Grogu, obviously.

It was this for me. By the time I left Twitter I'd begun to tense up just visiting it, and I was burned out by being condescending to the folks trying to be nasty to me. When I came here, I fully signed onto the "don't engage, just block" ethos and tried to model a better online version of myself.

RIP John Schnepp, but am glad that particular era of Collider is over.

ALMOST. For the dumbest reason you could possibly imagine and would never guess in a million years because it was that stupid.🤣🤣🤣

The very definition of handsome/pretty on the outside, completely fucked up on the inside.

The trail of broken hearts she will leave on this planet will be legendary.

I SWORE he was saying “Mr. Chomandi.”

In general? Nope. Do I think social media sites rise and fall? As a former employee of America Online, yes. Also, people react and respond to social media differently now than they did before. Not always in bad ways - I'm a kinder person on Bluesky than I was on Twitter. But things always change.

Never has a table scene made me do this:

Will be re-examining this again in a few days: boxd.it/dOJ69n

Temecula Day felt like the last time Twitter was absolutely fun. And damn near everyone on the app was on board with the fun.

I can point to countless examples in movies where audiences complained that the animation looked weightless and too fast, and indicate all of those times that the director asked for it to be exactly that way.

When a director asks the animation team to make the lumbering, gigantic 8 foot tall creature “move even faster with more energy” I absolutely consider that a directing fail, but I also consider that a communication/persuasion fail between the VFX animation supervisor and the director.

Scott Weinberg had a GOOD take reply and Duncan Jones applauded his good take and went even further.

To be clear - the original ignorant take was from John Campea who wrote “Remember folks... don't blame a director for bad CGI. That's on the VFX teams. The director doesn't sit there and model/animate/roto... they have VFX companies and teams that do that.”

This Daily Wire production sounds like a total shitshow and any film that doesn’t take safety seriously can fuck off right into the sun

Social media peaked at “Meet Me in Temecula”/Vine Era in general. The beginning of the end started during the 2016 Presidential Election race and we’ve all been limping towards the inevitable ever since.

Lmaooooooooooooo

En Vogue released their debut album ‘Born To Sing’ 36 years ago on April 3, 1990 album.ink/EVBornToSing

discourse on this site every other week

“It’s time to get to know the UCLA players better.” Me:

“Is the platform bluesky growing or shrinking or stagnating?” Sure, cool, yup, valid questions for someone & that someone is NOT ME 🥂 I am trying to finish a book in the year 2026. That, friends, loved ones, garden, defeating fascism, mutual aid, that’s all my 4 remaining brain cells can handle 🫡

I genuinely do not care how large or small this website is or gets. I just care that people I like are here& a lot of you are the kind of weird gremlins I enjoy or at least can tolerate. And so far you’re mostly tolerating me, so thanks. My takes are in fact the hottest ones so you have good taste 🔥

What in the blue blazes…

I can't believe Jonathan Majors fumbled a Marvel bag, still got Meagan Good as a consolation prize, and is now ****ing things up for her by getting involved in the MAGA grift circuit.

Honestly if this place just ends up being me and 6 random people who make me laugh and introduce me to new, interesting things… Im good.

Bluesky is dying, the people aren’t posting the way I like* *increasingly ludicrous takes way outside their lane and the consequential slam dunks on them, and also posts that end up on the news for some reason and help destroy democracy

Special thanks to @tombrevoort.bsky.social for chatting with us about Marvel and a funny tale of the making of New Avengers. @brianmbendis.bsky.social @wilmoss.bsky.social my people will call your people, lol youtu.be/h5xdDaHjxtw?...

Things I’ve never watched: The Apprentice The Kardashians Fox News I win!

“On the Internet, you used to be able to …” I’m going to stop you right there. On the Internet, some people have always been toxic assholes & too many tech firms have allowed that to be Weaponized & monetized. that’s ongoing. So far I don’t see that happening on a major basis here, but we shall see.

Some of you did not moderate the comment area on an American Idol or Battlestar Galactica blog post at a major newspaper’s site and it shows. I would not go back to that kind of blood sport online combat if you paid me. (And of course I wasn’t paid to moderate those comments lol sob 🥴)

I think back to the message board flame wars I endured in the 90s & the aughts & also jeebus, moderating my own comment area at a large newspaper site & mannnn that shit was fucked. I would’ve liked to have blocked just a whole fuckton of people on old Twitter. there’s no golden age to return to imo

I do not condone pile ons anywhere & I also think some people here are fucking annoying. But I’ve been online since early 90s &this place is far from perfect but allows me to moderate my experience. I use all the tools & mute/block a LOT & want more tools. What we have now does help, just my 2 cents

Hence me having my own site & my newsletter. I will stay here as long as I am able to moderate my experience w the tools they offer. I will leave if that’s no longer possible. Yes, there’s unhelpful, annoying & cruel behavior here. I’m somewhat able to moderate it here. If I can’t, I’ll be gone.

Like I don’t even think I would know that people on the left are yelling at other people on the left because I only ever see like three people’s posts on here

From what I can tell Bluesky is dying not because of leftists or whenever but because the algorithm really fucking sucks

Pre pandemic shutdown, I would have seen 20-30 movies by now.🤣 I’ll eventually catch up tho.

Good afternoon 🌞 and happy Friday 💃🏽dolls. I hope everyone has a phenomenal day today. Welcome to Aries ♈️ season and my birthday 🎉 is tomorrow. I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.

And this, I think, will always be the self-limiting factor of any online platform. These places turn nasty! Each one is a new little island and its first inhabitants play Lord of the Flies with each other.

Online communities are vicious and always have been. When human beings see an opportunity to create new hierarchies with themselves and their friends on top, they will take it. What we have here is nothing compared to early Bookstagram. Those ppl ate their own young. And they were tote bag ladies!

Social media en toto is losing relevance + utility. We will not see another "global water cooler" like peak twitter again in the medium-term. This is not specific to Bsky. Threads has a broken algo AND the worst of the griftfluencer class. These are just the times we live in. New things will emerge

Post your top 3 films of 2026 so far. Here are mine:

Happy 85th birthday to Eric Braeden aka Victor Newman

This is so Kendall and Logan Roy coded lol

A decent day for dad rock aficionados

From 2018: "Every once in a while, Twitter is great. Like the time a bunch of film directors dunked hard on an ignorant VFX take."

People aren’t pulling enough stunts for me. You don’t have to argue back and forth with these people about your race, gender or identity I promise. Just play the same stupid ass games as them. I promise they’ll quit first

That’s when you go to whatever the military version of HR is and scream, cry and throw up about discrimination. I’d be laid out like Jesus on the cross asking why did Pete forsake me
