Post four TV couples you love

Heavy Metal Parking Lot (1986) - 0:09:35 Dir. Jeff Krulik, John Heyn Runtime 17 minutes 🚬 x 30, or one cigarette every 0.57 minutes ⚠️ REAL SMOKER MOVIE ⚠️ https://howmanycigarettes.com/heavy-metal-parking-lot/

"ACAB except for Iranian and other non-Western police" is I'm sure not a widely held position, but it sure is a stupid one

I am just now learning that the official Lego Masters Australia Instagram has announced that Lego Masters Australia is returning in 2026. It's not all bad news.

When your custom character is in the cut scene

Howard Beale's "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!" arguably comes close, but also Network is 50 years old

Finally tally of languages in last year's movies: 47! Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Russian, Japanese, German, Persian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Urdu, French, Italian, Polish, Malay, Tagalog, Romanian, Dutch, Azerbaijani, Swedish, Wolof, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Taiwanese Hokkien,

Okay, I put up a desktop background (Clementine & Kelly-Anne in RED ROOMS), downloaded OpenOffice, made a doc to keep track of the languages spoken in the movies I watch this year, and stuck on a Boonta Vista sticker!

"disproportionate physical strength" is probably the worst possible superpower to give a trans woman, jfc

Every day I think "tomorrow I will set up my new laptop!" and then every day I just don't feel up to it

"We're on fire!"

TV party tonight!!

*brightly, to Hamburger* Look, it's our friend Notch!

"like an inanimate object unwillingly granted sentience" is a decent description of my postdromes in general

Knocking wood but I think this may be the first day this week I don't have a migraine proper? Of course I feel like a wrung-out washcloth that is also aware of the state of the world, but it's progress

The newly released state data shows it’s the second consecutive year abortions in Kansas have exceeded annual numbers prior to 2022, when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. www.kmuw.org/2026-01-08/k...

TONIGHT!

A problem with watching the occasional movie in Dutch is that there'll be a serious scene happening and my English-speaking brain can't get over the word HOOFDINGANG on a building in the background (it just means "main entrance," a normal thing to be on a building)

Just a little "pro tip" from me: while a masterpiece of early avant garde film, Fernand Léger's BALLET MECANIQUE (1924) is a poor choice for migraine viewing: youtu.be/oMnZgykH1Bk?...

Of course they're coming for the Symposium

Sinking into a Migraine Week like a tar pit

PRIMITIVE WAR (2025) delivers on director Luke Sparke's "promise of the premise," and that premise: DINOSAURS

I love how when us bad movie podcast hosts talk about the other 2025 films we loved, it's things like animated shorts, REFLECTIONS IN A DEAD DIAMOND, and THE VOURDALAK. We're not doing this because we don't know what good movies are!

Seeing a lotof passionate Star Wars discourse on the timeline and, let me just say, unless they announce that they're greenlighting my pitch for a softcore porno anthology called Tales From Jabba's Pleasure Palace, I'm not interested.

Do you think they went to Movie World?

My little bunny girl

Saoirse Ronan: [nothing] Kate Winslet:

Anyway I have a couple more definite things I'm planning on this year, but the nebulous one I'm already showing success at is letting shit go: throwing out old food, deciding I'm not up to record a podcast now instead of stewing all afternoon & bowing out anyway

Ugh yowch weather

Super funny that Scott Adams is Pascal's wagering in 2026: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal%...

THIS AIN'T NO WALK IN THE PARK

Loved this one

anyway it was "bed eggley junior"

I am once again asking any non-US residents reading this, please write your elected officials and ask them to send your nation's deadliest assassins to Washington DC with the instructions to "dream big" and "just have fun with it". They will never be caught. Our law enforcement is in shambles.

I guess selfishly I hope it happens while we’re streaming because I think we would get a lot of really funny gift subs

You would think it'd actually be easy to empathize with people who want their leader ousted while knowing it will make things worse, but we don't believe people in other countries are capable of nuance

Pretty gross to read USians telling Venezuelans "you'll want Maduro back" in response to "I know this is very bad but part of me feels relieved," but also totally in line with our inability to ever see anything from anyone else's point of view when we can loudly and extravagantly blame ourselves

you can really tell the disconnect between the US / global north and latinamerica right now because a Venezuelan that has been terrorized for years can say "I know this is bad but still I wanted it" and you'll still get a gringo that learned about it 3 hours ago telling him to shut up

I watched movies for 22 entire days last year

We don't talk enough about how hot Jim Varney was

Some of you are probably thinking, "Well, if I'm into a gay relationship that Real Gay Men say is actually for straight women, I must be a straight woman, and feeling drawn to gay men in fiction means I'm a bad person"; I am here to say that's all horseshit!!

I feel bad for all the little transmascs and trans men currently figuring their shit out via Heated Rivalry, people said all the same pompous horseshit about Supernatural shippers, but in smaller/less prestigious publications

We've got screenings of one form or another coming every Thursday in the Discord this month! Be there!

I feel like he knew about me before I did

My only queer relative died yesterday; I hadn't seen him for 15 years en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_G...

Unbelievably auspicious tarot reading for the year! Pulling Strength to represent myself is pretty definite, I think

Bags 1-5 complete

New season of Stranger Things is looking good.

Took a VERY SMALL WALK OUTSIDE, like an absolute fuckin champion
