103 hours later I finally finished Persona 4 Golden. And many a cult fan base was born. Golden I feel insists Marie is the canon love interest (as opposed to Golden the Animation where she IS the canon love interest without any doubt). I can see how that annoys some people, but saving the girl and winning her love is always a winning formula in my book.

The budget for S1 is confirmed to be $138 million. Yeah, this better be the next fucking Game of Thrones.

Enter the Dragon - 9/10. Got the 4K release. Few films live and die by the charisma of their main actor. This is one of those films. There have been so many cheesy films with the martial arts tournament setup that don’t work anywhere near as well because of a distinct lack of Bruce Lee. Although having John Saxon and Jim Kelly helps immensely.

This show is immensely frustrating. The version of Clark? One of the best ongoing versions of him since the DCAU. Everything with Clark/Superman they get right, that he is this guy with a lot of power but decides that he’s not God, he’s not Jesus, he’s your neighbor with the tools. “I’m here. How can I help?” So why is everything around Kansas’s favorite fictional son so obnoxious? Lois is not likable, the villains are lame, the art style is bland and boring, and for all the talk of this being an anime Superman, it’s anime through the lens of people who consider a lot of anime “problematic.” And the Kryptonians are suddenly dollar store Viltrumites? You’re ripping off the aliens who ripped off the Saiyans who themselves were Kryptonians! Also Kaiju Parasite was done better in Man of Tomorrow. At least we didn’t see the MAWS version of Lobo.

Homemade tomato sauce, squid ink spaghetti and a T-bone steak with French red wine.

Ramen. This was the birthday of a buddy of mine who passed a few years back, and we used to get ramen all the time. The good stuff at a restaurant with the fresh pork, egg, and a cold beer. So I got it in memorial. Here’s to ya.

You have good animators under Warner’s employ. Why do you keep using this Poser level nonsense? Also, MJF is in this film because reasons.

Would you believe the snail phones are practical props, not CG?

I think when it comes to stuff like Bleach, there is a sense of possessiveness from the hardcore Toonami audience. That this is "our" show, that Toonami made it successful, and there's a feeling of betrayal when Viz decided to take that sweet Disney money to make it a Hulu exclusive.

Not sure if that was better or worse than 1998 when they did an online poll that was won by Mick Foley, so they immediately declared it invalid and gave it to Bill Clinton.

Time’s 2001 Man of the Year everyone.

Not everyone here likes wrestling (me personally I prefer MMA and boxing although I like pro wrestling casually) but there’s an overlap, not to mention AEW is a big show on a Turner network, so advertising there seems like it’s logical.

Finished Bastard!! S2 Jujutsu Kaisen S2 3-7.

No, every streaming service just needs a good amount of the stuff for value.

I think we’ll all be happier if we accept that things are way different than they were for Toonami in 2012, or Adult Swim Action in 2006.

If Trump gets the nomination, the GOP loses. Nothing galvanizes everyone quite like Der Trumpenfurher. The GOP is begging for a boring candidate or to just see Trump get infected with a disease so they can deflate that rallying point for their enemies.

My weird brain went to the idea of Robert Rodriguez directing a LA movie.

The rumor was they’re making a second season of CM and a movie but they didn’t say what kind of movie.
