I made a playlist of largely patriotic film score jams.

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

never forget that Peter and MJ had a great marriage and the only reason Marvel undid it is because they hired writers who didn't think a married couple could be interesting I have always wanted to find those writers' wives and give them my sympathy

Christopher Nolan, an important film director. "I, Christopher Nolan, will take Greek myths and make them serious and important." Me, a nobody. "Will you do that by turning the brightness right down, Chris, is that how?" Nolan *on the verge of panic* "No more questions. Important films to make."

This is genuinely one of my favourite radio plays of all time. a few months back, i got to break the news of its existence to the Fulcrum Film Club podcast. They then asked me to come on to discuss its origins, production and why Dirk is a genius. open.spotify.com/episode/5pta...

it’s hard to explain what peak comics twitter was like … but you’d tweet a preview of a new cover featuring Dolphin, and within 20 mins an account called “MeraDeservesBetter” would show up to tell you your Dolphin support was deeply morally problematic because 1/47

Surely somebody has written this Stucky fic. "Holy SHIT, Steve!" "What? What's the matter?!" "That....was not that size the last time I saw it!" "Well, yeah, nothing about me was." "Does it hurt?" "It's feeling a little self-conscious." "If I touch it, am I gonna lose my other hand?"

The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

Mmmmm... dense mass.

Obscure YT of the day: Tommy Lee Jones (THE FUGITIVE) & Virginia Madsen (THE HOT SPOT) star in 1988's noir GOTHAM! Frederick Forrest (ONE FROM THE HEART) costars. youtu.be/3flWh3WBsKA?...

Move fast and break spirits.

New Weird Little Guys: I Watched Uwe Boll's Far Right Power Fantasy So You Don't Have To 🎞️ This week, Molly watched Citizen Vigilante, a new film from the world's worst director. @socialistdogmom.bsky.social @whysophiewhy.bsky.social linktr.ee/weirdlittleg...

Some yutz took off across the Bourne Bridge this morning apparently at triple-digit speed. I think I speak for anyone's ever crossed that bridge when I say "HOW?!"

Nope. You wanna pray someplace where I can't walk away from you, you do that in your head, not this performative nonsense.

Fred sighed. Once again, no one understood his "Peter Sellers in THE MOUSE THAT ROARED" cosplay.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

@priscillapage.bsky.social is a brilliantly insightful film writer. Go sign up for her Patreon and be blown away by her essays on the works of Michael Mann, Shane Black, and many others.

"The idea of you nerds owning something without us being able to yank it back any time we choose made us furious," said a spokesbeast for Sony. "We would firebomb your houses if we could." They then did...I dunno, something appalling, you know the structure of this bit by now.

Never reading your Substack. If you don't know why, that's another reason I'm never reading your Substack.

And you're just not going to believe this: It sounds fuckin' awful!

Do you want to read an Arthurian story that doesn't just have words in interesting combinations but also pretty pictures? You should read the original run of KNIGHTS OF PENDRAGON by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Gary Erskine (with some smashing covers by Alan Davis). Dark eco-fantasy myth.

Free to download, and printable on standard Avery 5164 shipping label stickers. Enjoy!

You know what they say, "Remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches can now breathe underwater for up to 3 hours thanks to tiny SCUBA suits."

A DIVIDED DUTY, the 20th--20th! How did we get here?--October Daye book, comes out on September 29th! We are currently running a super-awesome pre-order campaign for independent bookstores, and in the interests of convincing you to order a copy, I am going to recap the series in poetic form.

Seth Moulton bursts into tears. "At last," he howls, "No parent need fear their precious offspring being trod underfoot by a trans athlete, most of whom are monstrously gigantic." He then screams "I'm not out of touch, *YOU'RE* out of touch."

Heads up for next week: the House will be debating and voting on HR 7757, the KIDS Act, which contains a revised version of KOSA. What's more terrifying is this bill is listed in the batch of bills to be brought up on Monday, which means the GOP doesn't expect much opposition to it passing.

What is it with the fucking Epstien files jokes this season of Game Changer? I can't be the only one that finds joking about Sam or anyone else being in the files distasteful and deeply not funny? Children were abused, but ha ha funny to joke about Sam Reich being in the files for points.

TMZ DC with perhaps the most brutal video from Trump's Great American State Fair, showing Dr. Oz on stage bragging to Dean Cain about how big the crowd is, only for the reporter to pan around and show absolutely nobody is there. Original post: x.com/i/status/207...

@clairewillett.bsky.social I haven't watched it, but somebody did a Youtube show called THE CATE MORLAND CHRONICLES.

voters: alright dems, we are sick of these goons. we're ready to see what you've got. hit it cory booker: okay well let's start with the obvious. you should have to show your id to go on the computer

"We need you to go in, Arbuckle." "Call me Garfield."

This is a delight. You run around San Francisco ruining the evil plans of tech bros. It is, essentially, an Alec Hardison simulator.

David Bowie, Henson, and the 40th Anniversary of Labyrinth: A Mini Oral History Four decades since the release of this misunderstood classic, the film’s actors, puppeteers, and musicians reflect on its legacy.

Everyone is talking about Trump’s mock up arch at the Great American State Fair, so I filmed it from top to bottom and front to back for everyone who can’t see it in person.

Arch de Failure

We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote for a package of internet-freedom destroying bills is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th. Spread this beyond Bluesky, ASAP. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

After the trailer for the animated movie last week, I got inspired to do some stop motion with the Knightfall figures. This one is my “vibes” project, I need to continue it. I also need to re-read the story ahead of the movie.

The only World Cup penalty shootout you need to see today.

If you see this, post an Archer

Re-reading Infinite Crisis does make you realise that it was inevitable Geoff Johns’ career would lead to a face off against Comics In 1986’s Final Boss

There was a bit of chat regarding DARK CITY this week, and the superiority of the Director's Cut. Something reminded me of Jennifer Connelly's first scene. In the studio cut, she's dubbed by singer Anita Kelsey.

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Did an amazing show in Gardiner, ME last night, and got to meet a local author!

Patrick Swayze didn't throw himself out of a perfectly good airplane backwards just for you to tell me "AI is inevitable."

Mary Tyler Moore didn't shock herself and everyone on set sinking three pool balls with a single shot so you could tell me that AI is inevitable.
