    I bought it on Steam on day 1, with a significant discount (33% off for owners of the original), but as expected, it doesn't run.

    Maybe I'll get it for Switch, but probably not, or only after I get all my controllers fixed. But I think I'll wait for news on a physical release before double dipping.

    In short: not as good as the last Spider-man. But pretty entertaining. Story-wise and character development-wise it's lacking. The characters are moving around a lot, but there isn't much room for interesting dialogue. America Chavez is wasted, her introduction is lacklustre, she's more or less

    a damsel in distress

    for most of the film. Wanda's also wasted.. She's

    Scarlet Witch from the start, so I feel I missed her development from Wanda to Scarlett, there's a gap between this and WandaVision. Even more disappointing is the easy way they get rid of Scarlet.

    What I did like were some of the (trippy) visuals, and the fact Sam Raimi managed to sneak in a straight up horror vibe into a Marvel film in some of the scenes,

    The infamous Illuminati scene offered some cool fanservice, but other than that, the scene was pretty memorable for other reasons besides the cameos. I'll let you find out for yourself for now.

    I definitely won't watch that trailer. I've got my tickets reserved for tomorrow, so I'll see it then. Think I'll go to bed now and get up when it's time to go. :indeed:

    I hear there are some spoilers floating around the internet so be careful!

    Not a lot known at this point, new characters, and made by Gearbox themselves, and apparently releasing this year (Summer).

    Tales from the Borderlands might be my favourite Telltale game, if they do this well then I am excited. But that's going to depend on who's writing this.

    Sooooo, Russian Doll has apparently gotten a second season?
    I thought it was done after the final episode of season 1 :blank:

    Time to rewatch the first season and then dive into the second, I guess :D 

    They shadowdropped the 2nd season (2nd season was confirmed a long time ago)? I ended my Netflix subscription, but this was one of the things I actually wanted to see. But there was no news about a releasedate. I re-watched season 1 not too long ago. Maybe I'll ctach up in the Summer or at the end of the year (more likely). I don't feel like renewing Netflix for 1 month right now.

    Looking forward to it! In this case I'm sure a distributor over here will pick it up for a cinema release, that said, I don't know how quick they'll be (but I hope very quick). If I had the money I'd buy a ticket to Japan.

    That said.. The dimensional door premise is doing my head in haha. I saw a anime shortfilm a long time ago, about a person who traveled to other places using a mysterious door. That's all I can remember, and I desperately want to find out what it was and see it again.. So this reminded me of it once again.

    The Guilty - fantastic movie. It broke me, I'm sad. Jake Gyllenhaal is such a bloody good actor. And big props to all the actors/actresses who you only hear in that movie. I can't fathom how difficult it must be to convey so much just by using your voice.

    Highly recommended. Don't expect a jolly good time, though.

    It's based on a Danish film called Den Skyldige (literally the same). I've seen that film (years ago), and it's fantastic.

    I saw Belle Friday.

    Film overall was slightly disappointing, but still a good watch, I just expected more of it. The problem is anything that happens inside the vitual world, which is a large part of the film.. The visuals aren't interesting, and the story is superficial. There are interesting things going on, but this is is all in the real world, and unfortunately they don't show quite enough of that until the end. The ending was pretty good though. That said, I'm increasingly growing more fond of the soundtrack, I may actually get the CD.
