Wears red, likes to beat up hooligans on the subway, and strikes me as someone who thinks cats are the only people who really understand him.

The only thing Raph is missing is a satin jacket with "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" written on the back and you know he would wear it everywhere.

I mean he's right. Raph is basically Curtis Sliwa, right down to the red headwear.

The Wing Commander movie tried to do this. Complete with Jurgen Prochnow and a scene where they shut down power and tensely wait as "depth charges" explode all around their space ship

It was not a good movie
what star wars really need is a HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER style submarine thriller

And who plays Teddy Roosevelt

Of course Prime didn't put Michael Showalter's name on the poster - he's the only reason I'd watch this!

Ok now you've won me over to watch it
"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’
Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

No Joe Dante? Then it's not really a Gremlins movie is it?
During its third-quarter earnings call, Warner Bros. confirmed that it's working on a new #Gremlins movie, with Steven Spielberg producing and Chris Columbus directing. It's due to hit cinemas on November 19, 2027.

I'm so worried that Joe Dante's name hasn't been attached to this yet. These are really HIS movies and I'd hate to see one without him involved.

We are going to look back so fondly on this team. They are going to be genuinely loved by this city years down the road. When the players come back to town on another team. When they make an appearance years later throwing out the first pitch.

Plot twist - he's right, but actually about the Romans, or the Saxons, or the Danes, or the Normans.

Two blocks from each other on the same street (Palmerston). Remember: what is at stake here is if Emily Rose goes under and is converted to residential, going back is nigh impossible—a community amenity lost for good.

We're going to look back so fondly on this Jays team.

But right now I'm just so frustrated.

They had this.

Baaaarerfffff

Sometimes the anxiety beats out the thrill and you just stop watching the game and go to bed

Thanks for the healing potion you totally should have used while i was fighting you!

That's up there with "enemies drop absolutely random loot that has no bearing on what they're physically carrying/wearing"

Windows 11 with a native, tv friendly version of Steam's Big Picture mode would give people the exact same solution

I'm always shocked by the number of people that run their steam deck in docked mode. They want easy PC gaming on their tv and Windows doesn't have a good UI for that

What do you mean everyone who really likes film can't just drive to Vaughan

The art direction takes a massive cue from Coppola's Dracula.

It is also extremely Catholic in imagery and costume. His most religiously themed work since Pan's Labyrinth. Gothic by way of the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral instead of via Notre Dame or Cologne.

Spoiler free thoughts on del Toro's Frankenstein:

Every shot is gorgeous and there are some shots that feel like they came from a stylized anime with his use and framing of moving fabric

The pacing and act structure is operatic. It has a sedate middle act and tightly focused interpersonal finale

If the Rogers Centre had a parking lot that covered the same surface area as the Dodgers' parking lot, it would stretch from Queen Street on one end to the Lake Ontario waterfront on the other

At the time, Billups' pervious domestic violence case was brought up and was ignored by the team.

And according to this photo one of the founders is a Jays fan!

The 2025 World Series matchup out of context…

The Jays' after game party looks like Bear Night. So many thick dudes with beards and no shirts dancing with each other.
