Hey, they showed the #WolverinePS5 trailer! #OmegaRed, Mystique and a big ol Sentinel are in it! Looks sick! Release Fall 2026! Now, please someone start complaining after seeing more of a work in progress, I bet that'll make the game come out MUCH sooner! www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3pD...

We Have Friends Everywhere Earlier this week, the Disney-owned broadcast network ABC abruptly pulled the late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live from the airwaves after being pressured by the U.S. government. A few days prior, Dan Gilroy and the show Andor, another Disney-owned entity, was being…

We have friends everywhere. #Andor #AbolishICE #Resist thenerdsofcolor.org/2025/09/19/w...

Famous Last Words of #RobertRedford characters: “LeFors? No.” “He said everyone is involved.” “Nope.” “Let’s play ball.” “Hail Hydra.” #Sundance

Bluesky is now 20% random posts by people refusing to acknowledge the news of the day, 30% people reacting to the news & main characters of the day, & 50% exhausted artists trying to sell their work with strained, cheerful posts. Nevertheless, we persist. Throw a coin to your Witcher if you can.

I really hope Allen Iverson manages to make some kind of licensing money out of this whole fucking stupid decade. #AI

I gotta write a substack thing about #LamarJackson 's leadership voice, cf 1:34 "Let that go." After Likely's foot and Andrews' drop and all that. Of the 4-5 elite NFL QBs, Lamar's the only one I wanna hear speak after a win or a loss. Such a freaking hero. #BaltimoreRavens #DerrickHenry

I did a deep dive (scrolling back ten years on Jayden Daniels’ mom’s instagram) and found the great grandma. He just like me fr.

Hey, it's #BandcampFriday, a.k.a a good day to buy songs from indie music acts you like. Our 12 Valentines album on Bandcamp has stuff that isn't on the streamers. Plus our latest tune is really good! 12valentines.bandcamp.com

Someday Tiktok will find our sapphic #DCcomics #disco song inspired by #BirdsofPrey & the #SuicideSquad #videogame, a #12Valentines collab w/ @mzmo.bsky.social + Vic (Harley) Nyaradzo (Ivy) Mariah (Catlady) incepted from #RocksteadyGames fandom + resistance to the current US VP's ranting. SOMEday.

I like how this song came out. If you're into it too, please add/follow 12 VALENTINES on the music streamers, bandcamp, youtube, etc, every # bump helps. We've got several cool new tunes planned to record before year's end. #12Valentines #Moonstone #indiepop www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSDv...

Hey, #NewMusicFriday, here's a new song from #12Valentines: MOONSTONE Vocals by Vic Ess, guitars by @mzmo.bsky.social It's kinda tryna do that Robyn thing, with a little bit of the Joshua Tree thing, and some John Williams circa 1977 thrown in for sci-fi flavor. On the streamers, #Bandcamp now! ❤️

In line with all my #FREAKYTALES caping: Real ones know that #CaptainMarvel is one of the best Marvel movies. Top 5 fer sure. Boden and Fleck made sure it was about something, and also had great music. #LitaFord #karaoke #MCU

As an interviewer, I flubbed by not asking Anna Boden what her secret longheld dream movie is (as FREAKY TALES seems to be for Ryan Fleck) but I'd guess it also involves fighting Nazis somehow. The antifascist mixtape Bay Area-focused #FREAKYTALES is on HBO Max! It's a good time! Dye Nazi scum!

My favorite part of the new movie AMERICANA is this. #SydneySweeney #SissySpacek It's also a hilarious, dark, piercing story (from #PokerFace S2 showrunner #TonyTost) that calls back to many iconic American films of the 1970s-80s.

‘Americana’: A Dark Comedy About Cultural and Literal Theft, For Our Times I got to chat with director Tony Tost and star Paul Walter Hauser about Americana, the new Western/heist/comedy opening this week from Lionsgate Films. The interviews and my review of this thoroughly enjoyable genre-mashing…

Yo #FreakyTales is out on HBO Max today! Here's my short interview with the directors, Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck, 2 of the best filmmakers in the universe. Nazi scumbags will be defeated with superior numbers and magic swords! #BayArea #Warriors #TomHanks youtu.be/yPonLbRuXoE?...

It's #BandcampFriday! In the spirit of #SDCC2025, plz peruse our indie pop songs with Marvel / DC comics-themed easter eggs (it's a #conceptalbum) and lovely vocals. There's songs for Secret Six, #XMen, #KamalaHarris, #AlphaFlight, #SSKTJL, also some normal songs. 12valentines.bandcamp.com

Cobra, brah.

NOC Interview: Beatrice Grannò on ‘Daniela Forever’ and Dream Duets with Henry Golding I got to chat with Beatrice Grannò about Daniela Forever, the new film from writer-director Nacho Vigalondo, starring Henry Golding. Grannò plays the title character Daniela and also sings on the soundtrack by…

I got to interview Beatrice Granno about the indie film DANIELA FOREVER, working with co-star #HenryGolding and director #NachoVigalondo and soundtrack composers #Hidrogenesse, also karaoke, dreams, Italian stuff. (She was Mia in WHITE LOTUS S2, among other things.) #DanielaForever #indiefilm

The #GoodnightBros trend is my favorite thing this week. Keanu is the angel we need but don't deserve. #GoodFortuneFilm #AzizAnsari @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social

#FantasticFour is the 4th best #MCU movie. Imma waffle on whether it could be 3rd. One of my fanservicey favorites is getting bumped down.

Din Tai Fung marketing approaches god-level innuendo. Yes, their URL is DTF.com. #soupdumplings #DTF

Who's gonna tell maga that videos are edited, and what will their counter-slogan be? "Toxic de-lengthening?" "Fake EDL?" "Woke sync?" "Release the uncut slate piece?"

