Just want to shoutout @tbskyen.com, it’s an honor to have our pilot absolutely dissected by every frame. Thank you, everyone worked so hard, you even shout out often overlooked departments! It’s so motivating seeing someone dig into it this much. 🙏🏻 Makes every second worth it.

Eureka's Blu-rays normally have good subtitle quality control. But today I watched their edition of The Bride With White Hair, and I think it's the first time I've ever seen a translator/editor's note accidentally make it into the subtitle track!

Just saw an article where a 20yo was quoted as saying “feminism has really hurt the nuclear family” and I want them to yell at them that FEMINISM PREDATES THE NUCLEAR FAMILY. THE NUCLEAR FAMILY WAS INVENTED IN THE 1950S TO SELL YOU HOUSES AND CARS.

This isn't how birding is supposed to work!

Interviewer: Do you follow Marvel when you're not working for them? Me: I keep up with certain key properties. The Key Property:

SCOOP: Perfect Dark was almost revived. The game's developers were close to a deal with Take-Two to fund and publish the game following its cancellation by Xbox in July, sources say, but negotiations fell through, leading to layoffs at Crystal Dynamics last week. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Good Superman stories are almost never about who wins the fights. They're about how to solve the problems. Superman can do massive, mighty things. The story is about his figuring out what massive, mighty things he should do. About understanding, not about overpowering.

Someone in the writers' room asked "what if Jim Hacker was David Brent?" and invented Keir Starmer.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

You couldn't make The Life of Brian today because movies usually take several weeks to make. One day isn't nearly enough.

JRR Tolkien: exciting news everyone! there's a new lord of the rings movie! Tolkien: finally, it's going to answer that big question on everyone's minds Tolkien: what was gollum doing? King: Poe: Barker: Lovecraft: Koontz: Tolkien: everyone's always asking me, what was gollum doing?

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci! ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Whenever I'm browsing DVDs/BRs in charity shops, I check my Letterboxd collection list to make sure I don't get duplicates. But today this habit failed: I accidentally acquired a second DVD copy of Face/Off. 😢 However, the cases are NOT QUITE IDENTICAL. So I *could* swap the discs around...

So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?

My Cousin Vinny: Ace Attorney Had to finally release this from my head

I watched the "Bullet Time" pilot on YouTube. To quote its most prominent predecessor, Ren & Stimpy: No, sir, I don't like it.

What's funny is you can tell exactly why it output this string. When it stole literally all of Stack Overflow, it stole tons and tons of people's explanations of how to make a program that produces random character strings. One of the easiest ways to do so, contains *this* ASCII string.
