I know, right?

Ip Man 4:
Donnie Yen is a dude that should be in more western movies. Not like, WESTERNS, but maybe also westerns. But like American movies. This movie is about Ip Man's journey to San Francisco to find a school for his headstrong son, not telling anyone he has cancer, visiting his pupil: Bruce Lee, and beating up racist members of the Marine Corps. I'm sure a large portion of this movie is fabricated, but Chinese Kung-Fu films have a long and proud tradition of fictionalizing the exploits of real life heroes like Ip Man and Bruce Lee. Donnie Yen's charisma is undeniable, though. And I think that made this an enjoyable watch. 3.5/5

Little Women:
I missed the boat on this one when it came out. I can't watch EVERYTHING. In my defense, I did not particularly like Lady Bird. Little Women, however avoids the entitlement I felt saturated the previous Gerwig written/directed work and produces a fantastic adaptation of Little Women that I thoroughly enjoyed. The family dynamic between the sisters was incredible, and the petty squabbles, and jealousies, and devotion, and love were very realistic and touching. Laura Dern who's getting a lot of awards for Marriage Story this season - may be overlooked as Marmee March in this movie. I feel like her performance is brilliant and understated, but also warm and maternal. There's a talk she has with Jo about halfway through the film that really got to me. Top notch stuff. This would have been in my top 5 of last year had I seen it in time. Also worth noting, Alexandre Desplat remains my favorite film composer and his score is fantastic. 4.5/5

Am I the only one that's ever wondered how much of a pain in the ass it must be to file a claim in places like Gotham or Metropolis or wherever.
Like imagine getting your claim denied because Hulk used your car to punch something, instead of just landing on it.

Marvel has a construction/fixing company called Damage Control that essentially bills S.H.I.E.L.D.
At one point it was a joint venture between Tony Stark and Wilson Fisk, but I think they both sold their halves of the company for different reasons.

But this is not news. :)

@e_zed_eh_intern Providing low insurance rates, a power that even Batman doesn't possess.

It's about Eagleman.

I think we could change the thread's title into a neater form.

Ok

@ezekiel lol let me know how that goes. 320 or so is close to my burnout range.

Out of that list, I have not been able to rewatch Banana Split, because as far as I know it was not picked up for distro by anybody and therefore just remains one of the many films I see every year that just get put on a shelf in a warehouse and nobody ever sees again. A super sad way for a film, and the efforts and dreams of hundreds of people who worked very hard to make it, to die.

@dmcmaster I think you're missing my point. The Onion is not a news source. You should not post The Onion articles in this thread. It's for news.

@dmcmaster Satire probably doesn't belong in the news thread :)

I played a lot of games in 2019 and finished only 2 (so far)

I listened to the people leaving the theater and my favorite review comes from a 60ish year old group of Korean ladies:

"Man so loud! Always yelling. At least I did not fall asleep!"

I think that's a masterful summary, actually.

got the green light during early production on Divinity Original Sin II

They petitioned for BGIII after Original Sin 1, but were turned down as they were too new of a studio. They took the demo of Original Sin 2 back to Wizards (so... sometime in 2017) and were then given the green light. But they didn't start full production on it until after Original Sin 2 released either in late 2017 or early 2018.

We've already had some bids and waiver pickups!

Shin Megami Tensei V, Unannounced Horizon Zero Dawn sequel, and Baldur's Gate III were all picked up this week.

I had SMTV and Baldur's Gate III on my list, but the uncertainty regarding the release year is what kept me from taking them late.

I could easily see SMTV be a holiday Japan release and a early 2021 US release, and while I know Larian is plugging away on Baldur's Gate, I think they just started last year.
