‘Stranger Things’ soundtrack coming to cassette to fully consummate your nostalgia wanking
The Stranger Things soundtrack is coming to cassette. Because, of course. Man. Part of me absolutely loves Stranger Things, but the other part of me absolutely fucking loathes it. As a diagnosed bipolar, I suppose this makes all the sense in the world.
Weekend Open Bar: Ain’t no party like an anxiety attack, ’cause an anxiety attack don’t stop
I ain’t having an anxiety attack, though! Don’t let the headline fool you. Just popped into my head today, when I was brainstorming headlines. A headline for what? Why, the one, the only, the perpetually poorly written and only intermittently published: Weekend Open Bar!
That’s right! Come one, come all and grab a seat here. Here! In the rotgut, mind-melting tavern aboard the Space-Ship Omega.
Once seated, then what? Glad you (didn’t) ask! Share what you’re up to over the next couple of days. Don’t matter if you’re fortunate enough to have them off, or unfortunate enough to have to continue your grind.
All are welcome! Share, share what you’re playing! Share, what what you’re reading! Share what you’re watching, eating, contemplating. Anything and everything goes here, so long as you keep it very tight butthole (the existential state, regarding your own butthole, go fucking wild, I encourage it).
‘Shenmue 3’ delayed until 2018, Kickstarters hold on to your butts
Shemue 3 has delayed until 2018. To me, this bodes about the same as all the Mighty No. 9 delayed boded. Not fucking well.
‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Trailer: Check Out The Spider-Suit
I’ve been assured, thanks to the copy written about this trailer by other sites, that this peak at Spider-Man: Homecoming is centered around the dope tech built into Spidey’s suit. I ain’t watching it myself, cause you know, god forbid I be surprised at the movie theater. Trying to get better at that.
Hannah John-Kamen of ‘Black Mirror’ joins ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’
An episode of Black Mirror, “Playtest”, is the only work I’ve seen of Hannah John-Kamen. That said, she’s great in it, and I’m stoked that she’s joining the sequel to the sneakily enjoyable Ant-Man.
‘Wonder Woman’ co-star Robin Wright is appearing in ‘Justice League’
Robin Wright, who fucking dominated as General Antiope in Wonder Woman, is going to appear in Justice League. Good, good. Bring as many elements from the one fun, heartfelt DC film into the company’s next offering.
Kojima drops ‘Death Stranding’ “Bridges” teaser, game is skipping E3
Hideo Kojima’s next game ain’t coming to E3 this year, folks. But he did share a new, extremely vague, extremely Kojima teaser for the game. A spiderweb! The word “bridges”! My guess? Bridges between universes, the spiderweb the connections between them. Just a guess, though! Can’t wait to be 10000% right wrong. As well, a Polygon article digs real, real deep into all the way “bridges” have already been presented by Kojima in this game.
‘The Mummy’ star Sofia Boutella has joined the ‘F451’ adaptation and I hope her character bio is wrong
Sofia Boutella has joined the F451 adaptation. Fine, whatever, crap casting for Clarisse. Fine, whatever, again. However. If they’ve rewritten Clarisse to be a “an informant caught between the competing interests of Montag and Beatty” as purported in the news either that’s fucking horrible or I misremember the character completely.
‘Justice League’ has begun “significant reshoots” that will last through the summer
Folks, Justice League has begun “significant reshoots” with Joss Whedon behind the wheel. This news is coming off an opening weekend for Wonder Woman which saw, Jesus Christ is it really possible?, pop culture geeks actually enjoying a DC movie. Warner Bros. and DC have an opportunity to follow up the Wondrous Woman’s flick with a second hit in Justice League, and I’m hoping these reshoots see that opportunity through. I have, I *have*, I have to imagine these reshoots are intended to bring the same levity and heart that was so appreciated in Wonder Woman to Justice League. I mean, right? I mean, please?
