Curious to see what we have in common and what this says about me.

If anything, we're not demonizing generative AI enough.
And thanks, Level 5, as much as I liked Fantasy Life, you just convinced me to never buy another one of your games again unless you can give me assurances that you didn't use AI.

Why is it that whenever some terrible famous person dies, we're supposed to pretend like they weren't terrible, and we're somehow the bad guys for pointing out their misogyny, racism, or anti-LGBT+ hate?

Whenever I see clips of chuds (in other people's videos or posts), it's so obvious they're fake fans, grifters, and culture war tourists who act like they're the biggest experts and sole authority on fandoms and pop culture topics when they're liars who don't understand them.

I'm just saying that if a terrible government used my image to make a racist meme that condones widespread abuse, I'd call that out and do everything I could to distance myself from it.
That "Doug Walker redemption arc" sure aged poorly.

Okay @matbrunetvo.com so it’s been almost a week and neither Doug Walker nor Channel Awesome have responded to this publicly.
But just out of curiosity I DM-ed Doug about this on Facebook (something I’ve never done before) and SHOCKINGLY he responded to me, and well…
(Don’t shoot the messenger)

Two things can be true.
Awareness and staying informed are very important.
You can do that without constantly screaming "we're all doomed!" and barging into everyone's posts when it's not wanted.

Social media absolutely ruined both media criticism and media literacy, and so much of the blame rests on algorithms that reward laziness and bad faith criticism.
It's why I'm very selective in the critics and pop culture channels I follow on YouTube and here.

Finally got caught up with the King of the Hill revival this week and this is the gold standard for future revivals.
Let the characters age, have them live in modern times, show their growth, but still remain true to who they are. Bring back as much of the OG cast as possible.

Why do some people insist on being annoying reply guys? Especially if it's a trending topic. It's like they HAVE to post their shitty contrarian opinion.
And it's always the ones that have the default pfp that are the worst.

"The Avatar movies have no CuLtUrAl ImPaCt!"
If that's the case, then why does Film Twitter never shut up about them?
Also, the general audience loves these movies. There's a reason why each one is successful.

Hot take? I'm just saying that if we give up watching something every single time a CEO of a studio did something stupid or an actor has shitty opinions, then we might as well give up on movies and television entirely.

I have never understood the hate boner some people have for fanfiction when it has always been part of the writing process.
Writers, even the greats like Shakespeare, take inspiration from other people's work just as much as they do from their own ideas and experiences.

The Second Story, AKA author Hilary Layne, recently put out a video claiming that the fall of modern writing and storytelling can be traced to fanfiction. That the process of writing fanfiction has utterly ruined...everything.
I want to set the record straight.

Despite chuds constantly chanting "Go WoKe Go BrOkE!" (which isn't a thing), and terrible anti-LGBT+ laws, I love that one of the most popular shows this year is about queer demons fighting a Fox News allegory and another is a romantic drama about LGBT+ hockey players.

So much of right-wing grievance politics and manosphere content is based on things that are completely made up so they can pretend to be victims for clout, influence, and grifting.

Typing prompts into software that's based entirely on plagiarism will never make the AI bros artists no matter how much they pretend.
It'll always make them lazy frauds and grifters who want instant gratification.

Idea for a Prestige TV series - GRUBER, a prequel to Die Hard about the life and times of Hans Gruber from his childhood with Simon, introduction to terrorism, his early trials and successes, to finally recruiting his crew for the doomed Nakatomi job.

Can 2026 also be the year that people stop calling human made art they don't like "slop"? Especially not movies, shows, and games.
Slop should only ever be reserved for describing AI generated garbage and maybe YouTube content mills that require no effort.

It's probably a good idea to not ever take medical, financial, legal, or even self-help advice from AI. Listen to the actual experts, not the hallucination machine that's wrong most of the time.

Wasn't Paramount's whole pitch to Warner Bros "Hey, unlike Netflix, we'll still let you do theatrical releases" and now they're already killing theatrical releases in favor of their streaming service. Creatives deserve better.
The Ellisons REALLY want CNN.

I really hope that 2026 is the year we finally stop rewarding and celebrating negativity, doomerism, and hating things for clout.
It's a choice to constantly spread this shit around, especially on Bluesky where there's no algorithm that promotes it.

People really need to learn the difference between snarky riffing that's done in good faith and fun (like what RiffTtrax does) vs bad faith criticism, shouting petty insults at people, and simply being an asshole for no good reason.

Prediction - Marty Supreme will become mainstream (if it hasn't already), sweep the awards, Film Twitter will start an obnoxious hatedom for it, and then they will act like they never liked it or that it was never good in the first place.

The addition of the Sabre Dance music makes this scene much funnier than it would have been if than if they had done a gross out scene with Homer and the meat without it.
Its like the Benny Hill music in that it automatically makes something funnier.
