Babylon 5 fans are hoping Netflix’s big-money acquisition of Warner Bros. means the chances of a continuation of the much-loved sci-fi series will improve. But creator J. Michael Straczynski has insisted there’s a long road ahead for any positive developments. https://bit.ly/4qxnLyZ

okay so this take is extremely dumb

The Canadian government celebrates the US committing the crime of aggression against Venezuela, in violation of international law and the UN Charter, even as it calls for respect for international law.
I’m not surprised: Carney took a similar approach when the US illegally attacked Iran last year.

Because unreal engine 5 is dogshit
Red Dead Redemption 2 compared to Mafia: The Old Country - there should be no contest. One is old, one is new, running on the very latest Unreal Engine technology.
So why are people still saying that, from a technical perspective, Red Dead Redemption 2 is still better? bit.ly/45yG66J

Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.

Edgar Wright on how the success of ‘THE AVENGERS’ made him walk away from directing ‘ANT-MAN’:
“You want to put your own spin on it … [But] the whole franchise had blown up. There was a house style. The thing that attracted me about it had gone away.”

Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

Give the increased consolidation of the industry it’s hard to feel hopeful at all
James Gunn, on this week's Peacemaker podcast, talks about how Disney fired him from Guardians 3 after bad-faith right-wing trolls hammered the company. He recalls going through a dark time, realizing he had good friends who loved him, creatively realigning, and now he's running a movie studio.

I’m kinda getting annoyed when people dismiss the plot of action movies because they didn’t go for it. Plot connects us to the characters and if it’s messy and unfocused it’s hard to make the action feel worth it.
