I worked at EB Games when this came out. Had a guy come in the next day to trade it in because it was, in his exact words, "the biggest pile of shit i've ever played". I wonder about him and his sad life. SotC is a fucking masterpiece.

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.

NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei

If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Punch Drunk Love is a fave and immensely unseen. That and Reign Over Me are by and far the best Sandler movies

That always sat weird with me too! Like all of a sudden she's getting interviews and talking about how much harassment she's getting because she's a woman who made a top rated game etc. But I never saw anyone actually talking about her, and that game was... definitely not top rated

I wonder if we can get them to bring Tron Ares back to theatres like we did with Morbius...

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 7d

Who keeps casting him? Apparently, he does.

Allegedly, he attaches himself to a project as executive producer and puts up some of the budget as long as he can star in it.

Cosmic Marvel @dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social · 7d

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

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

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

I always recommend this, and even push it to people who want a good spooky movie but don't really like horror. Its a bit scary, but also in a fun/silly way. Plus its all just bad people gettin their comeuppance!

The imdb trivia page for Evil Dead Rise actually made me angry with how stupid it was. Namely someone pointing out that the title card scene by a lake has the title being reflected in the water.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

A few yards away from Schiffman, Finn Cervino of Queens was defacing a poster with a Sharpie. He included a web address for a website predicting the future of AI and wrote “This is not science fiction. This is reality.”

“We’re living in a world where you got friends that are computers — that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard,” Cervino said. “They’re destroying the world for the dumbest invention I’ve ever seen in my life.”

I mean, maybe the first 2 or 3, but the later movies got really neutered by the censors. Same with the Friday the 13th series.

A photograph of a pig with the biggest goddamn balls you've ever seen. Balls so large it has taken a shit and its just hanging out on its balls like a Frisbee stuck on the roof.
