Trying not the feel personally attacked that the new Devil Dawgs has a table just for me.

This gigantic article traces the roots of Peter Thiel's philosophical beliefs, yet those beliefs are ultimately meaningless unless you accept very specific, non-Biblical versions of the Antichrist and the apocalypse as literally real. What are we doing here? apple.news/ASkA50fXCSq2...

I’m seeing all this doomsday stuff over Tilly Norwood, but… Is she completely AI? If so, can her likeness and voice be copyrighted? Can’t anyone just make a Tilly Norwood and put it in a movie?

This really seems like money laundering of some kind. The Haunting is the British video retitling of The Terror, which is public domain. The Terror Within is just Alien set in a budget conscious bunker. apple.news/A4sQ2rNepQtS...

Ice Road 2: Vengeance has slightly more vengeance than The Raid: Redemption had redemption.

Definitely a great sign of institutional competence that NASA can’t tell the difference between a solar system and a galaxy.

I feel like the important part of the iPhone Air is not so much how thin it is, but how the efficient use of space and power usage will translate to the other iPhones.

A House of Dynamite trailer has narration by Carl Sagan. The 28 Years: The Bone Temple trailer has narration I’m pretty sure is Arthur C. Clarke. Is there a third trailer today with narration by another science communicator?

It’s so hard to remember that there was once a very good Hollywood movie about how heroic this guy was.

These very helpful instructions came with my new Godzilla figure.

Black means well, but it tells you something about his media diet that he thinks remote viewing was proven true under laboratory conditions.

I’ve always wanted to try this, after seeing it in Japanese TV shows forever. I’m not a fan.

If you’re complaining about the boring but entirely of the time change to the Cracker Barrel logo, you’re also admitting the food there isn’t good enough to carry the brand.

The reverse of this is that The Passion of the Christ would have been a much better movie without God.

I wonder if that's Shinji Higuchi in the background of this "making of" clip on the new Return of Godzilla blu-ray. I mean, I hope they didn't put the unofficial "intern" in charge of a major machine, but who knows.

Trump trying to meet with the Nepalese ambassadors.

Another year I’m missing Gen Con, another missed opportunity to wear an “Indiana is Chicago’s New Jersey” shirt.

(Me, checking notes) There was a Fantastic Four movie with a extended scene at the X Games? That can’t be right…

It really feels like there’s been a meta shift. Both of the big superhero movies this summer, Superman and Fantastic Four: First Steps, have kaiju scenes.

I suspect this is evidence they used AI to get this written so fast.

Is there any slasher series worse than I Know What You Did Last Summer? The first movie is barely watchable because of the great cast, but there’s not much there. Hilarious that author Lois Duncan complained about the adaptation, considering her novel was unadaptable as a movie. Take the $ and run!

Hmmm, Toho mentions that a sequel to Shin Godzilla is in the works, and Shinji Higuchi is at SDCC next week. Coincidence? Probably. But, boy, it would be cool if we got more concrete information at the 70th anniversary panel.

A sequel to what now? Godzilla Minus One, obviously. But is a follow-up to Shin Godzilla really in the works? (Quote is from Toho’s International head.) apple.news/Ar7cwxjcYQni...

We are so far down this timeline that I can’t figure out if this movie I just saw a poster for is a parody or not.

If you see this, quote this post with a time travel movie that's not BACK TO THE FUTURE 🎥

The Bad Place now has an anime assistant you can use that is a combination of Misa from Death Note and no second thing. And it has a lingerie mode.

I was at G-Fest XXX (nice) this weekend, and I had a great time. It's fun to able to connect to other kaiju fans and share our love of giant monsters and standing in giant lines.

FINALLY.

Ultraman and Ultraseven are coming in 4K next year from Mill Creek. And Great and Powered, if you’re so inclined.

This was a particularly funny joke at G-Fest. Jirass vs Ultraman live show.

Some fun stuff I saw at G-Fest XXX today. Went to panels on History of Godzilla Toys, Japanese UFOlogy, and Korean monster movies.

The Ultraman room at G-Fest is off the hook.

In a line to get in a line. #G-FestXXX

Go on, tell me we aren’t living in a broken timeline. apple.news/AVZoX2I9UREy...

Trying to suck up to the conspiracy crowd with promises of secret revelations went so well with the Epstein stuff, why not try it chemtrails too?

Really great that our international military policies are being run the same way you'd expect to see when introducing a cat to a new household.

Look, “America Party” is a stupid name and basically the least creative option anyone could have come up with. Yet I’m still impressed he didn’t call it “X Party.”

Excellent. I saw this movie at a festival, and I loved it.

Lego Godzilla! I’ve recently reconnected with my love of Legos, so the timing is nice. gizmodo.com/lego-godzill...

I can’t help but find this strange. I initially thought the Hortmans were, like, on the same street as the Hoffmans. But apparently their homes are ten miles apart. That means the police assumed the attack on Hoffman was a political assassination.

There’s a major movie released in the year of our lord 2025 that includes a “first time line dancing” scene. #TheAccountantSquared

Is there a word for that feeling when you’re reading a true crime book about a case you know nothing about, and the author talks about a marginally related case you are familiar with and gets every fact about it wrong, calling into question how much you should believe anything the author says?

I’ve been pointing this out for years, and it feels crazy that people still treat him like some sort of educated person. apple.news/AVf7kzdpSS2-...

The story behind this one is probably going to be good.

The new call screening in iOS seems pretty neat, but I fear bad actors will just start their calls with something that sounds personal and urgent to get past it.

I have to do it.

Repost with your first X-Men comic. I didn't read X-Men when I was a kid, 90% of what I knew about them came from that episode of Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends and an Angel back-up story in one of the Marvel Treasury editions. But for some reason I had this issue. JRjr could draw a cover.

As Scandinavian crowd-funded green screen action parodies with dinosaurs and Hitler that got delayed by legal disputes go, Kung Fury 2 looks pretty good. But hopefully this article kills the myth that the movie is done, because it isn’t.

Reuters has an article that reads more like a press release about how the HK film development council is trying to encourage new directors. So of course they have a 67 year-old actor talk about a movie that’s been sitting on the shelf for the last six years.
