Pluribus is like if The Good Place were prestige TV (derogatory)

YouTube video by William Richert WHO KILLED WINTER KILLS - The Film They Never Wanted You To See

Just floored by how outrageous Winter Kills was. Strongly recommend it and this making of doc as a chaser

A sneaky weekend drop of the new GAME STUDIES STUDY BUDDIES, in which we spend 3 hours talking about a book that is 80 pages long! It's worth it, though, as few texts have been as impactful on how we talk about our present moment as Mark Fisher's CAPITALIST REALISM:

The Dark Crystal took 5 years to make and cost $84m (adjusted) and the end result is a picture where you can see all the money, time & effort on screen.

They’re doing those high production value Godzilla shorts again. This one’s suitmation and models!

A ★★★ review of Presence (2024) When did Soderbergh step in to fill Blumhouse’s boots of delivering sub $10 million horror films to theaters? Between this and Unsane you can’t not feel the difference between the breezy thrills of th...

Several of my colleagues were laid off today, and seeing the usual reaction from the usual people pushed me to write a blog post (how retro) about the sad state of online discourse: jackcrustycoleman.com/2025/10/22/l...

BTS on Dawn of the dead. Lots of Romero talking thru his creative process. In other words: invaluable.

A review of Fragments of Red (2023) Not every day you see an ode to artistic misfire. I’m generally of the opinion that a compromised, but complete work is better than having nothing to show. And as much work went into this unfinished f...

You know what was a good show? The Curse

Report: Metroid Dread developer MercurySteamworks accused of retaliation and forced crunch

The post game support they and Ubi have shown for their games is hardly something I want more of from AAA space, but if “money isn’t real” is their mantra its still awe inspiring to see.

Even putting aside the fact that AI can't do this and will never be able to do this

Who would *want* this? Who wants a bespoke personal TV show? That they can't meaningfully engage anyone else with? That no human had a hand in crafting? You might as well tell someone about a cool dream you had.

A ★★★ review of High-Rise Invasion (2021) In the mid 2000s there was a deluge of edgelord horror-fantasy anime. High selling DVDs included Hellsing, Claymore, and Elfen Lied and the culture stunk of oneupmanship over who “found” the cruelest ...

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

A ★★★ review of Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple (2006) I don’t know why this was so captivating even as it exited my mind after finishing this more than a week ago. I mean, 50 episodes and nothing has seared my mind more than the pinups that bookend the c...

Looking thru my Letterboxd logs for anime with a big, grandfatherly smile.

Wait, Tyler Cowen has been writing about how to find virgins since 2009 while he was a professor at George Mason University

remember when square enix spent $137 million (276,540,261.68 in 2025) to make Aki Ross the first CGI actress and then that so supremely did not fucking work that it almost bankrupted them

this is like that only it's entirely creatively bankrupt

A ★★★ review of Friendship (2024) Feels not that long ago “K fabe” broke containment from its wrestling origins and took a permanent seat among neurodivergent terminology. How about we take that word and turn backwards just a bit, to ...

BREAKING: In Chicago, Illinois—U.S. citizens protesting ICE were dragged into vans by masked federal agents with no badges and no warrants.

People screamed: “Who are you? Where are you taking them?”

This is authoritarian control in real time.
