I'm working out a theory that Nic Cage actually has the most average career of any actor, and it's tied to my deeply held belief that the concept of The Movie Star is entirely fabricated by studio marketing. No one is so good at acting that they deserve the prestige of any single "great actor"

Nic Cage movies I still have to see: Leaving Las Vegas Moonstruck Adaptation Gone in 60 Seconds The Sorcerer's Apprentice Ghost Rider 1 Ghost Rider 2 Unbearable Weight... Lord of War 8MM Vampire's Kiss And many more...

The Rock!!!

Omg, of course, Con Air. Fantastic movie

Bringing Out the Dead, Wild at Heart, Mandy, Face/Off, Snake Eyes; and I haven't even seen some of the wilder, or more celebrated roles.

The thing about Rian Johnson films is that they have never been subtle. There's literally nothing deeper about them than the opening salvo. He's just pretty good about hammering home that slavo so you can't really miss the point. But he also makes the obvious point ridiculous.

All joking aside, I just spent the last month or so relistening to all of @bcbparty.bsky.social and confirming that Patty Hurts is one of the greatest actual play characters ever. Listen to this show and have fun with me.

Gon and Killua?

I will always be on the record that Geoff Ross and @mattapodaca.bsky.social are absolute masterclasses on Make Some Noise, truly some of the best episodes @dropout.tv

Burnt Cook Book Party, my highly-rated Pathfinder actual-play show, just rounded 4 years and 100 episodes! If you've never listened, you should try out KILL SANTA, the 7-part holiday mini campaign we released last year. Then when you're hooked, try the main show! shows.acast.com/61ad89a845d1...

Nothing will prepare you for Chase, the totally normal guy from all those Hallmark Christmas movies.

Look, I realize the need for game critics to keep a professional distance and how that has to ride a line when you talk about censorship of a specific title, but holy shit y'all can back off a bit on the Horses negativity. No one thinks you're a better critic for saying "it's bad art actually."

Am I totally misremembering the last two RE games or have we all decided there's not a very plot important baby that was never resolved?

We're bringing Leon back into the RE mix but we're also still pretending Grace isn't the kid that Village made a major plot point?

So much money in video games and so little of it actually going to developers.

I feel like I've far too often been one of the more forgiving players for this sort of game, but "goofy meta game that mostly just references memes and other games" really played itself out like a decade ago. There's literally nothing interesting about that badger game.

Evening viewing recommendation? Watch NEW ROSE HOTEL (1998) in our Hotels on Film Collection! 🏩 Abel Ferrara’s slick, sexy adaptation of a story by cyberpunk godfather William Gibson journeys deep into the world of corporate espionage.

In lieu of the Game Awards, I'm going to the movies to see Wake Up Dead Man a second time because my mom really wants to see it on the big screen instead of Netflix. Totally worth the hours going to get Chinese food with my parents and then seeing a pretty good movie again.

🚨 A behind the scenes look at Aparna Nancherla's hour-long stand-up special 'Hopeful Potato' is out now on Dropout! Learn about Aparna's contradictory relationship with performing and the catharsis of comedy in Dropout's new behind the curtain series Get Your Act Together.

This fully formed in my brain after the VIP season premiere when @vicmmic.bsky.social said "we air at 3:30am after Game Changer."

At this point @dropout.tv has enough produced episodes to (I believe) run a Shudder-style Live Channel where they create a broadcast block to stream regularly that you can just tune into. "Air" an ep of VIP, next is a Hardly Working sketch, into a Game Changer, BNN, an ep of Total Forgiveness, etc.

Murder! Being a teenager in the 1970s! A haunted amusement park! An attractive older woman who is a crack shot with a rifle! And a VERY special edition of Uncle Stevie's Mixtape, as this month JUST KING THINGS tackles the breezy, readable fun of 2013's JOYLAND: rangedtouch.com/2025/12/08/j...

Tom Lehrer still funny.

I went to college for a teaching degree and then realized very quickly I have no idea how to explain anything to other people, despite having a deep internal logic for how I move through the world.

I also understand the brain-broken code of picross and no, I will never actually be able to explain how picross works to another human being.

It’s so crazy that after a couple hundred Picross puzzles you can kinda start eyeballing from just the numbers like you’re looking at the Matrix code

Btw these games need to stop asking me if I want a clue. I never want a clue. I will solve it myself. I am as intelligent as I am beautiful, which is to say probably like 60th percentile

I love being an Internet Guy because I get to follow @esper.bsky.social and @alexjaffe.bsky.social for absolute gold posting.

People should post this dog instead of that Norman Rockwell guy

We're drawing characters based on objects that look like they have faces on today's Drawfee! youtu.be/yUcp8eGJ2R8

An artistic depiction of it actually happening still wouldn't warrant delisting the art, but the fact that you had to emphasize "implies" twice means it's not actually explicitly depicting the acts and boy, have you heard of the horror genre using off-screen violence before?

I'm gonna become a huge proponent of watching literally everything one more time. I appreciate so many art pieces after I look at them a second time.

“write only what you know” is bullshit because a man wrote silent hill f and this shit rocks!!!! its feminist core resonates SO strongly if you’re a woman!!!!

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!

In all honesty, it also really fucking helps that it's not Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, because that naming convention turns my stomach so anxiously I feel cringe just watching the damn thing (yes, I'm still really low on Glass Onion, can you tell?)

I'm gonna be brutally honest with myself, both Knives Out/Glass Onion had a round of overbearing discourse around them that made watching them feel like I was "doing my due diligence" both supporting and being critical of them, whereas I basically had one trailer for WUDM and went in just to watch.

I came out of Wake Up Dead Man higher on the overall film than I did with either Knives Out, or Glass Onion. I've only ever watched these movies once and it feels like I'm due a full sit down with all three once WUDM gets on Netflix.

Now ask Tarantino to actually name the author of Battle Royale.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Drawfee! Today we are thankful for cats! youtu.be/7HhlbcOYNnY?...

32 years ago, Enix's historical-fiction action RPG #IllusionOfGaia was originally launched in Japan on the SNES! Players venture into the unknown and solve ancient mysteries in a fantasy version of Earth. Check out our review below! Review: www.rpgfan.com/review/illus...

My aunt and uncle ditched cable and just have a Roku TV now, but they don't have Peacock which means our only option to watch the parade is a live feed of raw footage from a local Fox affiliate.

DOORDASH: imagine a $12 sandwich ME: oh dang that sounds so good DOORDASH: now imagine that it could be yours for just $37

I swear to God I straight up PURCHASED Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 at some point but don't know under which digital shit show platform.

"hey, you haven't done this job in this state across the country for ten years now, do you need to keep seeing the name of that work contact you used to talk to weekly and now has no reason to be here?"

I just went thru my contacts and deleted basically any name i didn't recognize and also anyone who I haven't spoken to in a decade and now my phone is lighter. I genuinely feel like it was really weighing on me seeing a bunch of names of people that I just don't talk to, for totally basic reasons.

Today in 1988 Mystery Science Theater 3000 premiered on KTMA in St. Paul Minnesota. #MST3K

I've said it before and I'll say it again: a Dem administration would never abolish ICE, especially if they can say it was "just bad recruiting " yes, it's horrific what's happening now, but also Dems are fine doing the same thing as long as it's acceptable so it doesn't get social media coverage.

Charlie Brown fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed.
