So yesterday I did a marathon re-watch of the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy. I think they were somewhat better and worse than I remembered in different ways. I also noticed that Chloe Dykstra was in the train scene when watching the credits (she is the daughter of ILM veteran John Dykstra, a key...

Some weeks ago the game show channel my Mom watches had Election on for their movie (because they show older movies in addition to older game shows). I recorded it on the PVR and just got around to watching in tonight. There was clearly a lot of things about the film I had completely forgotten...

Sounds a bit like Discovery syndrome where across five seasons most of the bridge crew had like half an episodes worth of character development.

Sharon's flowers were white, right? "In English folklore, the white hart is associated with Herne the Hunter. Arthurian legend states that the creature has a perennial ability to evade capture, and that the pursuit of the animal represents mankind's spiritual quest. It also signalled that the...

Nice catch. Works for either Acheron or Charon. Definitely cannot be a coincidence to evoke the rivers of the Underworld in the names of both of the Earth witches.

Rio meaning river, and Rio apparently being an earth witch, and one of the rivers of the Underworld being named Lethe, and Agatha having forgotten who she was... does all seem to fit together in a way. It is all very cthonic.

Who do I have to kill to get the next episode right now !? But seriously: I am going to take the first, obvious stab: Rio is not Mephisto. Rio is the daughter of Mephisto, or something in that vein. I do not know much about the comics, but I do know that "Agent Vidal" is basically the same as...

I am pretty basic: probably Optimus Prime, followed by Bumblebee. I think I am also a bit partial to Grimlock.

I do feel like the way they intentionally leave the story wide open at the end means they plan on doing something with it. There is no way this is a one-off spin-off. I am still waiting for the day when we have a true virtual LEGO game that is basically Minecraft with LEGO. But because people...

I am not sure I understand this point. Why do you have to win to be considered heroic?

Nice to see a Canadian actor playing Lorne Michaels.

Nuclear grade spoiler potential would definitely be my optimistic take on the embargo timing.

Adar is basically an elf-tier orc. At least insofar as the lore of the series he is not just some random dude Sauron was trying to convince: he is another hand-crafted former servant of Morgoth. Presumably the reason Sauron always had armies is because he always needed them. And it does not seem...

I wonder whether Rings of Power suffers in the same way Solo suffered: it is trying to wrap up every hanging story thread we have heard of in one go. Maybe I am wrong and all of these big events really were this compressed in the lore. But somehow I doubt it.

This looks fun and might even have a half decent plot. Hopefully the people that made the other spin-off Sony movies were not allowed anywhere near it.

There is no reason it cannot be a game later. There are like a million LEGO games.

What makes you think either of those things are capable of impartial judgement?

For who?

Only a week to go! And then less than a week until Agatha All Along After That!

I am old enough to have bought an Atari at a garage sale and understood what it was but not old enough to really understand what the numbers represent. When I first saw this post I thought they were actually launching a new console. That would have been interesting.
