My most recent go-to podcast is Ruined, in which someone who loves horror movies recaps them for her friend who is too scared to watch them but wants to know what happens in them, and they have a valid question about how bathroom breaks work on Old Beach, the beach that makes you old from Old (2021)

The Marvel TTRPG has brought out a couple of accessory packs with screens, maps, and tokens for all the characters and I am Kid-Giving-Thumbs-Up-Memeing at the attention to detail like giving you a whole pile of tokens for Jamie Madrox

Ohoho, just remembered that I've got a pre-order in for Missing Link Nemesis Prime at the end of the month

I think this might be my first ever Evil Repaint?

Finished up Wonder Man and that was freaking GREAT

Exactly the kind of thing I've wanted them to do with the shows; a non-superhero narrative but still using the superhero universe

No traditional villain-based plot structure, just the relationship between two guys and some fabulous acting

A few months back there was a guy at the next table droning on and ON about crypto to his obviously bored friends until one of them shut him up by shouting in the peppiest Informecial Guy voice you've ever heard "FINALLY! A currency JUST for paedophiles!"

My own friends had to stop me from choking
I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

There's been a big online argument between the 'let people enjoy things' and 'let people hate things' crowds the last few days and tbh both camps are missing the more reasonable stance that is 'love and hate whatever you want, just try not to be a weird dick in other people's mentions'

Nexus Prime won't see your comments, but all your friends who turn into three different kinds of nothing will

Willem Dafoe has a hog so prodigious that Lars von Trier insisted it be replaced by a smaller prosthetic lest his nude scene distract the audience from everything else in the movie

All of which is to say: that's the kind of energy that live-action Skeletor deserved instead of the Morbin' creeper

Oh wow, they diagnosed the Internet

hahaha WHOOPS

Yeah, I guess you could say I had fun with this one

I managed to die within the first hour of today's Call of Cthulhu adventure, which I'm fairly sure is a personal best

Imagine if instead of being lazy thought-terminating sludge those '[X] Ending Explained' videos actually WERE educational basic media aids for younger movie watchers, like "these are the filmmaking techniques the director is using, these are the themes and metaphors and how to recognize them" etc.

My friend has set out to watch every Marvel movie for the first time between now and Doomsday and asked if she could talk to me, our group's resident super-freak, about each one afterwards and I am trying to think of a more mature response than sicko_window.jpg

If a conversation goes badly enough you should be allowed to come back later and redo it in ADR 😩😩😩

Maaan, I've only JUST finished chuckling about the Conformitygate people and now you're giving me Star Wars folks convinced that the new head means that they're definitely gonna wipe all the newer movies and shows from continuity?

As a fan of delusions I've been eating WELL this month, nom nom nom

In a delightful touch, the new @blpublishing.bsky.social volume of Catherine Crowe stories came with a crow feather tucked between the pages

Less delightfully, when I took it out of the package I thought it was a set of big black gently moving spider legs sticking out of the book, lol

MY HEART 😩😩😩

Y'know, I think I'm gonna need Kingpin to die at the end of DD: Born Again; great actor an' all but the last few years of real life have really eroded my tolerance for the 'murderous asshole who's untouchable because of his money and connections' archetype

Sir I just want to give you some money and for you to give me the thing, this is exhausting

Huh; the very dense n' layered writing of my favorite fantasy series (The Malazan Book of the Fallen) stemming from the writer applying short-story techniques to novels makes a lot of sense - it's like I can always tell when a comic creator has come up via the very compressed short stories of the UK

Tonight we watched 1985 classic The Last Dragon, which is probably the best blaxploitation comedy kung fu musical I've seen this WEEK

My four-word review: "Wait... is this DeBarge?"

This app adding 'posts a lot' to the possible user labels feels like when a videogame has 'it's good to take occasional breaks you know' on its loading screens

After Lee Jones and Eckhart both failed the assignment, I hope Sebastian Stan gets to spend his entire first hour as Harvey Dent talking about how handsome he is and how much he enjoys being handsome

Got some french onion soup going in the slow cooker while I'm out today so by the time I get back in I expect my house to be firmly in the pocket of Big Onion

I FORGOT THE GODZILLA MINUS ONE SEQUEL IS COMING THIS YEAR
