Donkey Kong Country 2 is a good game, but Toxic Tower is one trifling ass ho.

WWE letting some dude pay them $100,000 to just pretend to be a commentator at the desk with a muted mic during Jade vs. Rhea is so beyond shameless I don't even know where to start. I'm convinced they'd let someone book WrestleMania if they paid them enough. Oh wait, that's happening next year.
So glad to see Paige back. You know I like the British girls. #WWE
I wrote about the new episode of The Boys and their focus on 'daddy issues' as this season picks up. - www.superherohype.com/tv/661015-th...
I talked about some popular shows with annoying characters and looked for some commonality. - www.comingsoon.net/tv/features/...
It’s making me finally want to go finish the comics set in this timeline. I’m not sure if there are plans for anymore in this series, it doesn’t sound like it, but I’d love to get an entry that takes place after Returns, possibly even a story that redoes Batman & Robin.
that don’t quite make sense why someone wouldn’t mention it in the movie, but these stories are still easily meshed into that world and feel right for them. I can’t recommend these enough for fans of the Burton movies.
I personally love how it handles Selina Kyle and my boy, Alexander Knox. There are a few characters here who were almost forgotten and get their moments to shine. There are some elements that attempt to explain certain events in Batman Returns,
but I feel like the multiple moving parts of this novel and wonderful characters truly brought all of it together quite nicely. There are so many great details in here, payoffs from the films, and more references than you can shake a can of Bat-Shark Repellent at.
but I don't want to spoil anything, and I truly enjoyed this version of Riddler. Resurrection was quite good, but Revolution might honestly be better. I know some people may have issues with the ending,
This adventure sees the Caped Crusader trying to stop a determined militia group, a deadly archer, an airborne threat, and it involves The Riddler. How will The Dark Knight prevail against someone who rivals his intellect and detective skills? Okay, that's a bit misleading,
I finished reading Batman: Revolution by John Jackson Miller, which is the follow-up to Batman: Resurrection, two stories that take place in the 1989 Tim Burton universe and act as a duology to bridge the gap between the films.
Talked to Faces of Death stars Dacre Montgomery and Barbie Ferreira about the unique horror movie remake. They're both really thoughtful:

I put some words down about popular shows with incredibly annoying or frustrating characters, what makes them stand out, whether they're too infuriating or work somehow, and which common traits seem to keep popping up. - www.comingsoon.net/tv/features/...
I beat Ghosts of Yotei, and then repeatedly died to the secret boss like i owed him money.
The program feels like a pleasant downer, like it has more consequences, even with the typical tropes.
Forever Knight (1992) is my favorite vampire cop show, which has one of the greatest villains in Lacroix. I adored it when I was younger. It’s so cheesy, and I loved revisiting this with my wife, even if she didn’t enjoy the ending as much as I thought she would.
For television, we watched season 2 of My Adventures with Superman (2023), which is still really good. It’s just anime Superman, but it feels like the creators love the property and do it well, with some excellent voice actors and new characters.
Then, Femme Fatale (2002), a film that’s equally as weird, with dream bullshit, but has a jarring, different tone. It starts with this excellent heist-gone-wrong and sets up our characters. It's incredibly sexy, but dumb in places. Give Rebecca Romijn's acting credit.
Replicant (2001), with JCVD as the killer, and as his younger and inexperienced recently born clone, who ends up in a relationship with a nice prostitute. This one is hard to explain, but creative and fun, depending on how you feel about Michael Rooker, and the lackluster ending.
Also, the fact that they made Neve Campbell and her character apologize for not being in the last film—damn.
Recent movies: Scream 7 (2026), the new installment in one of my favorite franchises. This one has an awesome start, and fails where most of the others do: the third act. Once the killers are revealed, it goes downhill fast. Maybe they should try one where that never happens?
ME: "Listen, if you're going to quote the sacred scriptures, get it right, okay?"
WIFE: "We're literally talking about lyrics to the Space Jam theme..."
ME: "Anything you do, do it right."
One of the most interesting parts is a bonus interview at the end, where Geoff Keighley spoke to Reggie about their past together. I doubt I'd read it again, but I would like to hear more from him.
but as with a lot of books like this, I wished he'd expanded on certain topics way more (maybe an NDA issue). This mostly works because of Reggie's personality, as some of the material is just very straightforward.
or how most people could possibly ever use certain pieces of advice, but it's hard to think people wouldn't get more positive out of it than negative.
I enjoyed hearing his perspective and getting a little more info on Nintendo's processes and inner workings,
which he uses to explain the lessons for each major event in his life, but at the end of the day, most of what he's trying to say is interesting. There were a few sections where I did question some of the business jargon,
This isn't the usual type of biography I'd read, often feeling like a business book or leadership guide at points; however, Reggie worked at several companies I liked. Readers will surely get tired of hearing the word 'disruptor,' or his catchphrase of "so what,"
