“Great news, we’ve seized millions of barrels of oil.” “Don’t get distracted, focus on Epstein.” “We also seized a Russian boat full of oil, we will destabilize the globe to monopolize key resources.” “He’s trying to take attention away from Epstein.” “Time to invade Greenland.” “Epstein!”

Me, exiting time machine: Jim! It’s me, your older self! Young me: whoa! Me: We need to save the future! Young me: we do? Me: First, there’s a guy in South Africa named El… wait, is that Goldeneye? Young me: yeah, I’m stuck in the Facility. Me (sitting down): okay what keycards do you have

Sure do.

It’s all fun and games until I’m on a battlefield running from the dapperest killbot you’ve ever seen.

“Angel.” Say what you will about Whedon, the prick is good at the nuts and bolts of narrative.

@repbradsherman.bsky.social, as one of your constituents, it was very discouraging to see your KTLA interview where you never said “impeach,” and where you admitted your efforts to rein in such acts by a president were subverted because he simply *kept the operation financially negligible.*

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

KILLER KANE WILL RETURN IN AVENGERS DOOMSDAY

👀 Is it happening, chat?

New “Doomsday” footage reminds me of something I struggle with re: these movies, which is that the bigger they get, the more they feel like fantasy wars akin to something like “Return of the King.” It’s just generally less of the stuff I like about the idea of superheroism.

Like the snow leopard in winter, or the jaguar in darkest jungle, the feline blends in effortlessly with its natural environment.

Anybody wanna see the new SEND HELP poster?? Tickets for Sam Raimi's new banger are on sale NOW! Original movies need your support in the theater, they really do. And this one is going to rock your face off, promise.

Running for office on a platform to make Robin Hood fun again.

Facebook is gonna die, and with sudden swiftness when it does. ❤️

As a person who bounced off HOLLOW KNIGHT maybe 4 times, I’m loving SILKSONG dearly. It’s meaner, faster, and plays better to the rhythm of my anxiety disorder.

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Guillermo Del Toro hasn’t made a bad film yet, and frankly it’s starting to weird me out a little.

Theater chains need to start offering M&M / popcorn combos because those people *know* my shameful ass is popping that candy right into the popcorn for salty sweet heaven when Kidman’s foot hits the puddle.

I might not be leveraging my contacts well so... I'M LOOKING FOR WORK! Production/logistics manager with 10+ years in procurement. Focus on boardgame production & PRINT MEDIA PRODUCTION I managed production @ Fantagraphics so I've done graphic novels, floppies, paperbacks. Pls share!

There wasn’t an excellent “Mortal Kombat” game until “Deadly Alliance.” Before then, the fight styles of characters were too similar, with only special moves to really differentiate them. The games had the aesthetics and the pleasurably incomprehensible lore, but not the bedrock gameplay.

FAVORITE FIRST-TIME WATCHES OF 2025 Addams Family Values - "Really, Debbie? ...pastels?" All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) - That fucking ending. Those soldiers looking back at me. Anora - Earned its wins. The Birdcage - I keep thinking about Nathan Lane on that bench.

I miss her, man. I just want her back.

Star Wars: EPISODE X Babu Frik’s Sexy Summer

For any Titanic nerds out there, my colleagues in the UCL Marine safety group have just published an astonishingly detailed analysis and supercomputer simulation of how Titanic sank, linked to witness statements & the best available evidence. Full paper here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10....

Halfway thru, some mixed emotions when the author is a parapsychologist who says stuff like, “These former homeowners are charlatans, unlike me, a guy convinced a rabbi ghost conjured in a seance gave me a cardiac event.”

THE GUNSLINGER: THE SLOW MUTANTS (1981) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 20” x 15” I took up the challenge of illustrating this scene illuminated solely by the flash of a gunshot. In so many ways, it was the shot that set the stage for Roland’s epic journey to the Dark Tower. 1/4

Can anyone recommend a good place to start with Mr. Campbell’s work?

Always breaks my heart just a little when i have to press a button that says "reject cookies."

As a culture I feel we've lost the fine art of having the action movie hero fight One Very Large Guy

“I was going to post my opinion on social media, then I realized that probably won’t do dick. So I’m here to get more involved in my community and our politics”

In pretty much every horror flick nowadays, blood isn’t that dark. It looks a lot more red. I could swear most people in these flicks bleed oil.

MONUMENT (1992)
 Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 32" x 20" 

After Isaac Asimov passed away in 1992, I was asked to provide cover art for a posthumous tribute in "Asimov's Science Fiction" magazine. 1/4

A quirk of being extremely online is logging into a microblogging site and seeing that the main character of the day once again is Matty Iglesias, a guy who roughly 338 million of 340 million people in the USA are completely unaware of, a guy who functionally does not exist.

find you someone, etc

Get yourself someone who looks at you like I look at any slice of pizza at the beginning of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze...

Some years back, a company I was at got a bulk order of “Hill Street Blues” to caption, and I was floored by how good it was. Quiet and reasonably serious / plausible look at fallible, human police. Felt like an influence on “The Wire” (if not as long-form or grim).

Excited to be heading back to Park City one last time for Sundance in January. I'll be doing some coverage for The Ringer, but should also have the capacity to pick up a few reviews if there's a need for them out there. Editors, let me know!

There is no way these books wouldn’t just be “James Cameron’s Fetishes: Volumes I and II,” and frankly I’m in.

Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

I refuse to insult the noble and resilient cockroach, who is only behaving according to his immediate and urgent needs, by associating him with these sapient, conscious, craven fuckos.

Are there some more fantasy movies and books in the realm of NeverEnding Story, Phantom Tollbooth, or Labyrinth that I'm unaware of? Fantasy stories that aren't about elves and dragons and other Tolkien-esque things? Where all of the creatures and concepts and races are new and made up and weird?

fwiw I kinda liked the Chevy Chase doc, thought it was fairly frank, and watching it I got an impression of a guy who’s a kneejerk dickhead. When you watch him evade a question or toss an insult, it feels like an instinctual cope. Doesn’t excuse his horseshit but shades it. (1/2)

I'll be honest. I don't care if proposing articles of impeachment is an empty gesture that will ultimately die in the Republican controlled congress, I want Dems to do it anyway. I want them to put political pressure on their opposing party even if it's doomed to fail.

I support RJ if he wants to make different stuff, or do another Star War, develop more TV, whatever, but I’d also be happy if he pops out one of these bad boys every few years. Each one is excellent, each one is distinct, and Daniel Craig is just fucking fabulous.

“There was zero rhino in those pills.”

n(r)w: “Glass Onion” If this is the worst of the series, what a compliment to the series.
