Deserts. Give us mutated plant life.

“Ahoy hoy” should have caught on dammit
Studio mucked this one up. It wasn’t available for screenings until the last minute. If it had screened earlier with local groups, she would have had the momentum to be nominated.
Man I love that Metallica/U2 mash he did.

If a movie doesn't work, it doesn't work, and you can be honest about that without being mean. Snark is the critic's self-pat-on-the-back. "I'm so clever, look at me." I've been guilty of it.
Love and cruelty can be transferred, and you should be careful what you choose to put out in the world.
I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.
We're talking about Brown Lanterns, Green Babies, and Marc Singer's walk on this week's Across the Omniverse as we dig into V: THE FINAL BATTLE part 2!

I try not to quote-post stuff that pisses me off, but today is testing me.
From here on out you should title any Chalamet articles “He Is The Mahdi”
Hey, if dey vill not listen, den to hell vith dem!
Also, if you're doing an Arnold return to PREDATOR, the movie needs to be him escaping from an intergalactic zoo with Demolition Man (played by Stallone) and Timecop (played by Van Damme).
Yeah, you read right.
I want this as much as anybody, but articles like this feel like wishes thrown into a fountain. We'll see. Arnold ain't young.

I love that they went with the KRULL Cyclops version too.
Just gimme it. Gimme something to enjoy before The Great Suck-pression hits.
You think for one second I’m going to think Radiohead support TFG? C’mon. I’ve listened to those songs. Just sue the shit out of them.
Musicians really don’t need to issue a press release telling politicians to stop using their music. It’s obvious that the politicians want the free media. I know they want their listeners to know where they stand, but the fans know, if they’re really fans. Just sue ‘em.
It just never took. I went to Catholic school, and the services bored me, and I questioned all of it. Then my dad died, and it didn't do anything for me.
6000 SUX, an American tradition.
The PREDATOR-themed bar is connected to a pizza place that is themed around the subconscious of @alancerny.bsky.social. The ‘80s theme was legit - down to the fact that they serve their pizza on styrofoam plates. Remember when we didn’t care about the environment? Darkside Brick Oven Pizza does.

And if STAR TREK ends, it ends. Same with STAR WARS. New stories, new sagas, new adventures. I’m 56 years old. I had my time with my stories. Let others get their turn.
Thing is, the actors they’ve cast as the fledgling Enterprise are kinda perfect. Paul Wesley and Ethan Peck especially. They are a GREAT Kirk and Spock. No one wants to hear this, but if they reboot STAR TREK - fuck it, with these actors, I’m fine with it. Bring it on. All things change.
Finished STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 3. A bit inconsistent compared to the other two but it has some pretty great high points. The episode where Kirk captains the Farragut with the beginnings of his Enterprise crew - definitely a high point.
Come quietly, or there will be trouble.
Hah love it
