I've already purchased my ticket. I'm very fired up.
Also, that Krypto popcorn bucket is just precious.

My gut tells me that the ensemble of characters also aren't going to take up a ton of screen time in this. I'm thinking 1-2 scenes for each, just to introduce them.
-
It's still hilarious to me that there are people that are just nitpicking literally everything they see from this because they are determined to hate it, when pretty much everything we've seen points to this movie being awesome.

I have a few friends that haven't played the game and don't intend on watching season 3. I thought this was bad. You had a really long production time for 7 episodes and a budget that ballooned and the end product was something where you can't even see where that budget went. Infected were far less prevalent this season compared to last. There is also so much happens on a green screen. One of those friends that didn't play the game and is a working actor doesn't see how HBO lets this go on to a 4th season unless S3 viewership is through the roof. I'm inclined to agree with him and we'll probably end up getting a Deadwood-esque ending.
Myself? I don't think I bother with S3. I gave it a fair shot even after episodes 2 and 3, but worse than the game, which just made me mad, this makes me feel nothing. I'd rather this series create a debate among people than just leaving them empty.
I also thought that if HBO was going to give a Sony game such a huge budget then it would have been better spent towards something like God of War. Just go balls to the wall and make a metal as fuck series about Kratos seeking to kill one god after another.
Honestly I agree that Sony has other games better suited to a long form series. GoW, Horizon Zero Dawn or Ghost of Tsushima have way more mileage in their stories.

My thoughts on The Last of Us season 2, is that it was always going to be a challenge adapting this game to screen. There were multiple masters to serve, and it is such a narratively weird story, idk if it was ever going to come out in a fully satisfying way.The people that loved the game are probably split on how it was changed. The people that don't like the game are going to have the same issues with the show that they did with the game. The casual viewers who never played the game may not care about the story shifting to who they may perceive as the villain.

So I fully expected Rogue One to feel like a different film after watching Andor. What I *didn't* expect was for A New Hope to feel so different after watching all of that. "Improve" isn't the right word, but it absolutely has been reframed, and the stakes feel very different.

Idk why I was so invested in this, but I was very happy to see that B2 was happy and loved. The only droid with depression and an existential crisis. I was going to be so upset if they all just forgot about him.

For all the hate that "Disney Star Wars" gets from the worst parts of the fandom, they produced probably the best thing in the entire franchise with Andor. It completely recontexualizes A New Hope and just turns Rogue One into a crushing gut punch. Luthen's story ended on an extremely appropriate note, with no extravagent scene or dramatic final moment. He lived in the shadows getting no credit, and died the same way.
I really hope season 2 gets the steelbook treatment like season 1 did.

Adam Silver will present a formal proposal to expand to 32 teams during the owners offseason meeting. They'd begin play in 2029 or 2030.
If they go with it (expected), the franchises are probably going to Seattle and Las Vegas.
If/when this happens, Memphis and New Orleans almost certainly become East teams, yes?

Now I'm more convinced than ever that the league had a hand in forcing the Luka trade in the first place. It all feels a little to convenient. Also, they don't want their next big prospect stuck in Hornets/Wizards purgatory.

I still can't believe how good this show ended up being, because I couldn't think of a character that I'd be less excited to see a show about when it was announced.

Episode 8 of Andor was every bit as powerful as the prison stuff from season 1, if not moreso. I knew what was coming, but it didn't make it any less gripping.
Episode 9 was also great, and Mon Mothma's speech REALLY hits home.

Just got back and thought it was fucking fantastic. A lot of fun where it needed to be, but also shockingly mature dealing with themes of depression, loss, addiction and loneliness. Kneejerk reaction has this in the upper half of MCU flicks.

Completely serious question; do Mavs fans even want to see Dallas win Friday and get the 8 seed?
I wanted them to start tanking weeks ago, but Phoenix was so shitty they beat us to the bottom.
-
That dumb shit Nico Harrison managing to take a shit on Dirk Nowitzki after all this has put him at the top of the all time Mavs villain list. Say what you want about Mark Cuban, but he and Dirk spent 25 years building up good will with the Dallas fanbase, and Harrison and Dumont managed to piss it way in 3 months.

My only real disappointment with this season, is that they didn't do the big, epic "one take" fight scene. I thought we'd get it with Frank/Matt vs the Task Force.
Otherwise, they nailed it and just cranked up the anxiety and hopelessness a lot of us feel in real life. The writers must have been on some Simpsons level future forecasting, because, for something that was written months ago, this episode was just eerily similar to where we are in the real world.

I'm so glad we circled back around to Bullseye as the real endgame of this season, with Vanessa pulling the strings. This episode probably felt the most at home with the original series.

Part of me wonders if that is just him burying the lede on him possibly being in Spider-Man.

Great episode this week. Outside of the first episode shocker, this has totally landed with me.
Matt and Frank vs the task force in the finale is going to totally rip.

Kamala is probably my favorite MCU character currently, and I love her family, so seeing Yousef was very cool, and I loved that episode. About as close to "filler" as a show like this will get, but I'm also not one of those people that hates that type of episode.
I do like the subtle thread of Fisk slowly putting weight back on.

Hope this wasn't already posted, but I've been obsessed for months.

Dude if they "caved in to fan demand" by bringing back a bunch of the Netflix cast just so that they could shoo them away in the first 15 minutes or only have them pop up to give Matt a cameo pep talk, a whole lot of people gonna be mad...
It's me, I'm people.
With that said, I know there were set photos of Frank in costume, so I do expect to see him later.
-
I didn't realize how badly I needed a Murdock/Castle scene, but that ruled.
Fisk being subjected to the most dogshit song of all time, in multiple languages, was pretty incredible.

I can't wait for the meltdown from the usual chuds when they realize Frank Castle fucking hates cops. Very happy they made this a plotline.

Cooper Flagg is great and all, but Nico Harrison can still eat ass.
