This was my only problem with Marvel Midnight Suns. Not only was the 2K launcher annoying as hell, but it severely impacted the performance of the game.
If you've got it, do yourself a favor, disable the launcher. It's easy to find guides for doing so, and it'll improve the game considerably.
But for the life of me I can't see how this passed QA, when the problem isn't even the game itself.

If the 13th Doctor's era gave us anything, it's a Dalek and a Cyberman having a brief moment of empathy by exchanging a "What. The. Shit." glance when the Master was dancing to Ra Ra Rasputin.

At this point I assume that's what all former companions are up to. Sarah Jane, Donna, Tegan, Ace, Martha, Mickey, and Graham have all been shown getting into alien shenanigans Post-Doctor. The end of the last special even showed them forming a support group.
They just released a trailer for a Blu-ray collection of series 9 back in the 70s - and the trailer is a mini-adventure featuring Jo Grant and a Sea Devil. Yeah, they're marketing a Blu-ray box set with a reminder that 50 years later Jo is still having adventures. What other franchise does things like that?

We were very fortunate to get a third season of Twin Peaks in 2017, and it was magnificent, an almost perfect revival.
It will never happen again. Since the end of season 3 we've lost too many people, like Warren Frost, Catherine Coulson (she was dying as they filmed season 3, and they wrote it in), Al Strobel, and maybe most importantly Angelo Badalamenti who died this past December.
You cannot do Twin Peaks without Badalamenti's music, it's practically a main character, and I bet anything David Lynch would have no interest without it. If he even were interested otherwise, and I doubt it, it seems to have been something of a career retrospective for him, so I think he said what he wanted to.

Patchwork Girl of Oz is actually the first chapter book I ever read by myself. It's always been my favorite Oz book for that reason.

Also the best incarnation of The Master in Doctor Who since Roger Delgado's original in the 70s.
You can tell she's having an absolute blast, managing to be both incredibly funny and surprisingly scary.

Both Waxwork movies are nuts and need to be better known.

Transformers, GI Joe...Heathcliff, weirdly enough. Finish it off with Pee-wee's Playhouse.
TMNT was an after school event, and later on the Disney Afternoon.

So, the story goes that Lynch and Frost got screwed by the network.
They A) ordered more episodes than the creators had expected for season 2, B) insisted that the mystery be solved (it was never intended to be - the answer is obvious in hindsight, but they were never planning to explicitly reveal it) and C) made it be solved by episode 8, with a huge chunk of episodes left.
Lynch and Frost kind of got fed up and left it in the hands of others...for a while. If you tolerate it for a while it does get good again. The last couple of episodes are exactly the mindfuck Twin Peaks deserves to be, and worth sitting through the slog that is the middle for.
Also, after this you get the movie Fire Walk With Me, which is maybe the best film Lynch ever made, and then from 2017 Twin Peaks: The Return, which is maybe the best anything Lynch ever made.
So yeah, you're in for a bit of a rough patch, but I think if you stick it out you'll be glad you did. There's still gold in them there Peaks.
(And if you want more network-bullshit-free material, Mark Frost has written a couple of books which are fully canon, those are worth a look too.)

Believe it or not, Ant-Man and the Wasp.
I had a little kid about 10 in the row in front of me. He laughed the whole movie...and then we got to the credits scene.
It was like witnessing a Vietnam flashback. The kid just froze like a deer in the headlights, a look of absolute horror on his face. His dad had to walk him out of the aisle like he was dragging a dog to the vet. Needless to say, it was hilarious.
I'm actually a little jealous. I'd love to see those movies through the eyes of a kid, and not a jaded adult who's like "yeah, sure, half the marketable characters are staying dead, I bet".

It's Dracula with the serial numbers filed off. They changed character names to avoid getting sued by the Stoker estate, got sued anyway, lost, and every copy was ordered destroyed.
Luckily, they missed a few, so we can watch the movie today.

I watched this film as part of my Halloween watchlist this year, and then the next day watched Graveyard Shift...which also features a crazy exterminator played by a character actor having far more fun than anyone else, Brad Dourif.
All I could think is that I wanted their characters to meet and go into business together. Six seasons and a movie, please.

Mordaunt is absolutely the name of either a vampire or a mortician, possibly both.

They took that into consideration.
