This is an incredible idea

MATANGO’s so fucking good. Just saw it two nights ago for the sixth time; I’m at the point where I look for excuses to recommend it to people.

This made me laugh out loud while eating breakfast in public earlier, thank you

I haven’t laughed as hard at anything in a week as I did at ‘Consequence,’ thank you and God bless

Man, I hope my funeral isn't an enormous gaudy rally full of people barely disguising their glee at being able to point at an airbrushed t-shirt of me and go "SEE!?!?" to the other side of the culture war for the next 1-2 weeks before everybody moves on to a beanie baby with pronouns or something.

I swear to God I remember seeing that when I was little. Memories of the ball pit never really leave you.

I adore it. It is a perfect object.

@lcosgrove.bsky.social Question - how do I request a film review from you on the Patreon?

Hasturtium @messkatonic.bsky.social · 6d

Also absolutely crestfallen that the source of a cheesy quote used as a sample in an old song is not, in fact, INVINCIBLE OBSESSED FIGHTER.

People who follow me: what’s a good double feature with LADY SNOWBLOOD that isn’t its sequel?

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

The BFI release was less electronic/dithered-looking than Shout’s, but I hear you.

Hasturtium @messkatonic.bsky.social · 12d

Take the good moments when they show up, man.

It is so weird how these movies manage to avoid directly grappling with body horror and end up feeling ill-considered and gross anyway

The Man Show, yes, alongside Adam Carolla. Kimmel pivoted, Carolla didn’t.

It’s been about a decade since you sold me Excel Saga on DVD back on the Bird site, and it was just this week when I found out you’ve taken the reins on Mark Trail. Hope you’re well - I think my fourteen year old is finally ready for Excel Saga.

I believe the good folks over at @flmfrkcentral.bsky.social noted that the Harry Potter HD-DVDs had supplements in SD while the Blu-rays had them in full HD. That difference was really big.

Hasturtium @messkatonic.bsky.social · 21d

Capacity difference was also huge. A single layer HD-DVD topped out at 15GB capacity and 30GB if it was a dual layer; Blu starts at 25GB and maxes out at 50. Much better for bitrate, and HD-DVD's industry consortium also backed the VC-1 codec, which is less efficient than Blu's AVC.

this is great for two reasons

1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly

2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

I don't know if this is more or less weird than the Post Malone Oreos a while back. Post Maloreos? I dunno. Anyway, capitalism!