OK, #FantasticFour. Next week. Thoughts? I'll start: 4 Fave #FF things - 1 is THE Thing being thingy. 2 is Johnny rallying the team in Morrison/Lee's "1234." 3 is the Doom entanglement, u know u wanna see Pascal's stretchy body wrapped around RDJ in the movie. 4 is Invisible Woman being super OP.

Little-known canon: Kryptonese for "Conquer those plebes" is an oft-misheard homophone with "Abolish ice." #AbolishICE

I reviewed DANIELA FOREVER, in select theaters now, from Nacho Vigalondo, with #HenryGolding and #BeatriceGranno. Really enjoyed this film. Acting and aesthetic choices are great. It is gaze-y, but flips it interestingly? Curious what y'all think. #DanielaForever #indiefilm #review

New Hard NOC podcast on #Superman for @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social! SuperSPOILERS discussed. Keith & I unpack the #SupermanMovie: the wartime allegory, #MrTerrific, Supes' Jewish origins, the lingering Man Of Steel effects, the still-not-dead DEI questions. Rants/opinions my own, Keith loved it :)

Hard NOC Life 359: ‘Superman’ Takes Us Home Hard NOC Life is back—and so is Superman. In our return episode, Keith and Dominic dive deep into the latest take on the Man of Steel: How does he stack up against previous Superman incarnations? Is James Gunn’s DCU off to a flying start? And what does…

NOC Review: ‘Daniela Forever’ Is Henry Golding’s Indie Star Turn What a lovely film is Daniela Forever, the latest effort from Spanish filmmaker Nacho Vigalondo, starring Henry Golding and Beatrice Grannò as the titular character. Vigalondo's last feature as writer-director was 2016's Colossal,…

If you'd like to intake SUPERMAN movie discourse with spoilers, from me and Keith for @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social. I overread into some of Gunn's intentions, we repeat some of each other's points. In other words, raw! Uncut! New! #Superman!

Here's another movie that comes out today starring a hunky guy with tousled black hair. 🙂 I think it's lovely and doesn't overplay the "dreamworld" thing. Full review to come at @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social. It's in limited release, found a few screenings in Los Angeles area. #DanielaForever

A clip of my chat with #MaggieQ about being believable as a movie action hero, cos her new cop show #BALLARD comes out this week. If time allowed I'd ask more on the topic of #actionmovie acting and the internal fire. Yah, she is a dreamy person. Full interview - @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social.

Please stop with using this button: "Let that sink in." It's SUNK IN, okay. Let's do less-lazy writing, in this time when thoughtful writing is endangered by the scumbags and AI chatspeak. Alt suggestions: "Take action." "That's fascist." "Hey, that's racist too, go figure!" #petty

This is the #SecretWars scene we most want to see recreated in the movie, let's be real. Pliable #PedroPascal wrapping tunic-clad RDJ up in his stretchy body, wearing the unstablest of molecules? Be still my beating everything. #FantasticFour #DrDoom #AvengersDoomsday

Zohran Mamdani is Mira Nair's kid? Well why didn't you mention that before?! That's awesome.

A new draft of my novel "JQK" is up and readable at The Blacklist. It's a serial killer thriller with casinos, sports gambling, an Asian American hero and villain. It's full of love and angst, also some gratuitous sex and violence. #NoCountryForOldMen x #RedDragon x (Asian) #AmericanPsycho. Ish.

My interview w/ #MaggieQ for @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social on BALLARD, her new cop show. She's my favorite action hero cos she can make you believe her character is in a real fight facing mortal danger from dudes with rocket launchers, and there's a real art to that. Also karaoke, Los Angeles.

Maggie Q on ‘Ballard’ and the Los Angeles Duality We got to chat with Maggie Q about playing the title character in Ballard, the upcoming TV series based on Michael Connelly's Bosch novels. Maggie gave insights on the casting process, creating believable action sequences, and the special duality…

I reviewed Ubisoft's ASSASSIN'S CREED SHADOWS for @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social (in throwback listicle format!). The pure escapist fun of getting to gear up as Naoe the ninja or Yasuke the samurai makes it a high recommend. #AssassinsCreed #ACShadows

maybe this is the game where Brunson scores 8 points in the final 9 seconds

"We'll build iPhones in the US and Apple will pay for it" MIGHT ACTUALLY be stupider than "We'll build a wall and Mexico will pay for it." Congratulations.

Golden State Valkyries win their first game ever! Uuuuugly game, but they won. Veronica Burton led the team with 22 pts / 9 reb / 5 assts. Kiki Iriafen and Sonia Citron of the Mystics are both awesome. Hope Tiffany Hayes is OK. Also, Tyrese Haliburton controls gravity with his mind. #GSV #WNBA

Paired #ANDOR content today: Podcast w/ @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social and a companion piece on the blog to discuss: rekindled joy from ROGUE ONE & A NEW HOPE, Kleya's no-damage stealth mission, the Leia phenotype, Syril's hair, Space Asians. Also, Superman. thenerdsofcolor.org/2025/05/19/h...

On #HardNOCLife, we discuss how #Andor made us love @starwars again https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2025/05/19/hard-noc-life-358-andor-and-a-new-hope-for-star-wars/

Rewatching #RogueOne after #Andor? I wrote about the new trilogy for @thenerdsofcolor.bsky.social , for #AsianAmerican Heritage Month. That whole "The Force is with me" thing kinda hits different now! #AAPI #AANHPI #StarWars #ANewHope thenerdsofcolor.org/2025/05/18/a...
