I wouldn't watch a movie this long in theaters, but we're going to have a problem if the new Kill Bill release doesn't get a Steelbook for the physical copy. (Or if I miss out on preorders!) www.worldofreel.com/blog/2025/11...
‘Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair’ is Actually 4 Hours 41 Minutes? — World of Reel
I assumed it was the unified 248-minute cut combining Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, with an intermission — a version previously screened at Tarantino’s New Beverly Cinema — but it looks like it might be an even...

Also in here: DHS responded to the faith-led protest yesterday, calling participants “violent rioters” and “imbecilic morons” who need to “get a job.”

Asked about the statement, one UMC pastor who participated in the protest told me: "This is our job." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

Sometimes driving Laika's motorcycle is a smooth and fun process. Other times the game physics snaps like a rubber band, and staying upright is suddenly difficult. 😅

I'm still playing Octopath Traveler 2, and I'm now at the point where the bosses have become a real challenge. The game continues to be a lot of fun, and I'm enjoying how open it is with which paths I can tackle first.

The weekend has arrived! What do you plan to play or watch?

We're streaming more Laika on Sunday. We're finally in a story-heavy section and it's quite dark.

Offline we're playing Monster Hunter Wilds, the Darq bonus chapters, and Octopath Traveler 2.

Samus having a wisecracking sidekick in a new Metroid Prime game sounds like a pitch for an April Fools' joke, a "hey, wouldn't it be funny if..." scenario. That might be just for a tutorial section the press played, but it *would* be funny if that stuck around, for morbid curiosity's sake.

Again it’s not good that the most prominent leaders of the party keep insisting it’s a trap to talk about “identity” when the Trump administration is pushing white supremacy.
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
