The Thing is more of a superhero movie, if you're an octopus.

Everyone who worked on a Watchmen sequel is going to be turned into a pagan bone shrine in Alan Moore's backyard

The next game should have Gosha mode, highlighting the underappreciated, clean, kinetic composition of Hideo Gosha.

Miike Mode 🗡️

We've partnered with Takashi Miike, the director of 13 Assassins, to bring you Miike Mode:

🎥Closer Camera
🩸More Blood & Mud

This mode puts you in the driver seat of a classic Miike film and delivers a more intense lens of Atsu's journey

Killing the work presentation, sitting down and realizing I spoke entirely in bug gibberish

Deep enough into Hollow Knight that it's getting very hard to see the appeal of non-Hollow Knight-related activities.

Gavin Newsom must be held to account for his actions in this week's chapter of Chainsaw Man.

Sean Penn playing one of the grossest, most unrepentant freaks ever seen in a movie and everyone is correctly going like "yeah he's giving it RFK Jr. at maybe 10%"

Improper use of inverted commas, Hoover! Improper use of inverted commas!!

Every single time I step onto the moving walkway at an airport I say to myself "moving walkway granny fuck, not moving fucking standway."

Another horrible Disney poster. It should just say "Back for Seconds" or "Coming Back for Seconds." The whole point of an iconic franchise is that you don't have to say that it's Homer! And the sprinkles all being the #2? Are you kidding? Completely dreadful.

Teaser poster for another Simpsons movie. "Homer's Coming Back for Seconds" with his hand taking a donut. The sprinkles on the donut are all the number 2.

Yes! I'm playing it for the first time with all the Silksong hype. Such good little cartoons. A bit Mike Mignola, a bit Jhonen Vasquez. Hard to think of another video game character from the past 15 years as perfect-looking as Hornet.

my husband @kalebhorton.bsky.social hated the phrase “passed away” and had nothing but scorn for softening euphemisms in general. he was a firm believer in the comedy rule of threes, but only if the third thing can hit as a surprise. and he just died

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

Death Is Just A Change

David Lynch has gone on to whatever the next place is. I’m very sad about it; it came at a hard time for the city of Los Angeles, a place he dearly loved, and it’s hard not to think his change of cons...

Typical Hollywood, the so-called "Final Reckoning" came out a few months ago but already here we go with the "Social Reckoning."

He's going to tell them all that actually, they're the ones with the fucking drinking problem, and they need to get off his case and look in the mirror because they're not perfect.

I actually think it would have been great if it was exactly the same except everyone got murdered

I liked everything about the Alien: Earth season finale...except that it was very much a *season* finale. Feels kind of silly to see Hawley shred 5 ensembles of Fargo but then get delicate around the Xenomorph.

This is very fair, yeah. Kids are not having these reactions and expressing these preferences in a vacuum. They're under surveillance.
