I watched Monkey Man. Good fighting scenes but the non fighting stuff was def similar to other movies

I really enjoyed the Dev Patel explains why he doesent like Mohdi whilst punching people in the face film.
Blur Studios has been responsible for incredible CG cutscenes for games (and more) for decades.

So are the live-action Sonic movies anything like Secret Level? 
I’m not 100% sold on the whole Secret Level thing but, Jesus Christ, I was not prepared for the Unreal Tournament episode.
If you haven't seen the Shadow Labyrinth trailer:
Then it certainly helps put the PAC-man episode in context. I would definitely watch the PAC-man episode first though.
Yeah, the Unreal Tournament episode went hard.
I made it about 1/3 of the way into Pac-Man before I got interrupted. I'm keen to get back to it once things settle down.

The unreal tournament episode was great. Never played the game, but they still managed to tell a story to someone who's never played. I am all in on Secret Level. Love it.
The last two episodes didn't really do it for me, but they were still well made. And I was in a very different frame of mind when I watched them, so I'm probably being unfair. I do hope to see more.
I should probably go look up that robot show these folks did.
Love Death and Robots is more... varied. A lot more different studios making the shorts with varying results.
Went to watch our digital version of Elf on Prime today. Not on the list.
Anyone else run into this before where your purchased item(s) are no longer showing?
I really want to play the version of Unreal Tournament in that Secret Level episode.

I linked all my stuff with Movies Anywhere a while back, and then Vudu (now Fandango?) is the main app I use at home on the TV to watch stuff. Seems like my copies of things always show up there.
Not sure if a store could lose access. That seems wild.

I guess I’ve never looked at Prime Video’s TOS, but my assumption has always been that much like digital games, you’re buying a license to view any digital movie/show on there. So there’s no reason one of them couldn’t just disappear.

I do this too, and while it mostly works fine, there's two movies that don't show up properly outside of the place I bought them from. I got the first two John Wick movies in a digital bundle from Vudu at one point, and while they both show up in Vudu and on my Movies Anywhere list, they don't show up in Amazon's listing even though every other thing in the Movies Anywhere list shows up fine.
Coincidentally, I have Elf from Movies Anywhere, and while it does show up in my Purchases list on Amazon Video, just doing a search for Elf from the main doesn't return the version I own in any of the search results.
Sometimes I think digital retailers just have a bug that loses your link to your movie. This has happened to me with Google before. Probably a good idea to make a list of what you have and then contact customer support.
Contacted customer support. They had me re-buy and then refunded me.
So, that's an ok outcome.
On one hand, yes, it's "just" a license so I'm renting it, basically. And I can watch anywhere/anytime (download for plane, watch on vacation, any TV in house, etc) while not having to worry about misplacing a disc.
But there's no chance I'm going to have mental bandwidth to remember/track all my purchases and police the company to do it for me.
That is why I decided to move back to physical media for everything I could starting next year. I am done with having to monitor digital stores to make sure they don't forget that I own a movie or book.
From what I can tell, physical media isn't that much more expensive than a digital "purchase" and it often comes with digital access across multiple storefronts.
I switched to all digital years ago because of the convenience and the space saving. Not as much stuff just sitting on shelves.
But it's not true ownership.
I had gone full-digital sometime around 2012 but I’ve started re-purchasing old dvd’s and cd’s due to some things becoming increasingly difficult to find. Especially for music, for some reason a couple years ago some musicians and albums started dropping off all the streaming platforms.
I started grabbing vinyl records. And fighting games. And Dreamcast stuff. And cutting back on subscription services.
But, I mean, I can live a full and complete life without having instant access to Heat.
Well.
Maybe.

I went to an almost all digital lifestyle after moving halfway around the world four times in the last ten years (New Zealand -> USA -> back to NZ -> Germany -> Australia). That quickly taught me the advantages of minimalism and portability!
New episodes of Secret Level today. As someone who loved The Outer Worlds, the episode set in its universe was great. It really captures the tone of the game’s universe.
The Exodus trailer episode sold me on the "Interstellar meets Mass Effect" premise of the game.
I was really disappointed in the Secret Level Warhammer episode. All posturing with no plot, and there was nothing about it that was accessible to people who aren't familiar with the Warhammer universe.
Blur's stuff like this has never been plot-centric. They do vibes, and they do them well. There's a story there, but it isn't primary.
I will grant that Space Marines, as characters, aren't really set up well to carry these sorts of stories. There's only so much you can do with power armor.

Yeah. All I know of WH40K is the very bare minimum that you pick up through social media, and I have 0 idea what was involved. Looked damned cool though.
I watched the rest of them today and besides Outer Worlds, the rest were not great. There's really not much story to be told, but everything felt more like ads for video games. My favorite was definitely the Warhammer one as it felt very much like the Astartes film that was published on youtube awhile ago.

The Exodus one was OK, but it really was setting up the whole "Lightspeed is a hard limit and relativity is a very real thing" basis of the game and, really, that was it. It's been done before but better plenty of times.
the last one was just a giant puff piece for (I assume) Sony PlayStation
I liked most of them, but I'm easy to please when it comes to CGI shorts by Blur. There is a good bit of artistry at work, for example, in the Warhammer 40k episode where everything goes black and the bright blue-white gore of the demons and flashes of plasma pistols are the only light sources. Very stylish.
