I’ll be curious to know if it was just your theater or it the film is just “too loud”. Nolan makes great films, but this isn’t the first case of the audio being terrible.
I saw it at a nice theater who by all accounts knows how to set up films properly (and has in the past). However I definitely felt like the dialogue was difficult to hear (since other louder sounds were playing) especially at the start.
I agree, but you can still browse new reddit without logging in, mostly. Also Google still lists Twitter which also requires a login, so they were never going deindex it anyway.
Find Mitch. You have 10 seconds!
I agree that the massacre of the suitors was a little bit long-winded. But I think it had to be in order to give Tom Holland his moment of triumph and in order to make it believable that Odysseus might actually die.
I also loved that he didn’t need to kill them all, since they began to kneel before him.
I mean I suspect Coleman Domingo would play that part, but Keith David should definitely be involved.
Basically they’ve written the design document for the next game, which is why they can reveal the engine because that’s been decided on. It doesn’t mean they know the story yet, but they likely have a good general idea, because that would inform the design document.
For example if the game needed jetpacks, but that wasn’t an existing engine feature, then they have a plan for jetpacks. And if you NEED jetpacks, you probably know roughly where they’re going to be used, so you have some gameplay/story ideas mapped out.
But also a design plan and a finished product are very different things. You might plan for one thing, but create something very different.
So the game is probably still 4-5 years away.
Brilliant. The movie just flew by, you could have added an hour in there and I wouldn’t have noticed.
That being said, you can’t end every scene by having Odysseus and crew running to the boat.
I think John Leguizamo was my favorite character & performance. I only really knew the lead cast so his appearance was also a surprise. I wasn’t really locked in to the film until he dropped a dog off a cliff.
Samantha Morton was a surprise. I don’t think I’ve seen her in a blockbuster since Minority Report. Her Circe was disgusting and will haunt me for years to come.
Story of course is epic.
So someone else can correct me, but the architecture for consoles has gotten less complicated.
The GameCube, Wii & Wii U run on a PowerPC CPU architecture. Switch & Switch 2 run on an ARM architecture.
But the recent PlayStation and Xbox consoles are all x86/x86_64, which is the same as your PC. So these consoles won’t need recompilation.
For the Switch series, while ARM would need recompilation, it’s also hugely popular. I know Valve is doing some ARM magic, although I think that’s to ARM and not from ARM, but it still might be helpful. But importantly recompilation of these should be much easier.
This multi-year collaboration is set to begin in 2027, starting with the first reveals of three 6" scale figures at San Diego Comic Con (July 23-26, 2026).
The Legend of Zelda film releases April 30, 2027, so I’m guessing this is related to that. The film looks like Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom style, plus those are the most recent games.
So the first three will likely be Link, Zelda & Ganondorf, in the BotW style.
You will like Supergirl and be entertained. But it also is a mid film.
Honestly the bummer of Supergirl is that you can see a better film is almost there. It has the bones of a great film, but it just doesn’t quite have the meat.
People like to dunk on Gunn for calling the script amazing, and then see the film and wonder what he’s thinking, and I get it. But cut the wrong scenes from the script or film them wrong and yeah, you get a film that just doesn’t quite work.
Don’t get me wrong I have issues with the story, but you could probably convince me otherwise if you tell a slightly different story.
Just…not by Disney.
Except Toy Story 5.
Also the Lilo & Stitch remake last year made about the same as Minecraft.
The Moana remake probably sucks, but Disney still makes money.
Nowadays, 6. As a kid, 9, 11 or 12.
Make new movies
They did. This is a lead up to their new film.
In terms of it being a low effort cash grab… Yes? But also they’re putting films in theaters people want to see. Putting “old” films in theaters is pretty common. It’s probably one screen a day for a few days, it doesn’t take away from any other ongoing film.
I’m in the US, so they definitely have an Eshop and always have.
I’m sure it’s just different bundles over the lifetime of the system.
Oh interesting! So there must have been different bundles because my Wii U Mario Kart bundle came with a physical copy of the game and a special red Mario controller + plastic wheel.
But looking online I do see the digital only bundle existed.
My Switch 1 didn’t come with anything bundled and I brought a physical copy of Breath of the Wild.
But when I bought my Switch 2 I saw Mario Kart was digital and Legends ZA was digital, so I assumed this was a new change over starting with this generation.
It’s a special case, but the Switch 2 Mario Kart launch bundle came preloaded with Mario Kart World digital. All previous versions of Nintendo consoles with a bundle came with physical media.
But you could absolutely purchase a non bundle Switch 2 and a physical Mario Kart World (for $20 more).
And you’re right that so far every first party game has had both a physical release and a digital release.
“Jurassic World Rebirth” (July 2nd 2025) and “Despicable Me 4” (July 3rd, 2024) each did $100 million+ for their opening July 4th weekend. So historically people did.
Jarhead (2005).
The trailer pitches an action/adventure war movie. Think like “Saving Private Ryan” but more adventurous. What we get instead is a “kids go to war only to discover that war is boring, not fun and terrible” movie. Also it just wasn’t a good film.
In theory it’s genius marketing. As a movie goer I’m excited to go see a war movie. But then, like the movie itself, I discover war isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Except… I knew that already. Sometimes I just want to see a fun action movie.
Funny enough the film has three direct to video sequels (although sequels in name only) which are generic action war films.
I mean this movie is a crossover movie. That being said I’m confident they’ll explain who everyone is and what’s going on during the film.
Look at Infinity War. Hulk returns to Earth and everyone is surprised he is back. Do you need to have seen Age of Ultron or Thor Ragnarok? No. Hulk was gone, now he’s back. The Avengers broke up. Did you need to see Civil War? No. The film shows bad blood between Cap and Tony.
Plus look at a film like Shang-Chi, apart from a little connective post credits it’s stand alone. Sure Wong and Abomination show up, but you don’t need to know anything about them other than what happens in the movie.
But if you really want stand alone, look at animation. DC puts out at least a film a year, either completely standalone or “technically” in the same universe but it never comes up.
