NECA News and Pics From Comic-Con Toy designer and publicist Blaine Rodenbaugh walked us through it

It's my #NECA walkthrough with Q&A from comic-con! Garfield Ninja Turtles and more... lytrules.substack.com/p/neca-news-...

It took eight years, but it's nice to see South Park finally go nuclear on the current administration.

I respect people who stand athwart language yelling "Stop changing!" but it is futile in the end.

"They" becoming a common-use singular pronoun was a good change. Others can be too.

This is a good visualization of when people say that AI saves them time.

FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES feels like a solid swan song -- includes an instigating incident, kills relevant to the actual story at hand, and a way to win if the heroes can manage it. Better than maybe all the rest except part 2.
Hey, does anybody know if Tony Todd improvised his final line?

Who would you cast in a TJ Hooker movie? Paul Wesley and Chris Pine might seem obvious, but really, you need a hammy, middle-aged, past prime-youth TV lead who isn't yet fully aware of how inadvertently funny he is.

If Dean Cain an Kevin Sorbo weren't utterly awful they'd be the type.

It's funny how people who say we're responsible for the sins of two naked people 6,000 years ago insist they are in no way culpable whatsoever for their great grandparents owning slaves.

King of the Hill Season 14 Review: Yep Hank Hill returns on Hulu, still gradually inching toward personal growth

My review of the new King of the Hill. Yep. lytrules.substack.com/p/king-of-th...

If people want Newsom not to get the presidential nomination, somebody else with the same level of recognition has to start fighting as hard against Trump. Take that as the challenge now.

(Also, rest assured that any frontrunner this early usually ain't it by the end)

When I first saw Norman Reedus in FLOATING, I thought, "This guy is like the missing Phoenix sibling."

This is like if you went to the Hall of Presidents at Disney World and said you got an exclusive with Abraham Lincoln. bsky.app/profile/jima...

Might be time for @luckymckee.bsky.social to make a documentary feature.

I'm a lifelong #WWE fan, but I'm gonna need to hear a damn good explanation for Brock Lesnar returning if I'm gonna watch again.

I guess not.

Soooo...was Lesnar actually cleared of all wrongdoing?

Eyes of Wakanda Review: Slack Panther Whatever you wanted to know about Black Panther's nation will have to wait.

Guess I ruined Eyes of Wakanda's 100% fresh score. We should demand more from a Black Panther spinoff. lytrules.substack.com/p/eyes-of-wa...

As a kid, I didn't remember the in-universe names of the Ghostbusters for years, but it never stopped me liking the movie.

The Naked Gun Review: Neeson, Frankly It takes a deadpan former straight man to make this work. They got the guy.

Twisted Metal Season 2 Review: Fall Out of Love? There's more competition these days for post-apocalypse weirdscapes

Twisted Metal season 2 is loaded with filler and takes half the season to get to the tournament promised last season. Still has its fun, but Fallout and Squid Game have lapped it since its debut. lytrules.substack.com/p/twisted-me...

With you on the first two; I'd make 31 my third.
