The poster/VHS cover is so damn good.

Happy 40th anniversary to the original “Fright Night,” the movie that I used to watch on a loop on HBO as a kid, and, along with “The Lost Boys,” began my vampire obsession in earnest. I used to listen to the soundtrack all the time too. Great script, great cast, great practical FX, it’s all so good

I feel like such a dirty old man when I look at him now.

She didn’t really have a lackluster era to me for her first two decades. Or close to it

Just saw that “Music” by Madonna just turned 25. 20 fucking 5. What’s crazy is that I still think of that as “later stage Madonna” and it’s a quarter century old now. ☠️ And yes, I do mark my life by “which era was Madonna in that year?” Of my 51 years on Earth, M has been a fixture for 42 of them.

They did. But since this will probably keep the expressive eyes, this might put it over the top for me

Yes, I feel the same way about Superman’s costume, which is otherwise perfect.

I’ve never hated any of the live-action Spider-Man costumes (although that gold trim Iron Spider one from Infinity War thru No Way Home was pushing it) but it’s wild that it took them almost 25 years to just do the one from the comics. And look, it’s perfect. It never needed to be anything but this

Had an incredible time last night with my babes @ethen-thehuman.bsky.social seeing Mother Monster at the Mayhem Ball. Last time I saw Gaga live was at the Born this Way Ball, but this outdid it in every way. Her best tour yet. (It helps that I genuinely love “Mayhem” the album except for one song)

The two big outliers to this MCU “rule” are Captain Marvel, which was sandwiched between two of the biggest movies of all time and marketed as a key piece of that story, and Guardians of the Galaxy. That one REALLY came out of nowhere. But FF is so far, performing like most MCU intro movies do.

Fantastic Four will likely end its run with around $275 domestic,so on par or better than other MCU part 1s for Cap, Thor, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man, Shang-Chi, but nowhere near the heights of Iron Man, or Black Panther (both cultural phenomenons). The Avengers movies are all events, & Spidey is an icon

Like No Way Home. Amazing critic/audience ratings upon release, now all these fans talk shit on it. But it wasn’t the vibe when it came out.

It was loved when it came out. The internet always decides something they loved when it came out was “mid” years later.

This is pretty much perfect. No notes. I’ve heard “Brand New Day” is like an old issue of “Marvel Team-Up” from the ‘70s mixed with “Spider-Man: The Animated Series” from the ‘90s, and if so, bring it.

I only kept my old dummy account so if someone sends me an X link, it opens in-app. But I can’t imagine anyone who’s not raving lunatic MAGA or has professional obligations regularly engaging there in good faith at this point. If is truly a cesspool of bigotry and almost nothing else now.

I looked for 5 minutes… the post ratio was “Sydney Sweeney - White supremacy - multiple posts from “End Wokeness” - more Sydney Sweeney - and a blue checkmark post that said “The Man in the High Castle” show about a world where Nazis won WWII represented a true utopia. Elon simply destroyed that app

In this lefty echo chamber of Bsky, I’ve seen no one post about Sydney Sweeney or the jeans ad “controversy.” I barely knew about it. Currently, we have bigger fish to fry. As far as I can tell, it was one person’s article. But all of MAGA is foaming at the mouth defending it. It’s WILD.

Once every few months, out of morbid curiosity, I take a peek at X. I deleted my old account, but I have a dummy account that has no posts/follows no one. Every other post in the “For You” tab is about Sydney Sweeney. Literally every other one. The rest are pure Nazi bile. Again, not exaggerating.

The cleaned up and remastered ESB looks stunning, almost like it could’ve been made yesterday. Watching it now, it’s crazy to think it’s a 45 year old movie.

Now that it’s officially confirmed, I reiterate this statement below:

Yeah, don’t hold your breath for that lol. Honestly, aside from Greedo shooting first (or at all), I prefer the SE these days. Is that Gen X heresy?

I wish they'd released it this year, for the 45th, but they chose Revenge of the Sith. Which makes sense, as the Millennial age fandom is more likely to go to the theater than the Gen Xers at this point. Except me.

Releasing A New Hope for #StarWars' 50th anniversary is the most no-brainer decision Lucasfilm has ever made. Can't wait to see this movie I've seen at least 100 times on the big screen.

The Jinkx Monsoon episode of Ziwe is the best episode of Ziwe ever, at least without Chet Hanks being a total fucking douchebag for our entertainment. youtu.be/KrLwxfnCSGg?...

Maybe it’s ’cuz I’m old & soft , but I’m enjoying “And Just Like That” this season, as everyone else apparently hate watches it. I feel like the criticisms are valid, but could just as easily be said about Sex & the City. AJLT is like The Last Jedi for girls & gays; they HATE seeing their heroes age
