The most recent James Bond movie No Time To Die (2021).
The plot was like a Bond fanfic. Okay, great you got to do all the stuff to Bond that wouldn’t fly in previous runs:
spoiler
Bond finally spawns a kid after all that sex, actually loves some gal instead of using her, makes a mistake in judgement, and he maybe even dies, although no body is offered as proof.
Now what? That pretty much ends the franchise, because they’ve written themselves into a corner, and there’s pretty much nowhere to go without a reboot.
Re: Nosferatu
I also liked the Transylvania bits, the crumbling castle especially.
I enjoyed the physicality of Lily-Rose Depp’s performance as not-Mina, although her overacting got on my nerves a bit.

10·2 days agoI suppose it’s impossible to entirely rule out contamination, but the scientists involved are trying their best, and science is always “as far as we’re able to determine at this moment…” never “that’s the truth, and that’s that.”
6·3 days agoThat thing’s huge! That cylindrical thing at the back has to be the cable spool, and that’s obviously an RPG payload in front.
Imagine the lifting power needed to keep both of those, plus the chassis, in the air…
3·4 days agoThey gave Haro a hip hop beanie that stops his top flaps from opening to extend his arms.
The flaps will probably just open enough for the arms to extend.
Good experience and a good test for the design and features, if the Taiwanese aren’t already experts in building underground infrastructure to withstand bombardment.
1·6 days agoThere are actually quite a few casts of Rodin’s famous The Thinker statue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Thinker_sculptures including Cleveland, Louisville, Detroit, NYC, Washington DC, and San Francisco.
A bunch more “later casts” further down the above wikipedia page.
There’s probably one near you.
Other Rodin pieces usually accompany The Thinker in museums.
“I can’t do this powerful thing, or I’ll never see master again”
It seems these lines are too easily crossed…
Yeah, that looks incredibly protective… /s
For all the fan service and double entendres, this show does have some heart.
The mysteries are okay, but the direction and pacing feel off, and the characters and their dialogue aren’t interesting.
The whole thing of medicine vs. curses, you know which one is going to win in the end.
Paging that guy…
edit: Do they even say that in hospitals anymore?

This title is currently not considered “playable”, as the hardware requirement is too high. But it can be played from start to finish with decent performance on a good CPU, especially if you use the game’s patches.
Beats me. It does track the web manhwa pretty closely though.
I’m having a blast with this show!
From episode 1: Ojisan talks about the Shirley Temple-curled hairstyles of villainesses from classic shojo manga from the 1970s, which he would be familiar as he was growing up at that time:
Ayumi Himekawa from Glass Mask/Garasu no Kamen/ガラスの仮面
Reika Ryūzaki, aka Madame Butterfly, from Aim For The Ace!/Ace o Nerae!/エースをねらえ!
Eliza Leagan from Candy Candy
Loving the ED “Matsuken Samba II” too, more for the visuals than the song.
I’m of that generation where the Internet meant that “information needs to be free” but I’ve come around to paying for, aka supporting, (what is IMO) quality journalism and opinion (I’m not necessarily just referring to the Atlantic), especially my local news.
