  1. 'The Winter King' Review: Arthurian Legends Are Reborn in Sprawling Series COLLIDER.COM MGM+'s adaptation of Bernard Cornwell's novel stars Iain De Caestecker as King Arthur. First review is up and holy crap it sure sounds like they may have nailed it! Can’t wait for next week. Almost don’t with my reread of the first book.
  2. Saying there’s not enough in the John Wick universe to dive into other aspects of it is a wild statement. They’re an absolute master class in world building with little to no exposition. Hell you never even see things like the High Table. Now whether or not what they do outside of the movies is any good? We’ll see. But I wouldn’t bet against it. Also the correct order is 4 - 1 - 2 - 3. The Warriors homage fight scene is the best.
  3. Wheel of Time wasn’t massacred though. That show was fine till the weird Covid episodes. We’ll see how S2 turns out.
  4. I think Cavill is the draw in this instance. This season isn’t any better or worse than S2 and even S1 turned a lot of people off with its timeline jumping but both were still massively successful. I think Cavill leaving moved a lot of people into “eh if he’s gone then what’s the point”
  5. Lol wut only 3? The Exorcist, French Connection and The Boys in the Band are all fantastic. And Blue Chips is solid guilty pleasure in that cheesy 90’s sports drama genre lol.
  6. Jesus this story is literally everything I want from this game. My lack of a gaming PC makes me sad. Gonna be a long month of FF XVI side quests while I wait to get my hands on this.
  7. 82% at 41 hours. The in between side mission sections seems to be getting longer which is awful feeling. But the major story/battle missions are so fucking awesome that it’s worth it. I’m ready to be done but I’ve enjoyed the ride.
  8. I love the book and enjoyed the first season. But that season covered the whole book and I have zero desire to check out season two 🤷🏻‍♂️
  9. Is this a jump scare movie or a sense of dread creepy shit movie?
  10. Im in the same boat. Usually I lean Paladin for that kind of combo. But I believe the inclusion of Sub Classes opens up more of those hybrid builds than you’d normally have with classes you wouldn’t expect? I could be talking out of my ass though haha
  11. Lol what a clown. The most obvious answer is usually correct. The beloved star of the show is leaving. He is being replaced by a C Tier actor who has a decent amount of negative press as “not a great guy” stemming from a previous high profile relationship. That and that alone is the single driving force between the drop in viewership. Being a fair drop off from how fun S1 was coming in a distant second.
  12. Unbreakable is my favorite by far. But I can’t lie, The Happening is one of my terrible movie guilty pleasures that I’ll watch whenever it’s on. Even in his worst movies I always love the way he makes them. The camera shots/vibe/tension I always enjoy.
  13. Well crap. I have TotK but I’ve barely played it yet. Now I feel like I should just wait for the inevitable remaster on the next system.
  14. Rachet by a wide margin imo. Lots of “oh wow” moments in it.
  15. This is the exact post I plan to make once Winter King starts and it becomes very apparent they’re going way away from the already flawless story lol
  16. I haven’t read the books and didn’t really find either confusing. If neither is addressed for the whole rest of the season then I’ll be confused. But it’s episode 2. Doesn’t seem that weird to introduce mysterious names and characters. 🤷🏻‍♂️ The show does consistently stay incredibly interesting when it’s following Trantor and Empire. Everything around the Foundation really fluctuates for me.
