DIGGER is purported to be a comedy, but it's not actually very funny at all. And yet it somehow also works overall and is a bit of a technical wonder to behold (unsurprisingly). I liked it.

I've been going to the movies even more than usual, which I recommend, and I keep seeing the new JUMANJI trailer. It's one of the strongest comedy vacuums I've ever seen. No matter how many people are in the theater, the silence is just crushing.

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 >

Just guessing, but I bet there's a reason why Jonathan Blow is having to pay outlets to interview him for his new game.

From my perspective as a former English teacher, many people don't understand Joyce Carol Oates OR Emily Wilson. I see the strangest, most clueless, most reductive, most presumptuous comments about both of them pretty regularly. Many do not engage with scholars and artists often, and it shows.

Lots of folks are comparing McConnell’s vote today to Feinstein’s finals days in the senate. The main difference is that Feinstein was co-sponsoring legislation to expand voting rights, while McConnell voted to cut SNAP and end environmental protections.

When the charmingly forgettable movie YESTERDAY came out, I thought it was accidentally (?) appropriate that a world without The Beatles could lead to a world where an Ed Sheeran (whipping boy du jour, rightly so) was the the pinnacle of the form. Frankly, that adds up.

You’re boycotting Ed Sheeran because he’s pro-Israel. I’m boycotting Ed Sheeran because his music is bad.

I’ve heard accomplished academics and creatives say that they use genAI to brainstorm or throw together outlines or other stuff on this list. And I’m sure for them, this seems like they're getting past speed bumps or less interesting parts of their work.

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

I really can't handle these utterly fictional remembrances of 9/11 about a time when America was united. I was there. We were absolutely not united at all. A shared grief and shock? Perhaps. But many of us were just as angered by the hatred and xenophobia and warmongering that immediately followed.

Saw an alleged PlayStation fan/news site on here that apparently has some credibility given its followers with just relentlessly anti-Sony posts (which is fine given the state of things right now) also talking about how Asha Sharma has done great work so far. 3,200 layoffs is great work?

Hate to be a hater when almost every announcement these days has a requisite tidal wave of negativity (for a few days, at least), but these MercurySteam METROIDs are just not for me. SAMUS RETURNS on 3DS was a real wreck, and the game mechanics just don't suit the series for me at all.

I giggled non-stop through Coyote Vs Acme, which was legit hilarious and also, weirdly touching… I hope it continues to kill at the box office and also, gives Will Forte a career boost, he should be as big a cultural figure as John Mulaney and Andy Samberg

Really excited for this extended weekend (Labor Day in the US) movie-wise. Two landmark films I've never gotten to see on the big screen: DOUBLE INDEMNITY and AKIRA. Very, very stoked. (Slight bummer that AKIRA didn't land here even on fake-IMAX, but I'll take it.)

A company like Barnes & Noble, say, could create a ton of goodwill and drive some serious foot traffic, I'd imagine, if they bundled an e-book with all hard copy sales. Books at full price are quite expensive in a world without mass market paperbacks, so it could be a real boon at retail price.

I would describe Akira in IMAX as something akin to a religious experience. I brought my parents and their review was basically, “Confusing and unrelenting, but an undeniable technical achievement,” to loosely quote them. boxd.it/gbzcb3

Capcoms #Onimusha Way of the Sword is coming out today and this is one you shouldn´t miss. I played through the whole game for my review (in the next M! Games) and I loved pretty much every minute. Characters and acting are great, the views are lush and beautiful and the swordplay is pitch-perfect.

People like to say you can't vote your way out of fascism, but this isn't true. Look at Brazil and Hungary. They tossed their fascists out at the polls. I don't believe Texas is that far gone.

Wouldn't mind a re-release of the original Super Famicom TRIALS OF MANA that's the exact same game but with menus that don't take four full seconds to load. Maybe toss in widescreen if possible. Gorgeous game. Rights all (or most of) the wrongs of Secret's battle system and UI.

Dolly wrote more than 3,000 songs. She recorded 49 studio albums. She had good and great albums in every decade from the 1960s all the way to the 2020s. Just put one on! If you've never heard her albums, it's almost never too late. Heck of an actor, too.

The temperature-checkers who are always debating whether someone is a Nazi or fascism is "on the march" completely ignore the primary rule that we should lash out immediately at the first WHIFF of either of those. We don't need to wait for it to arrive. Sort of like climate change.
