  • Quentin Tarantino loves Disney-Pixar’s Toy Story movies, but he considers it a perfect TRILOGY. He doesn’t acknowledge Toy Story 4 as canon and refuses to watch it. Maybe more fans need to "decanonize" certain movies and TV shows from our personal canons.

  • There has been a lot of internet drama over Star Wars Outlaws, and the early reviews are mid-level at best. Yeah, the game is said to be very unpolished and runs at 20-30 fps even on higher-end PCs. It is clearly not optimized. Did Ubisoft rush this thing out before Assassin’s Creed Shadows just to make their Q4 look good?

  • Hollywood is in the middle of a "reset" right now, with productions being pared down, studios like Warner Bros. and Paramount having fire sales, and a TON of projects getting canceled. Tinseltown never rebounded from the dual strikes last year (le gasp!) and now more and more studios are looking outside of Los Angeles for production. This includes Warner Bros. possibly moving to Vegas (what?!) and Chick-Fil-A starting its own streaming service. No, I’m not even kidding...
