Most actors are short as hell. Its a selection effect as much as anything as the super tall athletic types aren't usually theater geeks. Then you get aberrations like Chrisopher Lee at 6'5" and they look gigantic.

They do make a point of having that dog be center frame though, its not subtle at all.

Who else has a white collar job that has seen a marked increase in overall efficiency since everyone started working from home? While you have the people with kids who are trying to balance that with their home office situation you also have people who have gained 2 productive hours in each...

Part of what makes Clone Wars so good is the anthology nature of the stories which vary in scope and tone.

I finished it this AM... and I really REALLY wanna log into FFXIV right now...

Jesus fucking Christ give Filoni a movie already. The intro to this was just about perfect.

It seems that they will be not making as many PS5s for 'launch' as they did PS3s back in the day. Claims are not so only manufacturing issues during the apocalypse but also fear that the price is just too high for people to jump onboard with Day One.

This may be done in post that is not reflected in the pic.

I went to see the original film back when I was a kid and without having read the book. We walked out of that theater so staggeringly confused it was comical. I can now appreciate the Lunch vision for what it is, but that theatrical cut was a mess for the uninitiated.

Of course the villain is still very white and male.

No spoilers but this story is still the best Final Fantasy ever. This just cements that.

I love that we are a terrorist cell that uses public transport. Well that and people don't seem to react to the 7 foot tall muscled dude with a minigun where his arm should be.

Just started playing and still in the part covered by the demo so far. A bit more info in the final version with respect to controls and abilities etc and an additional cutscene I dont recall from the demo. I did get a kick when, after a fight, Barret went 'dun-da-da dun dun dun-ta-dun' aka...

Oh lord. Joel McHale is the perfect guy for this.

Stop and Shop has changed to only allow a small number of people into the store at one time. Masks are required, gloves are encouraged. Shopping aisles are now one-way and passing in the aisle is discouraged. They've eliminated the usual checkout lanes and there is only one checkout queue...

Yeah I just got the 'your pre-order delivery date has changed' email from them. Not surprising but very impersonal. Glad they posted elsewhere as well.

I watched some matches and I was not terribly impressed. I guess I like the cartoony over-the-top violence of OverWatch rather than something like this which seems far too patient.

If a Horizon Zero Dawn sequel is a launch title I would be a first day adopter. If not I'm thinking maybe wait for the inevitable slightly nicer version a year later.

DualSense marks a radical departure from our previous controller offerings The have a very curious definition of 'radical'

Just got around to looking these changes over. Much of it seems very 'meh'. As an Arcane Mage I don't miss using Fireblast or Frostbolt and having them around again seems like it just means there will be extra buttons on my bar that I can hit whenever I'm hit with a counterspell-ability...so I...

Science! (Plus some nice temporary buffs you can get by doing it)

That doesn't sound like a game that is supposed to be released in a month...

I dunno why but I'm amusing myself greatly just running around blowing things up with Moze. I think I'd rather be playing some new MMO, but there's a certain zen quality to mass murdering mayhem and discovering interesting quirks about the legendary guns and how they can be useful in different...

https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/coronavirus-prompts-vermont-to-order-costco-target-to-stop-sale-of-non-essential-items I understand their argument, but this seems like an odd move to make.

Been playing the new Lovecraftian DLC and it's pretty good. The new enemy types are pretty slick and the storyline / antagonists are actually much better than the main game's plot. That was actually true of the last DLC as well so it's clear they have writers who know what they are...

Right now would be the perfect time to release a new MMO... Me and my friends are really jonesin for good old fashioned online socializing

The Reapers, as a bunch of bladed tentacle worms, really did not look super friendly. I'm gonna guess they aren't going to be super happy with getting prank-called like that. La Sirena seems to be much more than a stock-average freighter. It has phasers and photon torpedos for fucks sake, how...

https://www.boredpanda.com/man-tested-positive-covid-19-coronavirus-describe-symptoms/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic This was a very difficult account to read. Obviously not everyone is going to have a reaction like this, but this doesn't seem like 'a cold'.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/24/magazine/coronavirus-family.html It's a long-ish read but I had been looking for such a 1st-person account of what it's like to have a non-life-threatening case of the COVID. Bottom-line being that it looks pretty damn awful and long lasting even if you...

The whole movie was, supposedly, based on the director's (Dan Scanlon) relationship with his brother after his father died when he was very young. So the core story about the younger brother seeing the older as his surrogate 'dad' was the story he wanted to tell. The setting and all the...

There also seemed to be a side plot about the magical creatures restoring themselves after being exposed to the magic staff. This wasn't fully developed though and I'm not sure if it was something that was meant to bigger and got cut down or what.

Premise of movie : Being a wizard is hard so we started using electricity and gas. Protagonist: Goes from level 1 to level 18 and is able to reshape reality in a single day.

It was decent. I feel large parts of the plot were telegraphed a bit much, but that was okay. Loads of little Easter eggs hidden in the background.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/16/816707182/map-tracking-the-spread-of-the-coronavirus-in-the-u-s That graphic, at first glance, doesn't seem to show much of a difference in growth rates for the states that have locked everyone inside vs those which had partying on the beach...

Am I misremembering or did Avery Brooks always say "I'm not black, I'm brown"?

Well you are forgetting that all Romulans are now gymnast-level ninja assassins.

I liked it. There was a bit of the 'oh c'mon how dumb are you??' bits here and there, but it was a nice update to the property as a whole. I'm also a big fan of Oliver Jackson-Cohen so that helped.

Fiance also was at WB Mason and was giving walking papers yesterday. This wasn't a 'we are furloughing people for the duration...' sort of thing , it was full on severance + PTO payout. I guess they had been wanting to do a total restructuring of the company for awhile and saw this as the best...

This is the sort of positive news I really needed right now.

As was forseen... But why announce the Disney+ release now? Who the hell is not just waiting until April 3rd?
