I always think of this meme
A meme of a chart, top row are male versions of fantasy creatures (orc, troll, and demon) which are all large and scary looking. On the bottom row is a female version, all the same attractive woman in a bikini but tinted green, gray, and red.

The Bride and Doctor Frankenstein in James Gunn's Creature Commandos would fit here. So would Gamora and Star-Lord, that's more of "normal attractive woman in body paint" than monster.

Instead of #SelfPortraitSunday, can we do #SpousePortraitSunday where you post pictures taken by your significant other of you taking pictures, have a lot more of those. 😆 #photography 📸 #humansofbluesky #EastCoastKin

Honestly loved Tunnel Rat's design from GI Joe. The bandana, body paint, bandoleer, gear pouches, and unnecessary M60. Overindulgent utilitarian, which would come back into style with all the pouches in 90s comics.
The GI Joe action figure Tunnel Rat and all his gear.

Good morning #BlueSkyArtShow creators & visitors.

Here is probably the most abundant #small item in the Green Mountains, pine needles.

What's it mean when the Rambo movie has the lowest body count and the highest rating?

I'm not great at catching birds, got a few ok shots while in the Green Mountains.

The Long Walk (2025)
Another (unfortunately relevant) story about the use of the desperately poor to entertain or motivate the public. Simple & direct, solidly paced, stand out performance by David Jonsson, & under 2 hrs. Recommended if you like depressing endings. #filmsky #moviesky 🎬 📽️ 🎥

Home with back issues so I'm finally watching Silo season 2.

I loved season 1, great acting, story, and setting. Rebecca Ferguson is phenomenal. High hopes for season 2.

I think Edge of Tomorrow is a fine title is describes the movie better than All You Need Is Kill.

Watching The Witcher season 4 and Geralt is supposed to be annoyed and frustrated about his new found emotions, but Liam Hemsworth cannot seem to properly express, I keep getting more bemused from him.

Maybe his default demeanor is too friendly for the character. #tvsky 📺
