A movie I'd been meaning to watch for a long time...

A ★★★★ review of Blue Ruin (2013)
Fantastic, compelling, tense, and, I mean this as the best possible compliment, has you frequently wondering what a worse version of this same story would look like. Then you realize you don't have to...

I feel like "in these dire times we really need..." is often overstated. But in this case I cannot possibly wear out the sentiment of how happy this entire project has made me.

"Moses, move the bike."

Though this is in context... when there's a sexy shenanigans on the screen I go "Saaaaaaay!" in Tom Servo's voice.
Does anyone else have an MST3K line they use regularly, even if it makes no sense out of context?

Because I have both "That'll keep your panfish down for a while." and "Come come, boys, we must confound Jerry at every turn!" from MST3K the movie alone.

Americans can be dumb, but not so dumb as to not recognize all those AI ads during the Super Bowl were a direct threat to their existence.

"If a person can just ask AI to do their job, then their boss can just ask AI to do their job, and ten other jobs... hey, wait a minute, that's not good."

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

I don't believe the young people will save us, as some kind of blanket statement on the perceived values of an entire generation. There are plenty of 20 year-old Nazis.

But I do believe that the people who save us will be young. Time for us elderly to step aside. It's not our world anymore.

Just finished playing Dragon Quest Builders. It takes place in an alternate timeline where the hero of the first game failed and took the Dragon Lord's offer to rule the world.

The message at the end is "You didn't help people because you're a hero. You're a hero because you helped people."

The correct answer is "Petey Wheatstraw" (1977). Not an ironic favorite. It's not "so bad it's good". The movie knows exactly what it is and is proud of it.

When people say "they aren't making good, original, movies anymore" tell them they're wrong, because these folks are doing exactly that.

I'm so excited for this.

Early D&D was built for dungeon parties, not armies.

My new video looks at what D&D’s mass combat rules were actually trying to solve, why they rarely landed at the table, and what they reveal about the game’s early growing pains.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.
