Prequel syndrome What's so exciting about a story that we already know the outcome of? edit: it's also why movies like NWH and Doctor Strange 2 have so much hype for them right now. You need to watch it to know what's happening next

525k likes in around 2 hours and a half or so? Not sure when it was posted exactly. Great number

Well, the sets and costumes look great, much better than the Vanity Fair shoots. I think they got the overall look mostly right. As for the story though... that remains to be seen. I am cautiously optimistic!

Right now I'm thinking OW around CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Subject to revision of course

I always knew this was the MCU movie I would be most hyped about since I first heard about it when they announced it But this... jesus they're really going all-in now are they

This is it folks. Today's last chance to send lists! Love is in the air

Hugo Weaving killed it as Elrond in terms of posture, demeanor and acting, but I always felt like he looked a bit too weird to play Elrond. Maybe it's just that I'm so used to his role as Agent Smith that I can't see past that. Regardless, I'm open to new interpretations.

It's not a gimmick, the fights are really well done in this show yeah it's on my watchlist. Really loving everything they're putting out right now.

Honestly I expected a softer drop. Like -5% week-to-week maximum

Imagine The Departed/Infernal Affairs but with lots of revenge-fueled action in the style of John Wick, but female-led, and you'd get this, in the form of a 8-episode mini-series. Also, the soundtrack is killer especially the song "Mediocre Life" that is an amazing synth wave composition.

I think The Expanse shows that MASS EFFECT could not only work but have an audience. However, I see 2 problems with it that The Expanse doesn't have 1. The scope. Mass Effect is massive in scope. It requires a huge budget, so many different locations, lots of things happening, world-ending events on the horizon, etc etc. 2. The alien characters. Whereas all of The Expanse's characters are humans, Mass Effect features many aliens as supporting if not almost LEAD characters who have huge amounts of screen time. That is a huge concern for budgetary reasons. And you can't cut them without risking to sink the story, and all except Asari characters have to be CGI for them to work. Now both of these issues can be alleviated by not adapting Shepard's story at first, instead focusing on the Human section of the backstory that is revealed in the first game. Less aliens, smaller scope, should be adaptable. But once Shepard comes into play... there is simply no way around it: the budget has to be huge for it to do its source material justice.

Yeah I've been had hard here.

Legend has it that Tele and family are still watching Endgame, now and until the end of time

So theaters are re-opening here tomorrow on Monday for the first time since December. I'm seeing a few screenings for NWH already 50% sold on tomorrow night. Really curious to see the Monday hold for Spidey For instance this is what one of the 6:45 PM showings looks like right now: And it's pretty much the same for Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursday...

I have 4 Korean ships very high in my top so hopefully yours too and KR gets some representation in there! Ultra-late FYC Windstruck (2004)

A 2nd season of WandaVision makes no sense right now. What is she gonna do, create another Westview? 😐 anything outside of a rethread wouldn't make sense with the title, and a rethread would be boring. So... what's the point? I vote for movie. Or simply a new show. Same star, different title

Well just to be clear it's only Quebec, so about a third of Canadian BO

Theaters are re-opening on Feb 7th here for the first time since Dec. 19th and I'm already seeing lots of tickets bought on the cineplex website. Tickets went on sale 12 hours ago. I would expect some decent numbers next week coming from Quebec. Lots of demand that couldn't be met at all (theaters closed right after OW)

Can we still edit lists until feb 12?

Almost time!

Canadians really can't catch a break with theaters since December huh ...

Holy cow this show is so fucking amazing. I basically binged the whole thing in under 3 weeks. This was so right up my alley, wow! I love it when money meets passion. That's when miracles happen (See LOTR) At the end of Season 2 Episode 5 I was.... utterly speechless. One of, if not the best episode of Television I've watched in my life. Holy crap! The show remains great throughout and keeps on churning killer episodes but it could never top that IMO. Basically no show could so that's okay A few thoughts concerning the post-Expanse reality we are in 1. No way in hell this doesn't continue. They have a gold mine here, and they know it. It's a satisfying finale but they're being smart about it and holding their cards as it there is a lot more to tell. Also this show is gaining in popularity every day, it's immensely more popular now than it was back in the Syfy days. 2. Adapting Mass Effect has never been more possible than it is today. The Expanse shows that it can be done. Get to work Amazon!! (For those wondering, Mass Effect is eerily similar to The Expanse in MANY ways, I could list them for a long while. It's basically the same base setting but jump forward another 500 years or so, and also written by people who take verisimilitude very seriously) Now there's only one thing left and it's reading the 9 books. I'm fired up and ready to go! And finally, Peace, Inyalowda

I stand corrected!!

is it a marketing-only sequence? Because the CGI isn't so good. Still doesn't really let us see much of anything. The narrator doesn't even have CLOSE to the gravitas in her voice that Cate Blanchett has, like it's not even close.
