Misery Guts

Metacritic are reporting that the review embargo for this lifts on the 14th now. Not on the 11th as initially reported. Damage control from Microsoft?

Saw this last night. Absolutely loved it. The best indie sci-fi film I've seen in a long time. Really atmospheric, great world building and very good performances from both of the leads.

Uh oh. https://www.looper.com/143953/another-x-men-dark-phoenix-test-screening-bombs/?amp=1

Really great casting for this so far. Looking forward to seeing who's going to play Harkonnen twisted mentat Piter De Vries and the Baron's other nephew Feyd-Rautha.

The casting continues. Charlotte Rampling to play Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam. Perfect choice for this character I think. https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/charlotte-rampling-joins-dune/

Chris Hemsworth is talking very much like Thor in the trailer and it really takes me out of this. Couldn't he just have used his Australian accent? I know it's set in London but it's MIB: International. His character could be an aussie in this movie. It's really jarring hearing his Thor voice in this trailer and probably will be in the movie too.

I'll also be glad to see the back of the Diablo like loot system of Darksiders 2. I remember being very confused as to what to keep, buy or sell at merchants in D2. As has already been said a drop became more of a chore than an exciting treat after a while. Not at all surprised by the varied review scores. If fans of Darksiders like it though I'm in. I want to see the series story told in it's entirety and am very happy to support this. Pre-ordered as a Christmas treat for some good old fashioned Darksiders festive gaming. This is £35.85 on PS4 and Xbox One at Base.com at the moment.

That's a criticism? It's based on the works of Stephen King. Seems quite appropriate really.

The general consensus regarding the finale so far appears to be confusion. This is good. We could be deciphering what happened here for years. Lynch you magnificent genius. Will watch it myself later... *ominous lynchian sounds*

I'd highly recommend that you watch Lost Highway and Eraserhead too.

A very interesting article offering a possible explanation of how Dougie and other Twin Peaks dopplegangers came into being. http://www.indiewire.com/2017/08/twin-peaks-theory-dougie-tulpa-1201866680/amp/

Ditto why Chrysta Bell is playing televisions most unconvincing FBI agent. Although despite Lynch's self indulgent casting choices season 3 has been nothing but an unremitting captivating joy so far. It'll be sad when it's all over. Only two regular episodes and one double bill to go. I don't think anyone can possibly imagine what Lynch has in store for us over the next (last?) four hours of this wonderful show.

With the PS4 stuttering patch deployed and (mostly) fixing the launch day bug I'm having a lot of fun with this. Also as a fan of Rick and Morty I'm delighted to see Justin Roiland as the voice of the Blitzball in one of the game modes. http://m.imdb.com/title/tt3847112/
