Look. We must acknowledge that there is a movie verse and a comic verse.
Or else I have to rage a lot about Wanda.
I think it's coming along okay:
Just gotta finish the foot and toe...
...then convince myself I can do it all a second time.

TFW your favorite game publisher has a Steam sale and you cheer only to discover you freaking own everything they made (that's on Steam) already. Siiiiiiiigh. Fine. DON'T take my money.
Your wallet thanks you.
Well.
Fury was the one who wielded Goose more than anyone in Captain Marvel.
And he did it so well, too.
That man needs to carry a flerkin more than a gun.

I object strenuously to the claim that Rick addresses all problems "by shooting at them". That is a gross mischaracterization and does not do justice to the truth breadth of Rick O'Connell's potential solutions to the problems he comes across; yes, he does shoot quite a lot of them, but he's also seen to wave a sword at problems, and frequently screams at them as a fallback option.
Sometimes he even does more than one of those things at the same time!
THIS IS TRUE.
Even so, I love Honest Trailers and I was pleased as punch that The Mummy was one of the first for their SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER theme.

It's a 1.5TB and them shits ARE NOT CHEAP (I got mine on sale for $80 when I did get it and I know it's gonna be a loooooong time before I see a price that good again).
FWIW, while I prefer the Samsung EVO series, Crucial's current generation 1TB SSD is super reliable and the price tends to fluctuate between about $90 and $120 depending on how much stock's available. It'd be losing 500GB, which hurts, but it often dips down pretty close to the price range you're mentioning.
It'd require a purge of some games (I mean, I guess.... I don't play them all all the time? >.>) since I'm currently sitting at about 1.1TB used.
It's just equal parts frustrating since it's an expense I don't need / can't afford and the 'why' of it. The drive I have is only a few years old and I have absolutely no idea why it began failing. Usually drives fail (in my experience) due to temperature issues, but I've kept my apartment quite chilled because Texas.
I finally buy Divinity and my vidya game SSD starts dying.
I am clearly not meant to play this game.
Lucifer's been renewed for a fifth (and final) season. So, they'll have a chance to end the story the way they want, rather than leaving it on a cliffhanger when it doesn't get renewed at some point.
It's smart. They already had to save it once.
Lucifer was always slated to be a 5 year run, so they are just getting to finish it up like they always had intended to do.
I have a single word to say to that:
Supernatural.
I firmly believe Supernatural is a five season show with some really terrible fanfiction spinoff that came immediately after. Reality may say otherwise, but my version is better.
I have heard it was meant to end after season five. That the story was planned for five seasons, which is why it wraps up so neatly in that package. But that it was so successful they were sort of pushed into continuing and.......
it makes sense when viewed that way. I loved those first 5 seasons. The story was amazing. And I remember going into season 6 and just hating it so very much because compared to what came before it was utter drivel. I never finished six and in my mind, those first five seasons are all that exist of Supernatural. They were perfect.

@Auspice The important part is people had your back. Any way you can CYA for these scenarios (i.e. something that leaves a trail)?
Honestly, per process, these guys should have been reviewing emails and seeing that 'oh, we need to be doing this per the emails that came down from on high.' Plus the passdown I gave. Plus the notes I left.
Per job requirements, that 'read emails since your last shift to catch up' is one of the things you're supposed to do. I do it every day when I first sit down. Sometimes we have things in there like 'Here's a new thing you need to do, reply to this and let me know you read it' from our boss. Kind of her way of making sure we're doing that portion of the job (reading emails). So in a sense, my ass is covered, but.
We all know how these things go. People fuck up and try to blame someone else. My boss wasn't really upset at me; I think she was just sort of checking to see 'is what this guy said true?' But I was half asleep (9am call when I get home from work near midnight) and I didn't wanna play that game (arguing back to point fingers in return). It's no fun. I've been the supervisor caught in the middle. I hate he-said-she-said stuff. He gets one. If I see the potential of it happening again (another round of me giving passdown and him saying some sort of 'Fuck that, I'm not doing it.'), I'll just quietly email her on my way out the door from my personal email account as a 'just a heads up, I gave the full passdown, this is what he said, I'm concerned.' and go home.
aka: everybody gets one.
He got his one.
In non-work griping: I think the SSD my games are installed on is dying. ![😕](http://musoapbox.net/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f615.png?v=4vfms5ns7sl ":\")
I don't know why or how. Just that two days ago, I began having issues accessing the files/programs (MAH GAMES!!! D= ) on it and have had to reboot / repair disk on it a couple times. It's a 1.5TB and them shits ARE NOT CHEAP (I got mine on sale for $80 when I did get it and I know it's gonna be a loooooong time before I see a price that good again).

It flopped, but that might have had more to do with the movie being steaming garbage on toast.
I'd say both because it was garbage and because Halle Berry spent a lot of the marketing time badmouthing comic fans.
Because man, following up Eartha Kitt as a WOC Catwoman shoulda been awesome. Eartha Kitt was a freakin goddess.

@Admiral
Well this guy needs to not be on any shift.
So pissed at third shift.
Told them when I left last night what was going on and what needed to be done. Like usual. Even left the hand written passdown notes. Like usual. The person I gave it to made a statement along the lines of 'Fuck that. I'm not doing all that.' I'd figured it was just hyperbolic sort of bitching because, well, what was being demanded of us was stupid but whatever. It came down from the boss' boss.
Got a call this morning from the boss saying that from now on, I need to stay until both members of third shift arrive to give my passdown because nothing that needed to be done was last night and the guy I gave the passdown to claimed he never received it and was, I quote, 'confused.'
When I arrived at work today, I found out that an hour after said call, my handwritten note had been found....Apparently having been hidden by someone on third (but not very well).
Indeed, yes, this guy had chosen not to do his job and when caught chose to blame me. First shift had my back tho and found the note and stood up for me by showing the boss and pointing out that he doubted I'd just leave without giving a proper passdown.
I'm still pissed tho. Just fucking own your shit.
Divinity back on sale for the weekend and my paycheck got fixed (a day's pay + OT was missing originally 
) so I'm grabbing it.
Finally.
GDI.
I want more shit like Logan, myself. Fantastic story that's so obviously steeped in comic lore without the need for a huge CGI budget to prop it up and support it.
Xmen movies: hey let's do Phoenix saga.
Xmen reboots: hey let's do Phoenix saga.
So really I can gauge my excitement in yet another Xmen reboot at a tepid 3 out of 10.
