So, this is Gareth Edwards' new flick, The Creator. He's sold me. After Rogue One and Andor and now this, I'll give anything he does a look.

El Jefe has discovered the old The Californians SNL sketches, so I had to explain that Devin is named Barry now and kills people for money.

The Big Oof Quote in here that will send any experienced game dev straight into a fetal position is (re. #Overwatch 's originally planned PvE mode) "there really is no end in sight."

I'm really curious to see James Gunn's take on Superman, because that's a very different variety of character from what I've seen him do before.
He writes an amazing Hot Mess character. Now he's got to do a beacon of hope. Should be interesting.

I suspect the only possible way for CNN to not lose face during tonight's #CNNTownHall is if Daniel Dale is fact-checking Trump in real time during the whole thing.
I mean audio over Trump's audio, chyrons that say "Fact Check: False," the works.

I am REALLY looking forward to this. Babylon 5 was landmark, a 5-years series fully planned out in advance. A lot of it still holds up.
A lot of the cast has passed away, but the rest are all returning. I don’t envy the guy stepping into G’Kar’s boots.

Fun GQ listicle compiled by a bunch of people I know (and many I don't).
It has methodology flaws... individual favorites aggregated to a result, absent historical or cultural significance. So no Pac Man. Still fun, tho.

Ah. I see the Chief Twit now wants Twitter to be OANN.
Welp, the next $787M settlement can come out of his pocket. As well as any penalties FOX hits him with if Tucker's violating a non-compete clause.

I have just discovered that one of my favorite British panel shows (where London comics all show up for assorted shenanigans) is fully available on YouTube!
This is Taskmaster, and here is a prime example of the sheer villainy it perpetuates.

Philosophy Hot Take:
Plato was just a damn plagiarist, ripping off his teacher Socrates and changing all the names. Aristotle (Plato's student) was a plagiarist AND an asshole.

My #maythe4thbewithyou tradition... posting BTS #StarWars pics!
Yes, even the title crawl was a special effect.
Carrie Fisher famously snogged anyone in full makeup for a picture, but that's director Irvin Kershner getting smoochy with Vader.
And a 12-year-old Warwick Davis, serving Ewok.

Just got an interesting presser saying PlayStation Plus hit 47.4M subscribers.
So, that's good, but it's down from peak, even with 1M new subs in Q1. Says to me the new tiers are not popular. Multiplayer is THE Plus entry point. The tiers tried to change that, and haven't.

Ima play Redfall later today, but... damn, I wish the news was better.
But mainly, I wish I knew who let - or who made - Arkane make a live-service game, which they've never done before and is likely at the root of all the reported problems. Because it's not what they do best.

A LOT of unions work in Hollywood. But only one has to strike every three years, because nobody respects the writers.
Even though without us, you have nothing to shoot, nothing to say, nothing to light, nothing to sell.
So every three years... a reminder.

Week two of trying to establish a TV/FILM community at a stable, sane, sustainable place AKA...here.
I'm doing Mondays. @Nevslin is doing Tuesdays. @Glenn_Farrington is Thursdays.
So, ask about anything, but also look around...find your contacts. OK, FIRE AWAY...and please echo this along.
