Warhammer could be an intensely awesome show/movie, if they really lean in to how deeply hosed humanity is and the absurdist humor of the whole situation. (Like, have an episode that follows a platoon of Imperial Guard who are hopelessly outmatched by a single chaos demon, but though sheer wit and determination they find a way to kill it. Then, immediately after their victory a backup ship finally arrive, but it's full of Inquisitors who immediately merc all of the survivors.) Like, an ideal Warhammer series would have different main characters each episode, and at the end of that episode they would be dead (or worse).

Unfortunately, 90% of the Warhammer fiction out there takes everything way too goddamned seriously and wants to make the child soldier mutant fascist Space Marines into the actual heroes of the story.

So basically kind of like a Twilight Zone format?

Rich is Mike and Jay's guardian angel, but he just keeps helping them hide the bodies. All of his verbal flubs are just him accidentally slipping into his native angelic speech.

It's also why when he laughs, a wave of euphoria washes over you.

The podcast Deuxmoi included a bunch of obviously fake poo poo about how he was disrespecting women in the witcher production behind the scenes. Never heard of Deuxmoi? It's a gossip blog that runs with everything they get sent. They made a retraction, but that's a lot harder to find than the rumors that are still floating around. I saved this bit from a transcript of it since it was just so laughable.

It was pretty obvious given the timing of his behaviour being leaked that it was the show runners trying to make it seem he was forced off over that, and not because he didn't like them ruining the witcher.

Trying paint him as a violent, misogynist gamer also came across as lies by people hopelessly out of touch with gaming. He likes games so that means he's a toxic gamer bro because all gamers play COD and Madden. When he plays nerd games.

They fired Henry Cavill from The Witcher because he kept fighting behind the scenes to keep the show faithful to the books, recast the role with an arguably bigger name actor, and this is how they're advertising the new season which they filmed with Cavill before they fired him.

For anyone who wasn't aware, a bunch of people/brands are posting "Follow me on Threads" links today, which is a Twitter clone made by Facebook. That's the context for Jay's tweet. Not sure I follow his logic about using a fake email address or whatever, but I do get the "why would anyone bother signing up for another version of Twitter" thing. It feels more like performative spite for Elon than anything else, which would be fine if Zuckerberg weren't basically just as bad.

I used a burner phone and email to sign up to twitter when I first joined. But that was my M.O. for most social media. And I was vindicated when it came out the Irish government was monitoring Twitter accounts during the BLM protests and had twitter hand over user data.

I'm sure it's the same everywhere.

Drafthouse has started to occasionally have "rowdy" screenings where their very strict no-talking rules are a bit relaxed. But even those are more about people whooping and such rather than some dingus trying to have an open-mic night from their seat.

Also, there's the story about how the Drafthouse's policy first started (from an old Austin Monthly piece about the history of the Drafthouse) -

Tim League posted:

The second month in operation, we had one of those midnight shows that was successful, sold out, for Blue Velvet. And we had a cheap Pabst Blue Ribbon special. And sold a lot of Pabst Blue Ribbon, and … it became mayhem. People were yelling and shouting and telling jokes … It made me sick. So that next week, I bought a copy of Final Cut 1.0, learned how to use it, and then started cutting the “Don’t Talk” PSAs.

I've been watching it and it's been long enough since the previous seasons that I'm in full-on old man mode asking "who's that? what's happening now? who's that?" but I'm the only one watching so I just think it. I don't really remember why everybody wants Ciri, what the elf factions are up to, what's the deal with that one dumbass king, etc.

Also the biggest reason to watch it is to see Geralt Geralting around the countryside but his role is mostly to stand near Ciri and/or Yennefer for a while before telling them it's time to leave again.

I'll disagree, kinda. There's newer book series coming out that are pointedly not giant, all-encompassing battles (crime and horror, specifically). In order to really get those stories, however, you have to know the goofy dumb-dumb poo poo behind it, ehich is the huge, ridiculous lore.
