In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

Although more seriously, with how foundational Simpsons references are to my way of speaking and how "The Youth" just do not get them and forcing me to find new crom- acceptable expressions is a thing.

I believe that’s when Raymond Chandler said two guys with guns should bust through the door. He didn’t know about laptops.

Craig and April start a romance, but Dr. Shark has returned to put a stop to it. The Baywatching on No Way Out is now public, please share!

My thumbnail for Baywatching: No Way Out. Craig and April smile at each other. Dr. Shark (a shark in a doctor's coat) sits sinisterly between them.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

Lee would probably grit his teeth to recall Max also did that sadly viral video Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling. Also the terrible Bright.

I love when they go weird with werewolves. "Oh, yeah, on the night of the Pentecost I have to travel to Hell to fight the Devil."

We're kind of lacking in good werewolf movies over all but when we get a good one, it's a good 'un.

If I wrote an article about how Johnny Cash seemed uncool I would just look at what I wrote and then walk into jail or the sun, maybe both.

I think studios have killed the mid-level film because they don't return enough on the investment (as far as late-stage capitalism goes) and streaming services mean the movies that would have served that role aren't omnipresent like TBS running Iron Eagle roughly once a day.

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival

The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI.

Gunn can surprise you. A friend pointed out how every gun (heh) in S1 was a reflection of the person. Chris uses hilariously overcompensating weapons, Adrian is slick and precise, Ads uses whatever she's given and the Nazis all use Lugers and AR-15s.

In middle school they wanted my class to sing that song, walking towards a camera with a fresh from Iraq father of one of my classmates. My brain short circuited and I said "no, this is dumb" and sat out.
