The Testament of Ann Lee was good, but definitely kind of a niche, esoteric thing for film sickos Fortunately I am a film sicko

How is it that both Masters of the Universe movies have to be set on Earth? It didn't work the first time so why are we doing it again? "But it's not the whole movie, it's just part of—" I don't care. Eternia can be interesting. I think we're just afraid of high fantasy stories that aren't LotR.

I don't really remember the content of the cartoon but I think I loved the Snorks just for the designs. I mean, just look at this comic! Mike nailed it.

I just watched this one tonight! Look at these sweeties

Dear Mr. Henshaw. 35 years later and just thinking about it still wrecks me.

One argument against Starfleet Academy that really pisses me off is that it will feel "dated" later on Comrade, TOS is dated. TNG is dated. ENT is dated. All Star Trek shows are products of their time and eventually age. All that matters is that their basic humanity, and SFA definitely has that

Dear reader, I laughed

oh cool I'm up to the "Peter Falk in brownface" episode of the Twilight Zone

If you thought calling a product "Soylent" was bad, I just saw an ad for mushroom-infused chocolates that proudly touts cordyceps as an ingredient

Went to the Met today. Saw this relief of a Horus feeding life to a bird Horus and immediately thought "Come on, eat the nom nom, pleeeeeease" That bird just dgaf

Canceled my Payoneer account, because they charge a $30 annual fee for not using it or making enough money. What's worse is when you close your account you can't make a new one later on with the same e-mail. They claim it's "regulations" but it really sounds like they want to keep folks trapped.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple SEE IT IN A THEATER one with a good speaker system that is all

If you don't have Paramount+, the first episode of Starfleet is on YouTube: youtu.be/n0sjDkoNgfY?...

Starfleet Academy debuts in just a few hours so, as someone who's seen the first few episodes, I just want to say the first episode was actually my least favorite. (Wait a few weeks, though...)

Dead Man's Wire: Fun! Really well shot. Bill Skarsgard has the same American accent as his brother.

My gut says this directly led to the early webcomic boom We were already primed for the format! And it was readily accessible!

Once I actually got an office job I realized how intrinsically funny the whole mechanism was. I can't say I liked my job, but I did like going to the office to see each day's hijinks.

I used to be a huge Dilbert fan as a teenager. I owned a bunch of the books, my parents got me a little plush Dogbert, I even wallpapered my locker in comic strips. I wouldn't say I grew out of it so much as the strip got worse as Adams became detached from the office life he was satirizing.

Now on Columbo: Vincent Price and Martin Sheen. I love that I didn't even need to look at the screen to know either of them; their voices are so distinctive.

Bsky likes exactly one cop, Columbo

So what I'm understanding is that I need to post about Columbo more

Watching Columbo and got to the episode with the Edith Head cameo. Very cool!

🎬 Released in 1989 and narrated by actor Avery Brooks (Spenser: For Hire, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), “Progress in Motion” highlights the strides made by the @MTA.info during the early years of its Capital Program. What transit infrastructure or bus and train car models do you notice?

This is also a good encapsulation of why I had to get off dating apps

Breaking: Zohran announced today that he will be fixing that one thing that has ambiently pissed you off for like 14 years.

Finished Cashero today. It's got an interesting premise: a dude inherits superpowers that can only be used by spending literal cash. Unfortunately, I don't think it really believed in that premise, as it went in a "your real superpower is your heart" direction by the end.

If you're saying "Fuck JK Rowling" and "stop keeping Harry Potter culturally relevant through fandom or funding" then you should drop FNAF too. Scott Cawthon is a Christian Conservative who uses his wealth to donate to republicans, including Trump and Mitch McConnell. www.axios.com/2021/06/15/f...

I predict that the MTV Rewind site that everyone's been buzzing about will be shut down not because of Paramount, but because of YouTube. YT really, really, *really* doesn't like it when you bypass its ads.

oh hey I've seen Starfleet Academy and liked it (though I have one big concern) www.engadget.com/entertainmen...

COVID really screwed us over in terms of respiratory diseases. Our lungs are scarred and even if you haven't had COVID there's a bunch of other diseases going around basically unchecked. It's the worst flu season since the '90s. And I never even heard of RSV until a few years ago

This is very cool, but what would really push it over the top is an infobox in the corner wantmymtv.vercel.app

Interesting, horrifying story. Of course I started wondering how long until it gets made into a movie. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Happy Three Kings Day and nothing else 🤴🏿🤴🏽🤴🏼

oh is there a new episode of Chainsaw Man out?

Well then. I even closed my eyes when I took the screenshot. I would have liked something with a little more built-in wealth but I'll take this.

I am not dead today. Good luck!

Celebrating the New Year with the song of my people: A Twilight Zone marathon

So a bunch of overseas MTV music channels are going off-air today. In the US we still have MTV Classic (mostly as a FAST thing). In honor of our collective loss, instead of posting my favorite music videos, I'm posting videos that I saw on MTV that you'd be like, "they showed *that* on MTV?"

As we say goodbye to the MetroCard today, here's what I have on display in my apartment: cc/ @2avesag.as

If you have Netflix, watch 100 Meters today. It's so good. Like Challengers, but minus the sexy churro eating.

Let's be honest he's doing this because he was never able to book one of the Transit Museum tours

I get really tired of "if Avatar has no cultural impact then why do so many people go to see it" I need you to understand it is like Pluribus. We quietly assemble, watch the film, then quietly melt back into society once the task is done. We will do it again when the next one comes out.

Sorry, this is my fault, I was thinking about what a douchebag David O. Russell was when I woke up this morning

I survived Whamageddon. Heck, I even managed to avoid hearing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" ...come to think of it I haven't heard much Christmas music at all this year. I might have a hermitage problem.

No Other Choice: imagine if Hank Hill lost his job at Strickland and proceeded to murder every other propane and propane accessories guy looking for a job in Arlen just because he can't imagine doing a job that isn't propane also Bobby is autistic and there are two Ladybirds

I just watched this and Linda Ronstadt is giving off strong "Carrie Fisher on cocaine during the Star Wars Holiday Special" vibes here

I just saw someone argue that Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie because it could be set on another holiday and then suggest the office party could be a Thanksgiving party... ... ... In all my 25+ years of being employed I have never been to, nor heard of, a Thanksgiving office party

remember to scare children into believing in santa so we won't have to fight the frost gigas again this year

Dyker Heights Christmas Lights are pretty good, but a lot of people are sleeping on the Bay Ridge Holiday House a few blocks away
