Rolling up to a pickup game with this and getting the shit kicked out of me

DEAR MARVEL STAFFERS -- I am available to assist in your transition to Burbank. The basics: Yes, there are three AMCs in one shopping center. No, there are no other movie theaters in town. No, the escalator for the AMC 16 never works. Now, as for parking... (1/45935)

FRANCE AND SPAIN, THE ETERNAL FOES

Antitrust laws were designed to stop this kind of corporate consolidation before it happens. Thank you @agrobbonta and the coalition of state AGs for taking action. #BlockTheMerger

Sam Neill was always great but his performance in IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is really something special.

I can already imagine walking into that store and picking up issues of USAGI YOJIMBO and LOVE & ROCKETS. Maybe I’ll get one of Will Eisner’s book (which will include extensive notes from cat yronwode). I’ll just have to browse past their extensive collection of ELFQUEST books.

“Islamic Republic of Japan” is something you’d hear about in the Mediabreak parts of ROBOCOP.

Gonna tell my doctor that I can quit Wellbutrin now. “You see Doc, the title sequence for X-MEN ‘97 Season Two, Episode Two is all the antidepressant that I need!” “What about the Lexapro?” “Yeah, let’s keep that.”

Does Universal know how much I would pay for the “watch PHANTASM with a Minion” experience?

BATMAN/GREEN ARROW/THE QUESTION: ARCADIA #4 is in shops today. Written and drawn by me. Colors by Romulo Fajardo jr. Letters by @simonbowland.bsky.social. This is the finale. I’d love to do more with any of these characters.

Why Does My Uncle Keep Calling Being Fucking Normal “The Woke Movement?” thehardtimes.net/blog/why-doe...

"Sometimes the conspiracy is just...capitalism." So much internet chatter is about finding "hidden villains." Look at the world around us. The villains ain't hiding.

I’m re-reading V FOR VENDETTA for the first time in decades. Still a great book. Sadly, the dramatic impact of one key scene has been subsumed by the part of my brain that turns everything into a Simpsons meme

Q:THE WINGED SERPENT rules and Michael Moriarty is fantastic in it. Also, I’m fairly sure it’s the first American film to mention Rupert Murdoch youtu.be/EK-lPfXA3uk?...

I'm glad somebody remembered this character. SNW was setting them and Sybok as major villains. I guess not. While the Enterprise is flying around, I imagine Angel is having...vigorous conjugal visits with Sybok

The Jewish side of my family comes from Scotland so I’m bemused to see pundits apply the “no true Scotsman” fallacy to NY’s recent elections “No Jew could vote for these candidates” “Plenty did” “No TRUE Jew could vote for these candidates.” It’s bullshit. Marisa’s comments below are spot-on.

The progressive socialist movement is not a form of extremism. It’s a rebuke against the fact that we’ve been under an EXTREME version capitalism since at least Reagan. Progressive socialism is moderation. It’s righting the ship, especially after decades of corporate-friendly Dem leadership.

I am taken aback by Criterion calling their upcoming Kubrick collection "complete." The utter gall. Did they even try to travel to an alternate universe where Kubrick finished NAPOLEON? If I'm paying $600 for your collection, you boot up the Large Hadron Collider and come back with a 70mm print.

Answer: He’s already the mayor of another city.

Just saying: CityWalk didn’t need security checks when Tony Roma was still in charge.

It’s not enough to steal jokes? He’s got to steal Willie Nelson’s act as well?

Evan Handler tells Fox News Digital you couldn't make It's Like, You Know... today because of liberal sensitivities

Thomas Edison complaining that "Electrocuting an Elephant" couldn't be made today because of woke

It's all of a piece. Our entire culture, politics, and and economy driven by aging white guys saying "But ... why aren't I happy? I was supposed to be happy."

DISCLOSURE DAY (2026) youtu.be/8QSuAz94Y8M?...

Lately I’ve been wondering about this: If one of the Dem candidates says “day one: we’re taking a wrecking ball to that ballroom” would they sweep the primaries?

I’m very pleased to have had the chance to storyboard DISCLOSURE DAY and work with Steven Spielberg, one of my filmmaking heroes.

Leslie Zevo warned us and we didn't listen.

“Don’t have a scene in your film where Eddie Deezen has a puppet that looks like Eddie Deezen. Even if you put him in a Ferris wheel cabin with the Mayor from JAWS, it will not work. Trust me.”

BACKROOMS (2026)

Spencer Pratt has learned an important lesson in politics: don’t turn the election into a “loser leaves town match.”

Inspired by the RoboCop commentaries on @blankcheck.bsky.social I rewatched ROBOCOP 2. I know people who prefer this to the original. I don’t agree, but I get where they’re coming from. There’s way more Phil Tippett SFX. The film is very interested in the sci-fi tech. I get how that’s appealing.

*Gerard Butler voice* “This. Is. Poly!”

"And Alexander wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer."

Every American mayoral race ends up like this: Dem candidate: A highly accomplished civil servant who is facing harsh criticism because they said ‘Israel could tone it down a notch.’ Repub candidate: A political newcomer known for their racist prank videos The election is still too close to call

“I paint models with directors every weekend at Guillermo Del Toro’s house” - Steven Spielberg, on his episode of The Rewatchables How is that not a show? Every weekend a new director and a new kit. “This week, Kelly Reichardt joins Steven to paint Aurora’s Metaluna Mutant model kit from 1974.”

The CBS Evening News with Bari Weiss (2025 - )

I just backed That One Matt Bors Comic on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

While rewatching SNL’s 60 MINUTES sketch from 1985, I realized that the Nathan Thurms of the world are the ones now running the news youtu.be/b_5jZ3DbwoM?...

So who’s playing Bari Weiss when they make THE INSIDER II? Andrea Riseborough? Rooney Mara? I say we go total meta psychodrama and cast Kate McKinnon (look it up)

By 'Klingon prison,' do they mean I'll get to meet Iman and kick an alien in the knee (which means I actually kicked him in the balls)? If so, you'll see me there at the Grand Opening.

Granola is famously for breakfast...

SPIDER-NOIR: I have heard the sweetest sound in all world, and it is the sound of Brendan Gleeson saying “superpowers”

Will anyone do a study on why virtuoso musicians try to inject "comedy" into their music? Examples: Frank Zappa, Les Claypool, Mike Patton, Ween These musicians are genuinely talented, but apparently that’s not enough for them. They must show you how “funny” they are as well. Why?

I didn't live in the Bay very long before it became obvious how precarious housing could be, and how hostile the system can be when you're trying to get back. I try to help. At the Crossroads supports homeless youth in San Francisco, and I'm fundraising for 'em: secure.givelively.org/teams/at-the...

Loved hearing Apocalypse say “I must strike the X-Men at their most vulnerable…the 1990s!” I can already hear the rest of his dialogue: “Sure, in terms of sales, the 90s were great for the X-Men. But once they kicked Claremont off the books and Jim Lee left for Image they were adrift creatively.”

This is how DC (National) primed readers for Jack Kirby’s Fourth World books. Question: When comic book readers saw “The Great One is Coming” did they think Jackie Gleason was getting a DC mag? Remember, DC was already publishing comics starring Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis

Yes, I'm suing Matt Taibbi.
