Missed opportunity to remind people about "Man vs. Food". (Which is a subgenre of man vs. himself.)
An excerpt from https://michaelianblack.substack.com/p/bonfire-of-the-villainies which reads: "One of the interesting thing about heroes is that they cannot exist without villains. In fact, what defines heroes is what opposes them. We all know the familiar man vs. man, man vs. nature, man vs. himself trope. In each, the hero must confront some opposing force. In each, the hero must confront his own weaknesses in order to summon his greatest strengths. In each, the villain must be defeated so that the world may be righted."

He went for a swim in the Indian Ocean and got his ass stuck.
Tiamut the Communicator from seldom watched Marvel movie "The Eternals". It's a view from high in the atmosphere of a large stone head and hand sticking out of the Indian Ocean.

Wow. Duck? Do you think any animal with feathers that hatched from an egg is a duck? Check your privilege. Never meet your heroes, I guess. /s
The cover of P.D. Eastman's "Are You My Mother?" It shows a baby bird stop the head of a resting hound dog. It is asking the dog the titular question.

Me, getting a new phone: This time it will be different.
My phone, a few weeks later:
A screenshot of the Firefox address bar showing the infinity symbol where the number of tabs would normally be. Because the UI designers decided that keeping track of a triple digit number of tabs was a Me Problem.

Remove a letter, run a movie.

PAN LABYRINTH
An image of the 1960's Milton Bradley marble maze game "Skill-it". It is made from red plastic and contains a black glass marble which you navigate through the maze by tilting the game. It is also shaped like a frying pan. Get it? "Skill-it"? We have fun here.

A skull?
A skull trophy case from the movie Predator 2. There are 8 skulls arranged on a Giger-esque pegboard. Three of the skulls are humanoid and two of them have intact spinal columns. The rest appear to be alien in origin.

If you see this, post a doc.
A picture of Doc Brown from the 1989 movie "Back to the Future Part II". He's wearing a red shirt, yellow raincoat, crazy white hair, and a crazier smile.

Back in my day you could get two skeets for a nickel, the only song in the jukebox was "Jimmy Crack Corn", there were no motion pictures, and we liked it that way!! 👴🏻

I couldn't help but notice a dearth of blue sky thirst traps on here. I'm beginning to suspect that this is _not_ "OnlyFans for sky enthusiasts"...
