I've just realized that Alien Day happens on the anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster so my new mostly harmless conspiracy theory is that Xenomorphs in addition to cutting corners on safety regulations caused it.

Rereading some Captain America 2008 last night. The Red Skull's scheme was running multiple fake assassination attempts on a senator he was trying to prop up into the White House while using private security firms to crush protests of a financial crash he purposely caused. Can't help but to laugh.

I'm an action movie fan. It's a genre that lives and dies on two things; Stunt work and charismatic leads. I've been pleasantly surprised by how charming a lot of these guys are after (rather snobbishly I admit) writing them off- Folks like Van Damme or Dolph, etc. Chuck Norris wasn't like that. 1/3

I've never been compelled, recommended or advised to seek out a Norris movie. What little I've seen of cameos and his TV show didn't impress me. The man's only legacy is accidentally winning meme status and being pummeled by Bruce Lee. The only remarkable thing about Norris 2/3

was his ability to be remarkably bad in a genre that never required much more than likeability, and he couldn't even manage that. I've genuinely tried to rack my brain on worse action stars and the closest I've come to is The Rock but again, it's hardly a competition. 3/3

Thinkin bout Andor and how vital it was to never show Palpatine. It spared me from seeing a cackling cartoon villain inbetween this sincere story of resisting Fascism because that would have caused some mild tone issues but also the sheer dissonance of recognizing that this aspect, too, is Real Life

I keep seeing Release The Epstein Files and yeah, in the name of transparency that should be a thing. But that's less important to me than an impartial Justice Department reviewing the files and acting with authority to investigate and prosecute the wrong doings in them. 1/2

It's incredibly fucked up that we need that level of transparency to know that our system is functioning correctly; Average Citizens should not need to comb through hours of child abuse and fray their mental health only for DoJ to do nothing about it. 2/2

Coward didn't do the full William Walker.

If Trump wants to invade Venezuela I hope he does the full William Walker Experience and just goes down there with his whole cabinet and some US Gravy Seals type. The Spirit of Walker's Immortals lives on I guess.

Trump speed running the Iraq War, hopefully that's a disastrous boondoggle that destroys lives that only last one decade instead of two.

SPOILERS FOR STRANGER THINGS . . . . . . So 42 episodes and nine years and all they can manage is remaking a big budget version of S1's finale- 11 missing and the boys playing D&D??? I like the concept of bookends but holy shit if this isn't proof they were stretching this out I dont know what is.

It's weird to see folks getting excited for a new Spielberg flick. Not saying his 21st century catalog is awful but I don't know anyone who's gonna say Minority Report impacted them the same way as Jaws or argue Lincoln is as meaningful as Schindler's List.

With the passing of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, we have lost not just one of the greatest villains in all cinema, we lost one of the most skilled actors of an era. I would have killed to see him star as a grumpy detective in a mystery series. He could have done it. He could do anything. RIP

Mr. Beast is one of those celebrities or shows in the background of a dystopian story to give you an idea of how completely the broken society has become. You can't convince me he's real.

another case of people reading a headline and either not reading or misreading an article. the actual reporting does not say anything like "all trans people are being classified as terrorists" i understand why people are scared. i also feel like reading comprehension is at an all time low

Late Night shows suck. Even when they're hosted by talented folks they're largely toothless facsimiles used to promote brands and products and I'd be fine if they disappeared for that reason. Not because a reality TV Star who conned his way into the presidency to avoid jail had his ego hurt by them.

Hey politicians. Come here. Little closer, yeah. If you're afraid of getting killed you've deeply failed at your job. Your policies and your attempts to moderate bad opposition parties failed, and you've allowed this environment to ferment. If you were doing your job RIGHT you wouldn't be afraid.

It's a turf war between the "polite" bigots and the folks they've groomed into thinking political violence is the only answer. Of course that's a story that can only end in the same vein as Frankenstein

I, an average dummy, know better to idly speculate the identity of a killer during a breaking news story. I am therefore more ethical than the Wall Street Journal and every single Republican politician, and should be given the money that nominally goes to them instead.

I find it interesting that in making everything a culture war talking point The Right has accidentally diluted their rage; If you're gonna be as upset over Cracker Barrel as a man dying it's pretty clear you don't actually believe in jackshit.

if charlie kirk didn't get shot the right wing would be equally and as consequentially as mad about a tv commercial or restaurant logo or something else, they're gonna do what they're gonna do regardless

The day will come when all of this is sorted out and laid into a narrative, as is the nature of history. Putting aside the freshness of this moment and a lot of knee jerk reactions i feel it's worth commenting this fact; Charlie Kirk will be spoken about the same way Joseph Goebbels is spoken about.

I'm not saying anyone has to love a piece of media but I find it interesting that nearly all the complaints I see for Alien Earth is "characters make stupid decisions" and I wonder if Prometheus (similarly accused of this) didn't really fuck up fans of this franchise's brains Somehow. 1/2

I think this in particular baffles me because like. This has never been a franchise defined by characters making Perfect Decisions, even going back to Alien with everyone ignoring quarantine and having breakfast with a guy who just got facefucked by a handcrab for a few hours. 2/2

My golden rule is If that kind of stuff is bothering you, you weren't enjoying the thing to begin with. Most anything can have story beats or character decisions that just exist to keep the ball rolling. I'd really prefer folks lead with that over nitpicking rather standard genre tropes 3/2

Realistically, about how long do you think this administration could keep Trump's passing under wraps? Bonus question, who's the dumbass who ends up giving the game away?
