“This is obviously a worrying time for families across the UK, which is why we remain determined to get bills down in the long term.”

Just continue to struggle to survive for the next few years people, and then everything will be dandy.

I'm surprised by how many comments are taking an optimistic look at these less than good screenings. Especially given the current state of comic book movies.

Lots of people have superhero fatigue, and I believe some of it is down to poor writing on the MCU side. When the MCU first took off the quips and little jokes would get a chuckle, but as time went on they became expected, and generated groans.

My concern with Gunn is his comic book films always have the same feel to them, trying to be serious while also leaning on the side of humour, and throwing lots of characters into the mix. I didn't enjoy any of his comic book films except for the first GotG, however the Peacemaker TV show was great. I wonder if his style isn't suited for the current cinematic climate?

My school did something similar. It recommended I become a fish monger.

Outriders was such a disappointment. It had a good amount of marketing put into it, was clearly meant to be a gaas, but fell flat on its face pretty quickly and even released a DLC content update very shortly after release, and was then abandoned.

But so many other good games on that list!

They are updating the app at some point, which is removing the watch together feature. I wonder what else may disappear.

The Way of Kings (Stormlight Archive) - Brandon Sanderson

When I first bought it, I got through about 3 chapters and then shelved it. A couple of years later I was looking for something to read, I saw this book being praised and remembered I had a copy. I ended up getting hooked and sucked into the cosmere.

I concur! Branston beans have in my opinion a thicker consistency with a deeper flavour and creamier mouth feel. After being converted to Branston, Heinz tastes like metallic orange water with overly firm beans.
