just finished WALK HARD (first watch!) and can't believe I slept on it this long. It's cultural vandalism on the order of STARSHIP TROOPERS (the Verhoeven film) in how relentlessly it attacks, interrogates and obliterates its source material. An act of pure malice born from pure intentions.

In the well-over 100,000 documents written by founders included in the Founders Online database from the National Archives, no one uses the phrase "God's noble experiment." No one.

It's not directly on the Mall, but I still got the best spot in the whole city to watch the 250 fireworks show.

It is possible for someone to suck independent of being black. Clarence Thomas, for instance. If someone sucks, they should be yelled at for sucking (and for the reasons they suck)

I do not understand the video game industry. I get 1) Buy Doublefine 2) Make Psychonauts 3 3) Sell Psychonauts 3 4) Make Money I do not get 1) Buy Doublefine 2) Fire everyone at Doublefine 3) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ How does the second model (by far the dominant one right now) work?

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe... Web Rings on the shoulders of AngelFire. I watched <BLINK> tags glitter in the dark over GeoCities. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like doom WADs... on... FTP sites. Time... to logout...

Drop an image from your favourite film. 🖤📽️

safety first!

The audacity of NIGHT TEETH to reduce Sweeney and Fox to a three-minute cameo

my absolute favorite genre of cultural criticism is talking about America the way America talks about elsewhere

Not many people know this, but in 1961's THE PARENT TRAP, Joanna Barnes invented serving.

Watched THE PARENT TRAP ('98), first watch and damn, Lindsey Lohan was a bona fide star from her first moment on screen.

don't let anybody tell you this website doesn't have the juice

the nation's malignant narcissist having a breakdown because he very publicly fucked-up a reflecting pool turning it gross and racid is thematically too rich.

tree law! Tree Law! TREE LAW!

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

The New York Post writes about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social the way the Daily Bugle writes about @spider-man.bsky.social

vote for me for Director of the United States Mint and my first project will to be to make all our coins ferromagnetic I don't think this'll solve any problems, it'll create many new ones, but it should be done anyway

WEIRDSVILLE (2007, dir. Allan Moyle)

In America if you touch the president's special slime pool they send you to prison

Oh my God, the double breasted suit pool contractor guy is the same guy who tried to get public funding to revive Avanti with a four door sedan and a convertible in a factory in Ohio in the late '80s: www.theavanti.com/cafaro.html

WALL STREET (1987) was the original "Torment Nexus" tweet

"Watch it, Beleren!" the hulking football player with GARRUK written on the back of his letterman jacket says as he shoves the nerd in the blue hoodie into the locker.

Introduce yourself with four games (nobody said it had to be bideo james)

I have the full text of the MOU Iran and Trump signed. TRUMP GETS: Iranian leaders go on TV, say what a big strong boy Trump is and that they fear and respect him, they're total losers who surrendered in fear. IRAN GETS: to roll their eyes and do an exaggerated dick-stroking motion the whole time

I've always pushed back on "IDIOCRACY timeline" posts because that movie is a foul Malthusian screed but damned if it does't hit pure sometimes

Post a logo, emblem, or title (with its original font) that remains as perfect today as when it was new:

PARADISE ROAD isn't the worst movie I've seen by a long-shot, but it is one of the most arduous things I've endured. shrecknet.substack.com/p/paradise-r...

suddenly remembered this amazing screencap by @pftompkins.bsky.social

I'm sorry but there's no way a retired fence has buyers lined up for that jewelry; everyone involved in this heist is ending up at the bottom of a harbor when they go to actually sell the thing.

They're bringing back the Pretty Hate Machine frapp

You're not a real New Yorker until you've thrown cans at the Green Goblin and yelled "you mess wid' him, you mess wid' all'a us!"

my buddy had a dream about "newport snows" which where like, spearmint, not menthol so i made it for him in photoshop and got carried away

I don't remember who said it but "the NY Post writes about Mamdani the way the Daily Bugle writes about Spider-Man"

I'm sorry, the guy responsible for failing to successfully book Milli Vanilli for the Freedom Concert is who?!

reminder that droids have, if not souls, at least a sense of self and consciousness. And they are kept as slaves and servants, routinely having their memories wiped when it's inconvenient. Happy #Pride.

Bring back Sharon Stone as Catherine Trammel to face off against C.W. in Influ3ncers. Call me, @shudder.com, I've got a spec script in hand for this.

Me: (throwing open the hatch) YOU THERE BOY! WHAT DAY IS IT? Urchin: Why, it's "Jon Drinks Dog Cum" day, guv'na! Me: Then there's still time!

Rewatched THE CAT FROM OUTER SPACE in a fit of pique, and you won't believe how much of this '70s kid's movie is focused on hustling gangsters at a pool hall!

seeing the new "Smart Lego" Star Wars sets

The MLB commissioner's office is "95% of the way to defining a balk." The remaining 5% is outlining how exactly a balk is determined.

This is your periodic reminder that the STAR TREK: A NEXXXT GENERATION PARODY is on YouTube with all the sexytimes skipped over, and it is at the very least better than "Code of Honor" #trek

I have the sneaking dread that I'll be using this image a lot more as things get worse

there is a scene in MANDALORIAN & GROGU where Grogu attempts to walk on that beach but gets poked in the coconut by some small seagull-shaped bugs. Five stars, no notes.

Blackalicious and it isn't close. I saw him in St. Pete and he was clearly just checked out and didn't give one shit; between every song was "Saint Pete... <wait for applause> how we doin'?" Also the backup singers were mixed WAY too high and drowned out everything

introduce yourself with 10 bands / musicians you've seen live Cake Eels They Might Be Giants Crystal Method Presidents of the USA Reel Big Fish Snoop Dogg Eminem Good Charlotte GWAR extremely "the last time MTV was good" energy in that list.
