"In this properly-educated Creature developed by @realgdt.bsky.social, we find a much kinder, more readily redeemable character. In the book he engages in multiple instances of cold-blooded murder...but in the film much of the bloodshed is in self-defense or in the heat of passion."

IF you are going to Pan’s Labyrinth’s Screening at Beyond Fest in LA… Don’t make plans after that… Feed the parking meter.

Love this line read so much, but there is something about the delivery that low key reminds me of Charles Bronson in his funnier moments and it makes me appreciate it even more

If I controlled an animation studio- any animation studio- I would jump both feet forth. Alas- for good or bd- I do not.
Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.
After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

After two times through ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, I especially love that — both in text and title — it steadfastly aims to be about the containers into which politics pour themselves generation after generation, rather than the minutiae of the politics themselves.

Hearing the statue of the flayed St. Bartholomew in the Cathedral of Milan is among the strong influences for Del Toro's Creature. #Frankenstein

Best acting in the 1992 Dracula is Keanu Reeves, because he successfully convinces us that his character is a virgin

For the last 24 hours Twitter has been full of people mocking the everloving shit out of this “fantasy author” for trying to dunk on one of Hideo Kojima’s best creations: FAT MAN. If you’re wondering why everyone is making Orc City jokes, this is why:

I'm just gonna say the amount of peacefulness that these large rallies where essentially nobody was in charge is stunning and fantastic.The media doesn't seem to be too happy though… Definitely looking for any violence they can play up. But the story should be how unbelievably wonderful it all went.

Let me state the obvious here:if somehow all this smoke about Iran turns into anything real involving any military action by US (hard to believe...If we go there we're truly in crazy town)the President could then drag in all kinds of little-used war powers to add to things like the Insurrection Act.

No argument about the lack of cooperation. But I've taken part in dozens of protests, covered a hundred more as a journalist. Was present at the LA Riots (with a press pass that let me defy curfew). I've never seen violence help. Never. Speaking as purely a strategic method to aid effectiveness.
I think violence would have worked. But resistance groups were scattered, unorganized, and- much like leftist/social justice groups of today- wouldn’t work together due to ideological differences.

As we said in the last Common Sense (and as anyone paying attention already knows) POTUS' move in Los Angeles is designed to provoke. He WANTS the federally-controlled show of force & he wants the confrontation (hence the careful use of key words "insurrection" and "rebellion"...

Absolutely this. Look at the Civil Rights movement. What do you think the Greensboro Sit-ins were? Or Rosa Parks on the bus? Or MLK getting arrested? All of them were stunts that forced an indifferent press to start reporting on the actual issues. Stunts are good. Let legislation follow
The "it was just a political stunt" people need to review history and see how much progress has been made in the world because of political stunts!

in re: Frankenstein, this thread from a couple months ago.
Spent a full year this month immersed in the Romantic generation and their predecessors/precursors, bc of this book I just wrote. I feel like these people are my friends now. I walk around with Keats, Byron, Shelley, in my head. I'm always thinking about them. I will miss them. Cue Dorothy Parker.

M:I THE FINAL RECKONING (2025)—like the last one, a good time but a bit of a disappointment by McQuarrie standards (caveat: that means it's still better than almost all US action movies these days). Almost 3 hours and you can still feel some bits that likely went the way of the cutting room floor.
