I have seen toddlers spewed upon their parents’ shoulders.

It was with a wild mix of feelings that I realized sometime last year that, having been a fan since Scumdogs in high school, GWAR is apparently one of my very favourite bands. Even back then, no matter how excited I was about the fun music and presentation and then-remote possibility of seeing them live, it would’ve

He may sometimes blow up the power station, but he’s the candidate we’d more like to get a beer with

He also fakes his death, even to his wife, which barely warrants a mention when everything sorts itself out at the end. Arnold movie wives get a rough ride!

The jump scares are what reminded me of Derrickson. At least in Sinister when you got a jump scare, something scary jumped out. The jump scares here were mostly something already in frame moving, accompanied by a stinger sound.

Wasn’t into this one at all. Maybe people with more patience for “dream logic” will probably get more out of it, while I’m looking at FBI psychic ability tests, magic dolls, some incredibly cheap jump scares, and a lead performance that’s about as expressive as Michael Myers.

Jack Quaid has long reminded me a lot of Joshua Jackson, but never so much as now that he got Fauxlivia’d

Has Homelander shown any immunity/resistance to head-exploding bloodromancy? Clearly he’s immune to bullets and fire but good luck being immune to your own blood.

She appears to hate and resent humanity just as much, she just hasn’t implied she’ll make an exception if somebody knows how to fly. For that matter, at least it appears here that Homelander somewhat liked A-Train; I’m not sure Sage likes anybody.

Wild role for Swinton, and she managed to take a thoroughly ridiculous idea for a character, imbue it with all sorts of convincingly tragic pathos, and then have such a goddamn funny finish.

I was noting to my nephniecews that the degree to which they’ve been familiarized with songs from forty years ago is like if we grew up loving “The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Of Company B”. Stuff like that did indeed filter down to us through cartoons, but not to the point where we knew all the words or anything.

People are ignoring Lower Decks? It got five seasons and a SNW crossover that sent people into paroxysms of joy.

Manspreading: Barbarian Edition

It’s a sweet trailer, but then I thought, didn’t they all have sweet trailers?

At some point “all-star cast” came to just mean “has working actors you may have seen before somewhere”. (Miles Gutierrez-Riley has four previous screen credits.) Kinda like what happened to “supergroup”!

Maxine In Space confirmed

If you look over a list of Weinstein’s accusers, it’s absolutely loaded with nepo babies. I wonder if he specifically targeted them, or if he just creeped on every young woman who crossed his path, which happened to include a lot of nepo babies.

She’s goofing on how meaningless the term “iconic” is now, right?

“Is that a hickey?”

If O’Neal came back I’d punch out a junkie and steal his meth.
