NYCC 2025 Cosplay pictures from the 2025 New York Comic Con

The time is just whooshing by! I'm having a hard time coping with the fact that we'll be singing "Auld Land Syne" in just about 8 weeks! Before then, I wanted to share some pics from this year's @newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social It's been the highlight of my October every year! flic.kr/s/aHBqjCzkLw

YouTube video by JoBlo Originals WTF Happened to Friday The 13th: The Series (1987-1990)?!

@newyorkcomiccon.bsky.social I want to change my survey answer to panels I'd like to see next year - I'd like to see "Friday the 13th: The Series." This JoBlo Originals video brought back so many good memories for me. youtu.be/6V-PReNYmnA?...

Wow, I had the complete opposite opinion. I thought the story was an interesting imagining of society in the decades since the first 28 Days. The ritualization in particular made the movie for me as well as the portrayal of the "infected."

I'm patting myself on the back for knowing who Lola Young and Tate McRae are. Lola's "Messy" song is on one of my Spotify playlists. youtu.be/k-k2_Liofy8?...

Doja Cat Goes Totally ‘80s to Open VMAs With Kenny G Doja Cat went totally '80s for her performance of 'Jealous Type' opening the VMAs, complete with Kenny G and a Max Headroom-style intro.

Don't forget about Kenny G doing the intro! 😮

Or old enough (58) to get Doja Cat's Max Headroom reference in the video lead-in to her performance. 😊

YouTube video by Singapore Dialects 新加坡方言社 西游記 1996 主題曲 (短版) Journey to the West 1996 Theme | 张伟健 Dicky Cheung

I recently learned Tubi is streaming my favorite adaptation of the classic "Journey to the West" - the 1996 Hong Kong TVB production starring Dicky Cheung! AND they're streaming it in its original Cantonese with English subtitles!

I'm not on much so really don't know what's going on but sometimes it really isn't you. Sometimes it's just them.

This was the sky over Houston Street yesterday. What do you see?

Hope you're asleep now and not seeing this until you wake up refreshed in the morning/early afternoon.

Thank you @jamesgunn.bsky.social for the more realistic portrayal of Krypto. Superman was a lot of fun but it was Krypto that made the movie for me. I honestly teared up a bit as it made me think of my own dog that passed earlier this year.

YouTube video by Park Avenue Armory Trailer | Diane Arbus: "Constellation"

If you're in the area, walk through the new Diane Arbus exhibit at the Park Avenue Armory. Spread out among the photos on this grid-like lattice are reflective surfaces that in a way add your reflection/your portrait to the hundreds taken by Arbus.

YouTube video by Live Aid Live Aid - 40th Anniversary (PART 2)

Has it really been 40 years? I have vague memories of getting up early on a Saturday in the summer before my freshman year at college with a stack of blank VHS tapes and my finger on the record button of the family VHS player. I think I was there almost the entire day.

Congratulations! It's one of my favorite new shows.

What a mom wants: Netflix’s The Life List Alex “Bean” Rose has a “life list.” A list she made at 13 of things she wants to accomplish in life. It includes things like learning to play the piano, learning to drive, reading Moby Dick, getting a tattoo, performing a stand-up routine, getting along better with her father, and falling in love. In Netflix’s The Life List, Alex must fulfill the items on her life list in order to receive her inheritance. Her mother Elizabeth believes Alex is “floundering” and given up her passions for a “cozy job.” Something happened that hurt Alex so deeply that she quit the life she imagined and now works as an account executive at her mother’s cosmetic company.

The Life List on Netflix was fun and it got me thinking about stuff.

Thanks. Now, I need to find some time to watch.

Wait, what happened? I haven't started season 2 yet but I've played the game so sort of know what goes on. Should I watch the second season or wait for a rainy day when there is nothing else on?

I've been binging season 1. I remember it used to be on Netflix but disappeared before I could finish it. So happy that it's on Crunchyroll and that there are several seasons to watch! Such an incredible show. Puppets and old fashioned HKTVB period drama!

Hmm... I don't know if it was epic but it was loads of fun. The cute rom com elements really made the show worthwhile. I felt that's what made "Moving" so fun and interesting to watch.

Thank you for the recommendation. I've just finished "Moving." It's definitely on the opposite end of "Light Shop" visually but both have similarly dark themes.

Dementia 21 might be my Steppenwolf SPOILERS! There may be spoilers in this post. Do not read further, if it concerns you. It is definitely my age that gives Shintaro Kago’s Dementia 21 a little more bite. A little more darkness. A little more sadness. And a little more humor. A friend once told me that Herman Hesse’s Steppenwolf tells an entirely different story when read as a 30-year-old than the one a high schooler reads when assigned it in English class.

Would you say #LightShop was "poetic?" That's the word that popped into my head when I tried to describe it to a friend in 30 words or less. It's one of the best shows I've seen in a while. I haven't seen #Moving but have just put it on my Watchlist.

That's so cool. That's one of my favorite shows.

Grotesquerie in the Twilight THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THIS POST. DON'T READ FURTHER IF IT MATTERS TO YOU. I finally binged Grotesquerie on Hulu. I had no idea of what the show was about before starting it. I was drawn in by the "gothy" color scheme and religious imaginary, deep reds and purple hues over Christian crosses hung over a nun in a white habit, running into frame.

I wrote a new blog post.

Congratulations!

Same. #11.
