I really like the idea of scrappy Odysseus, the best tactician in the Achaean army and someone who the soldiers are willing to follow, being shown bowing to King Agamemnon, who is a huge dude and amazing fighter but not actually that great at leading the army. Wearing Batman gear is just a bonus

@meakoopa.bsky.social Ice Pirates! Robert Urich! Angelica Huston! Ron Perlman! Bruce Villance! Bing Crosby's daughter! A Carradine! Space Herpes! youtu.be/H5gHZWxxVhk?...

It turns out James Cameron wrote POINT BREAK and, by extension, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS.

Need a wheelchair all the time? Some of the time? Just today? Then great. I think people need to get used to seeing an increasing aging population being cared for/catered to in public.

Prince Edward Island has far more autonomy than the City of Toronto

"The potential to have things seized will send a message that you can't ride on the sidewalk," Burnside said.

Yeah, every year those bigots will be there with bells on.

Team Affleck here. Little rich shit pushing adults into the pool!

I saw this at the Bloor in 1998. Chiu Man Cheuk was there doing an impromptu martial arts demo on stage. Can't wait to see this in 4K

TIL the original lyrics to Deck the Halls are awesome and “don we now our gay apparel” is temperance movement bullshit

Which film would have been a blast to see in 4DX if it existed at the time? I'll go first

If we had a proper social safety net , which is what the left should truly be fighting for, then it would matter if racists were fired for being trash. It wouldn't mean homelessness, lack of healthcare, and starvation

Americans: take their shoes off on planes but wear them constantly in their own homes Such an uncivilized people

i stand by this statement every year

Of course, followed up by the almost as great scene with the Flash in Luthor's body: Just gold all the way around.

This scene from the episode where Lex Luthor body swaps with the Flash is still, unironically, one of the greatest moments of DC universe.

Oof a doof. Yet again, an actor's portrayal in Extras turns out to be true. Liam Neeson is an idiot

Normalization of poor service is what's plaguing the TTC too No one has the political will to fight for better service times on existing streetcar lines. It's not until we open a brand new line that is slower than jogging on opening day that suddenly politicians start talking about signal priority

The Alamo Drafthouse model is the biggest success in cinema this century but no one wants to follow it because fixing projectors and hiring staff to actually enforce no texting rules would cost money. Not alot, but enough to affect someone's quarterly earnings call

Glad to see Brett The Hitman Hart being honoured in 2000

Feds: qualified workers please move to Canada Provincial standards bodies: just don't expect us to accept your accreditations

I know up is down and the current admin and the media who support them have zero scruples, but can you imagine how Fox would react if this happened 4 years ago and a bidder in a multi-billion dollar deal said "hey we've got Hunter Biden involved so we'll breeze through the regulatory approvals"

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Early Mega Man is so cursed.

There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.

“Frog,” asked Toad, “did this really happen?” “Maybe it did, and maybe it didn’t,” said Frog.

914,000 arts and culture workers in Canada nodding in agreement.

Taiwan made a STREETS OF FIRE rip-off!? By the director of Jackie Chan's FANTASY MISSION FORCE!

A move that takes place where you're from (I moved around a lot)

My friend just fuckin showed up with a corncob pipe & that’s when it hit me that we are all in our 40s which means we get one new accessory slot

I'll never be able to watch John Carpenter's Vampires the same way again

Do people in the UK have corn mazes? Are they called maize mazes?

Jason and the Argonauts (1963). Stop motion effects by Ray Harryhausen. Brilliant creepy score by Bernard Herrmann

the truly irritating thing about this is that Google has packaged AI scraping with features that are genuinely useful and good (like "automatically placing appointments/flights/reservations for which you have gotten Gmail notifications into Google Calendar")

The Wing Commander movie tried to do this. Complete with Jurgen Prochnow and a scene where they shut down power and tensely wait as "depth charges" explode all around their space ship It was not a good movie

Earlier today I watched an American commentator (anti-ZM) on France24 seem to lose touch with reality when other panellists rightly said Mamdani’s positions are not radical but indeed only centre-left here in Europe.

No Joe Dante? Then it's not really a Gremlins movie is it?

1. Despite Pierre Poilievre’s partisan rhetoric, Conservative MPs feel ideologically at home in Mark Carney’s Liberal Party 2. Despite the Liberal Party’s partisan rhetoric, Conservative MPs feel ideologically at home in Mark Carney’s Liberal Party

Two blocks from each other on the same street (Palmerston). Remember: what is at stake here is if Emily Rose goes under and is converted to residential, going back is nigh impossible—a community amenity lost for good.

We're going to look back so fondly on this Jays team. But right now I'm just so frustrated. They had this.

Baaaarerfffff

Sometimes the anxiety beats out the thrill and you just stop watching the game and go to bed

Spoiler free thoughts on del Toro's Frankenstein: Every shot is gorgeous and there are some shots that feel like they came from a stylized anime with his use and framing of moving fabric The pacing and act structure is operatic. It has a sedate middle act and tightly focused interpersonal finale

If the Rogers Centre had a parking lot that covered the same surface area as the Dodgers' parking lot, it would stretch from Queen Street on one end to the Lake Ontario waterfront on the other

The 2025 World Series matchup out of context…

The Jays' after game party looks like Bear Night. So many thick dudes with beards and no shirts dancing with each other.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT GUYS GUYS THIS IS IS SEISMIC GUYS I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU OPUS DEI IS THE SCIENTOLOGY OF CATHOLICISM THEY ARE THE ONLY THING "THE DA VINCI CODE" GOT RIGHT THEY ARE AWFUL AND THEY ARE EVIL AND THEY HAVE ENORMOUS POWER AND THEY ARE INTEGRAL TO TRADFASH CATHOLICISM
