David Fincher and Charlize Theron’s project ‘Mind Hunter’ picked up by Netflix
Apparently David Fincher has a long gestating project with Charlize Theron! Who knew! Doubly apparently, this project has toiled away in development hell for a good long while, but it is finally going to gain traction.
‘Uncharted: A Thief’s End’ Cinematic Trailer: A Two Bit Thief
Man, Uncharted is really coming to an end, eh? If Naughty Dog is to be believed. Or rather, perhaps more accurately, they’re about to be done with the franchise and Mr. Drake. The company has released a new cinematic trailer to herald the aforementioned end, which played before The Force Awakens.
Watch: SpaceX landing its Falcon 9 rocket after delivering payload in space
OFF OF EARTH, OFF OF EARTH, OFF OF EARTH! Fuck, if the governments of the world can’t do it, maybe our CorporateOverlords can get some of us off this Blue Rock. And one of those CorporateOverlords’ companies, SpaceX, took a huge goddamn step.
James Cameron: ‘Avatar 2’ dropping Christmas 2017

‘Deadpool’ IMAX Trailer: More Cheap Euphemistic Jokes

Tuesday Afternoon Commute: Status Check from Space-Ship Omega
Oh shit! I’ve been gone for a minute. Went deep, deep into a Star Wars-induced blackout last week. Then every time I began to peak my head out, someone wanted to know: what did I think, how did I feel, was it as good as the originals? (c’mon now!), how many times have you seen it? (three!), how many times do you want to see it? (seven, at least), when are you seeing it again? (tonight, by myself!) did it meet your expectations (my logical ones, not my emotional ones), on and on. And I realized, in that moment, that I really just wanted to digest the entire thing by myself. Or rather, not on the internet. Writ large.
But I’m back! This is Tuesday Afternoon Commute! Semester break finally begins for me, today. And it’s mere days until Christmas. So let’s hang out. What’s on your mind, what’s on your plate this week?
