hey it's david milch

"Foolish heroes! The multiverse belongs to Doom!" "Not if I have anything to say about it!" "Steve Rogers?! What are you doing here?!" "Did a boring Christmas movie with the Rock, so I'm back. You?" "Stuck my hand up a dragon's anus." "Yeah, that'll do it."

So what are we thinking of the season-ending song as the camera rises up from Trump's body? '70s-'80s basically mandatory. Tears for Fears is obvious but solid. Something from Cats for the surreal grotesquery? Ooh, Gary Glitter, nice and nasty! Or Grandmaster Flash as a Central Park Five callback.

Oh GUNSMITH CATS...you continue to be my problematic fave.

Seems like she's not having a "Bari" good weekend haha lol

He deflated like one of those fish when you bring them up from the high pressure depths.

Toshiro Mifune in his Christmas sweater photographed for Eiga Star magazine, c. 1950

surprised the "trump class" battleship artwork isn't just a crayon drawing of a box sprouting a lot of guns going "pew pew!"

I don't remember this part in WATCHMAN.

Anyway I should probably read the Odysessy and the Illiad at some point.

Nolan's The Odysessy has one of the Safdie boys dressed like he's from a Greco-Roman spin on Warhammer and I do not give a fuck if that is "historically accurate" thank you very much.

The Mycenean Greeks spoke a different language, had different myths, a different social structure, and used different tools and weapons. Troy would be a Hittite satellite state.

As a history nerd I’m going to preempt historical accuracy questions about The Odyssey by noting that The Odyssey itself, being written down only after centuries of oral transmission and depicting a setting from the even more distant past, is itself inaccurate.

much love to every "we just gutted an airsoft gun and stuck controller parts in it" light gun, especially that custom Desert Eagle (with blowback!)

...anyway, I did not realize just how friggin' huge his sculpture of Wilbur Whateley was supposed to be.

yeah, if I was married to Anne Hathaway, I'd defy the gods and fate itself to get back home to her too.

My Die Hard thread from last year, if anyone's interested.

Did you guys know that BLACK CHRISTMAS is my favorite movie about abortion? I wrote about it from that angle and how the violence of the picture overlaps and is linked to the central question of the right to choose. It's one of my favorite movies in general. www.patreon.com/posts/patron...

I agree and also I think that bullies learning at a young age that their bullshit can lead to them eating their own teeth is a good thing and two generations failing to learn that lesson has been objectively bad for society.

"'Asleep at the switch'? I wasn't asleep. I was drunk!"

"Get up to $800 donating plasma to BioLife labs..." yeah I ain't taking offers from a company that sounds like the villains in some indie retro survival horror game.

what if it was "ghibli-inspired" but only ghibli fucked-up monsters? they're good at fucked-up monsters. Seriously it's crazy that people are only "inspired" by round faces and talking to cats when they talk about Ghibli.

so yeah, the implications that Jean Grey went all Dark Phoenix in a large part because she could hear the thoughts of everyone in the world is one of the most relatable supervillain origins.

new MrBeast video: "I Locked a Man in a Room for 15 years!"

Good lord, Kyle's ass is starting to go concave.

James Stewart and Ruth Roman in a publicity still for the great Anthony Mann Western THE FAR COUNTRY (1954) Roman was BOTD in 1922

ngl, social media giving you options like 'turn off certain users retweets' and "mutes certain subjects from this user only" would cut a lot of bullshit.

"Republicans were never defending what they claimed to be defending..." well no fucking shit, knock me over with a feather.

Masamune Shirow drawing cyborg Briareos enjoying a date in the park is so charming. (Appleseed)

well, it was nice when it looked like people were going to be relatively civil about the new big movie out this weekend for about five minutes but that seems to be over and I'm seeing the same discourse that was tired a decade ago cropping up so back to muting it.

At last, scientists believe they have an answer to 'why did the Minidisc fail'

Happy 30th anniversary to one of the most iconic fights in the history of action movies.

oliver the cat got out last night as I was letting the dogs out into the backyard before bed. stayed up late, didn't come back. woke up early, still hadn't come back. Sat out in the back yard, still no sign. walked up and down the road, still no sign.

Do you think Kurosawa was a fan of Golden era Simpsons.

Bear in mind when arguing online that you’re often arguing with people whose entire education constitutes children’s cartoons, video essays about children’s cartoons and the TV Tropes pages of children’s cartoons

Kurosawa lived until 1998. Dude saw Walter Hill's LAST MAN STANDING.

One of the constants of conservatism and it runs from Trump all the way down to Bari Weiss is “can you imagine these people trying to run a restaurant and not giving everyone diarrhea within 12 minutes?”

the shooting at the demolition derby in THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY:

So Chris Walas is still doing paper mache models of H.P. Lovecraft monsters...here's a Deep One.

Magnificent.

Same Denji, Same.

You know, Bob Hoskins might be one of my top top favorite actors.

...what if I rewatched THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY this very night?

Boooooo.

THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY - That was not a very good Friday for Bob Hoskins and hos crew actually.

Unreal slip
