Watching Sam Neill’s Merlin from 98 and wow this looks so silly

Obsession’s use of uncaring, completely literal, and unbending rules along with how much of the horror is based on the uncanny makes it fundamentally a fey horror film to me

We saw you from across the bar and we liked your vibe

Annoyed at how many people I’ve seen talk about Sorcerer without mentioning The Wages of Fear

It’s such a representative fact about the movie Forrest Gump that he is named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, one of the most singularly evil men in American history, and this is treated as a quirky joke

Using focus groups to show the real opinions of “the people” will always be distorting because these are ten people all in the same room watching and listening to each other

Parry it ⚔️

It’s always such a shame when people insist that everyone else has the same relationship to art that they do, especially when they don’t even realize they are doing it

if you think about it, life is kinda a roguelike: permadeath, everyone’s run is different, some people get really fucking lucky and blow through with OP items, others get RNG screwed We could start calling them lifelikes instead

Hi everyone, I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in a commission? I’m out of work at the moment and recently got hit with a massive bill I can’t afford, I’m freaking out a little. OCs or fanart! Quick turnaround! Shoot me a DM!

This is legit how my dad was with me when I was little

Amelia is right. I do not have words. I didn't do a fundraiser when I was going through pancreatic cancer treatment and I certainly didn't want to have to do this one. But I am very fortunate to have friends who bully with love. And never forget the fact I need this at all is a systemic failure!

Do any of you know of a podcast in the vein of kill james bond that’s about video games? I want something new to have on in the background while I work

This is the first step down the road to the state attempting 40k-esque space marines. No more citizen soldiers, only the chemically and technologically constructed hyper-masculine weapon-body that belongs to the state

Thinking about how Osprey, a publishing house almost entirely devoted to publishing military uniform/equipment fetish material disguised as dry but picture heavy non-fiction tomes, put out a book dismantling the right wing mythologization of Sparta with an absolute all-timer table of contents.

You know what, I'm also going to boost this. I've used AoN for many years and I just subscribed to their patreon, they also have a donation link you can use.

The primary difference between Science Saru Major Kusanagi and SAC Major Kusanagi is that the former is a bottom and the latter is a top

shoutout the chucklefuck pundit who insisted once that “environmental racism” was a nonsense term

"terfism is fundamentally a pro-rape ideology" continues to be the most succinct and cutting analysis of that current

Imagine thinking “i’m gonna turn the poem ‘Rime of the Ancient Mariner’ into a nearly 10 minute metal song” and then doing it

Oh I would be completely out of my depth. I’m also not vegan and her whole org is about that, so a total culture mismatch

My observation of reflexive competitiveness in practice is that it precludes thinking about whether the competition is even something you want to participate in, and it demands you stay the course even if you have realized this competition is beneath you

'Resonance'

Realizing that spotlighting Neill's starring roles might be a less fitting tribute than fondly remembering all the times he was 5th billed

After today, I have one last shift at the Museum. I've been intereviewing for jobs, i have some fallbacks, but most of what I do have waiting for me won't actually provide me anything for a few weeks. I'm looking for whatever I can get as I keep getting hit with surprise moving expenses.

A pox on the phony king of England

Gurren Lagann is correct about its central conceit that the entirety of the power of the human spirit is ignited at the intersection of hope, belief, faith & trust. And that despair not only limits imagination but is also a spiritual death that leaves us helpless when facing humanity’s adversaries.

it's genuinely getting so close

I have been saying this for twenty years: To be good at an art-form you must also understand what exists beyond that art-form or you are doomed to do what has already been done but worse for better only happens when you bring yourself and what you see uniquely to the work.

Unreal they actually delisted/removed Kamiina Botan that's legitimately insane

Part of defeating AI is believing in the future. You have to believe that there is more to the story

Don't know when, but they finally took the region lock off of TMR's Hot Limit music video after several years. It is officially summer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBmU...

Sometimes you gotta show your wife something just to explain where your echolalia came from

Last but not least, credit for the art goes to @roseopossum.bsky.social

i want my wife!!!!!!!!

Dice give me the Strength to change the things I can,the Dexterity to dodge the things I can’t, the Constitution to survive what I can’t dodge, the Intelligence and Wisdom to know the difference, and the Charisma to make this joke land

a huge part of my childhood was stuff like this. just sort of puzzling over the Letterman Top 10 Book and trying to reverse engineer what the Iran Contra Scandal was from it

boxd.it/f9dHHp I just keep thinking about this movie since I watched it! Absolute masterwork.

One of my favorite bits is saying “you said it” when someone has just made a noise or vocalization that nevertheless expresses a mood

I mean this explains quite a lot about experiencing social media in the 2020's www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Realizing that a plot point in Hail, Caesar! is foreshadowed if you are very familiar with Spartacus (1960)

I loathe the cult of the car.

We all need to come together and gift Anthy Himemiya a gun

An enormous loss. The English translator for countless Asian cinema masterpieces, if you’ve seen a Wong Kar-wai movie with English subtitles you know his work. Will never forget he once drafted a few of us to subversively help rescue Bong Joon Ho’s Snowpiercer from Harvey Weinstein. Rest in peace 🙏.
