lmao no way, they really added a Joxer to Metroid Prime 4. That's unbelievable. No way this guy has Ted Raimi's charisma though.

That cat is the most intelligent pet I’ve ever met. I mean, I haven’t actually seen him do anything intelligent, but he has this aura, like he’s thinking about doing something intelligent.

broken record on this but a similarly great beat for left wing media would be covering arts and culture and not just focusing primarily on politics and current events because there's a massive void there right now
it does seem like there’s a major—though potentially fleeting—opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

I'm a no-budget filmmaker with a dayjob... Every time one of my movies gets a letterboxd review a big hatch opens up in my apartment wall and dispenses one pistachio for me to huddle over.

I never hear anyone talk about this band but this album is so good. Jangle pop + classical guitar is a great combo. They also managed to alchemically produce a Velvet Underground style energy that DOESN'T annoy me (I'm sorry).

My favorite band.
this is the only correct thing to have nostalgia for the year 1999 for. all other answers are false prophets leading your soul into oblivion. it's not too late to turn back and redeem your fragile soul with the pleasing sounds of tape loops www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFTf...

Getting into Koji Shiraishi's epistolary horror. "Occult" is amazing. The way it gradually morphs between doc formats... Trashy true crime to social realist character study to one of those "filmmaker-is-complicit-in-crimes" docs you almost never see outside "Emperor's Naked Army..." Incredible.
