I was going to say: if you’re interested in becoming a Chris Benoit fan, now’s the time. Dude can’t gut you now.

The secret is to already know that your favourite artist is a terrible person: that way, they can never disappoint.

At the start, Dr Shiragami explains his plan to merge Godzilla cells with wheat and cactus to make a wheat that can flourish in the desert, thus challenging America’s dominance in cereal production. Later, the same scientist casually mentions collecting Nobel-prize winner’s semen.

Time Travellers almost made my list. I love that era of SF films as grist for the MST3K mill. Plus, it has an Elliott Kalan cameo.

Fittingly, I burnt through “The Gauntlet” too quickly, and didn’t fully appreciate Killer Fish the first time. Jonah mentioned it being one of his favourites, and we rewatched and I realized how funny it was. The Day Time Ended obviously has the “Concepts” song, but the whole thing is a blast.

Kind of amazing how Bob Dylan’s “Hurricane” is like a true crime podcast in verse and set to music.

So if your calorie burn is based on your heart rate, then a heart attack must be a hell of a workout.

I only heard disparaging things about THE ACOLYTE. I’m four episodes in, and the acting is janky and the dialogue is bad, but so far the story is more interesting than most SW.

What I love about the invented male hierarchy is that every dude who wants to believe this stuff thinks they’re an alpha, but realizes that they have no friends or inferiors, so they had to invent the sigma male to feel good about themselves.

It drives me nuts when people say we need to make sure poor people have access to AI. The entire schtick is focused on providing AI slop to the masses while ensuring the elites get real human professionals. Having a human teacher or doctor or lawyer cannot become a bespoke luxury for the wealthy.

This movie rips. I stole it off the internet aeons ago but haven’t seen it since. It’s like if David Lynch directed a chamber play about a samurai. Hoping it gets a home video release someday soon.

Like I get that the situation is bad, but it’s wild that no one would expect this sort of thing from the Rs, even if their guy can’t form a coherent sentence and seems intent on full-on tyranny.

I’ve seen people say that they hate The Acolyte because of the terrible dialogue and the wooden acting. But are you a real SW fan if you can’t forgive terrible dialogue and wooden acting?

for me the Biden conversation is entirely about whether he can win in November. i’m not worried about whether he can actually do the job because i don’t think it’s a real job.

Honestly, it’d be terrifying right now to be any lawyer or judge involved in a Trump case. I’m sure it already was, but the SC basically giving carte blanche to the next pres has to be weighing heavily on their minds.

I may have put The New York Ripper only .5 stars ahead of the other films I watched this week, but it’s easily twice as entertaining as the rest of them.

I think it’s weird to be super fitness conscious right now. Like in the near future you’re going to be living under fascism, surrounded by droughts and firestorms, and filled to bursting with microplastics, but at least you’ll have abs.

When I was a young man I frequented wrestling message boards. Fantasy booking—explaining which wrestler you’d push, what stories you’d run, etc.—was typically frowned upon. Stick to what’s happening instead. Fantasy booking is the typical mode of American political commentary.

“Restore Roe” is a bad slogan because: 1) doesn’t mention abortion (cowardly) 2) sounds like Scooby Doo trying to say something else (confusing)
