Time to start the journey all over again.

My comments re the Warner news can be expressed as this. ANTI TRUST LAWS? DO YOUR JOB! DAMN IT!

As a classic wrestling fan? It’s genuinely amazing to finally watch Chi-Town Rumble 89 as originally intended as a complete show and not just Flair vs Steamboat. Wow. Things have changed so much since then. Honestly? I wish more modern stuff felt like this. #wrestlesky

Even if you don't think this movie belongs in the Criterion Collection, this is still very good news. This will be a big seller and set a good precedent for direct to streaming movies getting premium physical disc releases.

Remember this after Netflix buys out Warner Bros.

people always go "it's Star Wars, it's Marvel, it's Sonic, it's Digital Circus, it's the specific franchise that's the problem" no it's just fandom

you can enjoy a show, draw art of it, bond with others over it etc but you have to keep your head on straight. it's just a show. and if it becomes the most important thing in your life that's a major problem

ever notice how every giant fandom becomes a toxic cesspool full of drama and resentment towards the creator of the work they're all obsessing over, hmm almost like centering your life around a piece of media is not healthy

I’ve probably missed this (timezones be damned.) But next time you do this? I definitely want to join in!

Very happy! Just got back from,watching The Day The Earth Blew Up in the theatre. Total blast. My inner animation nerd was exploding.

the anime "filler episode" was a real and very specific thing that largely died in the 2000s. the way the phrase "filler episode" was interpreted by anime fans-- "anything that does not move plot forward"-- became a contagious disease that did immense damage to serialized storytelling as a whole

You should watch an anime from the 1970s. Its good for you

God I wish more people saw and understood Max’s point here. youtu.be/W_19-cos8Bc?...

And not even just for gaming. But like…the internet in general. To quote a friend of mine. β€œPeople tend to forget that much of what we see online is intended to rage, shock and disgust you for easy viewership.”

Just finished Wonder Man. Genuinely a brilliant show. It made me cry. VERY highly recommended.

I never bring it up here but I’m a fan of 80s and 90s wrestling and the biography of Gorilla Monsoon by Brian R Solomon is wonderful

I got to the end and started tearing up. Gino was a good man and getting to the end made it feel like losing an old friend. Thanks so much for everything Gorillla.

I am currently watching the opera Castor and Pollux. I was not expecting Pollux to Kamehameha/Hadoken the demons of Hades to death.

So happy that it’s not just a quick cameo but that they’ll actually be in the writer’s room for the episode. Love seeing the talent that helped build MST3K being celebrated and embraced and highlighted

Completely random but a friend bought me an old 50s Basie LP from a charity shop. Sounds surprisingly good condition for something that’s clearly been played a lot. Very charming. #jazzsky

Damn I’m enjoying this Walter Smith III album. For a modern jazz album? It stylistically sounds like something that came out of the late 60s or early 70s. Damn it’s smooth. I’ll have to track down a vinyl of it one day

I’m a very lucky man to have both of these. Very stylistically different. But they both sound amazing. Satriani in particular sounded literally perfect. I could have been persuaded it was the master recording for Pete’s sake it was that good.

I really respect this official Gundam art for having Sarah look at the audience and go, β€œCan you believe this fuckin guy?”

How is this even a thing? A crazy custom? There’s no way this is legit. Even by Lupin standards.

Agreed. I know Parts 2 and 3 just aren’t feasible financially but I would go feral for a Fuma or Return the Treasure dub!

It honestly feels like thanks to a wish from a genie, English Lupin fans finally have our own version of the late 2000s Italian dub. The outright definitive version. Now if only we could get a Fuma dub.

30.01.2026 18:03 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

If only. In all honesty? Even though I’ve only probably watched this new dub twice? It’s already THE dub for me. I already have to fight the urge to watch it obsessively as is. I think the thing that helps is the crew honestly feel like themselves. This is the most Lupin Caggy dub in now it feels.
