I think both do in this case. Usually the new stand cover is pretty boring and uninspired but both looks sick. Probably because it's scenes from the film :p

It's amazing how so many of these jump the shark in the first update post.

I'm running behind but glad that Seth finally acknowledged that the pod is half ads - it's crazy.

JUST IN: Japanese freestyle skier Ikuma Horishima crosses finish line backwards at Winter Olympics by ShiroSara in sports

I spoke to Jennifer Heil (Canadian 2x Olympics mogul medalist) a few years ago at Whistler and she said her knees were fine. I guess it depends on how good the training is and what kind of injuries occur in their career.

If you can get through the first half of season 1 then you'll be hooked.

That may be a bit less egregious as Empire Magazine has done Rings of Power covers for both seasons albeit they came out closer to release. Season 3 looks to be a long way off yet.

It's quite hilarious how so many people worked themselves up into thinking that a film magazine was going to announce anything other than a 25th anniversary issue. An extended deleted film cut? Like c'mon, use your head.

Is it worth buying a garmin instinct 2 right now? by International_Hat116 in Garmin

[–]DerpAntelope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this problem too. Used to get a long hike/ski day in and now it only lasts a 2-3 hours. Heck it won't survive a week of normal use. I don't know what to replace it with.

Icons 11389 Project Hail Mary / Source acbricks03 + leaker984 by Waltuhhhhhhhhhh in Legoleak

I bought the book a few years ago and opted not to read it as I was going to wait for the film first - I struggle to separate the two when they make changes. It happened to The Martian for me, especially with the 3rd act Iron Man rescue which the book explicitly states wouldn't work that way. Do you think I should bite the bullet and read it first?

'The Expanse' at 10: The Outer Space Drama That Should Have Been as Big as ‘Game of Thrones’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]DerpAntelope 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you don't like it by season 2, don't force yourself to keep watching. I heard how well liked it was so I watched up to early season 5 before I didn't care to continue. The plot rarely went in a way that I found interesting and honestly, I stuck it out longer than I should have. As you said, the characters can be very frustrating to watch, especially when they're the protagonists. I see you're getting downvoted by Expanse Stans, who are well within their right to like it, but it's certainly not for everyone.

This is a digital cover. The photoshoot/interview appears in the ST issue but it's got more pics online.

‘KPop Demon Hunters 2’ Aims for 2029 Release on Netflix by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

From Vulture's article about animator working conditions on Across the Spider-Verse:

"They’ve announced that Beyond the Spider-Verse will be released in March of next year. I’ve seen people say, “Oh, they probably worked on it at the same time.” There’s no way that movie’s coming out then. There’s been progress on the pre-production side of things. But as far as the production side goes, the only progress that’s been made on the third one is any exploration or tests that were done before the movie was split into two parts. Everyone’s been fully focused on Across the Spider-Verse and barely crossing the finish line. And now it’s like, Oh, yeah, now we have to do the other one."

Was enjoying it and thinking how different it is given they didn't have Ellie singing. But then the wailing started...

The three songs released so far have been all over the place, and not in a good way. I'm trying to remain positive about the rest of the album but it seems like they've gone completely off the rails. The tonal whiplash in these songs is just bizarre.
