“What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?”

He was a great lancer-type character in Carpenter’s movies and added a ton in his performances. They Live is less my cup of tea than Carpenter’s Apocalypse Trilogy, but man KD in The Thing... just wonderful.

Jumping on this comment to ask--if I’ve read and enjoyed House of X, is there another similar collection I can read to continue the Krakoan Age? I’m really not big on getting a bunch of individual issues of other comics and House of X was a great way to have it all in one place for me to read/get intro’ed on. I’ve…

What exactly is a “dad game” in this context? A game meant to be played with kids watching? A game from a dad’s childhood and/or with a matching aesthetic? A game where you press X to Jason?

Oh I didn’t even realize Sony had more than just black (I bought them as soon as they were released). That’s great to see! I’m sure third parties like dbrand have even more by now.

Just suck it up and get black plates? Seems better than waiting an entire generation because you don’t like the base color. Though I do think Sony should offer different color SKUs (or at least just white, though I could see OG grey being popular)

Since he *had* to choose, he thinks he picked the wrong one, especially since Covenant wasn’t received as well as he had hoped.

I still can’t believe they made an entire franchise based on Pokemon Snap.

Any chance of getting lists like these divided between the ones already backed by trad publishing marketing dollars and actual indie authors who could use the spotlight?

If I had a nickel for every time a trailer said “A war is coming” I’d be able to buy Twitter and make it X-rated

I was going to say Legends of Tomorrow, the best-bad show I’ve ever seen.

With a grammatical error in the first sentence of the article’s main content...

You should take your kids to Tompkins Square Park, not all that different tbh

What I like about Hades and Persephone is that their story has pretty much never been told before in fiction.

Ngl, I would take an MPCU. Can we get a movie about Stalin Succession-ing Zhukov and Konev to take Berlin first, only to rip the victory away from Konev at the last minute AND only to find out that Germany basically knew jack about nuclear weapons? Just cast Margot Robbie as Stalin and I’m set.

They... literally gave you the obvious clues to the term in the article, right before it came up. Stop looking for something to be angry about.

Oh boy, I totally forgot this was coming. I sure hope it’s good, I’d love to sink my teeth into a Chrono Trigger -esque JRPG

I’d argue that memes back then weren’t nearly as based in a “gotta get high view counts for my TikTok account” mania that dominates today. They were done by randos, anonymously, and there wasn’t such overwhelming fighting for attention. I’m sure part of it was that social media Eternal September’ed the internet again…

Portal fantasy is on the rise again in general, which makes sense with pandemic blues and other existential stressors.

Clicked through just to confirm that was indeed one of the monsters from In the Mouth of Madness. What a fantastic movie that was way ahead of its time vis-à-vis its themes of post-truth and influence of media... not to mention some super fun shlocky Lovecraftian vibes. Sam Neill is also a treasure in this, further…
