'Foundation' Shakeup: David S. Goyer Stepping Back Duties on Season 3. The story of this show keeps getting crazier. The big challenge was supposed to be translating the sweeping book series to the screen. But they keep having problems simply keeping the cameras rolling. I wonder if Hari Seldon saw this coming?

Obituary: Canadian actor Kenneth Mitchell, who continued working after ALS diagnosis, dead at 49.

VFX artist Gareth Edwards does some really amazing visual work. I haven't seen "The Creator" yet but just from the trailers it looks amazing, even if the story seems a bit generic.

Wife and I saw The Creator last night, after watching that Youtube video. The movie is amazing and underrated. It was filmed for $80 million, which is amazing considering the sheer number of visual effects. It's only free on Hulu right now. I rented it on Prime for $6.

Best way I can describe it is Apocalypse Now meets Bladerunner, with some District 9 thrown in for flavor. The VFX Artists React video here doesn't really have any spoilers, in fact it impressed me so much, it made me want to see the movie. Watch the youtube video and decide if you want to see the movie after that.

I enjoyed it. And I'm pretty picky.
I mean it ain't total shit what with a B+ CinemaScore
67%tomatometer 76%audience
metascore 63 user score 6.4

I remember wanting to see 2017's Life (SciFi, triple AAA cast) and it had a C+. One letter grade makes for a world of difference. It suxor'ed bigly.
