    I assumed that Netflix would change their mind about theatrical exhibition if they wanted to get into the business of acquiring a legacy studio but fair point, they might not.

    I would put Apple and Netflix at the top because neither of them currently own a legacy studio.

    Well, that sucks.

    TL;DR: No Peacemaker season 3. Season 2 sets the cast up to be integrated into DCU movies.

    I'm with you on Peacemaker. Solid first season with plenty of fun moments, not great but entertaining. Season 2 goes up a level or two. The main cast had really settled into their characters, the story was a big upgrade over season 1, we get serious stakes that sensibly draw in bigger players, so many good things this time. Hopefully we aren't waiting 3 years for season 3.

    hidden for spoiler I think the eye chose the person it did for maximum story value next season. I am also disappointed that we didn't get to see it control a human host.

    Final episode of Alien Earth tonight and, unless it totally sucks, I think this is easily a top 5 TV show this year. That's both an indictment of the 2025 TV lineup and a compliment to the best extension of the Alien IP since definitely Prometheus, but maybe all the way back to the original.

    It wasn't just that it was a bad stop due to equipment malfunction, Norris gave Piastri first service to avoid LeClerc taking over 3rd.

    I think it's less obvious than some of his other projects. I think he's more constrained by this IP than in anything else he's worked on. It hasn't had much humor at all.

    I'm 5 episodes into Alien: Earth and so far, so good. If you're a fan of the IP or Noah Hawley, this has both.

    RIP Leonard Quinhagak. So many great roles for Graham Greene over the years, but that was the first time I watched him on-screen.

    I watched Wes Anderson's 'The Phoenician Scheme' last night and really enjoyed it. As far as I can tell, this seems to be one of his most divisive movies but I don't understand the complaints. His signature aesthetic is very much intact here; it screams Wes Anderson. The plot is a good deal more straightforward than just about anything else he's made. There's a good deal less character development, but it's tighter and closely aligned to the plot. Also, there are plenty of the absurd moments/vignettes he's known for.

    Long story short, as a committed Wes Anderson fan I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it.

    After a quick look, in addition to your list I'd throw Chappie, Spotlight, Mississippi Grind, Legend, The Martian, and The Lobster into consideration.

    Finished up my cheap 3 month Apple TV+ deal with 'Criminal Record'. This got great reviews but I was just ok with it. It was a little too slow burn all the way through and I just didn't engage with it. At times I felt like it relied on the leads' acting skills(Cush Jumbo and Peter Capaldi) to propel the story. The end had a little too much 'here's a bunch of new info to tie it up' for me. Entertaining enough to get me through 8 episodes but I doubt I'd watch a second season.

    Sorry to hear that. I guess I was ok with most of the answers we got and not too upset about the questions that remain unanswered and the new mysteries.

    I thought it was overall ok and I really enjoyed Dylan's 'affair' with his Outie's wife and getting an answer to what MDR was actually doing. I'm curious who the other test subjects were for the files the other refiners worked on.
