It was such an unfortunate decision to cancel Lower Decks. I really liked that show.

Halo tried to do its own thing and had mixed results at best, but I did think it was on a much firmer footing in season two than season one. Another season and they might have righted the ship completely.

Look at just about any science fiction show: aside from some notable exceptions, the first season or two are generally terrible until they get their feet under them.

Not cool to down vote for having a different opinion

Is this movie any good?

Why doesn’t someone create a WiFi solution?

If you read the disclosures, you’ll see that there’s zero proof this is authentic.

I’m fascinated this is getting a 4K release, given its profile. Last released on VHS. Seems like a strange, somewhat subtle comedy, which is right up my alley. Stars Shirley from Laverne & Shirley.

From IMDb:

Completed in 1980 (production having begun that June), this film sat on the shelf for several years. According to a 1983 Rolling Stone article, the studio was unable to come up with a marketing plan for such a quirky, unusual film.

tl;dr Important leader in screenwriter unionization, wrote many movies you’ve likely never heard of from the 1930s to '50s, but many of her movies sound like they had a feminist streak (or at least a woman’s perspective) quite ahead of the time.

Her most successful creation was the Maisie series, starring Ann Sothern as the title character. Lucille Ball called Sothern “the best comedienne in the business,” and the series ran for 10 movies. They must’ve done something right.

It’s entirely possible that this is never released in 4K here (similar to Shin Godzilla), so if that’s something you care about, I would preorder now. Even though the bonus features don’t have subtitles, I wouldn’t even bank on them all being included anyway for the US release later this year. Japanese special features usually aren’t.

It’s really rare that I hear Godzilla 2000 is anyone’s favorite! Out of curiosity, have you seen many Godzilla films?

I prefer the later Millennium and later Heisei movies over Godzilla 2000, personally, but 2000 was good. I did like Minus One quite a bit more, though.

It would be nice if we could install the extra RAM and then boot Morrowind from the hard drive. We could disable the game’s config flag that forced it to soft reboot the console on load in order to free up leaked memory. Load times for that game would be so much faster.

It was actually probably more like the 30th cooperative two-player game (think Joust and Mario Bros.), but it was the very first side-view beat 'em up of any kind, as opposed to top-down brawlers like Gauntlet, top-down shooters like Ikari Warriors, or side-view shooters like Contra.

Double Dragon became the template for pretty much every brawler that followed, not only in terms of the viewing angle but also the gameplay and large sprites that allowed characters and enemies to have lots of personality.

Double Dragon begat Final Fight, TMNT, The Uncanny X-Men, The Simpsons, etc., but also Altered Beast, Bad Dudes, Golden Axe…

Highly influential game that was really fun to play.

At the risk of making some readers feel a little old, there are now several generations of people who have probably never used or handled optical discs.

No, a generation is 20-30 years, so there’s at most one generation that’s never used or handled these discs for music, movies, and video games. The Xbox 360 and PS3 were released in 2005-2006 and Netflix started becoming popular as a streaming service around 2010. So that’s Generation Alpha, starting around 2010.

I know this is pedantic, but these kind of “kids today have never used (somewhat recent technology)!” statements are always silly and made too early, because they’re designed to be shocking. It’s not like this stuff just disappeared the moment they were born.

Now, if you talked about driving with a stick shift, sure, there are maybe two generations of people that have never learned that, generally speaking. But no one ever says that because it’s not shocking and everyone already knows.

The movie’s theme: hone the mind, body, and spirit, achieve calm, and only use force as a last resort.

The game’s theme: let’s beat the shit out of all these guys!!!

It’s evidently a follow-up to the Seth Rogen Mutant Mayhem movie that came out last year.

I have a modded Game Boy Camera with a custom wide angle lens, a GB Operator, and lots of video calls. Sounds like it’s time to downgrade from my 4K DSLR feed!

Update: It just says “coming soon” on my Mac.

Financially stupid is entirely relative to someone’s financial situation and their level of obsession with Neo Geo. Also it’s $1,893 against the current extremely favorable exchange rate.

No, I’m not gonna buy it. Just saying.

At this point no one can act surprised when they receive a cease and desist. I wish creators like this would spend their time making their own games instead of piggybacking on established IP, but they continue to do it because it garners headlines like this. In other words, they’re trading on Nintendo IP for promotional reasons. If they swapped the player character and the level design, far fewer people would hear about it.

Yes, this is what I wrote in the original thread:

Welp. I have the PSP version but haven’t gotten around to playing it. Guess I’ll play the remaster on Switch instead.

It’s apparently set for early 2025.

“What is anime? Anime is…”

I must’ve seen that promo reel on ADV DVDs from the early 2000s a hundred times. It doesn’t seem to exist on the Internet these days, unlike some of the others.
