Extended cuts are old, but this specific franchise re-release hype building model is a new permutation

100

Disney already kept certain scenes of the Endgame re-release to only premium formats which is absolutely insane

010

Alternate cuts with additional footage are not a new thing. This specific franchise re-release model with this quick a turnaround designed to feed brand loyalty is.

011

Only a matter of time before execs start to push to cut scenes out specifically to reinsert for a second box office run, or to shoot extra cameos only ever intended for a subsequent money grab.

“He needs to be eating worms” is maybe the funniest quote the Times has ever published.

You shouldn't post lies. No one is talking about this outside of your group chat.

Taylor Lorenz pulling a "Why I'm Leaving the Left" is perhaps the most predictable thing ever to have occurred, narrowly edging out "housecat slowly pushes cup off edge of table"

Seems like it should be part of the "are phones ruining the kids" debate that every marker of teen mental health has improved since 2021 www.cdc.gov/yrbs/youth-h...

Jake Tapper (moderating the 2028 Dem primary debate): Final question. Do you renounce the Western Massachusetts lesbian bar? Pete Buttigieg: I renounce it. Kamala: I renounce it. AOC: I renounce it. Gavin Newsom: I will be deploying the National Guard to Greenfield on day one of my administration.

Seen at the airport. We live in a nationalist propaganda hellscape and it's all slop

Britain being unable to make Doctor Who and the U.S. being unable to make more Muppet Show feels like the same problem

The cast was great, but I felt like the show was clunky to a point that got in the way of me feeling what they were bringing to it.

They did get to the end but I think that being all you remember says it all

Oh my God Percy Jackson is SO boring. At least the Avatar one is making decisive and interesting choices even if rarely well.

Between that and some truly superb casting I was so hyped going into that first episode and then pretty much immediately bored

One day I will get over my disappointment with how sterile and dull the HBO/Bad Wolf His Dark Materials was for long enough to finish it but till then I'll at least treasure it having my single favorite title sequence in the past decade

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

i pledge my sword to the politician who just says: let’s leave trans people alone, i don’t know or care what a hasan piker is, and i condemn the genocide in gaza. stop hiring consultants that make you say weird stuff that nobody likes.

Once again proof that the "undecided voter" is an illiterate idiot the press should stop fucking credulously interviewing as the average voice of the people

NBC NEWS: One poll respondent – Aidan Valenzuela, a 19-year-old Texan who doesn't affiliate with either party – told NBC News that he hasn't plugge d into the election yet and is still unsure whom he'll vote for. But he said his father grew up during the Cold War and that he's wary of Democrats who describe themselves as democratic socialists.

"Any relation toward socialism or communism in general gives me the ick. It's like a buzzword that generally just makes me not want to sway in that direction," he said.

A bunch of fans are mad that it's not a direct adaptation of the games starring games characters and is instead a side story about a new character so they've decided Cregger is disdainful of the series and so on. They're like legitimately angry. Actual hate campaign. They've not seen the movie.

The Resident Evil backlash is so fucking baffling to me why are nerds this stupid

There's a lot of grim and fucked up shit. But it's really fun about it.

Kevin @scribblesscript.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Cregger's Resident Evil might just be the funniest movie of the year. Relentlessly nasty but in a jolly crowd-pleasing way. And not just with a deep love of horror and horror games, but of deeply stupid horror movie protagonists who excel at making terrible decisions in a way we all sadly might.

bleak but essential read

Navarro told us that she was "shocked to see the growing number of websites in the network and the huge variety of the sites themselves - from cooking and space blogs, to small business and war news." What surprised her the most, though, was how so many of the sites under BBM's umbrella are effectively
"indistinguishable from one another, publishing the same kind of first-person Al-generated stories around self-help topics aimed at people who are lonely."

Hell, put more of it in Legend of Ruby Sunday, some reveals would help fill the slack dead space.

It's a total muddle. He needed to take a moment and just explain his intentions in Empire more clearly, whatever they were - and I suspect I'm probably on the right track with that. It just doesn't come together.

120

I think you can just about see what Russell's probably doing with all this. The Doctor keeps saying this shouldn't be prodded or things would get fucked up, and then Sutekh blunders in and does.

020

That... would have been a lot tidier, yes. But then you lose the point of Doctor Who defeating a monster by baiting him about being too curious about a mystery that isn't really a mystery, which is clearly what Russell wanted to get at.

220

Something about Sutekh breaking stuff by crossing the time stream and fixating on her origins innit

120

I think it's a consequence of RTD not being a very plotty or sci-fi writer and putting down a bunch of vibes to drum up mystery without a strong mechanical reason for it.

030

I think Who is always free to comment on other genres without them being tropes in itself. Who is rarely about itself. I don't think it fully works, but that's more from stuff like "hey the snow is a great image Russell but what do we mean by it"

260

I get that the plot mechanics are absolute gubbins but, bear with me y'all... every Russell Who arc is nonsense sci-fi plot mechanics, they just live or die on whether the emotions hit.
