Sony can buy Star Citizen, have a stream of income and never have to release anything.

I wonder how much monstering there will be. Sounds more like digging into Monarch secrets or something like that. And if they do appear, is it only Android users who get eaten?

https://deadline.com/2022/01/apple-tv-godzilla-legendary-monsterverse-1234916545/ Apple have done a deal for a live-action TV show which is part of the big-screen Legendary Monsterverse.

It's not a teaser trailer. It's literally a title announcement.

Did you pick up that sweet copy of Time Crisis to compliment your PS5?

It's not the same people making this and WoT.

It's got a title now. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Launches 2 September.

I know it looks like it’s some sort of messed up fever dream, but it’s apparently real.

I know people here aren't fans for the most part, but I was surprised to see that Madea and Mrs. Brown are coming together on Netflix next month.

I don't think this really matters. When big companies buy each other, regulators worldwide get involved. You often hear them waiting approval from regulators in US, EU, UK and sometimes China might get a mention, along with others.

And also today, at nearly the same time this was coming out, the US FCC and DoJ said they are going to update their merger guidelines, which people think may mean more rigorous scrutiny of things like this.

New show on Apple from 18 February. A stylised workplace thriller. The concept of the "severance" of the title is that people can have their personal and work memories completely divided and kept separate by a surgical procedure. Obviously, things are not quite right with all this. Stars Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Tramell Tillman and Michael Chernus. Directed by Ben Stiller.

All Sony have to do is buy Microsoft. Check Mate

Forza Crash Team Racing.

When do these deals start getting big enough for competition authorities to want to have a say and possibly stop it? I mean, this could be that kind of thing, right?

It's been added to Netflix. I admit I'm curious as to how much of a car crash it is. At a little over 1.5 hours, I think I'll do it. I almost expected it to be 2.5 hours, which is time I probably wouldn't waste on it.

It is based on the podcast. I'm not familiar with the podcast, so I can't say how much it is based on it.

I just discovered Jess' odd looking camcorder is a real, crappy, Fisher Price product that was on the market for about a year. It recorded to audio cassettes! Badly! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PXL2000

I'm a couple of eps in and I'll certainly keep watching for they mystery. But I just want to say I find the idea of someone who is constantly filming with a camcorder as she goes about her life very annoying and if I knew that person I'd choose to not be around her. And I feel a little sorry for Athie whose acting job has an awful lot of "emoting while looking at a screen".

A Blaster in the Left Hands?

Not until Paramount+ launches, which has no date fixed yet.

Probably depends on the terms of the deal they have for the existing seasons. If their deal got them dibs on potential future seasons, perhaps. If not, I'd probably expect it on Disney+ as it's essentially a Disney network show. And for existing Justified to move over there when Amazon's existing deal expires.
