Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me.

Honestly, just scrolling down the news headlines made me want to start watching cute kitten videos to compensate, so if anyone wants to share good news, I actively encourage you to do so, please!!

James Cameron is telling fans not to complain about the predicted long run time for "Avatar 2: The Way of Water", because people bing watch entire seasons of shows in one go.

For those of us suspecting that he might be overlooking the value of the pause button on the remote, apparently not, because "Here's the big social paradigm shift that has to happen: it's okay to get up and go pee."

Well, technically yes, but given how much I have to pay to go to the cinema, I am curious if he will flash up a helpful sign on screen saying "This is the dull bit, you have four minutes to go pee and you won't miss a thing, promise"

Speaking of streaming, Stranger Things Season 4 pt 2 arrived and I've yet to make it past episode 2 of Season 4 pt 1, so no rush.

On the other hand I finished The Umbrella Academy season 3 in short order, because gosh this fustercluck of asshole idiots are such fun to watch!

Have to run to catch a train, so away you go my pretties!

I'm the screenwriter. It's been a crazy couple of years, and now that it's out, my mind is just blown by the whole thing. Especially since I just this second found out we're Netflix's #1 non-English language film this week, and #8 overall. What is even going on.

Well that's cool as heck!

In terms of the reviews... on one hand, feedback is important to the creative process. On the other hand, YOU MADE A MOVIE! That's a massive success in itself!
