FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!

On my way to the movie theater I walked past a Hot Topic that had a bunch of Von Dutch and Ed Hardy gear on display in the window, and now I think I need to find a mirror and confirm that I too haven’t somehow regressed to my 2003 self.

PREY and BADLANDS are in a fascinating dialog with each other about the idea of the outcast trying to earn a place in the community, and the role that siblings olay in that struggle. Down to composer Sarah Schachner repurposing parts of Naru’s theme from PREY for BADLANDS.

PREDATOR: BADLANDS — not quite as good as PREY (a film that IMO transcends the franchise entirely) but still very, VERY good.

I love it white people on here do a racism at me thinking I’m one of them and then block me when I point out I’m Latino rather than take a moment to go, “oh crap, I fucked up, why’d I do that?!” Or, y’know, apologize. Such delicate lil’ snowflakes.

The number of people reflexively yelling at this who don’t seem to grasp that a 1-year extension puts it squarely *AFTER* next year’s midterm elections is further evidence for my theory that a lot of y’all don’t actually want to win, you just want someone to scream & stomp at like a fussy toddler.

I love Steven Soderbergh.

“What other recourse do you have but to live? …..and fight giant kaiju?”

A fun part of having congenital orthopedic issues is getting to add *at least* $100 to the cost of any new pair of shoes to cover new supportive insoles or other customization just so you can wear them.

Starting to feel like maybe we were all too harsh on that snowplow that ran him over.

Anyone else now have an immediate and completely involuntary emotional Pavlovian response to the sight of someone in a red baseball cap?

Every single person involved with this decision deserves to be tried for crimes against humanity.

Amazon sent me a physical print catalog in the mail for some reason, which feels a little, uh, counter-intuitive to their business model.

Hey #artsky, help Dalia out!

Oh good, the techies are reinventing phrenology yet again.

One thing I’ve learned as a practicing martial artist is that a lot of people assume that preferring conflict deescalation and non-violence means you can’t fight *at all* and get genuinely shocked when you knock them down on their tush. That’s conservatives writ large.

Just splurged on a ticket for PREDATOR: BADLANDS tomorrow afternoon, and with my current circumstances being what they are this may be the last film I see in the theater this year.

So what kind of food do we think they’re going to use when this gets adapted into a Law & Order episode? Hot dog? Falafel wrap? Gyro? A homemade PB&J for that extra splatter effect?

I at this juncture all but certain that anyone who demands that another person quit their job in protest has only ever worked a basic service industry or retail job, and never had anything resembling an actual career.

I have an uncomfortable feeling that a lot of the dynamic politics coverage we've been seeing from WIRED isn't too much longer for this world.

The sitting Health & Human Services secretary pulling an immediate "exit, stage right" the moment someone has an actual health emergency in his presence sure is on-the-nose!

You guys, there’s an easier way to do that.

She has 100% read the writing on the wall and recognized that the end of Trumpism may well be on the horizon, and is now repositioning herself to best endure, and perhaps exploit, whatever status quo comes next.

Stunned onlookers were overheard asking “Did we die? Is this Hell?"

It’s payday! And what might possibly be my last full paycheck for the forseeable future, so long as the shutdown continues.

The whole of the internet is now run on the things that would have not made it past your email junk filter 20 years ago.

Seriously, if you’re a Mamdani supporter, and in the wake of his monumental, deserved win last night, you’re spending your day mad that Chuck Schumer wouldn’t say who he voted for, you need to go rethink your priorities. You won. Chuck lost. Take the W.

A couple of weeks out from the start of the holiday season.

Oh I love this Tom Waits song.

The NYC “Alf Hog” mayoral administration.

Every actual quote I hear about the sandwich trial is what I imagine the trial of the Hamburglar would sound like when he finally got hit with those RICO charges.

Officer Lairmore seems to think he's in the "Tarare" episode of ATLANTA.

ffs

I have one of the people J.C. Is talking about here in my mentions right now and it’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so annoying. (And kinda pathetic)

Anyways, back to being a Graham Platner hater.

For the record, I’d eat a street cart hotdog made of goat.

Is it because he’s senile and gets lost easily? It’s because he’s senile and gets lost easily, isn’t it?

Among other things, last night was a demonstration of the abject moral necessity to tell doomers to fuck off.

Screw it.

whos in the social media bubble now you gooncel freaks

This part.

So incredibly giddy about all of last night’s wins that I woke up with the urge to go buy a king-size box of Milk Duds and cram them all into my mouth like a little kid.

I been sayin’.

This I think was actually the biggest win of the night.

THEY DO NOT BREAK US THEY BREAK UPON US

I non-ironically hope she makes a film about it.

She’s really been putting the “mess” in Messing lately, huh?
