I repeat - this is not a drill!

I want to see this so badly I can hear the screeching of metal as my desire pulls against the bonds of my decision to not reflexively see all the Marvel movies in theatre.

The In Memoriam thread seems to be more for short announcements and emojis rather discussion so let me take a moment to give a fuller rendition of my feelings: What The Actual naughty word?

There were some great moments in this! One or two ones that were maybe a bit over the top, heh. But I think they did a pretty good job wrapping it up and hitting some important notes. I put the spoiler tag on so we can discuss if we wish but I think the only real "spoiler" I have is that Mary...

The new trailer is out and... that looks a bit ouchy. I am looking forward to this - now with extra trepidation! XD

This came out yesterday and honestly I was not as thrilled with it as I thought I would be. I enjoyed it. But the story was not any more satisfying than that of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which I rather disliked on that account. The first two games in the Survivor trilogy felt more grounded than...

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...

I am not sure that I had heard before that Pixar was going to make a series but they showed the trailer at D23 and I am intrigued:

I was just looking for one of my old PbP threads and came across one that suggested I had last posted in it in 2022. That just seems... wrong. That was only two years ago, and I could have sworn I quit PbP closer to the beginning of the Pandemic at the latest. Certainly not the week before...

Darth Jar Jar lives!

I was just having this thought in regards to the next Wolverine after Hugh Jackman even though this movie plot is locked down at this point. But I think it would be interesting sometime to see a studio try to take advantage of the multiversal nature of their property to do a supercharged screen...

This is tangentially related to the "Are Superhero Films Dying?" thread, though I did not think of it while reading that. The question, as the title suggest, is are we due for some prestige-tier alien content that mashes together some Arrival-level theorizing with grounded, serialized narratives...

Pretty much everything I could have hoped for with a minor quibble about the continuing prevalence that a certain kind of injury is totally recoverable. Watched it with my Dad, who has not seen Clone Wars or Rebels, and he liked it too! The little alliance of bad guys they have going is rather...

While I do not believe jonrog1 to be substantially involved with the movie it just occurred to me that Blue Beetle might be a decent candidate for being the first movie I have seen in theatre since the pandemic began. I wanted to see Top Gun 2, but was unable, and I did not get an opportunity to...

Classically we speak of roleplaying games as allowing you to imagine you are a powerful wizard, mighty warrior, or checks notes dragonman mcdragonface. But how often do people use RPGs to explore the fantasy of having children, or alternatively being child free for a little while?

I am not asking as a matter of definition: obviously a dhampir is the offspring of a human and a vampire. Rather I am asking: what does that actually mean for the classic case of "vampire as turned human" ? The essence of a vampire is still essentially human as they are made from humans. But...

Came up today in a conversation that the Earth of precisely 100 years ago is contemporary with Golarion; and they are linked, both by Baba Yaga and the Egyptian gods. It occurred to me to look up what was going on in Egyptology 100 years ago and the discovery of Tutenkhamen's tomb was in 1922...

I feel like this thread has perhaps been done before recently and if so perhaps someone can helpfully point me toward it. But otherwise, as someone who has not played D&D since the 5E playtest, what is the iconic artwork of this edition? The stuff that will turn up in the equivalent of Google...

I guess this is it, eh? After almost nine years, The Flash has reached the end of the road. This is kind of the end of the Arrowverse proper too I think? It was too bad that Carlos Valdes was not able to come back, but there were some good moments in the finale. Nora cradling Nora was funny...
