    That brown brick looking thing behind the purple and red fire escape. Obviously.

    I legit love the sound effect they had for their robotic movement. The sort of giant servo joint sounds. Like the old and new '97 cartoon blaster sounds a lot too. I think it'd be hilarious to see someone do a photoshoot of the ninja Sentinel here.

    What's interesting is depending on which version of the sentinels you're talking about they vary in toughness independent of their size. The ones from the Byrne cover from early post Giant Sized days are remarked as being easier to deal with than previous sentinels on an individual level. It...

    Nobody else is appreciating this top tier Heat reference enough so I will.

    The one I'm looking forward to right now (outside of Predator: Badlands, and Die My Love, and so on) is Keeper. Tatiana in a horror flick. I'm so ready for it.

    I think Overwatch as an IP was a lot stronger than Overwatch the game. Especially considering the mainline game basically had nothing to do with the lore of the IP. Random battles PvP when the lore they built was a lot more GI Joe but with superheroes.

    Marvel Legends Two-Packs

    There's 8 total different color swaps throughout the game (if you include the Japanese exclusive variant) including all silver and all gold at the end. I prefer the green on white and the orange on orange "magma" sentinel variants myself, but I'll probably get any they put out for the dio. I'm...

    Marvel Legends Two-Packs

    I've got my 4 original flavor sentinels, but I only picked up one pack of these. Continuing my trend of grabbing every Sentinel they release to add to the horde. It's a sickness, it really is. They say I gotta go to rehab but I said no, no no.

    TBF, it at least seems like Overwatch 2 is a pale shadow of what OW was in the heyday. Definitely feels liek its figure prospects have fallen off. I feel like Rivals will probably get a solid half decade before it sops being popular enough for figures to be worthwhile. Apex Legends, it got what...

    What was the half-life on Overwatch? I'd expect around the same. Like all asymmetrical PvP games balancing will continue to be an increasingly problematic moving target until it becomes so much that they just relaunch it in a sequel. Blizzard missed the boat by not leveraging the Overwatch IP...

    That might be the last time Charlie Sheen enjoyed Charlie Sheen.

    How much of Strange Days is about the love of a good woman saving a dude who is stuck on a different girl he should have forgotten? A lot to be dissected there, especially considering Kathryn directed. I think it's probably too tidy to assume everything a director does in a 1-to-1 analog for...

    Animal Warriors of the Kingdom / Spero Toys

    The Samurai figures were a collab as I recall. That might be holding those up in the queue. If there's rough road for the main Spero lines I can easily see that one getting totally back-burnered until stuff resolves. I remember thinking when they were first shown that I wouldn't really but the...

    For Cameron it feels like a guy who knew his relationship had been over for a while trying to convince himself it could come back eventually. Missing the fire that used to be there. Actually, come to think of it, some of that DNA is probably in Strange Days too.

    Possibly hot take. Abyss is good, actually. I sort of wonder if some of the Abyss DNA isn't speaking to the marriage he was about to exit. Funny how art is often a self-portrait. I like it, it's Besson's creeper ass that ruined it for me. In a vacuum the movie is great fun.

    Yeah like, Substance for me falls into the space where it's a movie I might never watch again, I can't say that I especially enjoyed it per se, and I'd be very careful who I recommended it to, but I'm glad I experienced it as an art piece.

    TBF to Peter, from what little behind the scenes I've seen, I cannot fathom a guy who wanted to be the director on that film LESS than him. I don't get the impression he was arrogant on those so much as just done. He'd finished doing Tolkien, he just couldn't escape the gravity well.

    I hand it to Chris for taking that character all the way to the wall. He was a young dude in Hollywood and I think he could have followed (and kind of did, though not as successfully) on an Eddie Murphy or Will Smith track. But Ruby Rod is such a cartoon, and Chris really did it, even though...

    Oh, nothing at all, agreed. In fact, I kind of wonder if it wasn't Kathryn and other collaborators who were major components for some of his best stuff. Sort of like Lucas there, where other folks (including HIS ex-wife) saved Star Wars from itself. And of course when he finally went solo auteur...

    Thing is, he used to know this. He used to make movies that were genuinely exciting to watch and which still hold up even though the effects are chunky. I hated Titanic, but it's a more dramatic film. It's better than these. I think part of it is the aliens are so heavily first peoples coded...

    This made me check IMDB because I was certain he hadn't done anything outside of Avatar in years, only to find that he's actually constantly in movies that just look really forgettable playing guys with names like "Jack", "David" and "Rick". When you can't afford a Hemsworth and you don't want...

    Avatar is... sure a movie I've watched once. Like, it's complicated because it's Jim Cameron and he's undoubtedly putting in the work on it on a technical level, but the plot is just... meh. It's the most expensive 'meh' movie I've ever seen. And the sequel felt the same. Like, I should either...
