Mr. Vee

it makes sense, and he was in charge of one of the teams, so i could see it.

They seem to be fusing a bunch of different stories from different eras into one, from as far back as mutant massacre but with elements as recent as HoX/PoX. The show was always good at fusing comic semi-coherence into a simplified thread so i'm here for it

They weren't. He wasn't even attached to them until waaaay later

I remember Ghost was part of Cage's T-bolts but don't remember anyone else being one. I've not read the full runs though

Those points granted, it was still much better than the comic version

One hopes it's the good Guy Ritchie rather than the other Guy Ritchie but 'from the director of Sherlock Holmes' bodes ill on that front. Speaking of Guy, interested to see what happens with the series version of the Gentlemen later this week. the expand-a-movie-into-a-series thing seems to be a whole genre now. Just finished the first season of Sexy Beast, which i liked quite a bit more than the movie which I remembered as fairly boring aside from Ben Kingsley yelling.

I assume you've seen Slow Horses, which has almost caught my favorite spy show Spooks (which I know you've seen from another thread), and the Americans. soooo Deutschland '83? A Spy Among Friends? The Informant? The Ipcress File (the recent show)? some of those are slow burns even at my watch speeds though. I've got nothing on the movie front as I barely watch them anymore.

I was hoping for a, but it was more b. If you're not compelled to watch it I wouldn't try. Having said that I didn't find it as causing-me-pain-turn-it-off-and-burn-it bad as Venom 2

I forced myself through them begrudgingly. Kevin Smith has the Mierdas touch for me. Glad some people like them though.

My favorite bits were her acquaintances, most of whom were reservation dogs cast members, but sadly it kinda seemed like they were doing res dogs fanfic.

You've only yourself to blame

Lost me at Zack Snyder

when you put it that way it sounds like a Bialystock and Bloom production

I generally avoid trailers for things I'll eventually see but saw a bit of this one walking past sportsball. I genuinely can't believe they expect anyone to pay to go to this, it just looks ridiculous. Hoping my trick of expecting the worst movie ever made and then being pleasantly surprised will work, but that's been failing me a lot lately.

Did you make sure to unlock your destiny slot, which is where ageless fits? That's a ways past 50.

Reinstalled Avengers and am liking it pretty well playing the campaign instead of whatever i got into last time. It's flawed but cool and suitably cinematic. A couple things that bother me are they decided that 'toggling on' sprint means you run until you jump and land and then have to toggle it on again (with the screen telling you so if it's necessary for what you're doing). Seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of what 'toggle' means. The other is that I keep getting alerts that better gear is available every two seconds but there doesn't seem to be an auto-equip better gear setting. It might be that I'm just too early on and that there's gear later you might want to keep on at a lower level but it's not shown up yet so seems an odd choice. Generally the controls are pretty bad, but I've played worse.

My top steam time is 509 hours in NBA2k16, which i got either free or basically free in a humble bundle, don't remember. But seeing as i've lost years of my life to CoH two different times and the sub was cheap the first time around, it's still the all-time champ.

that last ep 5 line was so cringe

Just finished Fall of the House of Usher on the Nettedflix. Thought it'd be one of those 15 minutes and nope out series but ended up really liking it. And is only the one season so no cancellation on a cliffhanger worries

assumes everyone's seen this by now, but just in case

☝️ reminds me of the Philomena Cunk line to the effect that Games of Throne was good if you wanted to know what all the suspects from Midsomer Murders and Morse and that were doing back in dragon times
