This could be fake, but it has that “promotional poster/toy packaging” look, so maybe not. If it’s not, I really don’t hate it? Except the fact that the X-Women are totally dissed obviously, except for Mystique.

I mean, the one on the right is gay AND Latino. It’s almost not even fair to compare, one has a real advantage here. But also, fuck Kid Rock and his meth face.

So I’m just supposed to not notice that the actors playing Caleb and Darem are super hot cause I’m 50? I’m supposed to ignore all those shirtless scenes I guess?

This Lost Boys Broadway musical is almost certainly gonna be awful, but that makes me even more excited for it somehow.

Also, that mall had this unicorn, which I can’t decide if it’s stoned, possessed, or just derpy, but I can tell you that I love him.

Most of my local childhood malls are dead or slowly dying. But yesterday I had need to go to the only one left, & I was shocked it was still thriving. There was still even a Spencer Gifts there, and I had to go in. Still had sex toys & cheesy Tchotchkes. When I walked in Whitesnake was playing. Me:

I was never this smart in my early 20s while working a crappy retail job. I waited to have sex with my older suburban dad boss until AFTER he transferred to a different Blockbuster Video location.

I’m sorry, but you cannot convince that RuPaul, who can’t remember the name of a winning queen from just the previous season, remembers that Jiggly Caliente, may she Rest in Peace, lip synced to “Toxic” back in 2012. The producers told her to mention it. Is that shade? Oh well 👀#DragRace18

I’m pretty sure I had this exact same nightmare in like, 1997, after spending all night at Magical Mickey’s Electric Daisy Carnival. (h/t @matmutchmr on IG)

Look, I’m utterly powerless against Alex Ross illustrations of Marvel/DC heroes at their most iconic. Even if it sucks, I’m buying this Marvel Dimensions thing www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

I know there’s supposed to be a new #StarTrek movie unconnected to any characters or previous series in the works (yeah right, I’ll believe it when I see it). But if it does happen, I’d be so happy if they set it on the 26th century Enterprise-J, designed by Doug Drexler. I adore this design.

Earth definitely doesn’t look like it was sent back to the dark ages to me, or even a pre warp status. I get how advanced tech can nullify stories, but then I just wish they’d set the Burn in say, the 26th century. This far past Picard’s era, I hoped to see something that looks like the Enterprise-J

I never post comments on thirst trap pics, even tho they obviously want the engagement. Makes me feel like the guy at a strip club who thinks the strippers actually like them. Having said that, it takes all my willpower not to turn into a drooling idiot when a guy I follow here does. Jfc he’s hot 🤤

Every decade or so, #XMen comics make a big leap forward you can't walk back. The O5 to the Giant Size team, the expansion into multiple X-Men teams in '91's Mutant Genesis, the expansion of the school in the Morrison era. Krakoa was such a leap forward, and going back now feels like a big mistake.

Loooove this alt poster for “A Nightmare on Elm St. 4: The Dream Master.” Just extra ‘80s sauce. I love Alice as a final girl. (via @jimharrisondesigns on IG)

I’ve given #StarfleetAcademy shit for how little tech progress has seemingly happened in 800 years, BUT to be fair, they’ve progressed things in one way I’ve liked; the galaxy has many mixed race aliens now. Half Klingon/Tellarite, half Jem ‘Hadar/Klingon, half Trill/Cardassian. Melting pot galaxy

Well, it's been a big week for pop culture 40th anniversaries. Published this week in 1986, Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns #1. Love it or hate it, it catapulted #Batman to new levels of popularity he hadn't seen in decades, leading to the '89 movie, B:TAS, & everything since. Kinda important

Donna’s wedding is hilarious because ‘70s Titans Duela, Mal, and Karen, all teenagers too supposedly or maybe early 20s, show up and look 50 now. Meanwhile Dick, Donna, Wally etc are all still 19, despite them all being the same age supposedly. The 70s Titans aged in real time but not the rest 🤣

Flashback to that time this gothy pseudo vampire chick attempted to seduce Bruce Wayne so she could marry him and get his money, and part of that plan was actually adopting Jason Todd/Robin hoping she could baby trap him. That’s dedication to a scheme. #Batman #BronzeAge

Then she changed her name to Harlequin, which made her the first Joker-adjacent character with that identity. She should sue 🤣
