Avengers

Happy 10th anniversary, The Avengers! (For showing here anyway.) The one I go back to most of the MCU.

The Quest

"LARP-ing goes big budget in the trailer for Disney Plus reality show The Quest"

Kids today.

J: Cosplayers got beat up when we were kids.

Moon Knight

Moon Knight 1.01 is pretty fun once you get past the opening which yeek.

1.02 pretty much lays out what's up, chooses a moral stance, and has an invisible monster fight.

1.03 is fighty and Khonshu is a bad debater.

Layla (ft. Moon Knight) 1.04 had some very varied portrayals of mythological beings.

1.05 and I want a Taweret plushie because (a) adorable and (b) I need something to hug.

The Princess Bride

"Every chance she has to be defiant, stand her ground, and get in a good insult, she takes."

A look at Buttercup's role in The Princess Bride.

Vampire Slayer Player

I'd like to play a proper Buffy game again. Our Mage game skewed that way, obviously, but not all the way.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer 25

Happy 25th anniversary to the premiere of TV's Buffy The Vampire Slayer!

Anne Rice

Anne Rice has died, aged 80.

The Lord Of The Rings

The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring premiered twenty years ago tonight.

Labyrinth

Labyrinth came out 35 years ago today. 

It's only forever 

Not long at all

Raiders Of The Lost Ark

I found a gap in the con schedules to watch Raiders Of The Lost Ark for its 40th anniversary.

Cloak & Dagger

Marvel's Cloak & Dagger (trailer) premiered three years ago and I can now watch it, so I have started to, and it's good, and pretty dang grim for a show about teenage superheroes.

J notes "At least that part was true to the comic."

Gaston notes "It kind of felt like a WoD show to me."

And yeah. ;

Two kids (in New Orleans no less) empowered by something they don't understand, which doesn't make their already harsh lives any better, and might be some mystical lineage that dooms them both.

The first regular episode ends with a 3D printed voodoo doll. That's some quality Hollow One foci there.

I'll take this as a good sign for the WoD TV/film development deal with one of the show's writers and producers (who also worked on The Punisher and Constantine series) co-leading it.

The Sandman

The Sandman cast looks great, use of pronouns in announcement also good.

WandaVision theory

I have no idea, I'm just along for the ride.

I love you Baby Yoda

 

The Mandalorian season two trailer

See if you can spot the moment I squeed.

Ray Harryhausen

Ray Harryhausen was born 100 years ago today.

What We Do In The Dark Side

New Star Wars movie from Taika Waititi

(excited Star Wars noises)

May the Fourth be with us!

Avengers! ... Assemble.

Pew Pew Pew

Next game, Star Wars. Recurring villains. Emotional complications. Really big space stations blowing up.

My gaming wishlist

Inspired by Christopher Turco, games I've been wanting to play or run for ages:

Playing as opposed to running Requiem 2 and Masquerade 5, a 1920s VtM game, running a Star Wars game with the big emotional impact of the movies as well as the action...
