So another revealed cast member for The Last of Us Season 2 is Joe Pantoliano a.k.a. Cipher from The Matrix, a.k.a. Teddie 'Don't believe his lies' from Memento, a.k.a, Ralph Cifaretto from The Sopranos, a.k.a. Francis Fratelli from The Goonies, which wouldn't really be that big a news, except that it's Joe Pantoliano. Even bigger news, he's actually playing a good guy.

He's playing Mr. Already dead by the time the game starts, right? Wonder whether he'll get Frank n Bill's day in the limelight treatment or if he'll be a recurring part of the flashbacks padding the season, considering they're supposedly shooting to drag TLoU2 for 2 or 3 seasons.

I don't even know if he's already going to be dead, since in the game the character died of natural causes at 70+. Oh wait, I just checked, Joe Pantoliano is 73, what the fuck?!

Tommy is going to play a larger part, and seeing as Eugene has a history with Tommy as an ex-Firefly I'm guessing they're going to expand on that. Also Jesus, Joe Pantoliano is already 73 years old...

Oh look, now that Ellie is the main character (and immune) they're dropping the underground tendril nonsense and actually bringing spores into the show, or maybe it's because they have a higher budget now.

Yeah, this series is fucked.
So what I’m reading here is that Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have abjectly failed to ensure the continuation of their custodianship of the brand.

Like sure you can be pissed that Amazon are gonna hook it up to the milking machine but if Broccoli and Wilson had elevated and trained a true set of successors to them it wouldn’t be an issue.

At this point the best hope is the British government buys the IP rights under the justification of it being a British institution and cultural treasure.

The masterpiece is back! Now we can witness its glory in 4k!
I remember seeing this at the Birmingham 8 all the way back in September of 1998 with my older brother and I. Our parents brought us to the show, but they fell asleep on most of it. My brother and I love the shit out of this movie.
