I sometimes wonder if I'm just an auld fella shaking my fist at clouds when I back off from modern tech, but the truth is, most big tech products are no longer built to be useful, they're built to rinse you for a minimum standard service. And even children can see this.
Why are kids getting into comics and is their timing spot on?

I was a senior in high school in the last week of class. A bunch of us, when let go early, swung through the theater to catch this "Jurassic Park" thing.
The first shot of the brontosaurus is seared in my brain to this day.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Sorry for using comics and art to vent and cope with the world changing around me. I will return to drawing whimsical and silly frog wizards and adventures.

Predator Badlands is based on a ridiculous concept that's PG-13, the predators talk it out, and for some sections of the movie it's almost a buddy comedy.
It also rules. I saw it last night with one of my kids and we had an absolute blast. I'm excited to be skeptical about and then love the sequel

This is a very good write up on Sinners and the reactions to it.
The author does leave out another factor - how explicitly anti-organized religion it was. Remmick implies his culture was swallowed by the expansion of Catholicism, and well, you know what Sammie does.

The Hit Hollywood Didn’t Want - The American Prospect
Ryan Coogler’s bloodsucker blockbuster is all about Black creative freedom. No wonder the industry saw it as a threat.

Walter is FAR more informed about movies and cinema than I.
If he says Badlands is great, rest assured, my enthusiastic love for the movie is not just me screaming about it. It is just freaking good.

A villain is defeated in battle, comes back as a hero with one last chance and then dies for real?
Not only is this a cool effect, but flavor wise it is leagues ahead of the Spider-Man set. And this is just one card. The other stuff they showed off today was on point.

Hell yes. This is how I feel about the movie theater as well. Nothing replaces the experience of being in a room of people and hearing honest reactions to what is on screen.

Ok for the few people that follow me that actually read what I post - yesterday all images, including my own profile pic on my page, disappeared here. I've done the usual basic troubleshooting. Support told me to do them again. I saw on github a few others having the same problem. Any ideas?

Saw a best movies of the year list tonight that included three movies actually released in wide release in theaters and as a plebian movie lover who doesn't have access top movie festivals I want to throw the list into orbit.

Keeping WBD out of Paramount's hands is good.
Putting it in Netflix's is still unlawful consolidation though. This is the #1 streamer merging with #3.
State enforcers should speak up.

Netflix has won the bidding war to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery.
The sale is not yet finalized, as the U.S. Department of Justice could also interfere due to anti-trust concerns.

This is an excellent analysis of the history of Magic design with concluding tips on deck and cube building. If you play cube or commander, give it a read.
A tricky thing about #mtgcube, and Eternal deckbuilding more generally, is that pet cards don't always play well together.
It's not just "power creep," either. Magic's design ethos has changed so much over 30 years, it might as well be 4 different games:
