I very much enjoy writing about Alan Moore and his silly sci-fi short stories

Jason X is more fun than I remember. The franchise never re-captures the highs of 4-6 but the last couple are at least a marked improvement over where things started and joins the club of slashers that are dumb in the right ways

People glazing Tubi must be out of their minds. Every 20 minutes you get an AI generated ad for a casino gambling app

This shit is unwatchable

I admit, I was actually intrigued by this project but this is for the best. The Whedon led 90s-2000s properties had their run, and we need to let them go. Even though Whedon himself wasn't involved in this, I don't think more Buffy does anything that new original stuff can't

To be honest, Jason Goes to Hell is a pretty fun movie. Much better than the last one. Body hopping Jason parasite is hilarious

Children and adults traumatized by the horror of cosmic monsters that reflect their own depraved choices, their own desire to abandon what makes us human in a childish refusal to accept death, consequence and the universe's lack of meaning

Meanwhile this mfer is just living his best life

Someone really made a movie called "Jason Takes Manhattan" where the opening titles are set to a montage of late 80s NYC life, and then deliberately chose to not have Jason in Manhattan until the last 30 minutes

Feels like cheating because I didn't play Silent Hill 2 until recently but the rest were all very informative in my taste lol

Caught In A Bat-Romance: Gothic Love in Batman #227 By Lillian Hochwender We all have our own personal Batman: for some, it’s the mascara-smeared Robert Pattinson; for others, it’s Frank Miller’s blocky brute. But over the decades, the specifics of …

Completely disagree, obviously. Michael Mann is one of the best American directors ever and Thief is a classic. But I do love the way Kael wrote this. She definitely gets the movie, and its funny to read her critical description when those are all the best things about the movie

From Flock to ICE, Here’s a Breakdown of How You’re Being Watched To better understand what exactly we’re looking at in this dystopian surveillance hellscape, 404 Media’s Jason Koebler and Joseph Cox joined Reddit's r/technology for an Ask Me Anything session.

From Flock's nationwide surveillance to ICE tools, we are being watched. Is there anyway to go back now?

"Police love telling each other about the new capabilities and tools that they've acquired, so this tech can spread from city to city very quickly."

A 404 Media guide to surveillance in 2026:

Shinji is also an interesting contrast to Gundam protags like Amuro. For Amuro, the trauma of being a child soldier has to do primarily with death, war, and political responsibility for the future. But for Shinji, that trauma is an inward foreclosure to grew and learning how to be yourself

There is also a powerful coupling of coming of age and body dysphoria in a way that's extremely unique for mecha anime, and I'm very much here for it. Wish I saw this when I was much younger. But maybe I wouldn't have appreciated it as much

Its a very pretty show, in a way that most anime never allow themselves to be. There's no AoT exaggeration or over stimulation. It let's the episodes be quiet and thoughtful in between the action

I'm only 5 episodes in but one of the best animes I've ever seen in terms of episode by episode cliffhangers, allowing slow moments to linger, creating unique compositions that the episodes will simply hold on. Its so cinematic

Shock, awe, surprise, hot take, unpopular opinion, or whatever else

Evangelion is really good
