Feels like we skip a lot of necessary character development from both Clark and Mary to the point that it's jarring. Fantastic production design and score, but it felt like there was too much missing with the characters. Loved everything about the #Backrooms itself, just not the people in it.

Now Watching #Backrooms (2026) Dir. Kane Parsons Honestly, if this is even half as good as Kane's Found Footage #3, I'm going to be satisfied. But I *am* curious to see why it appears to be so divisive among some people online.

Yeah, the plot of this didn't feel like it justified itself being a movie, it certainly had the pacing of a show stitched together. It also felt like Jeremy White was putting in any effort, while I questioned why Sigourney Weaver was even in this.

Wow, I actually think I liked #FantasticFour more than SUPERMAN. Great and authentic retro sci-fi setting, staggering scale, believable chemistry, and genuine tension. Everyone was adapted amazingly well, but I do feel like Ben got the short end of the stick.

Very much enjoyed #Superman despite its understandable flaws (rapid pacing, tonal shifts, comedy), while others I heard felt slightly exaggerated. But I think I'm the kind of person that can forgive a lot if I love the characters and the cast enough. Good, fun start to the DCU.

I still don't understand why making a good JURASSIC PARK sequel is so hard.

List of JURASSIC PARK movies ranked from best to worst.

1. Jurassic Park
2. Jurassic Park: The Lost World
3. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
4. Jurassic World Rebirth
5. Jurassic Park 3
6. Jurassic World
7. Jurassic World Dominion

Pierre Chanliau @pierrechanliau.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Poorly paced, thin characters, reheated set pieces, and underutilized dino-muties make JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH another dud of a sequel. But, hey, it was better than DOMINION, so it at least passed that ant hill of a hurdle.

I love how Kamala Khan is inexplicably in her classic Ms. Marvel costume at the beginning of GIANT-SIZE DARK PHOENIX SAGA #1, despite falling into the bushes still wearing that terrible X-Men outfit in GIANT SIZE X-MEN. I'm incredibly thankful, but the abrupt change is still *very* funny.

Panels from GIANT SIZE X-MEN (2025) Issue #1.

In the first panel, Kamala Khan falls from the sky and into some bushes, still in her X-Men outfit.

In the second panel, she peeks out of the bushes and says to herself, "Happened again. Okay. Crazy. But I'm still not dead. Guess Legion's stuck with me..."

Panels from GIANT SIZE DARK PHEONIX SAGA (2025) Issue #1.

In the first panel, Kamala Khan emerges from the bushes, no longer wearing her X-Men costume but her original Ms. Marvel costume, and says to herself, "Right. Okay. New time. New problems. Out of the frying pan..."

In the second panel, it's a close-up on Kamala's face. Determined, she says, "...And into the Phoenix."

I enjoyed BALLERINA fine enough, but the second half felt like a completely different movie (in a good way.) Great action doesn't completely make up for what has to be the sloppiest script in the franchise.

I love how, in PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS, the first two titular hunters let their prey hash out their revenge quests, but then the third one is just, "Fish in a barrel, babbbby!"

A delightful anthology with great kills, action, and some endearing characters. The Viking story had to be my favorite. Putting the Predator into different time periods and genres has always been the way to go for the franchise, and hopefully, that continues into live action.

It's really so frustrating how the #LiloAndStitch remake is far more immature, patronizing, and shallow than the original. The pacing also ranged from blinding fast (they could *not* wait to get the expensive CGI scenes over with) to unbearably sluggish.

Absolutely *loved* this reference to Francisco Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Son" in writer @gerryduggan.bsky.social and artist Danny Kim's WEST COAST AVENGERS issue #7.

Panel from WEST COAST AVENGERS issue #7.

Jessica Drew and her civilian friend stumble upon a blackened Ultron literally devouring another Ultron, the leader of the Reunification Church.

The pose clearly references Francisco Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son as inspiration.

The Black Ultron speaks, addressing them, "I am almost done reunifying this 'church.'" Followed by mocking laughter, "Ha ha ha!"

Pretty solid. Wished it did a little more with Taskmaster and Yelena's connection, the #Thunderbolts name gag felt tacked on, and Ghost was underwritten. Otherwise, fun team-up movie that managed to tug at my heart a bit in the final act.

What I'm looking forward to most in the next episode of #Invincible is when Conquest stops Mark from surrendering or trying to negotiate. Feel like it's an underrated part of the fight, and I can just imagine Morgan killing the delivery of, "I'm having the time of my life!"

