Merry Christmas, from this inexplicable tiny book mixed in with my family’s Christmas books to yours.

Me at Christmas.

Posting this one a week early to try to move things along.

For days my mother has threatened to force us to watch the latest film by a director who once directed one of my favorite films but has now tossed out three movies in a row I have pure hatred for. The director is Rian Johnson and the movie is Wake Up Dead Man. How did this picture get attached?

Thought you guys just ate donuts.

One of the gifts I am giving this year was described as “Squishy Grinch.” Every time I see it I think, “Who up squishing they Grinch?”

From a 1995 calendar that was in an archive of files for one of the PC-98 Record of Lodoss War games: an adorable illustration of chibi mischief and adventure.

Eat your heart out, Criterion! @severinfilms.bsky.social has the great Joe Dante in their closet talking up a lot of sweet Euro horror and other oddball pictures! youtu.be/iAfr0_1XV5Y

Amerika is fundamentally rotten, returning the land and establishing new treaties, enacting reparations under a new form of government, there is no need to "redeem" the old slave republic except to continue the old modes of oppression for the sake of egos and profits like Bababouie's here

I haven’t heard anything about this movie and it sounds like that might be part of the point!

Only one acceptable host for a YouTube awards show and he’s unavailable. :(

JWZ: “You probably didn’t know the dinosaur had legs!” This is true; I did not.

Fun tip to avoid this situation: order from online retailers in November that, weeks later, still haven’t shipped your gifts.

Rob Reiner RIP

I think Homer gets stupider every year.

Want what they have so bad.

Phil!? PHIL CONNORS!!

This year’s song? Pure Prairie League — Aimee

I don’t use this app but I noticed some supportive messages popping up and I really appreciate that 🥹💞

Movie Title: “Ape Force” ME: “Apes are cool; maybe I’ll watch it.” Movie Title: “A.P.E. Force” ME: “I *have* to watch this; I *have* to find out what A.P.E. stands for.“

FYI this game, Gas Station Story, is doing a pre-order for a physical edition if you want to work a retail dead-end job—in space! www.homebrew-factory.com/game-boy/174...

People say Cancel Culture is real and then you see Lydia Tár being invited to meet the Pope. 🙄

As a tween I had a poster of Samus on my wall. I wanted to be her when I grew up! Now they added a guy to Metroid who looks and sounds exact like me and is just as annoying and I am spiraling.

The artwork of #Dune by Greg Winters that was meant for the #SegaCD version but went unused to some extent since the characters behind Paul were actually in the North American cover. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

James Urbaniak’s Vine account was a work of genius.

Useless story time about my username: years ago my ex-girlfriend saw a painting from a local artist that had Betty Boop in it and she got mad: “Betty Boop is *not* art! Why does this town love Betty Boop?” I didn’t have an answer.

who up thinking about ghost lion for the nintendo entertainment system? my grandma really liked this game and the cover is burned in my brain

Just watched Predator: Badlands. Pretty good but they should have recreated the original film’s ending credits just with that guy who played the synth trooper over and over.

Snapped from Famitsu July 4th 1986's issue, which features as an amazingly stylized Mario on the cover.

This was an excellent interview with a Criterion lifer. A lot of enthusiasm for filmmaking comes through!

My politics in one image.

Mamdani already failing his campaign promises.

Election day!

Hate doing this again!
