Hard to imagine something more politically violent, outside a land war, than the commander in chief using the bully pulpit to actively discourage vaccines for children.

Watching THE PROTECTOR ‘05 and a guy made an escape on a Segway, a vehicle I have not thought about in a long time, which made me remember an amazing piece of trivia: the owner of Segway died by falling off a cliff on his Segway. #filmsky

Currently in Bilewater in #Silksong, and starting to wonder if working on developing a game for six years makes one lose sight of the core difficulty, because this place sucks on ice.

I’m not autistic but can empathize on account of the Excel grid I use to track all Stephen King books and adaptations, with color coding to designate unseen, seen, and favorites.

ICE just straight up doing the “Family Guy” meme.

Something that’s been quietly happening at WB is that Mike De Luca and Pamela Abdy are steering it back to an older studio model where they produce a bunch of mid-budget hits that allow for bigger films like “Superman” or “One Battle” to exist. It’s a flip on the newer tentpole-reliant standard.

Fun! Liked this one more than “Mr. Mercedes.” Pete’s a likably layered young hero— little more selfish than you might think, even though Hodges absolves him at the end (Hodges being a guy with his own issues and obsessions). Switching to a completely unrelated author… #booksky

Rich Fred, Poor Barney?!

Never cared for the first one, but Bill Pullman and his son Lewis in a sendup of legasequels, and the return of Rick Moranis (far and away the best part of the original) is cool to see.

It is a fact: cats named Gob have their own way of doing things.

My boy Gob sleeping in an extremely normal way.

We're taking a quick look at the Big 5 Religions in class this week. I thought this visual graphic showing when each was founded and how it spread over time was super interesting... youtu.be/AvFl6UBZLv4?...

Finally saw spike lee’s BlackkKlansman. Loved it v much. Terence Blanchard’s score rivals Bernard Herrman or Henry Mancini’s work. I genuflect at Lee’s brilliance of making the end so jarring & upsetting after buttering us up with what is often a shaggy comedy.

The cure for the male loneliness epidemic is simple: go to the forbidden website that asks if you’d like to see a ghost. I made a new friend almost immediately:

Lovely conversation with Alma Katsu about her elegant supernatural-Succession tragedy FIEND at Word Bookstore in brooklyn tonight. Thank you @almakatsu.bsky.social for having me onboard! @wordbookstores.bsky.social

Vance when he learns Trump’s increasing the cost of couches:

They should also charge him on grounds of forcing a new “Star War” every year.

Jake Sully did a sequence break and completely skipped Ice World, going for the glitchless WR, follow him on Twitch.

Automatic captions make it difficult to watch videos because the viewer is forced to decipher misspelled or mistranslated words that appear in a string of text without any punctuation. These can be distracting and disorienting. Always edit your captions before publishing.

List 3 things you can talk about for 3 hours without preparation 1. Horror cinema history 2. Religion & mythology 3. Metroid & metroidvanias

What’s the funniest thing he could be reading? My first thought is “Jonathan Livingston Seagull.”

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social has had one of the most amazing… well, you can’t call it a comeback given his prolific VO career, but how awesome to see him in the flesh and crushing it in so many different roles.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is finally here! We posted an early, spoiler-free review of Paul Thomas Anderson's new epic last week. Check back with us Tuesday at Noon Pacific for our LIVE spoiler chat. ⬇️ youtu.be/NfIJuIu_Ma0 #OneBattleAfterAnother #PaulThomasAnderson @bfastallday.bsky.social

A third “repost” option labeled “image repost” that creates a screencap of the original post loaded with alt-text, so you can safely do your silly lil quote dunk without the OP getting the bad faith attention they crave.

Almost done, I don’t know if the setup needed to be so thoroughly set up, but the final third is cooking at a nice boil.

Subscribing to the print edition of @theonion.com has been one of my best recent decisions:

“Surf Dracula” permanently in my lexicon alongside “plot-blocking” and “idiot ball.”

These comments make more sense when you remember most of Gen Z only watches movies when it’s with their family in the living room. Otherwise, they’re on TikTok.

What she means is that every attempt is loaded with red flags.

As I was saying…

What... the actual fuck is this horse shit? You realize that he won't magically start funding you for lying, NPR? Nut the fuck up and say that they're lying about the causal relationship between autism and Acetaminophen, for fuck's sake.

Friend of mine wants to rank movie villains, I started compiling my list, but there are so many familiar (deserving!) villains like Darth Vader, Norman Bates, HAL 9000, Annie Wilkes. What are some of your favorite lesser-praised equally-deserving movie villains? These are a few I came up with:

Edited together a teaser for my latest short, OFRENDA, so that we can submit for a film grant to give it the post-production it deserves. Fingers crossed. Feeling good about it. Here’s a still since I can’t post it just yet.

Forgot to share my Mann ranking after completing my rewatch. I don’t think there’s anything terribly shocking in it besides maybe my ALI or PUBLIC ENEMIES placements? #filmsky boxd.it/NTMV2

Discover tab has its moments.

For the evening crowd

I have notes that not a single kid would give a fuck about, mostly pertaining to some of the odder thematic consequences* of the world building and flat dramatic arc stuff from the besties. But the animation is snappy and imaginative and the songs are fun. Best stuff is just the girls hanging out.

n(e)w: “KPop Demon Hunters” Time to make sure the kids are doing okay.

Uh, holy shit.

My favorite line in the novel is when Adrian Mellon’s despondent lover looks up and admits what he saw in Pennywise’s face: “It was Derry. It was this town.” That’s been fleetingly communicated in the prior films, so I’m hoping this series digs deeper into what that means.

No use running. You're already home. #ITWelcomeToDerry premieres October 26 on HBO Max.

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Also walkers doing a “Hannibal’s elephants crossing the Alps” is similarly fun.

Okay but I do think this is a fun poster.

When it's undeniable that the universe is rewarding you for making your daily word count goals in your Black Death themed novel. 💀 😆 #writing #plushies #theplague

When the damn rabbit hole has no bottom, it's a head-first plunge into hell.
