So from what I understand, they're struggling to write a new Bond because they want to take him being blown up last time into account for some reason? Sounds silly to me, but even so it feels like cinema has already provided the most elegant solution to that self-made problem:

That new Primate movie about the chimp killing loads of teens really looks like it's captured one of my all-time nightmares

Being stuck in a house full of teenagers... brrrr, I can't even imagine

cw: serious for a sec

I've been privileged enough to have a therapist for ideation for several years; if you're having dark thoughts I promise you this AI bullshit will be worse than nothing, because it makes you think you're talking to someone but it's still only you

I saw a Mr Beast advent calendar in the supermarket three and a half hours ago and I'm still wearing this expression

Had an interesting chat last night about how this age of vast entertainment choice funnelled through algorithmic recommendations has created a shallower level of media literacy than when people having fewer choices meant that they ended up being exposed to more things that they didn't already like

Oh no; now I've become the kind of person who buys unnecessary repaints???

How does this line have such a deathgrip on me 😩😩😩

Okay, pickled onion recipe thread!

If you have an hour free on two consecutive days and some simple ingredients, you can transform the humble onion into a delicious accompaniment to cheese and charcuterie

I'mma walk you through it, step by step:

I feel like I could look after an isolated hotel with a dark past all winter and be fine, actually

Me, earlier: Phew, finally getting around to reading Skybound TF #24... at least I can be sure that one of my GOOD PALS would have warned me if there was something specifically heartbreaking to me in particular inside this one

Yessssss

I've said it before but there's nothing for giving your media literacy some healthy exercise like enjoying some ambiguous art and then never reading anyone else's opinions about it

Just sit in your thoughts and build your own relationship with it
please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

The best thing about this photo is that it could happily be either "Master thief La Belette returns to admire the scene of the crime under the very noses of the gendarmerie" or "The clueless local boys glower as the mayor is forced to call in eccentric private detective Champs Duchamps"

Big smug hours at work today because we've gone from my co-workers making fun of me mixing up a li'l jar of pumpkin spice (a tbsp of cinnamon plus half a tsp each of ginger, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and white pepper) for my coffee this month to them asking me to make them some too. GOT 'EM

I think I actually prefer that Missing Link is doing the repaints/remolds either alongside or very quickly after the originals; them being 'done' so that the line can move onto the next character stops it feeling like it's getting bogged down by going back to them as happened with the Masterpieces

Athena: Dad, when will you learn - every time you reveal one of your demigod kids you end up having to protect them from your wife

Zeus: Well it's like I always say; a child should be seen and not Hera'd

Athena: ...get out

ZEUS: You know, I don't think I like Pan
HERMES: Why not?
ZEUS: He keeps using humour to make me look ridiculous
HERMES: Oh, that's just satyr
ZEUS: ...get out

It's incredible that this finally exists 😭😭😭

It genuinely feels like an era-specific piece of design in the way that a modern pastiche wouldn't have been able to capture

WHO THE HECK IS HITTING UP MY WISHLIST IN OCTOBER???

(seriously, which of you was it - there's no note attached and I would very much like to thank you, whoever you are)

The thing about being moderately online is that I only ever learn about YouTubers when they do something unbelievably heinous; whenever I look they always have 50 million subscribers and thousands of comments saying "noooo not Squigglyfloop, he was my entire childhood" and I'm like
