And then there is...this?

Can you imagine the movies people will be able to make with AI in 5 or 10 years as the software gets better? It's gonna be crazy!

Finished it! One of the better game adaptations. Between this, Last of Us and Twisted Metal, video game series are on a roll!

Watched the first 5 episodes so far, I love it! I've only ever played Fallout 4, so that's all I have to go off of.

LOL, I read that long smile shot was because the director just waited a long time to call cut to the scene. But what a trooper holding it that long true or not! Also, her monologue at the table to her friend before that was also all done in one take, apparently. I saw X and then Pearl, since they were released in that order but it makes more sense to watch Pearl first now. Looking forward to this one!

Finally we get a follow up to Bariss' story! We never did see her again after CW season 5. Kinda funny they were going to execute Ahsoka but only imprisoned Bariss.

We're building up to the end! Not a lot for ep 10 other than Emerie is heading the project and they are using Force sensitive kids. Bonus appearance by Cad Bane! Ep 11 has more going on, Empire has finally tracked down Omega! I wonder if there was more to that plan about getting a tracker on the ship. Crosshairs missed but it feels like they may have had a contingency plan in place. I know they took the one off Omega but I feel like there is probably another they didn't find.

Finally we get Ventress! They didn't say or even infer anything from her book, so I guess that is for all the fans like me who didn't read it LOL. I'm starting to think I'd like a series focusing on her now.

And he's only stepping down as leader, he's still staying until at least 2027 LOL. What is it with some of these people staying in office until they're almost dead? And actually dead, in at least one case.

I guess I feel good that my new thread generated a lot of traffic! Rather light on discussion but I'll take what I can get.

So are the view numbers for threads accurate? I ask because I started a thread in the Superheroes section, Echo, and it has over 8K views already. Are multiple users going in and out of it frequently or what? There are threads here that are months old and only have a few hundred views.

Beverly Hills Cop! So I've never seen any of these and there is a new one coming out this summer, so I figured I would check the original ones out. First one is good! Murphy is pretty funny throughout, in fact you can't help but like him. One thing I really like about his character is he is always looking to be friends with the other cops, even when they are giving him crap. To him, they should all be buddies since they're fellow police officers. All in all, it's a pretty standard cop movie. Friend of cop is killed, cop breaks the rules to find and take the villains down. It's fun to see the trope of the rogue cop who the captain acknowledges is a good cop but is always screwing up. Oh, and this time is the last time, for reals! Next time it's your job! But probably not. There's a scene at the beginning that's pretty touching but I feel like it would be viewed a different way today. When Axel and his buddy are hanging out after not seeing each other for a long time, Axel asks why he came back and his friend is like "Because I love you, man" and there's a bit of a quiet moment between them. In the context, it's just two childhood buddies having a moment where they acknowledge they enjoy each other's company but I feel like today there would be the "What's this woke crap, oh are they insinuating some homosexuality in this movie?!" Which brings up, this movie had no love interest! There's just another of Axel's childhood friends but there is no romance there, just friendly bickering. I found that interesting since it's a fairly common thing for these types of movies. There is also a brief appearance from a young Damon Wayans, always nice to spot an actor before they became more well known.

Watched this on Disney+ over the last few days, it's only 5 episodes so it's a quick watch. I thought it was okay, mostly just dealing with the fallout for that character after the events of the Hawkeye series. It did bring Kingpin back, so that was a plus! Also, I kept wondering if this ties a bit into the Kahorri episode in the What If series. The symbols that she would see reminded me of them, although her heritage would have been a different tribe.

So what would be in the tanks or whatever they were showing Palpatine? Jedi bodies or clones, maybe?! Hey, maybe this is how Ventress comes back, she's a clone!

Mine is going to be 5 years old in a few months, so I'm starting to think about this, too. I built this one but now I'm too lazy to put another together LOL, I just want to unbox and log in.
