The cruelest myth about self-discipline is that you have to feel ready - you don't, you never will, and the people who figured that out earlier simply have more years of evidence that the feeling eventually follows the action - Silicon Canals

Prescient and political, 'One Battle After Another' is one of the year's best films

Paul Thomas Anderson is one of Hollywood's great time travelers. He took us to turn-of-the-century oil country in There Will Be Blood, the 1950s London fashion world in Phantom Thread, and the '70s San Fernando Valley, twice, in Boogie Nights and Licorice Pizza. One Battle After Another is Anderson's first film in ages set in the present day, and partly for that reason, it grabs you and even smacks you in the face in a way that his other movies haven't.

Hades II Review - Godlike, Indeed - Game Informer

Hades, which left early access back in 2020, is one of the best and most influential roguelikes of all time, so there's perhaps no greater sign of the talent at Supergiant Games that their own follow-up, Hades II, blows it out of the water. The formula is refined into its ultimate form; the combat is more complex (but just as intuitive), and the story is grander and more thrilling.

To make Ironheart feel tactile, the show's creative team had to get on the same page

Angela Barnes, our director, is amazing because she leans so heavily into the narrative. With Ironheart, episode 5 starts, and the first third is action sequences. I feel some directors get lost in the 'let's do this cool action' thing, and all of the punching, kicking, and fighting becomes a blur. But Angela really wanted to root our action in the story.
