The problem is that kids today don't have classic role models like Dinobot from Beast Wars

My measured expert opinion on this is that it is so fucking stupid, my god. That Shadow of the Colossus remake was stunning; the studio could have accomplished so much more for them, given the chance. Indefensible decision.
Roughly 70 employees will be impacted by the Bluepoint closure. Bluepoint was working on a God of War live-service game until it was canceled early last year. The studio then spent the last year pitching and trying to determine what it would do next. Full story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Sony Shuts Down Video-Game Studio Bluepoint
The PlayStation subsidiary previously made remakes of games like ‘Demon’s Souls’

Five one-shot prequel comics to mark Rogue One's 10-year anniversary. Nice. Hope they do the same for Last Jedi. Will definitely buy the collected edition.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.
In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

In the minority here but I really loved How To Make A Killing.
It's not the kill-the-rich story people wanted and its not some thriller the trailer made it seem to be. But its Glen Powell's best since Hit Man and its packed with dark and dry humor.

How To Make A Killing (2026) Review: Glen Powell at His Best
How To Make A Killing (2026) is a film made by its cast, and it excels thanks to Glen Powell's inability to be anything but likable.

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

RIP Tom Noonan, a friend for 18 years. Often typecast as villains, he was an actor's actor, a unique playwright & filmmaker, a gifted composer, and a pianist with a sweet voice. My kids & I used to go to his tiny apartment for dinner (pizza). We'd have a few drinks & he'd start to play. Magic.

Amish Paradise for sure, but the Phantom Menace one (The Saga Begins?) is a close second

Just listened to a podcast about the film GoldenEye where they all agreed the theme tune was terrible. Unforgivable.
