Don’t follow me if you don’t believe Black Lives Matter, trans women are women and we should protect the most vulnerable in society.

Damn though, that Avatar trailer. I know the plot of these films is rote af, but they have a FEELING, man. I cannot wait. I wish I hadn’t seen the trailer though. (At Predator Badlands and I’m not a true unsullied like @jeffcannata.bsky.social).

Just saw the trailer for the new Anaconda film… woof. All I can hope is that as a comedy they’re not showing too many jokes. Also, Paul Rudd is showing signs of aging! I mean unbelievable for 56, but like Keanu, someone has discovered his portrait.

The fact that we live on a planet that is potentially rewarding a man who says shit like this with a trillion dollars is… just… what? bsky.app/profile/iwri...

God, from the few reviews I've read it sounds like Lumines Arise is a game I sort of NEED right now.

God, from the few reviews I've read it sounds like Lumines Arise is a game I sort of NEED right now.
And another great piece to share, this time from @lexluddy.xyz - her review of Lumines Arise through the lens of coping with personal trauma, mental health troubles and eating disorder, with Tetris Effect being an anchor for that point in her life. Powerful stuff: bsky.app/profile/lexl...
Here's my Lumines Arise review.
It's probably the most personal thing I have ever published on the internet.

Lumines Arise Review: A Miraculous Follow-Up To The Perfect Game That I Needed Right Now
Lumines Arise is an incredible culmination of much of Mizuguchi and Enchance's legacy, and the result is something that Lex needed now more than ever.

Make Bond a codename. Grizzled Pierce Brosnan with his unbelievable head of hair is the baddie. "Oh, this is who they're calling Bond now?" he says to Mr. Dua Lipa. "That's what they called me, before they burned me. MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE LIVING HEEEEEERE."

This makes zero sense. There is no continuity across all of Bond. There's little to no chance that the next film will reference anything from Craig's era. bsky.app/profile/will...
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Man, I adored everything about Bugonia - including the fact that a 8pm Thursday showing of a Yorgas Lanthimos movie in my hometown was pretty full and although more crowd-pleasing than some of his other movies, doesn’t coward out of the weirdness.
