I love both shows, and I talk about both frequently, so this is a really tough one. I think Elementary is more gritty and realistic, and I love the characterizations throughout, especially Irene/Jamie's. Sherlock requires a little bit of suspending your disbelief, but I find the mysteries a lot more complex and fun to follow. They're both incredibly strong, but if I was forced to only watch one for the rest of my life, I think Sherlock would win just by a margin.

I absolutely agree with you on "The French Mistake." I love it when a show acknowledges its reputation canonically, and I think it's hysterical to see Sam interacting with Genevive Padalecki. I also love "Changing Channels," and Dean's reaction to being on a game show is forever etched into my mind. To be honest, any of Supernatural's meta or fourth-wall breaking episodes result in some sort of hilarity.

I don't have children yet, but I can absolutely understand why this film would be any parent's worst nightmare. For me, it's when Andy begs Laura not to let Piper leave. There's something so unsettling about this moment, other than the obvious. That poor child knows something isn't right and can't put his finger on it, and seeing a responsible adult ignore his pleas, let alone fail to try to reassure him, is horrifying.

I think the more important question is who would she play? Lily James does a great job as a young Donna, but if she wasn't available and Sabrina Carpenter took over, it may work. She can't really play a young Sophie, seeing as she is only 20 in the first film. I have no issue with her being in a new Mamma Mia movie, but I can't see her playing any of the already established characters.

I'm really glad you said this, because I was starting to think I was the only one. When I saw the trailer, I said that it looked cool, but it was essentially Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it didn't seem to offer anything new or different. I hoped that when I watched it, I'd feel different, but unfortunately not. In fact, I gave up about halfway through as I lost interest. I love both Krasinski and Portman, but I can't understand what drove this to be commissioned except for them.

It's disappointing, but unfortunately, not surprising. This kind of thing is happening a lot in the gaming industry at the moment, from the indie companies to the AAA's. I think one big problem is that there is such a focus on marketing over actually making the game work, and those who are actually creating it are forced to meet ridiculous expectations, and so everyone suffers in the long run. I love how ambitious games are getting, but there are also a lot of people who don't understand the reality of creating them, and then wonder why they're having to cancel so many titles. Of course, we can't know this was the cause exactly, but I wouldn't be surprised.

There are several endings in Detroit: Become Human, but my favorite (and one of my favorites from games in general) is Kara and Alice making it through the Canadian border. Their incredible relationship made the revelation that Alice was actually an android even more impactful for me, and I'm always incredibly overjoyed when they get their happy ending together.

Don't get me wrong, I love fantasy, but I think the genre needs some well-deserved peace and quiet for a little while. So many great titles get overshadowed when they're released during a time when the topic is hot or trending. It happened with the Twilight movies, just like Game of Thrones. It's hard to say The Wheel of Time would've done better in five or ten years time, but when it's coming off the trail of Game of Thrones, audiences will naturally compare the two. Unfortunately, many titles haven't been as popular as they should be because they're not Game of Thrones.

For most musicians, I'd say no, but for Michael Jackson, absolutely. Yes, every star has plenty of stories, but Michael Jackson has more than most. It'd make sense for the first movie to focus on his childhood and years in the Jackson Five, especially delving further into his relationship with his father. The second could then focus on his solo career and becoming the King of Pop.

I have no problem with it, but I think the show should've done it from the start. Pacing-wise, it's a little hectic. If part 1 only had a single season, yet part 2 will have at least three, it's going to make the storytelling a bit odd. Certain parts of the story that are relevant to part 1, but perhaps more so in part 2, will have gaps, which will confuse viewers who haven't played the games (even though there are some changes from the source material). However, it depends on the execution, and we'll have to just wait and see.

Not really, but I suppose it's worth trying. As you said, it's probably geared towards kids, but at the same time, it's hard to predict what children will connect with and what they won't. In comparison to adults, trying to work out future trends for kids can be very unpredictable. I hate to say it, though, and I hope I'm wrong, but I fear that this new Clash of Clans title could be more of an attempt to market merchandise than it is a go at creating a show for audiences to engage with.

After the first trailer dropped, I was wondering where Gantu was. As you said, the initial reactions seem positive, but if the rest of the movie is stellar, I think the sea of praise will distract from Gantu's absence. It's hard to say until the film is released, but it seems like a strange choice. Perhaps Gantu is in it, but appears more human like Jumba and Pleakley so we missed him in the trailers (unlikely, I know).

I totally agree. What I think is great about a video game franchise making major moves in movies is that there's a bit more room for lore changes. There are many different Sonic the Hedgehog games and not every established fact or canonical event apply to them all. With Sonic, Tails, and Shadow being Maddie and Tom's "kids" now, I think there would be way too much to unpack if Sonic were to head towards romantic territory. There's nothing wrong with it, but I think there would be too much to cover and die-hard Sonic fans would be frustrated if something was missed out (which is warranted).

Wow, the cast of Shrinking season 3 is looking absolutely stellar, and I'm sure there are others we don't know about yet, and won't find out about until nearer the time! I'm really excited to see Michael J. Fox. I think a lot of actors like himself and Harrison Ford are boxed in when they're the faces of a major franchise, and while neither really need to work again if they so wish, I love it when they return to acting and appear in something none of us would expect. I can't wait to see what his performance is like.

It's a difficult one, because let's be honest, in this day and age, box office numbers can only reflect the overall opinion of the film so much. Many people are still up to date with the latest movies, but aren't seeing them in cinemas and are watching through unofficial means, which skews the results. I think Lilo & Stitch will do better, purely because I know a lot of children will be taken to cinemas to watch it and get them out of the house. I could be wrong, but I think it's more likely Lilo & Stitch will succeed Mission: Impossible - The Final Recknoning at the box office.

Yes, but that isn't a bad thing. Bateman is an incredibly specific kind of character, and the role can't be played by just anybody. While there are some fictional characters that most actors could turn their hand to, Patrick Bateman is not one of them. I'd happily see Badgley as Bateman, but if I had to pick another actor who seems like an obvious choice, I'd say Glenn Howerton. Dennis Reynolds might as well be the long-lost child of Patrick Bateman, and Howerton could offer an interesting comedic edge to the character.

I'm a huge fan of The Sims, so it was initially Inzoi. Now that Inzoi has been released, I'm waiting for Paralives. I've been following Paralives since the Kickstarter campaign launched many years ago, and out of the two, I always thought it would be a bigger competitor to The Sims than Inzoi. The life simulation genre has been dominated by The Sims forever, and I really think 2025 is the year that EA will need to up their standards in order to keep gamers playing their titles.

So I've never been an obsessive Marvel fan, but I liked What If...? because even if you're not overly familiar with a particular story or character, you're not necessarily out of the loop and can easily understand what's happening. I like Star Wars, but once again, I'm not hugely knowledgeable on the deeper parts of the lore. A Star Wars version of What If...? could be a great way to help audiences who perhaps aren't caught up on the franchise's more recent movies and TV shows, and I'd happily check it out.

It's interesting you think the distraction is working, because from what I've seen, I'm getting the opposite. If anything, I think the trailer is riling people up further that it has been delayed. The trailer looks good, albeit a little odd for GTA in my opinion, but it's also a reminder that this supposedly legendary game we've been waiting over a decade for is still a good way off. I can't blame people for getting frustrated and considering giving up on it.

Normally, when it comes to something like this, I'd say no. However, with this, I think it's an interesting idea. For it to work, all four writers would need to be involved somehow, but with one taking the lead with each installment. They could write and frame each film from the perspective of each Beatle. Yes, it could be a little disted, but it'd also be interesting to see different outlooks of each band member, too.
