It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

Because Michael Moorcock was right (I love The Lord of the Rings to the point where I’d get sworn in on it maybe, but Tolkien was the kind of conservative catholic that got pissed that the sermons weren’t in Latin anymore)

Book #2: Page 1 rewrite starts tomorrow morning. For the best!

Sebastian Stan is a fine actor and I’m sure he’ll be great in the part if that’s what he’s playing. But still…
I’m sure it’ll zag in a worthwhile way, but I hate that the rumor mill seems to be pointing to The Batman Part 2 doing The Long Halloween in some form. Beyond that I think that comic sucks balls, Nolan already covered the only worthwhile part that ground.

Next Gen
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc

She’s right and she should say it.
At his introductory press conference in Toronto just now, Kazuma Okamoto says his daughter helped him choose the Blue Jays because she liked their logo the best of all the MLB teams 👍

David Robert Mitchell, despite having the most forgettable name on earth (three first names what the fuck?), put out two bangers in a row and is just now finally releasing a new one this year. Can’t wait.
UNDER THE SILVER LAKE is now on Netflix if you want to check out a dark, weird, funny movie that didn’t get the recognition it deserved upon its release.

This year’s Oscar race is starting to feel increasingly like the Oppenheimer year, where an intensely overdue director is getting their flowers. Maybe moreso because people keep looking for a competitor to keep the race interesting…”uhh Hamnet, no wait Sinners, no no wait Marty Supreme”

Cerebus, Spider-Man, Dragon Con, Misfits, Rosemary’s Baby, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, I’m probably forgetting something…
What's your favourite thing that's been made by an absolute cunt?

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Concluded the first season of Dark in our rewatch, and while I think it remains a fun twisty watch, there’s a part of me now that asks: “you can’t expect me to believe all these folks still live in this city, do you?” and “Wouldn’t some kind of bigger authority get involved in these murders?”

The second Viriconium book, A Storm of Wings, basically uses “what if the ghost guys from Return of the King actually came back to life and just lived among the rest of Middle Earth?” and plays with how that would fuck everyone up.
Now reading, what a duo.

Hey people! My son's science fair project is about how people visualize things when they read. It's very short and he'd appreciate it if you could fill it out, and share for more responses!

(info: 'print books' also includes ebooks)

Thank you! ☺️

I’m sure there’s a better answer, but if you asked me this when I was a pre-teen I would have said “Kindred: The Embraced”

My mom fuckin loved the main guy.
Name your fav show that was cancelled too soon

This Mad Men rewatch reminds me: I used to work with an awesome lady whose daughter was on the writing staff. I never pressed for goss or anything, but she did tell me that apparently the nicest people on set were Christina Hendricks and John Slattery.

Not a shocker but I like remembering it.

I had to see this for myself. Tubi is such a miracle.
TWISTED BY LOVE (Tubi) At around the 29 minute mark, this contains maybe the worst movie blooper I’ve ever seen. The scene ends, the actors talk about the take, the director resets, and they do another take. It’s all left in the edit.
