Met her at a screening for a short film she starred in. Can confirm, nothing but nice.

The very first thing we see in the original Fallout game is a news reel where Americans execute a Canadian and wave at the camera. This was considered satire in 1997… I’m glad the show explored this a bit since it’s always been a background lore thing. Shame it’s not satirical now.

My favorite investigation was of Saddam. Never could bring myself to accuse him in any playthrough.

Pentiment is an all time game and truly an inspiration - I did my part Josh. I push that game on all my friends like it’s a drug.

Obligatory New Vegas is peak (it is).

One day I’ll try Pillars of Eternity again…

β€œAndor” is over and I won’t be the same. If they wanted to make a SW show set between the OT movies called And-MORE, following the remaining characters, I’d be down for that. Luke Han and Leia aren’t seen cause they’re off doing heroic stuff, not murking their comrades or doing other sleazy work.

I don’t know man, that smile she gave in the mirror was scarier than anything else I’ve ever seen in this franchise to date - books, comics, games, movies pamphlets, Insider articles, shows - combined.

if, ten years ago, your entire understanding of politics was that the right wing wanted to destroy everything because they were evil, you had a more accurate and more predictive analysis than functionally the entire American media and political apparatus

I thought of this movie first because I watched it a couple years ago and it was a BANGER. And yes, Hackman as the villain was incredible. He had so many raw and wicked lines only he could deliver.

I’m so ready to have that middle manager getting screwed over by his boss return, presumably making Dedra’s life hell.

Ben looks like he’s having a grand old time wearing a cape again.

β€˜Phasing’ anything has always been a β€œI can’t suspend my disbelief”. Shadowcat in X-Men always made me go, β€œBUT HOW??”

Ready Player One is despicable for many reasons, but today I woke up mad at its portrayal of the oligarch tech lord as a good and decent person. Yes the man who invents an app that ensnares all of society, so much so that they abandon reality altogether, he would be benevolent and virtuous, for sure

1) he doesn’t have any friends
2) Beverly Hills is unaffected so far
3) even if it was being β€˜decimated’, the fact that his concern in this moment is only for rich folks and the β€˜biggest most valuable homes’ tells you everything about this pathetic man.

We’re getting a horrific glimpse at the possible future. Widespread, cataclysmic climate change tragedies made worse by austerity and blamed on minorities by the Right, who will use their power to enable the wealth class as they continue to profit

It doesn’t have to be this way. We can change this.

Streaming in 2010: You can watch an entire catalog of amazing movies and TV shows for a reasonable monthly fee

Streaming in 2025: our library is Batman movies and 28 seasons of a Tim Allen sitcom, it costs $159/month. We just destroyed the last piece of evidence that Mister Rogers ever existed

Trump’s threats to weaponize the government and Musk’s total takeover is prepping the political landscape for an authoritarian push in which Democrats and liberals normalize everything while praising them like feudal lords in order to protect themselves and secure scraps wherever they can get them.

The last time I watched the prequels I was struck by how I was more invested in Anakin leaving his mom behind and the Jedi being this problematic extension of a corrupt state. I wish the movies were more about this and executed better, because you can see some good stuff there buried by nonsense

Trump getting Covid and shambling up the White House steps.

The bombshell Leia in turn drops on Han at the end, and he has to unpack her kissing Luke on Hoth and Luke’s jealous moment in A New Hope.
