A new trailer for Cruella dropped this morning. Stars Emma Stone

Has some very Joker / Harley Quinn vibes to it. 

I might give it a shot.

Trailer looks great!

Looking forward to the movie.

Well, that was depressing.

It was one per order, and you could do as many orders as you wanted.

Oh! I thought it was one per person or household or something. Back to the website then!

VERY easy buy.  Much better exclusive purchase than last year.  I snagged Hellfire Club, the Logan 2-pack, and Cobra Commander.

If SDCC runs next year I assume we'll be back to the same sheetshow as usual.  

I try to stay away from action figures in general (that's a hole I can't afford to go down  ), but I had to pick up a Hellfire Club set.

They were limiting pre-orders to one, but I think I'd like to have another to be able to take them out of the box and set up among some of my statues.

Great review as always!

Like you, I was really fascinated by that first portrait and thought it was absolutely incredible.

I had interest in this statue when it was first released, but it was priced out of what I was willing to pay. Knowing that you got this on sale and that it might go up on sale again definitely has me reconsidering it!

But the film-makers didn't know what do to with Finn or Kelly Marie Tran's character Rose, Boyega said

This suggests to me that maybe they shouldn't have been in the film(s) from the start.

I'm going to agree with those saying "That's Hollywood".

Particularly for this trilogy, when TLJ seemed to take it off the rails and RoS was about UN-doing all of that AND trying to tie up everything in the end, there just wasn't enough screen time for characters not named Rey or Ren.

Them's the breaks

Not really digging the CGI here. She looks too . . . fluffy(?), furry(?), something. 

Other than that, the trailer has my interest peaked.

That's what I was afraid of. have a few larger statues. 

 

If your a bit of a Do-It-Yourself'er, this guy posted a video of a set of pretty impressive custom displays he created using relatively common stuff he was able to find at Home Depot and Amazon.

They look cool. But not $369 cool. 

Yeah, neat idea, but outta my price range.

Picked this up today from a friend, I’ll admit I don’t know much about D&D, but this figure looks awesome, the art on the back is great, might try to grab a few of the others now

Nice! I remember having that guy and the silver knight growing up.

Many an epic battle was had between those two!

'So once the MCU does X-Men then it will be better' unfortunately misses out on the Fox X-Franchise films that have stood out.

As a fellow X-Men fan that has loved these characters since the 70's I'm disappointed in my fellow X-Men fans. But when the MCU introduces the X-Mutants I'm sure I'll be more satisfied with them.

Let me clarify - I was waiting for Dark Phoenix to come out on HBO, not for the X-Men to hit the MCU.

I've thoroughly enjoyed many of the Fox X-Men movies (X2 is my favorite, followed closely by First Class), but unfortunately was so disappointed by the last one (Apocalypse) and was so underwhelmed by what I was seeing for this one, that I had no desire whatsoever to see this in the theaters.

I still haven't seen Logan or the one before that yet when he's in Japan. I still think X2 is the best one. It's not perfect. And I expect when the X-Men are part of the official Marvel Film Universe then we will get something far better. I imagine it will be as cool as that scene when the Avengers assembled in New York.

 

I do want to see the New Mutants movie. And I see Dark Phoenix is on HBO. I'm not really looking forward to seeing it. Which tells you something about these movies when a guy who has many X-Men comics, posters, and statues isn't excited about the movies.

As a fellow X-Men fan, that's what I was waiting for too. I ended up watching it a few days ago. It was . . . .  ok, I guess.

I've always enjoyed Fassbender as Magneto, so it was worth the watch just for that. 

I am glad I didn't pay to see it in the theater though.

Nice! Big fan of Rosario Dawson.

Huh. You'd think this would be an opportune time to launch a streaming service with everyone being told to stay home.

The *only* reason Netflix released both The Irishman and Marriage Story into theaters *at all* was so they would each qualify for the Oscars.

Both were intended as primarily streaming releases.

That was my understanding as well. 

Didn't Netflix buy that one theater for the same reason -- to get it's movies qualified for the Oscars?

I don't know how close they have to get to my house... but the times they claim I wasn't home are on security video with plenty of recording before and after and they never drove up or tried the doorbell.

This pisses me off about the Amazon Prime delivery drivers. They NEVER ring the doorbell.

It takes a whole 2 seconds to do so, but instead, they'll drop the package near the door, take a picture of it and then bolt.

I'll only know that something got delivered because my Alexa device will go off or I randomly check to see if something I'm expecting has been delivered. 

Why not just tweet at Snyder directly and ask him?

Loved watching Farscape

I'm a farscape fan. I watched the poop out of that show...alone. And I don't think I've ever met another soul that did...

I loved watching Farscape (another show that met it's early end via SyFy, although we did get a movie to finalize things). Hands down, one of my favorite shows ever. I made sure to download the complete series to my tablet when Amazon had it available to do so for free sometime back.

That's promising.

Ahh yes, another series on SYFY that made it to Season 5, so time to cancel it.

While this season has admittedly been a little less than previous ones, it's still been entertaining overall and I've enjoyed it. 

I'll give Vagrant Queen a shot, but other than that, I've got no real reason to watch the channel anymore.

My guess

1 = Elektra

2 = She-Hulk

3 = Valkyrie

They look more like horns. Maybe I just need to see better pictures.

As long as he's not writing the dialogue...

It was a sad day for me when Scarlett Johansson stated she did not believe in monogamy.

Doesn't that mean that you still have a chance?
