    The latest reddit drama, "going dark" and boycotting

    ++ As a business case, spez must think/know he has one hell of a parachute because if reddit does manage to finally go public, I just can't see how he keeps his job. Gaining global infamy and single-handedly causing a mass user revolt and possible exodus is not what I imagine big investors are...

    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part 1) [SPOILERS after first post]

    View: https://youtu.be/shW9i6k8cB0 Non-spoiler pocket review: You owe it to your brain and eyeballs to see this movie on as big a screen as you can find it. From front-to-back it is probably going to be the most visually stunning movie you will see all year. Story never really drags...

    Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (SPOILERS)

    For what it's worth, Counter-Earth is one of the High Evolutionary's 'things'. However, given how...complicated...things are around Counter-Earth in the comic continuum, it's probably for the best that the MCU used it to illustrate how batshit MCU High Evolutionary is and then blowing it up.

    Babylon5 Animated movie

    Maybe things have gotten better with recent advances in AI upscaling tech for videos but it's been my understanding that the biggest roadblock to a proper HD upgrade is that they'd have to go back and rebuild all the CG from scratch as the original files were lost or not kept.

    Dungeons & Dragons Movie - Could it actually be good?

    Saw it a couple weekends ago courtesy of an Amazon Prime™ preview screening and as a 'D&D-aware but non-playing' viewer, it was way more entertaining and respectful of the source material than the trailers would lead you to believe. I'd be perfectly happy if they did a D&D/Forgotten Realms...

    RIP: Lance Reddick

    Off the top of my head: heart attack, stroke, brain aneurysm, aortic dissection. While the chances your meat suit will outright betray you with little to no warning are extraordinarily small, they're not zero. RIP to a man whose presence throughout modern pop culture will absolutely be missed...

    Steven Yeun joins Thunderbolts in undisclosed role See, I think the awful low-budget Marvel movies of the 70s and 80s give some context to the ride-or-die MCU fans. Is it cringe af to cape for a megacorp? Sure it is. But they’re also the ones who hold the reins to the IP and even just...

    Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (SPOILERS)

    So it was...fine. I don't think it deserves as much stick as it's getting from the critics but as a standalone movie I can see putting it the lower tiers of the MCU overall. I did like how they showed how terrifying Kang can be in a way they only really hinted at in Loki. However, I wish they...
