    Whatcha reading?

    Wife recommended I read this after my last book as a good follow-up and she was correct. About half way through and this is great. A really good take on the original source material that's told in a very unique manner.
  2. Disney needs to do more Cruella and Maleficent type films and less of these straight up remakes with minor changes that seem to offend everyone.
  3. Let's all enjoy Prestige TV Star Wars while we get the chance.
  4. It ramps up but it's a bit of a slog. They're just making shit up at this point and I don't enjoy the adult portions at all because it's just dumb. But my kids love it so we keep watching. The portion where they're young is much more enjoyable. There's supposedly 2 more seasons since they're just now in the 2nd summer and they get rescued 2 years after the crash. I believe they get rescued after the 2nd winter.
  5. Yeah but Lilo & Stitch is going to do a shitload of business. I think it's more people just might be tired of old animated movies being redone.
  6. Chelsea's read on Saxon was tough but fair.
  7. Excellent finale. It really sticks with you. Yes, Innie Mark is a bit of a teenage bitch but you understand why he does it. Plus he did what he said he was going to do in the first episode, get Ms. Casey out. The marching band scene was fantastic. Let's hope it doesn't take 3 years before season 3 comes out.
  8. Yeah but illegals and trans people.
  9. Finance bros isn't really the issue since Disney doesn't need them. The issue is more Disney isn't seeing any benefit to new ideas and stories since the public rarely supports them now. The last non-sequel animated hit for Disney was Moana. That was 2016. Strange World and Wish did poorly. Raya and Encanto were casualties of Covid and Disney+ coming online. Maybe Encanto cleans up if it came out today instead of 2021. On the PIxar side, It's a similar issue since Coco was the last original hit and that was 2017. Onward had a chance to do well but then Covid killed the box office. Elemental did okay, better than the last original before Onward which was The Good Dinosaur. There's some mediocre content in there for sure and I don't lay all the blame on the public. It's just there's also very little evidence that original content will do well going forward. I guess we'll see how Elio does. After that, it will be a while before we see any new content that's not a sequel, prequel, or offshoot.
  10. From what I've seen online, people think Rachel Ziegler is really good in it and Gal Gadot and the CGI dwarves are fairly terrible. We'll wait for Disney+.
  11. Even if the sequel sucks, it doesn't change how good the original was. Frozen, Moana, Inside Out, and The Incredibles aren't thought of less because their sequels were disappointing. At least the original team is returning for the sequel.
  12. Boogaloo eléctrico
  13. Why not? They just turned a Disney+ Moana series into a billion dollar movie and Inside Out 2 also did a billion dollars. Frozen 3 & 4 are in production. Toy Story 5 comes out next year. At least they're trying something new with Elio though audiences have shown they really don't care for new offerings.
  14. @JamesPearceLFC Trent Alexander-Arnold targeting April return from high ankle sprain, while Ryan Gravenberch set to be assessed by Liverpool after leaving the Netherlands' squad due to an injury he suffered in the Carabao Cup final. #LFC

    Whatcha reading?

    I thought this was a great book. An amazing story of escaping slavery using the South's own rules of chivalry against it. Then parts of the nation conspired to send them back to slavery in order to "keep the peace".
  16. Why would they have Gaitok do that when he's obviously going to break into their room to find the gun like the manager did in the first season?
  17. Best episode of the season so far. I can't think of a monologue that went in such a wild direction from what you're thinking the person might say than Rockwell's. Rick's reaction was so great.
  18. Just hope we come back from the break and get a win against Everton because we're all going to start feeling really tight if that doesn't happen. I hope the moment is not too big for Slot. Perhaps spend the next two weeks figuring out how to get Diaz and Jota more involved. I think teams have figured out how to handle Mo. Add to that no TAA for who knows how long.
  19. Feels a bit like PSG broke them.
  20. This team needs to figure out some shit. They are getting destroyed by a team they should easily handle.
  21. Maybe we try to get the ball inside their box in the 2nd half, Arne?
  22. Hope VvD enjoyed his look at that.
  23. We've been asking for that all game. What the fuck are we doing out there?
  24. Are we saving running an offense for the 2nd half?
