Now that's a surprise. The new Disney CCO, Dana Walden, had killed the live-action remakes that were in the pipeline. It was done to shift the focus on original works and "quality over quantity".

When you choose the movie and everyone hates it

Every time I hear about people who hate empathy, it makes me want to shake them until their fucking heads fall off. That's normal, right?

I'm not a big G. I. Joe guy, but if the guy was in the first issue of the Hama comic (or is Beach Head), I'm a fan.

The very big lesson of 2026 as it’s shaping up…

the Wall Street vibe over the past two years youtu.be/1XIcS63jA3w?...

Not me remembering that scene in Big Short where Melissa Leo working at S&P says ratings are fake and made up and take direction from the big banks. Funny since those banks are run by the same people who hate Mamdani. Also. Politico. Lol

I'm struggling to explain to non-fans how 'they found two missing episodes' feels. I think it might genuinely be a whole human emotion only accessible to Dr Who fans, like we're deep sea fish who can smell magnets.

These are the kind of race based negotiations I’m here for.

Yeah, pretty much. A not dissimilar haircut as well.

Giant Freakin Robot is shite. They are worthless. Don’t share their links (which is at this point blockworthy as far as I’m concerned.) Also this shows that they’re just desperate. They’re wallowing in their increasing irrelevance and think this is how they get clicks. Fuck ‘em.

AFRICAN GAZE was an exhibition showcasing the weird and wonderful art form that is the Ghanaian movie poster. Here are some of the best... 1/25 - Mrs Doubtfire

someone (me) once said my humble advice: if you stop treating your fandom like sports—where there are definitive winners and losers—you will be much happier, make more friends, and on your deathbed you will receive total consciousness

Comicsgate was a wild time because you had retailers literally doing anti-marketing for the books AND their shops. Not "I hate that we don't have a good Tony Stark book," but "They're ruining all these books with inferior BLACK characters." What black reader is ever going to set foot in your store?

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children. A major throughline of the Trump administration.

Just in case people know, Kobe Bryant's defense lawyers are responsible for inventing the "this rape victim only accused him so she could become famous" defense, which has continued to plague our society in the decades since. Plus, you know, he raped somebody. Fuck Kobe.

One, the Direct Market isn't the only place to get Marvel and DC characters. Two, the Direct Market isn't even the only place to get comics. We have black kids dropping money on Marvel Rivals and buying manga on their phones. The problem isn't with the audience. It's with the supplier.

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12. While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not. Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war. I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.

bookstores are getting increasingly conservative in their actual book buying numbers, so 1000% preorder that book you're excited about please. Every single copy helps.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

Other than a few lingering commedia del'arte troupes, pro wrestling is the only improvisational dramatic performance form in all of art. It requires ridiculous levels of skill. You don't have to like it, but to not *respect* it is like saying "I can't take ballet seriously."

I like how they were casting the staff of Starfleet Academy and were like "let's get the Oscar-winning mutterer, the 1990s Joe Dante muse, the gay UK stand-up and the gay US stand-up"

This show has hit its stride faster than any Trek other than Lower Decks (which is a perfect baby that arrived flawless) and I'm honestly so impressed

We started with restrain ICE. Then reform ICE, then landed squarely on abolish ICE. But I’ve moved on to prosecute ICE y’all. Every last one even if it takes 20 years of trials.

Gavin Newsom, Kristi Noem Nod Silently To Each Other In Plastic Surgeon’s Office

Dave Sim’s Mary Worth is just nothing but Wilbur strips.

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.

LRP: Man imagine if Rod Serling didn't smoke 3-4 packs a day. We could've had him for another ~30 years or so. Imagine having a voice as important as his, that was so dedicated to calling out racism and injustice, around during the Reagan years, or even the War on Terror years.

This is what you call the "Proof in the pudding".

Me, welcoming all my new followers.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

Frank Miller's WAY OF THE HOUSE HUSBAND

Look, I know this is a joke, but Will Eisner would have fucking *torn up* a guest arc on CHAINSAW MAN

And the days go by....

Bluesky is where all the coolest 50-somethings hang out and refer to the youngest posters (age 38) as kids

1983. Absolutely staggering. Sound on :) #anime #animation #2danimation

"Mainline conservatism is dying." Counterpoint: it's becoming what it always wanted to be, perceiving that there will be no blowback for taking off the mask.

The fuck you mean? Put the money in the bag.

adventure games from the 80s were intentionally designed to be tricky, mean and occasionally counterintuitive so that you could get stuck for long periods of time. this was called “value for your dollar”

31 years ago today, Krusty the Clown first mentioned saying “the quiet part loud,” an expression which has since gone on to widespread usage. #TheSimpsons episode “A Star is Burns” first aired March 5, 1995.

Am I happy Kristi Noem was fired? Yes, definitely. Do I still wish her ill and to never have a day of peace for the rest of her filler faced life? Also, yes.

It's not good for men to never dream.

*Fred Schneider voice* SLAM!

As someone who loves movies and often has controversial takes, I did not anticipate the number people who a) Did not know BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN by James Whale existed or b) Thought that story was in the original novel.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I got kicked out of Caeser's Palace for gambling when I was sixteen.
