FFS LET TRANS PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES IN PEACE

I do love the Lament Configuration version of Gigan.

It's always the people who notice their crimes who pay the price, never the criminals themselves.

A few years ago, Arrow Video put out an *excellent* UHD of Cinema Paradiso. Some people bought it, watched it, praised it, and then complained that Criterion didn't license it instead. That very small but vocal group of Criterion fans are *the* worst.

1.) Awesome. I know Criterion cultists fans have some ridiculous view of what should/shouldn't join the collection, but that perspective was always bad for film preservation. Happy to see these two join. 2.) Once again, I beg someone dig into Netflix's genre films. I *need* The Harder They Fall.

"They did remove Akinola Davies Jr’s shout of “Free Palestine!” and Alan Cumming’s comparison of “Lies, corrupt leaders, poisoning and persecution of a race” themes to America, it seems a perverse decision not to remove an appalling racial insult." www.theguardian.com/film/2026/fe...

Weaving is the best. Cannot wait for Ready or Not: Here I Come.

3 million pages of evidence of a massive child sex trafficking ring in the US and this is how the FBI director is spending his time.

Played the Darwin's Paradox demo. Very strong. The demo is a tad unforgiving, so I'm expecting some decent difficulty curves in the final product. I don't *love* how slow Darwin moves, but that's really the only negative I've got from the 45-ish minute demo. At $25, Konami could have a real gem.

i just want to hang out on the internet and talk about my hyperfixations but nooooooooooo powerful people decided being evil was the best way they could spend their time

My attitude whenever people talk about current kids not having as much fun as they did when they were kids "with nothing but a stick and my imagination."

Yeah fun is fun but acting like life was better in the 1990s is wild, quinoa was some exotic health nut stuff in the 90s

Wright/Powell ruining my hot streak.

the video game industry is a mess

Mumen Rider / Finn the Human

Fuck Grok

No fucking way, man...

Hell. Yes.

The only metric I use now to tell if an FCC is doing work that I actually value is how many spam calls I get every day and they have doubled, at least, in the year since Carr claimed he was "cracking down."

Update: Watched this week's batch of episodes and pretty much all of these guys are the fucking worst. The. Worst. Fuck Steven Fuck Devonta Fuck Mike Fuck Chris Fuuuuuuuck Alex Seriously, regarding Alex, at what point can producers/psychiatrists step in and say that he's showing abusive behavior?

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Not Noonan too... Probably (definitely) not the *best* movie he's in, but I do enjoy Knockaround Guys, and he's great in that. I also, very frequently, got him mixed up with the musician Devin Townsend, and for that, I'm sorry. Rest in Peace

Fun little haul, this week. *So* happy Lionsgate had some extra copies of Fall laying around. I intentionally skipped the steelbook when it released, not knowing it was more limited and the only way to get the movie on UHD.

Oh hellllll yeah. Love me some Berenger. I wonder if Vestron moving to 4K will mean covering some previous releases with upgrades. Would *love* to see All of Me, Wishmaster, Blue Steel, and My Best Friend is a Vampire get a UHD.

I've now cried (sobbed) at two of the last three episodes of Bob's Burgers I've watched. S13, Ep22: "Amelia" S14, Ep02: "The Amazing Rudy" This is supposed to be my comfort show... Still, perfect television and continues to be incredibly strong, hundreds of episodes in.

I swear these monsters have made pacts with Satan to not die.

Yes to the choice. Yes to the three options chosen. Big Yes. Big co-sign.

Virtually nothing you could tell me would make me excited for another gaming console, right now. Gameplay/visuals aren't evolving at the rate that they were between game gens. AAA games aren't hitting nearly as hard as indies right now. There's just no point, especially with a likely $1K price.

At this point, who ISN'T in the files? Also, he's 75! He should have stepped down a decade ago! How is that justice? "Here's your gold watch--shame about all the girls."

Awwww man. Yes, The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, Today Kill a Mockingbird... For some reason, I always think of Secondhand Lions. He and Michael Caine have such good chemistry there. Also Days of Thunder, because it's a Tony Scott movie shot in my hometown. And the Gone in 60 Seconds remake. RIP

1.) Agreed 2.) How does Disney expect their IP, that they've *willingly* licensed to OpenAI, to be different than this? If OpenAI uses Disney IP in it's theft, and then SeedDance steals from the OpenAI product, what then? How many degrees of separation are they "okay" with?

Corporate greed is ruining everything

Reading: Berserk (Finished "The Wind of Swords," which is apparently the last volume before shit kicks into high gear) Watching: Caught up on Love is Blind The Running Man (2025) Started Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind Regarding Golden Wind; having Jodeci's "Freak'N You" as the outro is 👌

“She’s not from here.”

Beyond the Lights Not just underseen, but I'd argue is Gina Prince-Bythewood's best directorial effort.

medical miracle: this 75 year old man was born yesterday

I am very grateful to the people who subscribe to my work. Yes, I would always like to get more of you onboard, but I'm aware of just how much every single individual one of you matter, and I appreciate it enormously.

I've said it plenty of times, but it's increasingly obvious with each season that Love is Blind's casting aims for guys' guys, which often ends up with lots of toxic masculinity or men who give off abusive/dangerously insecure/narcissistic vibes. Steven and Alex from this season *suuuuuck* so much.

Seems to be going around that the dumbass kid is a YouTube prankster who tried to provoke a protester, succeeded, got decked, complained on X for engagement, and got ratioed... These idiots love to humiliate themselves.

Maaaan. Diego Calva's Criterion Closet just dropped, and that man has got so much goddamn charisma and sex appeal. Also, incredible selections

It’s very telling who is allowed to make their own version of a beloved novel and hack at its plot and themes and add their own obsessions to their film version and who is not. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Frustrated that the SC snow storms have kept me from seeing Sam Raimi's Send Help for three weeks, and now that it's 70⁰ again, the only theater within a two hour drive of me is no longer showing it. Fully intended on doing a Send Help/Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die double this weekend.

Me with every Survival Horror game.

Real Genius, and it isn't particularly close, for me. He has no shortage of great performances, but *wow* does he shine in that.

Love, love, love Ponyo. Happy that it has this exhibit.

A) Stop god damn fanning over politicians. Any of them. Ever. They're not your friend, they work for you. Make them work. Push them to do better. Don't play fan. But for fuck's sake: B) Momala? FUCKALA YOUALA.
