Star Wars. Superheroes. Pizza.
Honestly, I’m not sure. The two major arcs of post-ROTJ continuity before the sequels were both about extra-galactic invaders (the Nagai in Marvel Comics, the Yuzhaan Vong in the novels) and I feel we’re headed that way a bit with #Ahsoka. But post-TROS? Don’t see anything past that. 1/
Discussion: What are you looking for in terms of the next BIG BAD of the post Rise of Skywalker Galaxy?

I just heard someone refer to Boba Fett’s ship as “Opportunity Intern 1”, and I’m dead.

@profanity.accountant How much fucking profanity do I fucking use?

Saw a post with quotes disabled saying Larry Hama had his finger on the pulse of things when he wrote Cobra Commander's origin being a used car salesman. I just wanted to add that the *real* trick was how he started Cobra as an MLM.

Given that the first movie didn't use it, "clock tick" was really obvious and a little grating in #WickedForGood.

The Clock of the Time Dragon is from the book #Wicked, but it's literally just stage dressing in the musical and it appears *not at all* in this movie. So why the sudden use of it?

Not sure how many of my quibbles with #WickedForGood are from the movie or inherent in the musical, but while I loved #Wicked, I only mostly like the second half. I mean, it was always going to be weaker musically, "For Good" aside. But I figured with the expanded run time they would have... 1/

They told us you could fit 83 bear cubs inside the Smokey the Bear balloon but couldn’t bother to tell us how many Gummi Bears you could fit in the Haribo balloon? Pfah! What do they pay you for, Hoda.

The Shrek float doesn’t so much look like Shrek poking his head out of a pumpkins coach as Shrek doing some inflation porn.

I take it back, but now I worry that Derek may be the Bob/Alexei/Eddie. #StrangerThings
I hope Derek gets eaten. I didn’t think there was anyone in this show I could like less than Ted Wheeler but… well, as this show would say, repeatedly, “Goddamn.” #StrangerThings

Oh my god, that goldfish float. Love it.

Busta Rhymes looks like a Tracy Morgan character. But he’s still got it.

I’m thankful for my daughter who never gives up and keeps trying and somehow still loves me despite how angry and impatient I can get sometimes. Love you, Bug.
If you see this turkey, repost what you’re thankful for!

I’m thankful for my family, for the house we live in, all our belongings, and the love we give to each other 💖

Happy Thanksgiving!!

You know what’s an appropriate song for one of the major “whole family” television events of the year?

A song about gaslighting your girlfriend because you’re a cheating piece of shit.

Still hate that song after all these years. Why was Shaggy on a parade float again? Not like he has anything new.

Did they deliberately give Linda Hamilton the same hairdo as Matthew Modine? #StrangerThings

I am *so* glad they decided to basically keep the plot on two tracks at a time this season, except for minor parts of Chapter 4. #StrangerThings
November 27, 2025 at 6:58 PM
Okay, I know tapes are as old as Methusaleh, but I’d expect the Duffer Brothers to know *they had two sides*. And you could record on both sides! And if you recorded the same song over and over on both sides you could have an almost constant loop! Without wasting time on rewinding! #StrangerThings

I’m coming off obsessed, but for all the (at this point unfunny) jokes about how the kids are too old, it’s the same actors playing the same characters and they’re hardly the first 20-something high schoolers.

But why *recast* Holly and go with someone twice the character’s age? #StrangerThings
Finally broke down and looked up info on Nell Fisher, the new Holly.

This character is supposed to be 7. And I know that Chrissy Seaver and Andy Keaton went from 1 to 5 between seasons, and that Finn and Millie and everyone else are “too old”. But why recast with a *14* year old? #StrangerThings

Cars coming from off screen and sending someone cartwheeling through the air will never not be funny. It was true in “Meet Joe Black” and it’s true in #StrangerThings. No matter how horrifying the situation, I will bark-laugh every time.

She’s Little Red Riding Hood *AND* Indiana Jones? That’s a combo. #StrangerThings

“And I. told you. To eat your god damn pie!”

Not gonna lie, Erica has been my favorite character since she became a character and not just “Lucas’s little sister”. #StrangerThings

Mr. Whatsit looks like Eleven wearing Ten’s clothes. #DoctorWho #StrangerThings

There are times Maya Hawke looks like a clone of her mother. #StrangerThings

A recurring thing across all four seasons that I have never quite been able to let go of is how these kids - and now this whole damned group - speak openly and uncoded over radios and the Feds/cops/Army never catch on? #StrangerThings
