This arrived yesterday, and I started watching it, so as a fun project, I thought it'd be interesting to do a small review of each episode as I watch them in order, since I've never seen all of them, and never in order!

I'll update this thread as I go.

Hopefully not a 5 year mission! #StarTrek
What a great poster.
I lied, looks like I’m watching Stalker (1979), courtesy of Mosfilm on YouTube. Likely won’t finish tonight as it’s a 3 hour long movie and I work in the morning. But until then we’re getting Tark’d 📽️

Watching the biggest box office success of Sam Peckinpah’s career… 1978’s CONVOY, starring Kris Kistofferson, Ernest Borgnine, Ali McGraw and Burt Young.

Does the Riddler follow me and can help my boy, by any chance?
Running my first in-person D&D game since the pandemic tomorrow. I need a few puzzle or riddle ideas for the dungeon. Give me something fun!

Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”

He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.

(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)

If something is against AI ToS, shouldn’t they be able to program it to not do that? And if they can’t, why are they making it so accessible to people who can apparently “misuse” it

ARROW Video is doing a rather luscious release of John Boorman's flawed masterpiece EXCALIBUR, and I will be getting this first day.

FUCK.

This looks GREAT.

DC has been giving me straight FIRE since REBIRTH.

They still feel like they LOVE comics, in a way that I just don't get from a lot of Marvel's output lately.
And now for the 2nd #Arcadia book to release this week!

I was sold just on the three heroes gracing the cover, but was blown away by @gabrielhardman.bsky.social’s slick noir styling as we follow our heroes on a mystery at the ends of the Earth.

Don’t miss this one!

He's not even trying any more.

His backers have their agenda; a Pure White America, and they dumped an untold amount of money into putting him into the position of selling that to the people, and the best he has to offer is, "They're ripping us off" as his justification for EVERYTHING.
TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.

REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?

TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

HAPPY GAMERA DAY! 60th anniversary!!! The first Gamera movie, directed by Noriaki Yuasa, came out on this day in 1965.

Ryoko is still Best Girl to me out of all anime.

No one has ever surpassed her.
Ryoko is one of my OG favorites. So glad I got the opportunity to draw her for a fellow Tenchi fan.

Y'all really made me feel welcomed at ColossalconNorth!

I'm glad for my anime DVD/blu-ray collection.

I wish I had been able to keep up with it, but they're prohibitively expensive for new releases now, and they never go down in price. I think I got up to like season 4 of MY HERO ACADEMIA and the penultimate season of ATTACK ON TITAN before bowing out.
It's time for some Dunbine rewatching. The trailer on this are fun- Mospeada and Saint Seiya!

I really dig the aesthetic of this show. I'd have MAD fucked with this had it been on one of the 3 channels I got as a kid. ;___;

It's basically JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS meets ARCHIE or KATY KEENE.

As much as I love BATTLE ROYALE, it does not own the Post-Apocalypse Survival Game mechanic, and THE HUNGER GAMES deviates SIGNIF7CANTLY in tone and aesthetic.

Is it DERIVATIVE? Potentially...but where is the line between derivative and rip-off? I fail to see it in this instance.
Quentin Tarantino bashes ‘The Hunger Games’ for “ripping off” ‘Battle Royale’ on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast:

“I do not understand how the Japanese writer didn’t sue Suzanne Collins for every f***ing thing she owns.”

The concept of him flying never comes up before this.

There is never any "maybe his ears are so big he could fly!" at the beginning of the movie.

It only happens at the very end because he somehow ended up in a tree after a late night bender with a mouse and they're like "how'd he get up here?"
Yo I just watched Dumbo and all the flying stuff only happens in the last 10 minutes!

Gets the feather > flies with it > loses the feather > flies anyway > end of movie

10 minutes!

I thought it was like half the movie at least! wtf
