6 Things We Learned from the Get Out Blu-ray
Get Out isn’t just a movie, it’s a uniquely celebrated, distinctive experience. It’s one of those rare movies that becomes a cultural talking point, an exciting and insightful commentary about our times. It’s also a fantastically entertaining horror movie, so it became that movie you absolutely HAD to see.
If you missed Get Out in theaters, you can finally now watch it on DVD and Blu-ray, but even if you did see the movie in its initial run the home video release is worth watching. First, you get to own a brilliant film, but second, the disc is loaded with excellent special features, deleted scenes and insightful commentary by the film’s writer/director, Jordan Peele.
There’s so much to cover that you’ll be forgiven if you don’t time to watch it all. Don’t worry, we made the time for you. Here are five important things we learned from Get Out’s special features, and one thing we learned that is extremely unexpected and weird.

Disney World’s Avatar Land Has One of the Best Rides Ever
I’ll be writing more about Pandora - The World of Avatar next week, and the overall experience there, but with the new land at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom opening today, I wanted to focus on the main attraction, Flight of Passage. Because wow, this is some ride.
As a bit of a theme park junkie, it’s rare I can walk off a ride and instantly say, “That’s now one of my all-time favorites.” In fact, the last time I think that happened was when I first rode Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter seven years ago. But I feel secure saying that about Flight of Passage. It’s a new gold standard.
Flight of Passage takes you above Pandora, as you ride a banshee through the sky.

Let’s Talk About the Ending of Netflix’s Bloodline
Greetings, fellow bingers. Down below you'll find some of my thoughts about the way Bloodline's final season ended, along with a few notes on some specific things I didn't want to spoil in my full Bloodline: Season 3 review. If you haven't finished the third season, you've been warned...
I wasn't crazy about some of the stuff that went down in the final three episodes, but man did I love Meg's exit, which came right at the end of the second min-arc - the trial storyline. I adored the fact that she got away from the family. I mean, she actually changed her name and became a different person because her family was so rancid.
What to Watch Next: Bloodline, Samurai Jack and Saul
Anyone who has been waiting for the TV season to wind down before catching up on their favorite shows is in for a rude awakening. There is no offseason for TV anymore.

KH3, FFVII Remake Arriving in ‘Next Three Years or So’
Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy VII Remake aren't arriving anytime soon.
As part of Square Enix's recent financial results, the company listed both RPGs as fiscal 2018 and beyond releases. Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda added that "we plan to launch each of these upcoming titles in the next three years or so."
Now this timeframe fits with what Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy VII Remake director Tetsuya Nomura expressed earlier this year, saying both games "still have a way to go."
Opinion: Marvel Comics Can Learn From Hellboy
I don't envy any reader trying to jump into superhero comics right now. Sure, there's a wealth of great material out there, with decades of classic stories and strong new material being published every single week. The problem is trying to figure out what to read and where to start. With books constantly being relaunched, rebooted, re-branded and whatever else, it can be all but impossible to know where to begin and in what order to follow an ongoing series.
That problem was perfectly highlighted by writer Eric Palicki last week, who tweeted the following image showing exactly what happens when someone searches for "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1" on Comixology:
