Every album has no skips if you have enough willpower.

Here's a headcanon you can try on for size: Kaufmo was a failed stand-up comic. #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TADC

Yeah, that sounds like something he'd do.

People on one of the U2 boards are glitching out at a song from the band's upcoming album being compared in the press to both City of Blinding Lights and Get Out of Your Own Way. And, I mean...whatever you think of the QUALITY of those two songs, they're both clearly of the same TYPE.

You ever look through your watchlist and see something and think to yourself "what is this and how did it get here?"

I don't have an HBO Max subscription, so I can't watch Lanterns, but I kept seeing discourse about it. So I decided to watch the nearest Green Lantern thing I had instead, which was Green Lantern: First Flight. It was OK.

I feel like one extremely obvious problem with doing a "Top (number) TV Shows" list is that people don't watch international TV nearly as much as they watch international cinema.

"Whoever I am" is interesting. Does Gwen have some kind of memory issue? Or has she been prevented from forming a real identity of her own (due to spending her entire life being Olivia's posession)?

Hey, just think - now Batman can cross over with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Does anybody know why the "Home" and "End" keys don't work in bluesky's search bar?

This seems like an unpopular opinion, but I think the finale is by far the best episode of the show. #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TADC

I don't know if it's just on Twitter or what, but the reception to Lindsay Ellis's new video seems to be somewhat different from the reception to Jenny Nicholson's video about the Star Wars hotel, which is...interesting.

I imagine Digital Circus stuff is going to slow down for a while.

Two years ago, Drake was beefing with fellow rappers, now he's beefing with voice actors from internet cartoons. And apparently still losing.

A mildly annoying thing about letterboxd is how every time you go to see what lists a movie is on, it always starts with the same 50 or so that are "Every Movie Ever Made", "The Top 500 movies ranked", "Most Popular Movies," etc. Every single time.

Does being in a cave count as being outdoors or indoors?

They gave Caine a neck and it's really weird.

Apparently there was a point when they weren't sure Roger Moore would come back for For Your Eyes Only and that kind of tracks - it definitely feels like it's meant to be the first movie of a new Bond actor.

Carnival of Light is supposed to have been sampled in Revolution 9, right? Has anyone ever tried going through all of the samples in Revolution 9 to determine what might have been from Carnival of Light?

I hope the Murder Drones blu-ray doesn't just re-use the subtitles from the YouTube uploads, because they're, uh, kind of flawed in places.

(500) Days of The Gaslight District.

A tweet from twitter account Cartoon Base reading "‘THE GASLIGHT DISTRICT’ pilot released 500 days ago on YouTube.

Season 1 is currently in the works," accompaied by two images of characters from that show.

Assuming reversing abstractions is possible - wouldn't Kaufmo's case specifically be kinda problematic? Because you'd have to tell him about the brain scans thing, right? Given what led to his abstraction, I don't think he'd take it well. #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TADC

I would like to submit to you that yes, they do, in fact, age in the Circus - I believe that "they don't age in the Circus" doesn't make sense. Like, at a conceptual level. 🧵 #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TADC

Is it just me, or is there a recent trend of using analog horror as a medium to reinterpret pop culture? There's the Steven Universe one that recently went viral on Twitter, of course, but I've also seen ones for Superman, The Owl House, and The Terminator. I'm not opposed to it, mind you.

Anybody around here ever watch The Fairly OddParents? Since The Amazing Digital Circus is (kind of) set in St. Louis, I saw an opportunity. #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TADC

Four screencaps from Episode 7 of The Amazing Digital Circus in a grid. with added captions.

In the first screencap, Jax runs, panicked, toward the camera. The caption reads "I ain’t never going back in there! It’s Missouri in there!"

In the second screencap, Jax has pressed the red button, while everyone looks in in shock.

In the third screencap, Jax seems more aware. Everyone continues to look on in shock. Ragatha is speaking. The caption reads, "What did you just do?"

In the fourth screencap, Jax has turned back to the camera. The cvaption reads, "As we say in Missouri, 'I ain’t going back to Missouri.'"

I guess it's because The Gaslight District and Knights of Guinevere still aren't ready and they need to make sure people are still paying attention, so they're throwing together any Digital Circus thing they can to tide us over while we wait.

Misread this as "raising its monthly subscription price FROM $2 to $14.99." I'm not sure if they could get away with that.

Fun fact: the longest movie in the James Bond series and the shortest one both star Daniel Craig.

I like to think I'm at least decent at intuiting the meaning of new slang I encounter but I gotta be honest, I cannot for the life of me figure out what the phrase "quirk chungus" is actually meant to refer to. At least "six seven" seemed like it was SUPPOSED to be meaningless.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service might be the most 60s of all the James Bond movies.

Pomni - slightly cringe but earnest, able to find peace, lives. Jax - irony-poisoned, unable to find peace, dies. #TheAmazingDigitalCircus #TADC

Screencap from Episode 6 of The Amazing Digital Circus. Pomni and Jax are in the hallway, in front of the door to Jax's room. Pomni hammily laughs like a cartoon villain, while Jax looks at her, amused.

The problem with doing any kind of "worst movies/books/anime/albums/whatever of all time" list is that the ACTUAL worst one of those things is usually something deservedly VERY obscure. What those lists are ACTUALY about isn't quality, but infamy.

I'm starting to think the "cinematic universe" is something that was only ever going to be done successfully once.

John Talx About @johntalxabout.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I know it's their most popular show, but I wonder if Glitch isn't stretching out the Digital Circus hype as long as they can because The Gaslight District and Knights of Guinivere are still some distance from having anything releasable yet.

Started rewatching Puella Magi Madoka Magica last night and - man, I forgot how WEIRD the visuals in this show got sometimes.

John Talx About @johntalxabout.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

They seemed to be letting Ragatha and Kinger (so, really, just Ragatha) do all the heavy lifting in this scene in the episode - I wonder if they sat this part of the adventure (or maybe the adventure as a whole) out 'cause Jax was freaked out by the giant shrimp?

I saw the Miramax version of The Thief and the Cobbler the other day, and watched the "Princess and the Cobbler" version yesterday. Haven't seen the "real" version (Recobbled and/or workprint) yet - decided to work my way up to it. [1/3]

The second Wicked movie is on Netflix but not, it appears, the first one. Someone's gonna have to explain that one to me.
