I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1673

Very good... and sadly still appropriate.

I still have to watch the previous season, but for me, Season 3 felt like it was BUILT on all the things I love!

-Soviet commandos!
-A "Terminator"!
-THE THING!
-Secret base!

Glorious!

Love this story every time its retold.

I gotta go with Bane.
Always felt tonally correct as his villain persona, but moments of human emotion & caring still coming through him.

Hey y'all, I'm working on increasing my subscribers at my site (paid & free), so I thought I'd tease the next installments in my "One-and-Done" Slasher Series - 2 of the best horror movies released during the 2010s:

Maybe one of the most subversively incredible double features @newbeverly.bsky.social has ever programmed.

He's REALLY good, along with everyone else, in PRESUMED INNOCENT.

Also, if it's out there somewhere, Raul Julia played Dracula on Broadway in the late 70s (but was not brought in to play it for the movie in '79)

Here you go..

My dog, Chaser, laying down in the center of an orange slot canyon. He has his front legs stretched out and is looking toward the camera with ears perked up.

Canonically, the Muppets are a bunch of Dirty Hippies who just want to Put On a Show. After their Hollywood Days they probably *moved to Portland* and built a community theater in partnership with Reed College.

They wouldn’t just be behind the protests, they’d be down there with them.

Apropos of Nothing, I am reminded of being excited about Monica Bellucci in SPECTRE and being utter disappointed at how she was used in the movie.

Honestly - SHE should've been revealed as Blofeld!
