This sounds like one of those things someone suggests ordering becuase it looks "interesting" and everyone, including them, knows it's going to be terrible, but nobody has the courage to take a stand and say no, leading to two of these sitting on a table until midnight.

My personal read on Seb's obsession with Mournninja has less to do with enjoying content and is instead the researching phase of a 20 year plan to ensure he can can give his bio-dad the negative five tombstone funeral he deserves.

The same as the above picture but I added some movie poster bells and whistles. It's now "ERNEST GOES TO HELL" and it's got a quote from Roger Ebert who calls it "RELENTLESS!"

I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.

Something that's worth noting: Do I want Homeric adaptations to employ preclassical Mycenaean armor instead of the classical stuff that almost always dominates? Of course. BUT it's important to note that, say, throwing in folks gussied up in Dendra panoplies ain't NECESSARILY accurate. 1/
An exact (if scaled-up) replica of the Dendra armor, made by the Koryvantes Association of Historical Studies:

This is true for me, actually. I publish fiction under a pen name based on my life of committing hideous crimes. I recently released a novel I cowrote with a youtube celebrity I'll call "Jim" loosley based on the death games I held on my estate last year.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

I suspect from the times point of view, beyond not caring, they want to get many of the targeted authors on thier podcasts and etc to "defend themselves" makining for fodder for guys like Brett to use and restart the cycle.

Scoop: Meta's Muse AI can make phone calls. Internally, Meta has told employees that many of these calls will be made by human beings in a call center: www.404media.co/meta-tests-m...

Meta Tests Muse AI Agent Calls That Are Actually Made By Humans in a Call Center
"This has potential for so much negative PR. It could portray us as ‘their AI is not good enough so they still need humans’ kind of coverage for this launch."

what’s this? an interview with China Miéville on Defector? that’s right

China Miéville On The “Completely Defining” Book It Took 20 Years To Write | Defector
It takes an open mind to engage with China Miéville’s work. A writer for whom the already cliched phrase “genre-bending” is even more banal, Miéville has never opposed the designation of genre writer....

That was all Sly Stallone. He shadow directed the film using Cosmatos as his proxy (which he apparently did on RAMBO II as well), and would finesse certain scenes personally, that being one of them, according to Thompson. He really wanted that spit!

Can't help but feel Sony (and publishers in general) are so used to devs and creatives staying silent about mistreatment for fear of reprisal they assumed it would apply to Kojima as well.

Boring answer is Blade Runner, but! When I like 9 I caught the last 20 mins on Sci Fi with zero knowledge, Harrison Ford walking around a leaking, abandoned hotel in total silence only for Rutger Haur's demonic hands to burst forth to shatter his fingers. Had a heart attack, but couldn't look away.

Tarzan's catalog is insane becuase, sure, there's the forgotten serials and pulps you'd expect, but his lost kingdom includes massive blockbusters like Greystoke, a movie I only know about becuase Clancy Brown talks about in a Highlander bonus feature, and still have trouble believing is real.

Played it twice, have mixed feelings, but I mean that as a compliment. You can never go home again, and while the modern tech gives (labyrinth is 10/10) it also takes (endless stairs don't work) and it also it underlines how SH2 needed its jank (the run to the elevator is eh.)

Left me feeling paranoid, bummed out and profoundly unsafe. What higher praise can you give a flick like this? In a U.S. that's clearly completely unprepared for the next pandemic, I found it far too easy to imagine myself stuck in a shitty hospital with green slime pouring out of my every orifice.
