 mil back.
