What I post from
A closeup of Lyra’s alethiometer from His Dark Materials, the eponymous Golden Compass. It’s a small clockwork dial with needle-like pointers, with a row of small symbols around the edge.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Coming soon to Untitled Star Trek Project - Star Trek V! This stupid film was a delight to revisit - it has far more in common with TOS than IV or VI, being both ridiculous and full of humour and adventure, and cheapness. Bring it on @nathanbottomley.com @toddbeilby.bsky.social

This week, on a planet where evil carnivorous overlords oppress and prey on a helpless populace, we decide to watch and discuss State of Decay.

The Three Who Rule: Camilla, Aukon and Zargo, regal figures in dark red medieval garb standing in a richly decorated red room. Aukon stares ahead, his jaw clenched. Camilla and Zargo stand behind him, baring their teeth.

Nosferatu is a movie about the universal fear that your wife wants to be jacked off by a Central European dude.

Three figures stand in a dark, cavernous interior: Aukon, a stocky man with bobbed hair, heavy eye makeup, and a fur-trimmed tunic looks startled in the foreground, while behind him the Doctor and Romana stare ahead with alarm.

The real lesson of Christmas is that if God had wanted to win over working-class Judeans, he should have sent down a less divisive Messiah.

Tom, Harry, Neelix and Chakotay somehow return from a mission with PTSD — and with memories of a battle which might not even be theirs. But there is a point here, and some last-act location work lifts the whole thing considerably.

A vampire king and queen in medieval costume stand side by side in a dimly lit hall, both with stern, watchful expressions; the king has a dark beard and long hair, the queen wears a jeweled headpiece and looks slightly to the side.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

The Independent’s review of #TheWarBetween reads like the author hasn’t watched Doctor Who since 1972 - with misplaced gags about wonky sets and cardboard monsters. Something the show rarely was back in the day, but definitely has not for 30 years.

The Australien Government has made an ad about the Social Media Ban for Under-16s, and it's surprisingly honest and informative.

Terrance's planned vampire story has been unexpectedly cancelled, and he has only a few weeks to come up with a replacement. Fortunately, he's brilliant.

Still from Horror of Fang Rock, Part 2. The Doctor and Vince are standing in the lamp gallery; they are both looking at us with serious expressions on their face.

This week, a seminal moment in the history of television appears to be taking place at 0.5× speed. @nathanbottomley.com & Joe realise that classic doesn’t mean best, but classic gets labelled for a reason.

A tall, narrow lighthouse stands on a rocky outcrop at night, its beacon glowing faintly through thick mist above dark, still water.
