I don't like watching music videos because they interfere with the images and feelings songs naturally put in my head

GRRM just posted this on his blog

He goes on to clarify that Winds of Winter is NOT out and this is actually about the direwolves and then he posts an article about the direwolves (tbf the direwolves are cool)

He's just actively trolling us now

I'm reading #CarelessPeople and I am looking forward to The Social Network 2

honestly does a country even need an economy, anyway? Isn't it kind of like the appendix?

watching TENET again and thinking about how horrible inverted sex would be. You start by hoovering up your ejaculation, and then the rhythm is disorienting because the other person is experiencing everything in reverse... and don't get me started on the dirty talk! All backwards "sey sey sey dog ho"

I knew DC loved to call things Manhunters but I didn't realize the situation was quite this bad, the list of superheroes doesn't even include the GROUP or the MARTIAN Manhunter

too many manhunters! stop it!!!

Watched The Brutalist. Absolutely loved the first half, but found the rest melodramatic, uneven, and occasionally ridiculous

It's like There Will be Blood but if the second half of the script got eaten by a dog and then they hired the dog to rewrite it

sorry, but when I said I was interested in politics I was actually talking about the complex and intricate workings of the multi-species Covenant alliance in the Halo franchise

I absolutely do not want to hear your thoughts about disgusting human real world Earth leaders

think about it this way: as late as he is, he's somehow not as late as he could have been

I love how dramatic the title is and how mundane the subtitle sounds by comparison

Robert Langdon is going to travel across the world and dig through the most arcane texts only to discover his girlfriend left him because he was cheating on her with a horse trainer

putting the scorpion jacket on ED-209 and immediately becoming so horny you get lightheaded and crash through a glass table

This is Hellgate, a new villain "hell bent on Spidey's destruction." Am I old and out of touch or is this not a fun idea for a Spider-Man villain?

Whatever happened to the weird relatable losers who just want to rob a bank or get revenge on somebody for being a dick?

I found the use of Dr. Manhattan in the DC comics universe borderline obscene?

But I think they should do a big event with Morpheus Sandman as the villain. I'm pretty sure DC owns the rights so they don't have to ask permission or pay royalties or anything
