I wish I could go back to the 90’s, where everyone simply agreed that Halloween as a theme was appropriate all year long.

I was on board with the second “pick it up, now” from Chappell Roan’s Red Wine Supernova, but I can’t condone picking it up a third time as requested.

I don't think people understand how hard it is to work in the video-game industry right now. If you've been laid off, it can take months if not years to find new work. If you haven't been laid off, you're anxious that you will be laid off. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

It Sucks to Work in the Video-Game Industry Right Now

Even developers who successfully release big hits, like Fortnite and Battlefield, are losing their jobs

actually unreal how funny this image is

a two-panel image comprised of edited stills from Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man film.

in the first panel, The Green Goblin is lifting J. Jonah Jameson by the throat, while the newsman desperately says, “It’s a PNG, I swear!”

in the second panel, a close-up of The Green Goblin reveals that he’s wearing a jpeg of a hat with a fake checkered ‘transparent’ background behind it, and shouting, “You’re lying!”

I would love for a consumer-based label to exist that better describes (on a scale of 1-5) how much a pasta sauce tastes like Chef Boyardee.

For the 4K release of The Addams Family (1991), the full Mamushka performance was restored, solidifying Raul Julia as one of the most talented and captivating working actors at the time. Absolutely love this film and this scene.
