Everyone calm down already about Predator: Badlands! At best it's just fine. The story is an old cliche, completely predictable from the start. The action is bland video game boilerplate. Everything is shot to look flat. Nothing looks tangible. Is "shot" the right word? Maybe "animated" is better.

Always fascinated at how quickly Jason's hockey mask became his trademark. It wasn't introduced until the middle of Pt 3. Immediately after it was the centerpiece of the best Ft13 poster of all time.

These days it's Cristin Milioti.

Important information that requires your immediate attention.

Age verification? I had two car keys, one for the door and one for the ignition.

It's about time we saw some positive representation of Triffids in a halftime show.

I don't ship, but if I did...

This guy on "The Pitt" who gets Fiona Douriff's hand up his butt. He looked so familiar to me I had to look him up. Michael Nouri from The Hidden! @philnobilejr.bsky.social , he is 80 years old.

Underrated Incredible Hulk covers...

Trailer for the "Weapons" sequel looks great.

1977-1980, a Marvel comic was like a daytime TV show of the time. The books were literally 50% ads. There were two or more separate subplots (table-setting future storylines) that dragged on at one page per issue. Every issue stopped at a cliffhanger. It's a wonder I stayed interested in them.

I miss letters pages in comic books. From an issue of Incredible Hulk, circa 1983.

If a Sam Raimi movie is to place second at the box office, it's only right that it will have been beaten by a 21st century Evil Dead. A scrappy DIY horror movie whose development and production was years in the making. www.fangoria.com/how-markipli...

Marvel needs to return to the 70's era dumb Hulk. He spoke to something in all of us.

Within movie news articles I am suddenly seeing the terms "two hander" and "oner" used frequently. I don't know what they mean and I have no intention of finding out.

Sal Buscema aka The Greatest Incredible Hulk Artist of All Time

Me when I hear that it's happened

Looks like a found footage zombie movie.

#ThePitt truly outdid itself tonight with needle dick.

Stop scrolling and post two characters that bring you happiness

Cartoonist goals: Live a life that does NOT earn posthumous praise from trump.

Phones are poison to an artist. An artist needs a steady diet of observing everything around them, no matter how banal. Stare at the side of that building while sitting in a car. Look at the ceiling in a waiting room. An artist needs boredom.

Do this forever to all of them.

But he can't even act like a president here.

Even in these times of chaos and oppression, we don't talk enough about the Russo brothers' discrimination against The Hulk. They benched him in both of their Avengers movies. Now he's the only character in the Marvel universe not returning for Doomsday. What is their beef?!

I just noticed this quick shot in the trailer for The Pitt S2 and it has me VERY curious.

What if Pee-Wee's Playhouse were broadcast on Videodrome? This is a lot of fun.

I think Cameron has been feeding those takes into social media. The subtext of today's Variety article seemed to be "I can't believe I said I'll do two more of these. Maybe I won't have to if this one disappoints."

The strangest part of Gremlins is that the movie opens with the dad, Hoyt Axton, saying he's going to tell us the strangest story we ever heard. But he was out of town for the whole movie. Unreliable narrator!

The hottest track from the best christmas album of all time. youtu.be/mIpLlCsOkdU?...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER Cut 20 minutes from the front end and put them in the middle so we can have more scenes with Willa and Bob and Sensei del Toro.

A small cup of very thick egg nog for dipping bacon. Call it hog nog.

Go get your own damn figgy pudding.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go...

I met Gil Gerard at a comic con 15+ years ago. I was a comics guest. There was no line at his booth ( the con had just opened for the day). Being a fan I approached and talk with him for a bit.

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY Not since the era of SW prequels have I seen a fanbase in such deep denial. Stephen King fans are contorting themselves trying to like this fundamentally bad show.

Panel 3 has such a sense of menace.

Look at this happy dork who watched Evil Dead 2 from the projection booth with the King himself (circa 1999).

WAKE UP DEAD MAN The first 20 minutes of table setting felt like homework. Probably because the characters were merely being described by a single narrator instead of introducing themselves as in the other movies. And what is up with the priest's ears?!

Whenever I see a bar with "PACKAGE GOODS" on the sign I assume it is 300 years old and sells things wrapped in cloth and twine.

Little St. Nick (Beach Boys): The refrain "Christmas comes this time each year" is a random factoid of a lyric. Who is that for? Who doesn't know that?

I don't need an HBO doc about the Super Bowl Shuffle. I need one about this... youtu.be/rtCtZ5x9EJI?...

Sunday nights used to mean something in this country.

Green Tea makes me poop shards of seaweed. It's vicious stuff.

@philnobilejr.bsky.social when did you start moonlighting for the NYT?
