@Yousef- Gears of War and whatever Fifa game for that year was what made me buy a widescreen.
@Yousef- GTA V on a 4:3 screen is such a weird experience. I don’t know why it supports it but it’s pretty cool!
Shogun deserved every single Emmy it won. It also shouldn’t have been renewed.
@nessisonett Agreed on all counts. The second season isn't entirely set in stone, as they are currently trying to figure it out, but I'm fairly confident that they'll probably put something out, so hopefully they can crack a good story and make it compelling.
Started Blue Eyed Samurai. Good so far, with some fantastic (and gory in places) fight scenes.
What is everyone's thoughts on the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series? I just don't get what the point is of remaking the story. Sure, the movies cut a chunk of subplots and other things out that a tv show would have the screen time to properly explore; but the movies and especially the cast of them are just so iconic. Not to mention with a TV budget they will likely dial back the scale and spectacle and therefore make the WOW factor inferior to the movies. I just can't imagine the show replicating the original movies magic (no pun intended). Why wouldn't you have just done a tv series that was an original story. Make it a sequel or prequel to the books ala Hogwarts Legacy. Or even just set it in a part of the Wizarding World we have never seen, no Hogwarts, no Potters, no Weasleys, etc. That way you will (mostly) avoid comparisons to the movies, not have to worry about catching lightning in a bottle with the cast again, and the writers can flex their creative muscles and do whatever the hell they want. They haven't even finished casting much less shot a single frame of it yet so I will of course reserve judgement but I am divided on the very idea of it.

@PegasusActual93 my daughter is looking forward to them because she kinda hates the movies (in comparison to the books). and just from the little I've seen
