AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

If you had a good sound system this album was probably like, just behind Boston's debut in something that was powerful enough sonically to peel paint from your house but left you with a big stupid grin on your face

it ain't rocket science it's Russian asset

I see many people saying SINNERS shouldn’t be considered a “mere” horror film because it’s so good and thematically layered. Which strikes me as very insulting to Ryan Coogler (who was obviously overjoyed to be making a horror film) and, well, the entire history of the genre! It’s a rich field!

Holy. Shit.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

behold: a film made for the eternal teenager in us all

Although Larry McMurtry is best known for Lonesome Dove, which overshadowed his other works and got him pigeonholed as a writer of westerns, he actually had the soul of a European novelist. In this essay, I will

not beating the allegations that antivax beliefs are downstream of being afwaid of needles

I generally feel like a fairly awesome dude all things considered. But damn is it a struggle not to be pissed off, like, ALL the time nowadays. That does not leave one feeling awesome; I just feel like even more of an asshole than usual. (Awesome or no I do often feel like an asshole. I'm a paradox)

Over the course of the show the writers killed off 26 characters, starting with the 5 Lombardis, their 2 goats and 8 chickens - in the first episode! Perhaps the most famous death was Coach Leroy Fedders drowning in Mary's well intentioned chicken soup after chasing Seconal with Jack Daniels.

This lovely piece by @marcberman.bsky.social is running in Forbes, and I have to say it's nice being remembered as a show that pushed boundaries and redefined what was possible in television. 3/ www.forbes.com/sites/marcbe...

50 years ago today (January 5, 1976) the best damned TV show ever - and Norman Lear's labor of love - debuted. It caused an immediate uproar, and we never took our foot off the pedal. We did 325 episodes of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman in 18 months, and taped 2 shows a day to get the Holidays off. 1/

No one knows what this is yet but people are melting down over it all the same. What in the fuck is wrong with you fuckers

"...Wendy?" "Yes, Lisa?" "...is the water warm enough?" "Yes, Lisa." "...shall we begin?" "Yes, Lisa." I was like 9 when that came out and did not *remotely* understand the way hearing that made me feel – but I damn sure knew I wasn't mad at it at all, oh no

fucking disgusting

The mail? LOVES me today.

My joy at being able to pull thru my last hospital visit has been replaced by the anxiety that it would've been cheaper to die. Just throwing this out there hoping for a miracle. I've got PayPal or cash app too.

THE GUNSLINGER: THE SLOW MUTANTS (1981) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 20” x 15” I took up the challenge of illustrating this scene illuminated solely by the flash of a gunshot. In so many ways, it was the shot that set the stage for Roland’s epic journey to the Dark Tower. 1/4

back when the shit was GOOD

doing the 4K happy dance like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As a culture I feel we've lost the fine art of having the action movie hero fight One Very Large Guy

This is all he wanted to do from the very start. It is all he will ever want to do.

A functional country would shut Grok down permanently. Like, immediately. Right now. Last week. Whatever. Just flip the switch. Obviously.

There is beautiful & insane and then there's CEMETERY MAN.

find you someone, etc

This was a good day. I remember this day.

This book is so good y'all

Post your First Film / Last Film of 2025 🍿

there's an argument to be made for this. you just call it "Myrna Loy"

find you someone, etc

Maybe Chow Yun Fat is cooler than Myrna Loy, but that's it. MAYBE.

Other than the original on Christmas Day we hadn't watched any of these for almost a year, which will simply not do. If you love movies then you should watch THE THIN MAN movies – and if you haven't met Nick & Nora Charles, you are missing out. Please believe me on that. They make life...better.

I'm glad I'm not even remotely famous. It's nice knowing there aren't countless people waiting for me to die so they can rattle off every horrible thing I ever did in my life. There's only a few of them, thankfully.

A confession: I don't really like DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE. What enjoyment I do get from it is almost entirely from Sam Jackson. I used to try to make myself like it because I wanted to so badly – but I just can't do it.

I would delete that post if I could. Not mine. Yours.

stop telling me how much you didn't like that movie then I'll stop singing "take a cookie and shut the fuck up about it" at you and not one moment before

Tfw

I am 10 minutes into this movie. That is enough to know that I am the person they made it for. No doubt.

We gotta imprison each of these shithead AI ceo's in a different data center like the minotaur

Yes, that is their thinking, yes

the better any given movie looks thru any new technology upgrade the more a John Carpenter flick will benefit from that: this is all I know

It's when you realize not one word of this is technically untrue that the despair *really* grabs you. After that, you feel your mind begin to go a little. It's 2026, and it's literally just getting started. Fucking A

Let's not forget, millions of Americans voted for Trump. They are our fellow citizens. So regardless of where we stand politically, it is imperative to reach out and tell each and every one of them that they are stupid fucking assholes.

"Hey, AJ. What kind of flicks you gonna get when you finally get a 4K TV and player?" "The kind no one is really surprised at, I'll tell you that."
