I seem to be one of the few people who loves that Wes Anderson films keep getting more Wes Anderson-ish. Love the aesthetic, love the play-like sets, love the quirky characters. Phoenician Scheme took time to grab me but once it did I was sold. Adored the ending especially.

So I finally took a closer look at Dune: Awakening, and I hadn't realized they were going full-blown MMO. It looks SO ambitious. Since the Westwood days I'm a sucker for Dune games so I hope it's good.

I hope the new pope brings back decent chips at Chipotle. He has that authority, right?

Thunderbolts was a ton of fun. All the characters were enjoyable without feeling forced, and while the climax had lots of punching it wasn't solely solved by punching.

Hey do I have any fans who work at FB and can help me get my account reinstated? I was hacked last week and they just "permanently disabled" the account because of the activity. As much as I'd love to leave social media behind I still have to make a living.

Moonrise had a lot going for it. The action is super cool and the animation is great. It fails to resolve most of the subplots and character relationships, which was kind of frustrating. Like the characters all had a powerful aversion to explaining themselves.

My Civ7 review for those of you thinking of picking it up this week: I'm seven hours in and really enjoying it. Feels like an upgraded Civ6 in all the best ways. Yes, it needs work. No, I probably won't go ham on it until we've gotten some major updates. But Firaxis has long since earned my faith.

What's that? You're complaining about the UI in Civ7? THE GAME HAS NAVIGABLE RIVERS. I've wanted this since I was fourteen, so you can shut up.

The first two episodes of Common Side Effects were weird and compelling. Darker than I expected. I really liked it.
