(I headcanon that Woodard, Julia, and Hawkeye Pierce all went to medical school together. Hawkeye has no respect for Eric Lang as a surgeon, and makes fun of his harpoon collection behind his back.

And if Dark Shadows and M*A*S*H take place in the same cinematic universe, the Aunt Katharine the Collinses are always visiting in Boston must move in the same social circles as the Winchesters. Roger probably danced with Honoria Winchester at her debutante ball.)

It's a good thing they recast Dr. Woodard before they killed him off. I wouldn't have wanted to see Robert Gerringer's shapely behind get the old syringe o' poison.

Coming in 2024: Mass Effect: Priority Hagalaz - The Board Game

Text:

"The year is 2186. On the remote world Hagalaz, a research cruiser from the terrorist organisation Cerberus has crashed directly in the path of a deadly storm. With little time before the storm hits, Shepard must lead their squad through the cruiser to uncover its sinister secrets and keep them out of the hands of the enemy. However, the ship holds more dangers than just its former crew… Mass EffectTM: Priority Hagalaz - The Board Game is a cooperative, story-driven game for 1-4 players designed by Eric M. Lang and Calvin Wong Tze Loon. The card-driven AI system and evolving stories respond to your actions, with your early choices even influencing later missions, while the branching narrative ensures unique experiences with each playthrough. So, prepare to gather Shepard’s squad from a selection of teammates from the Mass EffectTM Universe, customise their abilities, equipment, and powers, and get to the bottom of the mystery on Hagalaz!"

Some more info:

"A board game based on the video game series Mass Effect will have players becoming members of the SSV Normandy crew battling Cerberus. Mass Effect the Board Game - Priority Hagalaz is an upcoming board game that will take place during the events of Mass Effect 3. In the game, players will take the roles of either male or female Shepard, Asari biotic Liara, Turian soldier Garrus, Krogan leader Wrex or Quarian technician Tali, as they embark on a mission on the planet Hagalaz - which is the world the Shadow Broker’s ship orbits during the Lair of the Shadow Broker downloadable content released for Mass Effect 2. In the midst of the Reaper invasion, Shepard and their crew investigate reports of a Cerberus ship crashing during a storm on Hagalaz, in an entirely new mission not found in the video games. In hopes of acquiring more information, resources and assistance with which to fight off the terrifying Reapers - as well as shut down the immoral efforts of the Cerberus organisation - players will need to explore Hagalaz and face its many dangers: both Cerberus and non-Cerberus alike. During the co-op game for one to four players, the group can experience a narrative-driven campaign that will enable players to explore different storylines and outcomes depending on their choices. As their chosen characters, players can upgrade their unique abilities by spending the experience points they gain, as well as unlock new powers through optional loyalty missions. The group can also improve their various pieces of equipment and weapons as they advance through the campaign. According to the game’s publisher, Modiphius, the narrative choices made by players will have consequences further down the line, with there being potential for multiple playthroughs resulting in never-before-seen experiences. Mass Effect the Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz was co-created by Eric Lang, the creator behind board games such as Blood Rage and Rising Sun, and Calvin Wong Tze Loon, whose previous tabletop title was 2022’s Lands of Galzyr. Besides Mass Effect the Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz, Modiphius is also responsible for publishing various tabletop roleplaying games such as Dune - Adventures in the Imperium and miniature wargames like Fallout: Factions. The Mass Effect board game will be released via Asmodee. The release date for Mass Effect the Board Game - Priority: Hagalaz is set for sometime later this year."

Set during the events of Mass Effect 3, the crew of Normandy has one more mission. It is the year 2186, and the Reapers have invaded the galaxy.

Aboard the Normandy, Shepard carries out missions to prepare the Crucible, an ancient alien superweapon, for a last-chance attempt to defeat the Reapers. It’s a race against time, and Shepard must seize every possible advantage.

2024 Horror Challenge: [43/?]

↳“Something's happening in that part of the lake." Caddo Lake (2024) dir. Logan George & Celine Held

Plot: When an 8-year-old girl disappears on Caddo Lake, a series of past deaths and disappearances begin to link together, altering a broken family's history.

