The best of the post-Covid wave of Frankenstein movies remains Laura Moss's Birth/Rebirth. Currently on Hulu!

I didn't enjoy a single performance in this movie. Buckley manages to be bad twice. Encouraging that a woman got studio cash to direct a Cats level debacle.

Oil prices are going parabolic. This is insane.

The essential, and much under appreciated, juxtaposition from today's news.

Adventure Comics no. 252 (Sep 1958) cover by Curt Swan with Stan Kaye. Superboy practicing super-meditation?

People have been jailed for encouraging others to self harm or kill themselves in online conversations. These types of incidents with people deluded by AI conversations have recurred dozens of times and that's just the ones reported on the last year. These products are a major threat to society.

The US military uses a billion dollar Autocorrect to choose which girls schools to blow up.

Lot of Thor 2011 energy in that Lanterns trailer.

So here's the thing: I think movies should be good. I notice that teevee people often feel differently: I notice that teevee people often say things like, "It gets good in the second season," as though it is normal or desirable to watch something bad for seven hours before it "gets good"

Every time I want to give up I put my clothes in the trash like Spider-Man.

Returned home to the very, very sad news of our SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING creative team partner Tatjana Wood has left us, just a few days shy of what would have been a full century of life—she was incredible, full stop. R.I.P. Tatjana.

Ship Fettermans ogre ass to the front lines if he's so dead set on war.

Holy shit. These people shouldn’t be near sharp cutlery, let alone seats of power. Mullin: “This is war.” Raju: “You concede this is war?” Mullin: “We haven’t declared war.” Reporter: “You just said it’s a war.” Mullin: *stammer

☢️#168. Rollerball, 1975. Not only is the ultimate dystopian bloodsport movie actually an anti-sports satire, it‘s also an underrated masterpiece. Brilliantly directed by #NormanJewison, with a grippingly understated performance by #JamesCaan. So good it hurts. #classic 5/5 ☢️

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

In 2004, a channel called The N re-aired My So-Called Life, treating it like a new show, airing episodes week to week. The show was then only 10 years old but as a kid it felt like a portal to a completely different world. Would a 13 year old now feel that way about a show from 2016?

If they had DEI they’d know it was Targét not Tarzhay

Rubio's new line is that we had to attack Iran because Israel planned to attack them and Iran would strike us in retaliation. Even in that harebrained bullshit excuse for murdering schoolchildren, sure sounds like the threat to the US is the rogue state of Israel.

Art by Bernie Wrightson published on the cover of THE BUYER’S GUIDE TO COMIC FANDOM #47 (November 1, 1973).

From the mass starvation and disease he has intentionally spread and now to to this unprovoked attack that he is helping to coordinate, Marco Rubio is an inhuman butcher and the world must stop and prosecute him before the death toll of his stupid wasted life grows any larger.

Ongoing “lol” at every entity that cuts a lopsided deal with this guy rather than telling him to fuck off

Happy to see Michael B Jordan win at the SAG awards. As well received as Sinners was, even among the films most enthusiastic fans, it kind of seemed like Jordances performance(s) were being taken for granted in various discussions.

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.

The entire Iranian military has made less of a threat to freedom in the United States than any single Republican school board member.

Members of Congress from both parties have terrible grammar on social media. Like obviously there are bigger problems, but with so much discourse driven by screenshots of tweets, they are embarrassing even when you agree.

Beautiful! Another MAGA dipshit burned by Generalisimo Piggy. Tkachuk is half Canadian and plays in Ottawa, and Piggy's henchmen used AI to doctor a video of the locker room celebration and have him insult Canada. Going to make for a fun homecoming in Ottawa. Now you know, dumbass.

Adventure Time was initially pitched to Nickelodeon who turned it down but became as massive hit when picked up at Cartoon Network. Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network will now be owned by the same company. With fewer places to shop projects to, fewer decision makers will take fewer chances.

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

“We did not arrive here by accident. We arrived here by acquiescence. Each transgression that went unanswered taught this president one lesson: that there are no consequences.”

Even if blowing up a school somehow brought about democracy, it just seems like that the people would be obligated to elect whoever promises to kill those who killed their children.

they blew up a bunch of girls and called it "Operation Epic Fury." I can't say in public what I think should be done about this

today was the day john mccain finally became president

Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Colin Powell watching the United States strike Iran:

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

With Trump, there's always a tweet.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Every man I knew who was under 30 during the 2024 election was being algorithmically blasted with messaging that Harris would start a war and that their lives would be at risk.

We live in hell but do our best

This Day in #History 1907 Psychiatrists Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud meet for the first time in Vienna.

Opening AO3

call me crazy but i think we have the right to know what the pentagon wants to do AI that's so heinous AI companies are saying no to money

RIP

Very sad to hear. The way she colored those proto-Vertigo Swamp Thing stories so beautifully is permanently etched in my brain. I’ve often said that the final page of Saga of the Swamp Thing 24 is my all-time favorite page of comic art, and her colors have a lot to do with that.