Panels from INVINCIBLE comic, issue #62.

Panel 1: Conquest is about to ram into Mark, but he's holding a pleading hand out, "Stop!"

Panel 2: Mark, his hand still extended, face bloody and bruised, says, "Listen to me--just listen."

Panel 3: A close-up of Conquest's face, grinning, "Are you crazy?"

Pnael 4: Conquest drives Mark into the ground with a big GOOM! onamonapia, telling Mark, "You think I'm going to give you a chance to surrender so that I have to stop? Have I given you any indication that I want to quit? I'm having the time of my life! Come on--keep going! When I'm done with you I'm going to kill everyone else--don't forget that! You're all that stands between me and these feeble beings you've grown to love."

It's still insane that an adaptation of THE ELECTRIC STATE will completely omit some of the book's most iconic imagery, including the clear horror-tinged tone throughout the story and setting. It's frustrating that we won't get a movie depicting a somber road trip across a slowly dying USA.

Artwork from Simon Stålenhag's THE ELECTRIC STATE showing a man in an empty parking lot at night, standing in front of a VR kiosk machine. One is on his head, but his mouth is agape, back bowed to the sky as a fluorescent light shines on him.

Artwork from Simon Stålenhag's THE ELECTRIC STATE shows a highway in daylight. Two billboards show a pair of eyes with ominous red, square pupils—an advertisement for SENTRE.

Artwork from Simon Stålenhag's THE ELECTRIC STATE shows a perspective from inside a car on a busy highway in the evening. It's raining and in the distance off the road is a giant tower glowing red.

Artwork from Simon Stålenhag's THE ELECTRIC STATE shows a giant robot, a mascot, hollowed out by almost organic wires that have spilled from its innards. Below it is a mob of people, their VR sets affixed to their heads, glowing an ominous red.

The robot's many wires engulf a minivan, its blickers still on, passages inside.

Sadly, I walk away from #WolfMan disappointed after such a heart pounding opening. The metaphor gets over-explained, then muddied, before it devolves into unfun schlock. It also has some wonky writing, especially the daughter-character.

#NowWatching: #WolfMan (2025) Dir. Leigh Whannell Man, I've been seeing such mixed reactions from critics I follow, so I'm really curious how I'm going to feel walking out of this. I greatly enjoyed Whannell's THE INVISIBLE MAN, so here's hoping.

Scene from "WOLF MAN" shows Christopher Abbott's Blake slouching against a wall, sickly looking, while Julia Garner's Charlotte, his wife, is kneeling next to him concerned. Still standing is their child, Matilda Firth's Ginger.

One line from ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #1 got me curious, and I remembered us seeing a similar Adamantium-coated skeleton in the FREE COMICBOOK DAY issue last year. Wonder how many "failures" there have been in this universe and whether we'll see 'em in the flesh. #XSpoilers

Panel excerpt from ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #1.

COLOSSUS: "So...what can we do with this?"

DR. PROSTOVICH: "We have attempted skeletal enhancement before, as you know."

COLOSSUS: "Yes...I recall your last failure. And we cannot permit another such failure, Dr. Prostovich."

Panel excerpt from FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2024.

Steve Rogers is standing before a display with a skeleton coated in Adamantium. The plaque under it reads, "Weapon," with the rest illegible off-panel.

The thing I love about Jod is that he is a great example of what a capitalistic world does to a man. He was born starving, stayed hungry, and sought any means to claim credits because that’s the only thing of value in the galaxy. He’s not a villain, he’s just a dude trying to survive. #SkeletonCrew

Yup, that #SkeletonCrew finale solidified Jod as one of the best new #StarWars characters in the last decade. I enjoyed this series far more than I expected, but I understand why it underperformed in viewership. Maybe it should've focused on him instead of the children? (Still loved the kids!)

Seriously such a testament to the suspense, tension, and build up to the "What's in the box?!" scene for it to still hit so hard despite being so overexposed online. So happy I forgot the majority of this movie. It was (almost) like seeing it for the first time.

It’s not lost on me that two of the defining “feminist” creators in the contemporary geek space, Whedon and Gaiman, turned out to be sadistic, reprehensible, manipulative serial abusers. Whether it was a mask to put women at ease or they were changed by power/fame, it’s sickening.