Starring: Dylan O'Brien, Eliza Scanlen, Lauren Ambrose & Eric Lange

This one is another stretch for this challenge I'll admit. Ik there's definitely been quite a few this year like that for me so Idk what to say, but at least with this one I have a good reason to cheat. This movie is M. Night Shyamalan-produced and the trailer was giving slowburn horror vibes. I think there could be an argument for it still being counted as that maybe, but only if there had been any actual scares. lol As far as I'm concerned, most of the movie is giving mystery drama with a twist. But I also think this is a good way to let people who haven't watched it yet understand what they're getting into. I totally get that the main plot of the movie is like one big spoiler beyond the Anna character disappearing but what's frustrating is that it takes almost an hour before we get to really realize the sci-fi part is happening. You can guess there's an element like that based on the trailer, sure, but the execution was a little too slow getting to the point a bit for me. I tried getting invested with the characters since the leads are both people I like watching, in particular Dylan O'Brien (IYKYK lol), but like I said, I just felt like I was waiting for the real plot to get going. That said, the acting was solid enough. I don't think it was enough to really save it tbh, but Dylan & Eliza do their best to carry this as the leads, especially Eliza. She really is one of the best of her generation so props to her being able to do so much with so little to work with. I think the plot twist(s) aren't too hard to figure out once the movie gets to a certain point since there's some obvious clues throughout but also logistically, I was still a little confused. lol And I can't really tell if it makes much sense or not either, even if it's not that hard to figure out per se. Overall, it was kinda just mid for me personally. I will say it's cool they filmed it on the actual Caddo Lake and they were able to use its aesthetic to really sell that part of the story. So, that could count as a highlight I guess. But yeah, if it wasn't for the people involved, I probably wouldn't checked it out or kept watching, but it was okay enough for that reason alone. Not the worst watch ever, but out the movies I've seen with any kind of Shyamalan involvement this year (producer or not), this was my least fave. Anyway, that's all I've got. Can't say I'd recommend it tbh but then maybe if you're curious about the twist, a one time watch is fine?? Idk. lmao Just keep expectations low I guess?

Caddo Lake producida por M. Night Shyamalan

Lo primero que hay que aclarar es que, pese a su título local, CADDO LAKE no es una película de terror. Podríamos definirla como un relato de suspenso, de misterio, una mezcla de thriller y drama familiar con un aire al cine de M. Night Shyamalan, pero son mínimos los elementos que la conectan con el horror.

Y lo segundo se agradece la brevedad

En principio lo que vemos son dos historias que suceden en paralelo y que no parecen cruzarse. El Caddo Lake del título es eso, un enorme lago ubicado en alguna zona de Louisiana, cercano a la frontera con Texas. Por un lado se nos cuenta la historia de Paris (Dylan O’Brien, de MAZE RUNNER), un joven traumado y obsesionado por entender la muerte de su madre, una mujer que tenía algún tipo de enfermedad neurológica y que falleció en un accidente un tanto extraño e inexplicable.

Por otro lado está Ellie (Eliza Scanlen, la actriz australiana de SHARP OBJECTS y BABYTEETH), una joven que va a la universidad y que tiene una muy difícil relación con su madre (Lauren Ambrose, de SIX FEET UNDER y SERVANT) y con su padrastro, Daniel (Eric Lange). Como su padre murió cuando ella era pequeña de manera misteriosa, se lleva bastante mal con esa nueva familia, salvo por una excepción: su hermanastra Anna (Caroline Falk), de ocho años, a la que adora. Pero un día Ellie se va furiosa de la casa de su madre cruzando en bote el lago y a Anna no se le ocurre mejor idea que seguirla. ¿Resultado? Anna desaparece.

Así, durante un buen rato, CADDO LAKE funciona como dos películas en paralelo: una ligada a Paris tratando de entender qué fue lo que pasó con su madre y si eso tiene alguna relación con el bajo nivel del agua y otras cosas que suceden en el lago mientras que, por otro, Ellie, su familia y las autoridades buscan a la chica en ese mismo lago en el que se escuchan ruidos misteriosos, parece haber algún tipo de animales sueltos y otras curiosidades que se prestan a cualquier tipo de especulación, si se quiere, fantástica. En un momento se revela que lo sucede es, en realidad, otra cosa. Pero mejor dejarlo ahí ya que será el espectador el que deberá hallarlo y pensar si agrega o quita a la trama.

Pequeño SPOILER

El gran secreto que la película revela pasando los 50 minutos es que en medio del lago existe una zona un tanto magnética y misteriosa que, al cruzarla, los personajes viajan en el tiempo. Una y otra vez. Es una suerte de bloque pantanoso en medio de los árboles que, en apariencia, solo se puede cruzar cuando la marea está baja.

Aburrida, lenta y al terminar tienes que averiguar que la niña es la madre, el es el padre que abandonó etc etc suerte con tus reflexiones

Cansada de ver a Dylan O’Brien siempre con la misma "pinta" de vagabundo empanado

Le vamos a poner dos estrellitas ⭐⭐
