Weird #Beatles phenomenon spotted by my clever brother - Warren publications’ humor mag “Help!” ran this cover in Jan ‘65. The movie was still being promoted as “8 Arms to Hold You” that April, with the song “Help!” recorded that same month. So this weirdly predicts that title by 3 months.
Cover of January 1965 issue of humor magazine “HELP!” features a photo of the four Beatles, retouched so they have bald heads. Real cutting edge stuff for 1965 🙄

Worst superhero name ever
Promotional image for some tv show called Landman has some guy putting on a cowboy hat with flames and oil derricks in the smoky background. It says “new season now streaming Paramount + Watch now”

Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in the film “Aliens” - she has dark medium length hair and wears a shirt and jacket in muted colors. Her expression is unhappy. She says “I SAY WE TAKE OFF AND NUKE THE ENTIRE SITE FROM ORBIT”

Always good Sunday morning vibes at Afro Joe’s in the beautiful city of Chicago. Recently voted top ten coffee shops IN THE USA on Yelp. If you live in the area and have never been here, what are you even doing with your life? #boycottstarbucks

Terrific article by @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social

www.vulture.com/article/jame...

This quote 10000%:
In this way, Gunn has little in common with his contemporaries' superhero productions. These projects usually try to present themselves as nonpolitical, but their default settings are Fox News-coded cities where democratic government is corrupt or simply useless, street violence is rampant, and only extraordinary individuals from outside the system can restore order. See Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy and Zack Snyder's DCEU films, which for all their engrossing storytelling and visual splendors are militaristic fantasies of power and control with a splash of Ayn Randian exceptionalism. (You can track rising fascistic tendencies in the U.S. by studying the evolution of Batman, who went from a costumed detective in a cool car to an armor-plated commando driving a tank.)

A couple smiles and poses for a photo in front of their house. He’s wearing a skeleton jumpsuit and she’s wearing a witch hat. Behind them are an array of decorative tombstones, Jack-o-lanterns, skulls, and a sign that reads Everscream Park
