#GodAwfulMovies 512: “Summertime Christmas” (2010) 🔊: audioboom.com/posts/8739153

No one told me how stupid it’d be living under fascism. Yeah, it’s dangerous. Certainly, many fascists wouldn’t be fascists if they were taught to use critical thinking. But it’s also a parade of clowns turning cruelty into policy & calling it common sense. I wish we could have thoughtful convos.

Springsteen, with the moral clarity that has always defined his voice, captures something essential about this moment: how one figure can poison the wellspring of a nation’s soul. His words carry the weight of decades chronicling the American experience, its promise and its betrayals.

Born In The Rock 6/24/1944: The late great Jeff Beck, he went from backing up Screaming Lord Sutch to the Yardbirds, Jeff Beck Group, Beck, Bogert & Appice and a storied solo career - JB was one of the most influential players ever. #JeffBeck #RockHonorRoll

If you ban Calvin and Hobbes you’re a straight up fascist son of a bitch and that’s that

The older I get the more I like TMP. #startrek

Janeway. I grew up on TNG, TOS,& VOY, but the strong women characters on Voyager changed my life as a kid. I don’t know if I’d be in Congress if that show wasn’t on TV. My dad was a huge Star Trek/Roddenberry fan & always talked about its social & political history. I could go on forever about ST 🪐

Guess who got to do a Star Trek Lower Decks cover? This guy! It comes out in September. Dream come true/career highlight.

It's becoming increasingly evident to me that Snyder cultists for all their instance about Snyder himself not buying the philosophy in Ayn Rand, the cultists technically do practice her philosophy between "might makes right" when feeling the need to get defensive and believing they're heroes.

Rosamund Pike did The Wheel of Time proud, holding nothing back in passion and dedication. Forever grateful to you, our Moiraine Sedai. #SaveWOT #TheWheelOfTime

I'm trying to distract myself from thinking about...you know, everything. So I went over to Hoopla and read this. It's just as insane as you would think. Somebody becomes a Green Lantern at one point, it's utterly ridiculous and it needs to be done in live action.

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

Democrats could write a bill right now that reverses everything in the current GOP bill & run on that. They could take their own "Big Beautiful Bill" to the people & promise to pass it first thing if they regain power. It would be clear to everyone where they stand on those issues. They won't do it.

Is it too much to ask? That the world not end before July does? #Superman #FantasticFour

Rewatched terminator 2 last night. Fun movie about AI leading to nuclear war and how the easiest way to kill someone is to dress up like a cop. Can't say its themes resonate today.

Here's the thing: the reason why HIGHLANDER works is it's a feature length Queen rock opera that eschews subtlety at every turn. It's a singular work completely of its time that has never leant itself to sequels (although did kind of work as a USA syndicated series).

One day at a time. Im talking to you - you, who might be struggling with your sobriety, or your anxiety, or your mental health - or just struggling. One day at a time. You cant fix everything, all the time. Hold on to one thing. One day at a time. You are loved ❤️

Still one of my favorite MCU films and still downright awesome.

rewatching one of my favorite action films ever, Shang-Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings (2021)!! By director Destin Daniel Cretton, starring Simu Liu. Love LOVE THIS ONE. What thrills, what excitement, and what a story! Definitely one of the MCU's best by far.

The action is like a painting come to life. Every stroke of the brush represents a punch, kick, and blow as it all comes together to form a masterpiece.

The take below is correct, there’s been a big uptick in RW accounts coming here so BL0CK them & MOVE ON. This is the way. 👍

Clint Barton is the unsung MVP of the Avengers.

I just heard this song on the radio and every single time I think of the version with Rita Moreno and the Muppets. Enjoy. youtu.be/bIjC6Ajv238?...

I've seen folks posting about Jaws, so here's mine: I owned this album. And listened to it, on purpose.

Just working on my book and thinking about how LeVar Burton is probably the most beloved and unproblematic famous person alive in america today and I hope he’s doing well.

Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce (aka "Space Vampires") was released 40 years ago today! "A race of space vampires arrives in London and infects the populace, beginning an apocalyptic descent into chaos."

i don't mean to come off as rude but we cannot sustain ourselves on outrage and anger forever. i think it's even more important now to post about other things too. even if it gets less engagement. you never know who will find it cool and interesting.

This isn't a unique thought, obviously, but the reason none of the subversions of Superman work is that Superman is already a subversive concept "What if the most powerful person in the world was actually a maladjusted asshole?" *looks out window* Gosh, wouldn't that suck?

#Superman is in theaters July 11!

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

Is this a love letter to @ansonmount.bsky.social 's Captain Pike on #StarTrek: #StrangeNewWorlds or a News story? Why can't it be both? 🖖 Thanks to @trekmovie.bsky.social screenrant.com/star-trek-st...
