I think that's going a little too far, but I'm not entirely opposed.

I'll believe it when I actually see it in the cinema, but at this point I'm interested.

Media for Agatha: Westview Gazette Updates
Anduin replied to Meredith Quill's topic in Agatha: Darkhold Diaries
Wasn't it retitled Darkhold Diaries from another name? I say that it clearly needs yet another name. -
In The Media: What Say You?

Julien Gauthier did some concept art for ROP. Someone said he was the lead art director? He lists himself as freelance. Either way, he has some good pictures, I really like the first one, Sauron and Galadriel together. Anyway, enjoy. -
The Business: News, Rumours, Analysis, and More

Since I don't think I've ever seen a technical thread, I suppose this goes here. Why is sound in modern movies so bad? Multiple reasons. Focus on the visuals, so the sound people are left out in the cold. Actors are now learning the wrong way to deliver. As someone whose hearing has never been great, and not getting any better, this is really annoying. And it seems like there's no one in charge who cares enough to reverse the trend. -
FilmNight: Movies you watched recently
Anduin replied to Rushmoras's topic in Everything Else Movies
The Running Man. 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger. The premise, Ben Richards is a cop who's framed for firing on unarmed civilians. He winds up on a game show where he has to get through an urban wasteland while being hunted by some colourful maniacs intent on killing him and his fellow contestants. Thing is, Arnie is just that good. First he kills the maniacs, then with some help starts a revolution. Wait, didn't this movie used to be fun? I don't remember the last time I watched it, but it's now one of those 'way too close to home' movies. Selective editing, reality TV, deepfakes, it even predated American Gladiators. While it's still somewhat fun, it's also somewhat disturbing. As a society, we haven't fallen far enough that this is actually plausible. Not yet. Yeah, it's fun, but it's also now a little worrying. -
I tried arranging my travel around it, but I'm going to be flying home that day. Typical, the number one movie I want to see this year, it happens right at the most inconvenient moment. A week either way, it'd be fine. Hopefully I'll recover from jet lag quickly and see it in the following days, and I intend to stay mostly offline until I've seen it. Hey, you know something odd? Fallout, Planet of the Apes, Furiosa. That's a lot of post-apocalyptic content within two months.

But we have more access to porn these days, we can skip the entree and go straight to the main course.

Looks better than the other trailer, but still more of a wait until streaming than want to see it right now. Maybe if the reviews are good.

Why Grammar Matters: A Place To Discuss Matters Of Grammar

Okay, I'm not sure about a word. The past tense of to make a prophecy. Prophecised? There's prophesied, but it just doesn't look right to me. -
So in the upcoming returning X-Men cartoon, X-Men '97, Morph will be non-binary. Makes sense for a character who can radically change their shape, right? Apparently some people are already up in arms about it. But do these people actually read the X-Men comics? Did they watch the old cartoon? See, the X-Men have always been stand-ins for oppressed minorities. The actual minorities have shifted over the years as creative teams, politics, and acceptance have changed, but that's the general gist of things. It's my suspicion that some people go looking for minority representation to complain about, regardless of the source material. Anyway, while the trailer doesn't grab me, I'm happy for other people to have nice things.

I completely forgot that. It's a very good point.
