A space marine dreadnought made out of gingerbread The caption reads 'Ho ho heretics, ginger dreadnought has returned'

It's that time of year again

Tangentially related, it has been so nice (and grounding!) knowing the two of you. A lot of my friends are basically "nice squishy liberals slowly being radicalized by life," so it is always a relief to log on and say, "ah, the communist goon dykes understand."

This is more or less where I’m at with them. I’m fond of them but there’s other stuff that speaks to me more directly, and as I got older I was able to put my finger on some of the stuff in them that bugged me even when I read them as a kid. I still enjoy them; I just don’t pretend they’re perfect.

That is one I actually watched *before* Banshee! And it fucking rules.

(It was amusing to see Hoon Lee as Job; totally a “hey, I recognize that guy!” moment.)

Hey I just finished watching Banshee; you’re doing better than me in terms of, uh, catching up on years-old action series.

no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

It's... it's Yuen Biao. 🥹 In an action scene! Thank you, Chris Huo, thank you. My Hong Kong Action Cinema-loving heart is full.

RIP Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa. I like to imagine he's eating sushi off some naked chicks with Brandon Lee in action movie heaven.

RoboCop statue rises in Detroit: ‘Big, beautiful, bronze piece of art’ A 15-year quest ends with a monument, drawing crowds and nostalgia as Detroit embraces its cult-film past

It took 15 years, but it’s finally a reality! Jen would be so pleased.

John Brown

Abolitionist John Brown was executed by the state of Virginia on December 2, 1859.

Somehow, as legacy media shits the bed in the face of American fascism, L.A. Taco & Memo Torres rise to the occasion.

A tiny bit of good news.

it both rules and sucks that isaac chotiner continues to run circles around basically the entire media class using a unique genetic superpower known as "object permanence"

I was so pissed when they showed up in Star Wars and that’s all they were given to do.

And Star Wars just had Cecep Arif Rahman and Yayan Ruhian runaway from CGI alien. This is how you use two amazing stuntmen and martial artists who are also charming as hell.

100 Yards (2023)

directed by Xu Haofeng

I have several portfolios in storage, full of prints that used to be on my ceiling when I lived in an apartment with vaulted ceilings (I had a 12-foot ladder just for the purpose of putting more art even higher up the ceiling).

Phil likewise has a giant portfolio of stuff he buys but can't display.

I swear there's so much amazing art out there and I want all of it, except that I do not have enough wall space and I am not literally made of money.

The gyoji has been tossed, the sacred mound of dirt has been deconsecrated, and the offering taken away in a Family Mart bag as per tradition. Thus ends another basho!

And the macaron is *gold.* Yes, it is the gold macaron this basho!
