He was too hurt to walk, and he had a shotgun.

Going around him seemed the wiser choice.

It's not airborne. But if it's wet, don't touch it. Unless you want incredible things to happen.

Roland Emmerich's Stargate (1994): Ra's Pyramid/Palace ship, concept by production designer Holger Gross, art by concept designer Oliver Scholl

The painting depicts the colossal pyramid mothership of the film's villain, the alien Goa'uld Ra, landed on the desert dunes of the planet Abydos.
The setting sun bathes the scene in a warm, alien glow, emphasizing the immense scale and mysterious power of the vessel.

I want it to happen but my preference is to keep #TheExpanse form unchanged (as a live action TV series).

In the end I’ll take what we can get, though.

#TronAres just opened lower than Morbius, so it seems I am not alone.

Andy Diggle @andydiggle.bsky.social · Jul 28

I'd be excited about Tron Ares if it didn't star Jared fucking Leto. Why do they keep paying him?

I don't get Jared Leto. At all. Like I just have no reaction to his existence in a movie one way or the other even though sometimes it feels like I'm supposed to.

Is Jared Leto blackmailing everyone in Hollywood or what

Cosmic Marvel @dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social · 2d

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

I’ve discovered that watching Critical Role campaign 1 on the big telly is a great way to unwind. Just got to the eps with Felicia Day and she’s hilarious. A natural.

Sometimes when I posted images of Barbarella, people initially thought it was AI. No, no, it's a real 1968 movie. ☝️

Some cool spaceship shots.

Also, I always love when they say the title.

You wanted a mission on a strange new world.

This is a show that I like not love, which sounds negative but isn't meant that way. Just don't vibe with it like some do.

But the spaceships are always beautiful and occasionally they knock it out of the park, sometimes not even for scifi reasons like Subspace Rhapsody.

Happy to have more!

It’s amazing how little people value the credibility boost you get from simply deleting the mistake, apologizing, and blocking any self-righteous nitwits who don’t think that’s enough.
