It's HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE COMICS, so we reviewed a film, AGAIN. Don't worry there's also comics in there but like, the big headline is I saw a film and I talked about it because it was kinda related to comics. SORRY! buttondown.com/humbleyourse...

also it does rule that James Gunn made an entire cartoon show about the guy he was about to write as a petty asshole all too happy to do fascism because it suits his needs

yeah obviously I reacted like a fucking loser nerd dipshit to that one reveal in the peacemaker finale; I have A HEART; I love THE CONVOLUTED WEB OF SECRET ORGANIZATIONS AT THE PERIPHERIES OF THE DC UNIVERSE; I'm NORMAL

In the middle of his masterpiece album about fame and alienation, Tyler brings out hip-hop's hottest in a track that overwhelms with how much it has going on; all the changeups and off-beat weirdness should keep it from working AND YET: it holds together by sheer force of horny and insane will

Need to spend more time with playing Battlefield 6 with actual people before I’d flesh this out into a full review, but I did finish the campaign. The campaign is kinda terrible. www.patreon.com/posts/140798...

there's a real sense of "if we had a SECOND COMING or a SFSX on there they'd make us give it away again so let's not bother" to it all

it's not on anyone making these fucking things but the decision makers at dc and warner bros but this vertigo announcement is several "but also"s in a trenchcoat is the thing

I've seen a couple of pages of the Megalopolis comic adaptation and I don't think I like that the lettering is competent and normal, I don't like that it doesn't communicate Adam Driver's bewildering deliveries

did not realize that the white monster essentially just tasted like one berroca, and I can down those just fine; not the best monster, not a monster I'd build my identity around, but, y'know, it's sugar free monster

if the sentiment requires a clause, if the tweet requires a "but", I'm learning it's not much use to post it; just a Pearl Of Wisdom I learned at 33

Having essentially won pop two singles ago (see entry for DAY FIVE), Lil Nas X takes his victory lap in a mix of down and dirty trap beats and triumphant synthetic brass; the whole method is there, unapolegetic rhymes and an irresistible chorus; also there is quirked up white boy Jack Harlow
