I've been going after this collection for a while, and today I finally finished it!

My complete Walmart Holiday 2016 Gold Slipcover Blu-ray collection!

These 11 Disney films were re-released for Christmas 2016 with metallic-foil slipcovers meant to look like presents. I now own all of them!

And guess what?

They finally brought out our food—and my order was wrong.

Not a great first impression, I gotta say. I walked in here more than an hour ago and I still haven’t gotten my food yet.

Wow.

I just waited 40 minutes after sitting down for the waiter to come over and ask what drinks we would like.

According to the manager, it was an assignment mix-up. I have a hard time believing that considering every other table was taken well care of around us. None of the staff saw.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

I loved, loved, LOVED Tron Ares! Obviously, the soundtrack was the highlight, but the film itself was just SO much fun!

If you are even a tiny bit interested, go watch this movie. You won't be disappointed!

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Zootopia 2 spoilers are starting to spread. Apparently a Little Golden Book released today (50 days early) and contains some major information that I'm trying to avoid.

So far I've managed to avoid the final trailer, but I don't know how long I can keep dodging spoilers like this...

Today is that day for me. I've made my decision. I have no idea if it's the right one or not, but I've spent the past three weeks thinking about it, and when the time came, I was ready to commit.

God help me.

Skul @skul.bsky.social · 28d

There will be times in your life when you are faced with a critical decision, and you won't know which choice is the right one. I am faced with such a decision right now--and I still don't know what the right choice is. It has been on my mind for the past day and a half. I hope I make the right one.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

Just finished rewatching Tron Legacy with my best friend (his first time watching it) and we've set next Thursday as the day we'll see Tron Ares (in 3D!)

Hey, speaking of 3D, I know it's a big ask Disney, but can you release Tron Ares on 3D Blu-ray? That would be awesome if you did.
