Seriously: Hate Digger all you want, but [pauses for flow of hate] movies like Digger are why we need studios. A world in which Digger doesn't get made one in which Sinners and One Battle also don't get made. You miss with Heaven's Gate and you still swung. You miss with Paw Patrol and you >

CASTLEVANIA: BELMONT’S CURSE demo: Damn, this bums me out. I LOVE Castlevania; gothic horror has always been my jam. I’ve beaten most of the games, and I’ve beaten all three Bloodstained games, which are inspired by the series.

If the argument for women should know better than to go into a rape den like a frat house, explain to me why a rape house like a fraternity is allowed to exist at all.

Honestly, I never had a problem with Navi in Ocarina of Time. She was fine. Tatl’s panicked *dinging* in Majora’s Mask was on thin ice, though.

Anyone who, in 2026, is already saying “I don’t want to vote for Newsom but I will” is part of the problem. This man is a fucking monster and has betrayed everyone imaginable. He is unacceptable in every possible way. There is no world in which this piece of shit should be trusted with power.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

These 7 men at Cornell drugged & raped a woman for hours, then called their friends to come rape her. 2 men got expelled. 5 had to write letter of apology. 0 faced any consequences. Men throughout the societal ladder are complicit. Women are not safe around men.

dont care about Ray Gunn. Storytelling is not more important than real people who got driven out of the industry by lasseter’s grossness. Also, not a fan of how a totally fictional future setting has more non-human characters than any people of color. Gonna judge hard on my peers excited about it.

Why does autocorrect absolutely hate the term “sci-fi?”

Kevin Bauer @kevin0bauer.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I was always a little uncomfortable with Zero Suit Samus’ design. I get that Nintendo wants Samus to be appealing, but it feels like they made her eye candy instead of a believably seasoned bounty hunter. The second she loses her armor, she seems oddly objectified.

Zero Suit Samus: a blonde woman wearing a skintight bodysuit with glowing high heels. Her pose is both dynamic and made to emphasize her curves. She has a long, flowing ponytail, and this is supposedly what she wears under hulking sci-fi space armor.

Samus in her power armor, circa Super Metroid. Half the suit is transparent, illustrating its inner workings along with Samus herself, who appears to be an athletic woman in a functional bodysuit.

Since Elon played himself in "IRON MAN 2," did a version of DOGE also happen in the MCU? Because if it did, in that universe he actually has a higher body count on Earth than Thanos technically. Like... he'd literally be one of the WORST villains just by the math.

Hot take: this is what Yooka Laylee either should’ve done or did with a sequel game. I get remaking the first game into and honest to god indie gem, but almost a year out from it, Replaylee feels less like an explosive rebirth and more of a flash in the pan.

My favorite take on a battle-damaged Samus, by Steve Argyle

Samus kneels on a cratered concrete floor, it’s rebar exposed, next to an equally crumbling wall. Her helmet lays beside her, its visor cracked. Her arm cannon also lays beside her, trailing smoke from its cooling barrel. Armored, she kneels, clutching her bleeding ribs. She grimaces, and her long hair hangs tangled and bloody around her. Behind her, an alien facility burns, the pulped remains of Mother Brain sag in a shattered glass tube.

Book 18 of 2026: Black Leopard Red Wolf - Marlon James I appreciated the Griot-style prose, the vividly imagined worlds, the creatures, and the combat. Wanted a little more substance from the story structure. Wish I’d been warned about the graphic rape scenes. Struggled to finish it.

Zack Snyder is a women-hating, racist, and homophobe. I was going to do a longer thread but it just isn't worth it. He represents everything wrong with Hollywood in one bite. Mediocre showrunner, bland ideas, colorless designs, and lazy writing. Basically, he is just a trashy bigot with power.

I love the hell out of the imagery of Elric, but damn if I didn’t struggle to connect with the stories. Love me a gothic loner anti-hero protagonist; think maybe the “and then” style of pulp storytelling didn’t grab me as much as I’d hoped.
