it would be mildly disappointing if there aren't a few cgi physics glitches or awkward background npcs in fallout.

Speaking of Fallout games...almost 10 years between Fallout 4 and today. The game came out in 2015.
I suspect the cost and risk to produce new AAA games is holding up a lot of franchises. The same thing has been happening to movies for years. The last major Star Wars movie came out in 2019. They have dozens of different shows and spinoffs but those are cheap to produce and can be used to fill out your streaming library. A new Star Wars feature length is at least a $500 million to produce. And those fickle nerds will pirate it anyway.

there are mishmashes though.SuperJail Warden wrote:

and probably others like this, or -ish enough?
also, street fighter and mortal kombat? how many mk movies so far?
now we have movies based on video games based on comic books? over time, i'm not sure the distinction is going to be a very crisp line.

Hmm I guess since video games are a unique medium, trying to measure them by comic book standards isn't going work.
I never watched the new Mortal Kombat movie. Not even the preview.
The costumes are legendary though

About the lack of Star Wars movies, the last was a steaming pile of shit.
we wouldn't have gotten the "more" memes without the new star wars movies.

Star Wars was never good. The concepts of Star Wars are better than the movies. Lightsabers, being able to choke someone across the room, etc.
Being able to choke someone through a tv.

I know that movie. What in God's name made you watch it? Disgusting. Too gross and obscene even for me.

I watched the Fallout TV show. It was really good. The lady in the show looks like a girl I dated.
She looks like George Russell.
I was pleasantly surprised by the show. Gave it an 8 I think.

I was surprised too. I was avoiding it until my girlfriend heard about it through her work friends. She had never heard of Fallout before. She really likes it.
The girl has the dark hair pale skin combo I am a puddle for.
I would wife up Anne Hathaway.

Slowly rewatching The Simpsons. Not all of it, not sure where I will stop. In the middle of season 7 and loving it. Next episode is King Sized Homer which might be my favorite.

I shut off a show after they did a musical dance bit. I can't do musicals like that.
The show is about Asian American males finding themselves and the confidence to be seen in America. Did you know there is a whole genre of "Asian American male empowerment" shows on streaming? Like the shows are about a nerdy Asian American guys and their struggles being bullied and not taken seriously.
It reminds me of black t.v. shows focusing on racism and slavery.
Anyway, the male character finally finding the inner strength to do something or another had a song and dance number attached to it. I had to turn it off at that point.
I don't know why shows feel the need to drop song and dance routines into them.

where i rolled my eyes was at the beginning where it kept showing screens of stuff. incoming call! staring at a laptop. make sure HP is in frame. engaging stuff. imagine spending all day looking at your phone and computer only to watch a show where people are sitting down staring at their phones and computers (e: in real life, you might be watching it with someone who's staring down at their phone every five minutes or so).
this probably sounds unfair.
truthfully, i don't mind musicals. i think they're a kind of nod and window to the industry past and culture. recalling mgm flair seriously or for lols on netflix or whatever is just what they have to work with i guess. but i could not have told you that this was boys season 3 though until i clicked and found out. completely out of my depth on that one.

can't stand musicals, always been allergic to them. they are an archaic holdover from a previous era, and not in a way that seems living or authentic either, to me. makes about as much sense as vaudeville or minstrel shows.
it's also just cringey and low class, historically then as now. musicals and the music halls were the popular version of theatre, dumbed down for the masses. i still can't stand the kitschy feeling of being in the west end (or i imagine, broadway). the fake glamour of it. the hammy over-acting. the caked on stage make-up. it's tasteless and gross. and it gives off that general 'glee club' vibe on the parts of the actors and the fans stood outside the side entrances waiting for autographs or gifting them presents of drawings they made or whatever. yuck. grow up!

a few of the ok musicals and occasional earworm stand out among a veritable garbage heap of their contemporary and in-decline shovelreel. also shameless minstrelsy from the days of yore that aged about as well as bugs bunny in blackface (a lot of that stuff should probably be kept in a figurative vault and only examined through the lens of history).
maybe the third or fourth time this came up, but my exposure to the genre as a kid by people who were into it is probably what made the stars align for ambivalent tolerance of the gaud, the bad and the ugly. speedrunning software packets at school with the teacher's broadway posters and 'Cats' teasing my peripheral vision was probably also a corrupting influence.
i don't have any recommendations, and certainly not for people understandably decided against it. it's like if someone who despised mushrooms kept getting waylaid by mushroom enjoyers with ways and recipes with which that person might enjoy mushrooms. "but you liked that soup years ago that had mushrooms in it." "stop sneaking me mushrooms you complete psychopath."
to mac, showrunners who keep forcing musical bits where you don't expect are probably like the people in the above analogy slipping mushrooms into your food.

I am going to see Louis CK live. Hopefully he doesn't whip his dick out at me.
I also recently saw another comedian whose show became a Netflix special. So that was cool. I got to see a Netflix special live

Just finished Vampire Diaries. It's 8 seasons, 22 episodes each season, 50 minutes per episode so it took me about four months. It was a great show and I always love the various takes on vampire lore and abilities. It's mostly a teen drama I'll admit but the writing and story are so good.
