So it's official. A legendary VFX wizard has passed away. 😞 Thunderbirds, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Space: 1999, The Empire Strikes Back, Alien, Aliens, Space Truckers, Moon Zero Two, Dragonslayer, DragonHeart, The Neverending Story... Brian Johnson has brought many sci-fi & fantasy dreams to life.

I do appreciate that Spielberg tends to be less interested in "aliens" as much as "what does how we react to aliens say about humans"

Warren Beatty's marvelous 'Dick Tracy' was released on this day in 1990. I wrote a valentine to it for The Playlist:

The actual reason you couldn't make the Office today is that season 1 is really bad and got poor ratings yet they gave it a chance to evolve and find its audience, and shows nowadays aren't given that chance.

Palace Software had close links to the UK's mid-80s 'video nasties' moral panic. So close that police raided their office. Then Palace made their own video game nasty, propelled to #1 by controversy as well as the game's strengths. New post on Barbarian: www.superchartisland.com/barbarian

Before first episode of Lestat: I'm not sure how well I'll like this, Lestat is the least interesting character After first episode of Lestat: I would read Lestat fanfic

It is odd to think how crazy everyone was for Mr. Bean for a while there, it was a strange thing

Rogan looking good

I don't like how so much technology is constantly asking if you need help with things, like I'm an elderly widow after a stroke who lives down the street and can't get groceries on their own. I AM A FUNCTIONING ADULT, I CAN COMPOSE MY OWN EMAIL, THANKS

Tonight on "You own it, you may as well watch it" theater seems like a MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE riff, but also with Tracy Scoggins

You couldn't make Suddenly Susan today because of woke

New video: I'm looking back at Larry Pops Up!, a strange, forgotten desktop companion released by Sierra On-Line in 1996 to promote Leisure Suit Larry 7. When your computer was idle, Larry would "pop up" on screen and deliver one of 100+ fully voiced one-liners. Please watch and share!

Happy Marla Gibbs' birthday, everyone

Congratulations to the underrated drama The Knick!

Tonight! Join me for some shorter gay stuff that I may have shown before!

Once again, i am asking you to watch the disorienting, biting, wonderful summer film THE SWIMMER

Riley O’Neil, a biking advocate and Chicago Department of Transportation worker, died after he was hit with a car door and thrown into oncoming traffic earlier this month. In the Loop sits down with local organizers and cyclists to discuss building safer streets in Chicago.

I enjoy DISCLOSURE but I'm not sure if I could do a whole day of it, unless it was just the part where VR Demi looks like she's sneaking up on VR Michael Douglas

Chicago! Join Flint Taylor for a conversation with Martha Biondi about his new book THE CONVICTION MACHINE: Prosecutors, Politicians, and Police Violence in Chicago Thursday, June 18th at 6:00 pm CT RSVP to attend:

I wrote this last year for Pride, and now that we have come upon a big round anniversary of a very horrible night, it feels just as relevant--sometimes it's a shame when your words still feel fresh, the wound that hasn't even scarred. But I hope it gives you something all the same. Thanks.

Honestly "UFC fighters vs hordes of bugs" is a SyFy channel original I'd watch, or at least intend to watch

Post a logo, emblem, or title (with its original font) that remains as perfect today as when it was new.

goddammit going to buy THE MANITOU again

Gene Shalit (along with his absurd taste in film and fashion) was one in a million. Of TERROR TRAIN, he said “You’d be off the rails if you don’t choo-choose this loco-motion picture”, yet he called DAWN OF THE DEAD “Yawn of the living” and famously loathed THE SHINING. RIP, king of the dad jokes.

today I discovered this incredible story of a minor league pitcher who is 6'4 wears glasses and a ginger beard who hurt his elbow and went to the doc for Tommy John surgery and was mistaken for a pitcher from a diff team who was also there for TJ surgery on same day anyway heres their pics and names

Lol

Forget socialized medicine, I'd be happy with the socialized Star Trek rocks Canada has

Tonight! Join me for some shorter gay stuff that I may have shown before!

Watched D.A.R.Y.L. last night, having forgotten that it's an AI-based premise (which, duh, just didn't think about it) but the moral seems basically "keep AI away from the military" so that's fine I guess

"Elon may be a trillionaire, but with HBO MAX, you can be a PILLIONaire! Happy Pride Month!" I am a master of marketing

New Schlock Pit review! 🚨 And it’s @snipsmovies.bsky.social’s notes on sturdy TV flick INCIDENT AT DECEPTION RIDGE (1994): 🔗 theschlockpit.com/2026/06/12/i...

Saturday! Join me for for an evening of queer entertainment! It's a bit of a rerun as I'm compiled the best of previous pride streams (all new stream next week) but sure to be a good time! Heterosexuals also begrudgingly welcome! Starting at 7 central on 6/13 at app.kosmi.io/room/@dekkop...!

So I've been advertised this Zaavi range of Transformers art by someone called "Thumbs" as if this a wonderfully curated and created line by a major talent... But it's just existing art by other people with the word "Thumbs" slapped on it. Of which this is the worst.

Kind of shocked tonight's episode of Drag Race All Stars isn't just a full hour of Ru yelling "What are you doing watching this? You should be out seeing STOP! THAT! TRAIN!, in theaters now! ARE YOU EVEN GAY IF YOU'RE NOT? DON'T MAKE ME GO ALL BILLY EICHENER, I SWEAR I WILL"
