First up, I found the origin of David Icke's Lizard People theory.
At some point between 1930 and 1938 (sources differ) a Californian guru named Maurice Doreal (really Claude Doggins from Arkansas) published The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean.

I do like the Kevin Smith He-Man though, and I was never a fan as a kid. But that doesn't matter because I belong to Gen X and my casual interest will be shoved down the throats of younger generations who have even less money, probably til I die!

A piece about Transformers, or why stealing media for kids, giving them to adults and torturing toys to death when you're at it is a terrible idea.

I truly honestly thought everyone knew this stuff.
Never a bad time to remind people though.
Stay especially for the quote from the eminent biologist that amounts to "Genes aren't selfish, Richard."

There is a story here that deserves to be told in its entirety, just for its core literary depiction of what, exactly, Richard Dawkins is.
To add to this, Richard Dawkins (biologist). Complaining about Rebecca Watson. www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

Come for an analysis of a film where the hero is a giant, angry, fire-breathing, flying turtle, stay for the bit where I compare Gamera and Godzilla to Cuthbert the Caterpillar and Colin the Caterpillar.

Found the show House of David. Was interested to write about it because, you know, adapted religious texts, cultural appropriation, political subtext, all that stuff.
It's not good. But then I found the episode where the pre-credits scene was entirely done in AI slop.
Nope. Nope. Nope.

They're convinced we're all NPCs because they are actually mostly NPCs.
They think we're all groomers because they hate children and want to marry teenagers.
They don’t believe people can organise without being paid, because they get paid to turn up.
They tell on themselves.

Honoured to have in past years known some of the people who made the un-eradication of Measles possible, nay, inevitable.
Who could have guessed that they'd all wind up hardline TERFs?

Of course, they're all hardline TERFs now.

I normally refrain from commenting on international geopolitics because unlike my invariably excellent* media takes, my political takes are not informed or well thought out.
Great God though, this world is terrifying right now. That's all. That's the thought.

No, I want good movies to be only for a secretive intellectual elite who saw past the Veil of Maia to the true nature of reality. The rest of you deserve Fantastic 4: First Steps and Netflix tax write-offs.
The whole idea that there's this category of great art that no one really likes and you only watch it because you have to is a criminal conspiracy to drive people away from experiencing art.
People who think Kurosawa is “homework cinema” need to be slapped around a bit.

so cool that when Kurosawa made Seven Samurai, he was like, "What if a movie absolutely ripped for three-and-a-half hours straight?"

My son is encouraging me to watch Stranger Things Season 5 and I got two and a half episodes in and I can't take any more of this.
