So, #SunriseOnTheReaping has Joseph Zada *and* Edvin Ryding, yet somehow no queer relationships? Who is this movie even for??

We know about quite a few cancelled Star Wars projects, but my white whale is the game(s) that Clint Hocking has been working on in 2010-2012. There's zero information on it. Must've been something big, though. @lucasartsmemory.bsky.social, have you perhaps heard something?

Ever since I became a #SWTOR fan, I keep thinking Commerzbank has a quest for me.

Our household has now moved past cooperative games and into domestic violence. #toxiclove

[gestures at The Last Jedi discourse intensely]

On this day, thinking about this little bit from a 2002 kids' novel Boba Fett: Crossfire by Terry Bisson.

I think at this point it's safe to say that Jason Momoa has filled the niche of Hollywood's fun rockstar weirdo, vacated by Johnny Depp. Just wish he found his Burton / Verbinski and tried out more challenging roles, too.

Do you ever think how there's a whole docuseries on the making of #GalacticBattlegrounds, just a couple of mbs in size, but it was neither uploaded on YouTube, nor is available through the Internet Archive? A not at all frustrating thought.

Distributors don't normally pay media critics for good reviews. Sure, there are subtle forms of influence, but no amount of junket access or snacks at press screenings is going to sway your opinion in any significant way. It just motivates you to treat people with respect. (as you should anyway)

Whenever I listen to interviews / podcasts about #JediOutcast, my mind gets scrambled a bit, because Mike Gummelt, the designer of JKII's spectacular lightsaber combat, sounds exactly like Pedro Pascal. (12:20 onward) youtu.be/uhDOdC7sDYs?...

Will never not be amazed by how the fourth #PiratesOfTheCaribbean movie gathered some of the greatest character actors in Britain, used them in a single scene and NEVER AGAIN.

Randomly laughed, listening to an interview with a FPS level designer who characterized his approach as "dorky" design. Took me a few seconds to realize he meant "door-key".

I kid you not, so far, according to the timeline: • Three seasons of The Mandalorian • The Book of Boba Fett • Ahsoka • Skeleton Crew All happen within a single year!

Yeah, anyway. Jane Schoenbrun's Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, out August 7th. Sammi Cohen-directed Elle premiers July 1st. Isabel Sandoval's Moonglow is now making festival rounds. Lilly Wachowski-produced Trash Mountain is expected Late 2026.

Peter Jackson is one of my favourite filmmakers and I respect his career choices, since they seem to have come from a genuine place. That said, god, I wish he was doing literally anything else since 2011 than reheating his past LOTR success with diminishing returns. Let it go.

Okay, so apparently, the "unidentified Imperial warlord" from #TheMandalorianAndGrogu is called Lord Janu. And, seeing how Favreau mentioned that fans are gonna "like his name", I think the implication is that this is Janu Godalhi, @infinata.bsky.social's cameo character from Revenge of the Sith??

I really hope @skipintroyt.bsky.social eventually makes another episode of Copaganda, breaking down the ouevre of Chuck Norris and/or Walker, Texas Ranger specifically. I feel like there's a LOT to uncover there beyond the memes.

And now I can't stop thinking about #MisterDesigner. One of the few Soviet horror films, released just as the country was crumbling and set during a similar period of pre-WWI decay. The story of an artist who sought to transcend death with his works — and succeeded. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYSb...

Apparently today is #WorldBearDay, so salutations to myself and my hairy brethren!

Fun fact: The very first scene they shot was Luke & Uncle Owen buying droids from the Jawas. However, early on in that scene Luke has a conversation with Aunt Beru... ...that was actually shot ten days later at a redecorated hotel 200 kilometers away from the salt flats where production began!

Louder for the people in the back! Kelly Marie Tran is a wonderful human being who deserves to be in any films or media franchises lucky enough to have her. Haters gonna hate. It never was nor will be her fault.

Just had a dream so spicy and yet wholesome, it may have unlocked a new fetish for me.

Started #TheBlacklist S2, and it already has a huge advantage over the first season by adding Mary-Louise Parker and Paul Reubens (doing his best Edna Mode impression) to the cast.

I guess I genuinely underestimated the cult of Chuck Norris in Russia, if merely suggesting that he was not a very good guy (and endorsed much worse guys) sent people into frenzy.

Harvey Dent, but make him an Ace Attorney character. (complimentary)

"Say what, your sorry ass just did?"

It may be #BrandNewDay, but some Marvel traditions never die.

We are truly living in a season of Veep.

I pray that one day Denis Villeneuve rediscovers the joys of color 🤷‍♂️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_9v...

Ridley Scott remains undefeated.

Never have I been happier that these days I mostly play games that are 20+ years old.

I know some folks who specialize in breaking up trade blockades.

#MaulShadowLord seems to be as close to horror as Star Wars ever got! This shot made me audibly gasp.

Stumbled upon a 2018 interview with Noomi Rapace, and is this the Aunt Gladys prequel movie?

Justice for my queen Rose Byrne, though! 📸 Sami Drasin

Call me a basic bitch, but as someone who counts Oppenheimer, Anora, and One Battle After Another among his favourite films of their respective years, I've been very pleased with the #Oscars lately.

i love these guys

I can't recall the last time I was so moved by a best actor win. MBJ played twins. He had to have Swiss-watch timing to make it work. He's a movie star in both roles. He also coproduced Sinners, BTW, and not in name only; he shouldered it the way Warren Beatty drove films directed by others.

And the best part is that Joss Whedon is NOT involved!

An ice phoenix was reborn tonight. #coolcoolcool

Been looking into the very productive relationship between LucasArts and Factor 5, the developers of the famed #RogueSquadron trilogy. I knew that in '96 Factor 5, originally from Germany, moved to the US for easier communication with LucasArts. I never realized they settled literally next door!

"Have the beavers stopped hopping, Clarice?"

The spoiler in question is that Grogu doesn't speak. Just like he never spoke in the series, nor was teased to speak in the movie. It's one of this character's defining traits. You might as well "spoil" that Grogu doesn't grow wings or turn purple. What are we doing here?

So, let me check if I understood #Hoppers correctly. We should always strive for compromise even with crooks who exploit vulnerable communities. But there are also some people (conveniently enough, within those same communities) who are 100% rotten and it's okay to kill them? Cool, cool.

Inspired by a thread on The Other Site, here are some of my favourite shots from Russian films of the past decade.

Feeling cute and hairy post-shower. #bearwithme

It's astonishing how little sense this edit makes. They identify themselves with Superman (the epitome of kindness), but also with Walter White, Saul Goodman, Les Grossman, and Kylo Ren. Where is an inkling of logic or consistency in their messaging? What is any of this supposed to mean?

Ain't that the truth.

Low-key obsessed with this tiny promo for the orginal PC version of #ObiWan. What were Steve Shaw and team cooking? Who were we supposed to fight on Corsucant? Are those the mysterious "Sith agents" mentioned in some previews? I wonder if @lucasartsmemory.bsky.social has a higher-res screenshot.

I've fully synchronized with my parents when they were my age. After a full day of work, I only have enough energy left for an episode or two of #TheNanny over dinner. But where in the 2000s my mom watched the Russian adaptation, myself and companion are discovering the OG with Fran Drescher.
