And do they have good descriptive cards in modern films portraying silents? They do not. The silent era exceled.

I found the book enlightening -depressing a bit as the ‘space bastards’ reveal that all of the reasons given for space exploration are just not reasonable, but felt more like a call to action to spend or resources more rationally. Especially in light of SpaceX’s IPO.

What do Moomins feel like? @eleanormorton.bsky.social and I read Comet in Moominland and asked the BIG questions. linktr.ee/readthat

At Historicon in Lancaster we played a giant multiplayer game of Trilaterum!

Ultraman (1966) Episode 34

Ultraman (1966) Episode 2

I hear y'all like birds, so here's a bird. It's an African spotted eagle owl. Which is kind of two birds if you think about it. Even though it's one bird. And not an eagle at all, and totally just an owl. Shut up. (I got to do some falconry in Ireland and it is a delight. This bird was the best.)

Birbs are good

ME: It's a Superman movie where he comes to earth during prehistoric times PRODUCER: Keep talking ME: called Jurassic Clark HIM: Get out

The reason tributes keep coming in from everyone for Sam Neill is because he wasn’t just a great actor with a body of work that speaks to most of us, but also because he was such a very good, decent man. If we had more of them, the loss wouldn’t feel so great. But thank the universe we had him 💜

I think Kareem hit on something I’ve intuitively felt but not directly considered before: a resistance to learning complex games from small boxes. Check out @gameminimalist.bsky.social‘s post below and then tell me if you relate to my ramblings:

Sean Barry at @kaijuunited.bsky.social covers an underappreciated Kaiju classic, Daimajin. All three films in the series are good, but the first is just stellar. This is review hits the nail solidly on the head and is a good read. kaijuunited.com/2024/07/07/r...

Here's your Saturday FLASH GORDON ⚡️

This guy gets it

I would argue fighting against both sides in a ship full of orphans armed with nuclear powered death machines would be more satisfying.

The chilling anti-smoking PSA that Yul Brynner (BOTD) instructed be released after his death from lung cancer at 65. I've never forgotten the first time I saw this: youtu.be/JNjunlWUJJI?...

You survived the experience!

Crappy shark movie #190 was WATER PARK SHARK, which we ranked at #122 (below Bikini Shark & Ouija Shark 2). It’s the 1st movie where we are convinced the stinker of a script was written by ChatGPT! Acting was fun, CGI sharks were fun, budget was decent, but the script was bad.

My wife says I remind her of James Bond. I’m not good at following orders, I’m emotionally dead, and she’d like to see the role go to Idris Elba.

Congrats all around - Devir has not just brought on someone with lots of experience, but a wonderful human being too. Very happy to see this news.

Here's your Friday FLASH GORDON ⚔️

@elizhargrave.bsky.social On the off-chance you haven't had someone else mention it to you, was just listening to the latest episode of @99pi.org with @romanmars.bsky.social and he has a pretty amusing anecdote about Wingspan about 12 minutes in you might enjoy 99percentinvisible.org/episode/673-...

Your Thursday FLASH GORDON ⚔️

There are shows I've held as favourites that have since fallen wayside — mostly by me growing up — but the Middleman and Wonderfalls I still cling to and hope for an alternative universe in which they have multiple seasons.

When you're growing two gardens at once, the power of the sun won't be enough - you're going to need to harness the light of the moon too! In Evenglow you'll all be shaping your mystical gardens during simultaneous turns, so join me here and let's learn how to play: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjLN...

In the future everyone will be mistaken for a criminal for fifteen minutes

This. This. All of this. I have friends in the film industry reposting this article like a four alarm fire. This is the AI company announcing a stunt they themselves are facilitating (if it ever happens at all) not anyone outside of the AI company expressing any interest at all.

Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine was 95 when he died of renal failure OTD in 2012. I loved that he was the very definition of a "working actor," taking roles that were sometimes unworthy of his talents, just because he clearly enjoyed what he did. A genuine original.

Nancy 7/7/26 “Summer Camp” Part 6

Looking about for all those ‘Minions failed to perform at Box-Office’ articles similar to all the Supergirl think pieces. Sure they’re coming any time now. Gonna be all ‘7th movie in the franchise’ and World Cup and holidays and the temperature! Annnny minute now.

If a Croque Madame talked to another Croque Madame about anything other than a Croque Monsieur Would they have passed the Béchamel test?

Your cameo-filled Tuesday FLASH GORDON ⚡

This fucking guy

Remembering the delightful Sebastian Cabot, born OTD in 1918. He graced the big screen with roles in KISMET & THE TIME MACHINE, but TV was his true home: CHECKMATE, GHOST STORY, and to 60s kids he'll always be Mr. French of FAMILY AFFAIR & Winnie the Pooh's narrator. He died of a stroke at only 59.

😍...🥰🥰🥰 Perfect, in every way. #Birds

Captain America never misses

Fuck yeah

New comic! We've really grown into adulthood over the years, for real!😅 Has your taste in games changed over the years, or has it just expanded? 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: semicoop.com/comic/evolution-of-our-game-collection/ @cmyk.games #boardgames

There's a part in the book "Careless People" where the author beats Zuck at Settlers of Catan, and he is absolutely wrecked by it. Someone pulls her aside to explain everyone else has been letting him win for years. I think about this a lot re: why tech bros think everyone will love AI chatbots.

I hate how streaming services from major studios will have a movie from them that's "leaving soon." Like, brother IT'S YOUR MOVIE.
