The Streaming Voyage Of The Demeter

The Last Voyage Of The Demeter is now on Prime if, unlike me, you didn’t buy it on disc the day it came out (seven weeks ago...) after waiting a year and a half for it to get a UK release of some kind.

Bring Her Back trailer

Bring Her Back from the creators of Talk To Me.

A circle of salt around a person is one thing. A circle of salt around an entire house...

John Wick 5

Releasing film news at CinemaCon, yes, that makes sense. On April 1st, risky.

Especially when the John Wick news includes an animated prequel.

I do hope 5 will reverse the 4 sidetrack and get back to building towards John destroying the entire international crime league over the killing of his puppy.

And doesn’t have anybody in a fat suit, but that should go without saying.

Happy April Fools’ Day am I doing this right

V5 Empire 2.07

Tonight in Vampire: The Masquerade - Empire, the PCs found that the vampire working with hunters was doing it for moral reasons, which undercut their arguments somewhat.

Conpulsion update

Two weeks to Conpulsion and I have most of the quiz but not a write-in round.

Summer?

British Summer Time my ass, you ain’t barely spring and you sure ain’t seven months long.

Quantum Leap 2022

Quantum Leap (2022) is now on Channel 5’s catchup service here in the UK. Both seasons. It’s a fun wee show.

No PCs means no need to be normal

Idly considering having a clan with no PCs be deeply weird in my next Vampire game.

It does make me want to do a Big Team superhero game again...

Hrm

Oh, so no Marvels. :(

Well, it probably isn’t everybody, right...?

Avengers: Doomsday

The Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal video is strange enough that it’s probably good I haven’t found a convenient meme blank for the actor chairs.

“They’re bringing back Runaways?”
“Didn’t they recast her? Twice?”
“Cary Grant?”

“... Oswald the Lucky Rabbit?”

Faith Erin Hicks's The Mummy

Writer and artist Faith Erin Hicks has adapted The Mummy for Universal, issue one out now! Interview and preview here. And we see more gore in one panel than the original film!

Daredevil: Born Again 1.05-06

Strange to find myself thinking an episode of Daredevil was delightful, but here we are.

A classic setup, clever use of powers, and a surprising and fun guest star. (In an episode with some violence and language they would never be near in their home stories.)

So I suppose it being so standalone explains the double bill with a heavy arc episode.

It's gone. It's done.

On 25 March of the 3019th year of the Third Age, the Ruling Ring was dissolved in the flames of the Crack of Doom, and Sauron was defeated.
