Watched all of No Game No Life. A fun little amime series about a pair of super gamers called to a world where everything is settled with games. And some of the games played get pretty wacky and some really clever twists and setups for each of the major challenges. Its up on Crunchyroll.

Currently re-working through Sword Art Online. First episode has a quick little homage to what I am pretty sure is Gary Gygax. Series about players trapped in a deadly fantasy VR MMO that goes in some interesting directions. Second arc features a sylvan themed MMO and the third shifts to a Sci-Fi/Post Apoc mmo. Also up on Crunchyroll except for the movie.

And in WTF movie news. Micheal Bay will be producing a live action... Dora the Explorer. Except now shes in high school because nothing says Dora the Explorer like sticking her in school. Apparently eventually she will pick up the monkey and head off to the jungle to save her parents. Um Bay? You sure you didnt pick up the new Tomb Raider script by accident? :D

The explosions and gun fights are going to be epic.

On a related note...why in the fuck is there going to be a live action Dora film?

So Dora can explore the wonderful world of sex after she loses her virginity, obviously. It may even be a James Gunn vehicle movie....
"Meh."

Hardcore Henry is pretty awesome, though the violence and pacing (if perpetual full speed can be referred to as "pacing") might be a bit much.

For a Film Noir Detective version check out the 1947 movie "The Lady in the Lake" based on Raymond Chandler's book of the same name.

I just watched A Quiet Place. Monsters invade (From space? Another dimension? The center of the earth?) not much details on the who, except they are blind monsters who hunt with sound. The story is about a family holed up on a farm, trying to survive.
I really liked the ending.

And I did find Michael Bay's involvement ironic.

"When the credits roll on "A Quiet Place," seeing Michael Bay's name is a jolt -- Krasinski's film feels far removed from Decepticons and Aerosmith ballads. "He never wants to squash the director's vision," said Fuller. "I think that Michael saw his responsibility as supporting [Krasinski].""

I think I like this Michael Bay. Help movies get made from the background. :D

Infinity War

[video=youtube;lDtCQdbny1M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDtCQdbny1M[/youtube]

My prediction:
Spoiler
I think this is gonna go similar to the comic, withe Captain Marvel taking the place of Adam Warlock. [strike]Gamora[/strike] Edit, derp, I meant Nebula. get the Infinity Gauntlet away from Thanos, and either she or Marvel use it to undo the events of the previous movie. Marvel splits up the Infinity Stones again, and we're back to status quo in the Marvel Movieverse. Several actors, including Robert Downey Junior, take this opportunity to retire their involvement.

Am I the only one that felt Infinity War was a bit of a let down both as a film and as a MCU event?

I thought it looked great, but it did feel like a letdown to me. Most likely that's because it's hard to fully meet the expectations of 10 years of build-up.

Eh. I can't fault them. They have their formula, it works really well, and none of the Marvel Movies so far have been utter shite.
I aknowledgede that I was pretty burned out on the Marvel Movies a few years ago, so I went into Infinity War with a thorough "meh" attitude.
I think the big fight scenes dominated the movie, and dragged out way too long. I'd get distracted and putter around on the internet and listen out the side of my ear for something interesting to happen.

What's the relationship there? Hardcore Henry has many flashes of brilliance, but I would have never guessed it to be based on a Chandler book/movie, even if I concede many clear influences.
