My wife and I watch the show. It is a good fun cop show. Not something life changing, but better than most content that gets pushed out these days. Also I have read several of the books and I like that they did a pretty faithful representation of who the characters are but they have created their own path and aren't just retelling the stories from the books as a straight adaptation.

Vikings at one point or another covered a huge part of the world. So the locations could be greatly varied and tied together by sea travel.

Maybe pull a 'Parks and Rec' and have the final season jump several years in the future. Find out what happens to Saul after he moves to Omaha to work at a Cinnabon. Turn the prequel series into a sequel series.

Those numbers are both kinda what I expect. DC has some great characters. Shazam is probably a third tier character in therms of popularity - about the same as antman. I can't wait until they get their A list characters right again. As for Dumbo, please stop giving Tim Burton beloved children's stories to remake.

Thanks for this. I tend to get tunnel vision and only listen to the stuff i already have. I listened to a few of the clips you posted and I like them... so I downloaded the album. Good work!

Good point. My only thought is that it is a first step to someday merging them. Game Pass is the future, and Gold makes less sense all the time.

Don't buy at face value. Find a deal... like on black friday and buy it for the year.

I'm not sure if you are joking or not. Comic book movies are a poor place to look for or expect realism. I know that Nolan tried to push in that direction and had success - but overall to try to contain comic books in a realistic setting is to misunderstand the whole set up.

I'm later than most of you. I'm seeing it Sunday the 28th at 11am. It was the first time in a good theater with a huge screen that wasn't jam packed already.

I think we pretty much agree. I doubt this will happen to many films. I mean there is a cost involved to do the work. They are only going to 'mess' with movies that they think they can make a bunch of money selling special editions of.

So does this movie exist outside of Batman? Like the Venom movie without Spiderman... It feels like if they even reference Batman a little bit at the end then people are going to want a sequel. I could be wrong but this feels like it's own thing - a one shot movie that might not be getting any sequels.

I think people hate the special editions for the changes/additions. Not for the straight forward improvements to existing visuals. Making the light-sabers look better, and making some of the cockpits not semi transparent for example are two touch ups that I don't think anyone complained about. I think if a studio wants to revisit and touch up a classic with just touch up to visuals then that is a great idea. But when you start tweaking dialog, adding or changing things then I would agree that it is a bad idea.

Looking at this image I just had a thought. I kinda did an internal double take then had to pull up infinity war to confirm something...

Here are some thoughts from Gaimen https://www.indiewire.com/2019/03/neil-gaiman-american-gods-season-2-interview-1202049623/ Honestly you probably won't ever get his real thoughts. I does not sound like he is super involved from that interview. He has made a few passes on scripts, and he has talked to a few people to help give background and motivations. As an author if he does not like the changes he can't come out and say that. He is getting paid so there is a lot that goes into those comments. I got to hear Lee Child (the guy who wrote the Reacher books) talk about a year ago. It was interesting because he told the story of when they told him Tom Cruise was going to be Reacher in the movies. He was basically blindsided by the news and hated Cruise for the role - but contractually he could not at the time say anything bad about the production. I'm not saying that this show is bad. I haven't watched it. I loved the book and have been wary of watching the show because I have seen all the mess around the production. I just don't want to stain the story in my mind. So the show may be great, but I don't know. I haven't watched it.

I think the idea is to pick a classic game from your own backlog that you have never finished... and get it done.

Amazing how different these lists are.

Has there been something said about it not being a shot for shot remake? I haven't seen Aladdin for a while but most of what I see in the trailer seem like scenes directly from the original.

The worst possible version of Endgame would be if she shows up to the Avengers complex after they have been beaten a couple more times already (2/3 of the way into the movie) then she just takes over and saves the day for everyone.

I think it is significant. MS and Sony will want to make sure that both of their consoles will provide a better graphical experience than what you can get by streaming. Going by the GPU numbers that google has given out is really all anyone can go on at this point. Will there be a premium price for Stadia for using multiple GPU's? Is raytracing or HDR even an option?

My expectation is that this is going to be an Iron Man/Captain America movie with tons of supporting actors. My guess is Iron Man Dies (sacrifice to save the world) and Cap goes back in time to hook up with his girl and stays back there to live his life with her. I'm probably wrong on all that. I have a terrible track record on predictions.

When the N64 came out I had it preordered and was pretty excited. The unit I got was DOA. Would not work at all. All the stock was sold out everywhere so took me several days to get a replacement.

I like how he has said 'thats it" like 15 times. The joke wasn't funny once.

His name was taken off some loading screens. Still appears in the credits. Nothing to see here... move along.

I don't think they were intentionally trying to kill off all the black people... I think the intent was (for the most part) to reassemble the avengers team from the first avengers movie. Notice that they all survived the snap.

Yep. Being civil to people with opposing opinions is radical. I know.
