Pinned
Enough new folks here that it’s time for a pinned intro:

I like to post about David Lynch movies, Alan Moore comics, AEW, Columbo, video games that everybody finished years ago, 90s sketch comedy, and collectible screenprints.

I don’t like to talk about politics, but I seem to do it a whole lot.

Alt: a man and woman are sitting at a table with the words " oh hello " on the top - the preceding was the auto generated description and it rules (this is George St Geegland and Gil Faizon, charmed I’m sure)

my sole contribution to Newsom discourse: normies can smell “phony” on him, it’s John Edwards 2.0

he might get nominated, he might win, but he isn’t *changing* shit. at this point in the cycle, we should set our sights higher

q: does this invocation of the “popular left” jibe at all with the fact that the first use of “Epstein class” that many people heard came from Jon Ossoff?

a: no it does not
There’s a section of the populist left that wants to win internal Democratic Party fights by calling their factional opponents the “Epstein class,” and it just seems really obvious that the populist right is going to hear that as “the Jews” with some very bad results.
Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

didn't really see anybody talking about it after it came out last week, but I thought the first issue of the THUNDARR THE BARBARIAN comic (by Jason Aaron and Kewber Baal) absolutely nailed it

According to the new #TwinPeaks book, "A Place Both Wonderful and Strange" by @scottmeslow.bsky.social, this is how editor Duwayne Dunham initially wanted to start Part 1:

practical question: if it was that easy to repeal, will it be that easy to put back into place?

Two things that are both true:

1.) American conservatism has always been far worse than voters are willing to believe.

2.) The groyperization of the GOP has been a world historical catastrophe which will echo for generations.

real lack of protests along the NAFTA superhighway, I see
The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.

As an X-Men fan of many decades, it's a strange and disconcerting feeling to be rooting for someone called Senator Kelly

The rumors that Brody King was kept off AEW Dynamite by WBD were vehemently denied to me.

I'll add more context as soon as I'm able

if there was a polymarket on Massie jumping ship and caucusing with the Dems sometime this year, I might be tempted to go long
One of them has TDS, but it isn’t Massie

FOOT FIST WAY is also a prime example of "doesn't matter how many people see it as long as the *right* people see it"

movie makes 200 grand and McBride is doing TROPIC THUNDER two years later

speaking of FOOT FIST WAY, i'm looking at those box office numbers and can't help but be very curious about the $1,006 it made outside of the US/CA

that can't have even been worth shipping the reels!

Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:
