Predator: Badlands (2025): This one is way more of an action/adventure flick than any of the previous installments, and making the Predator the hero is certainly a departure, but if you can't try something new in the ninth installment, when can you?

[puts face through wall]

Jurassic World Rebirth (2025): The plot and dialogue are as dumb as any of the sequels have ever been, but it's more than made up for with the best dino-action set-pieces since the Spielberg days. Still not a patch on the perfect original, but a worthy couple of hours of dinosaur fun.

Frankenstein (2025): Quite possibly the definitive* adaptation of one of the best books ever written. Gorgeous visuals, superb performances, more haunting than "scary", which is just as true of the novel. One of GDT's finest, and that's saying something.

when will a frankenstein movie be brave enough to let us see the doctor choosing the dick

I feel the urge to clarify: this is about the Captain America/Black Panther game. I couldn't care less about GTA.

Excellent points made here, folks

Laurence Fox wrote a song about Charlie Kirk, and this is the only comment on it.

For my scary Halloween costume this year I’m going to dress up as a person who phones someone to respond to a text message.

Me: "So I don't know whether he *is* a stoner or he *targets* stoners or maybe both? But either way I definitely want to call it 'Weed Killer' and I mean this thing practically markets itsel-" New Line Executive: "Please stop coming to our offices, sir."

Anyone that follows me on here also a Legacy of Kain fan? I just finished the new prequel graphic novel, really enjoyed it, jumped into some of the fan forums for a chat about it and... ooft, meltdowns everywhere. It's as bad as Star Wars fan spaces whenever there's a new Star War.

Not only is there no way Sean would have said this, but GaryGlinner is clearly only saying it because she (I think it's easy to figure out who he means) will 100% have told him to shut the fuck up at some point when he was being a prick, which in his mind ofc is "taking offence at every other joke"

Honestly that line has helped me with my depression almost as much as counselling and meds have. It's a mantra I've very much seized hold of for dear life.

For as stupid as it is to say that a goddamn superhero movie imparted some wisdom, the line in the first Avengers movie -- "Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on" -- is something a lot of people should be internalizing at the moment.
