Mel Gibson should play RFK Jr in the Pure Flix biopic that I just made up in my head.

Here's a bad comic book joke: Why did Speedy become communist? Because the sign said...

Julia with Fiona Dourif on The Pitt

From The Pitt tonight

Some real Gene Hackman ownage. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLhU...

95 year-old guy, sure. But with 63 year-old wife and dog? And "no foul play suspected"? nypost.com/2025/02/27/e...

My wife Julia is on the next episode of #ThePitt on #Max! Here she is getting her clothes cut off. Tune it at 6pm pacific!

There's only one place you're going to find my review of #TheMonkey, and it's on the @outnowpodcast.bsky.social thecodeiszeek.substack.com/cp/157986922

Hey hey, it's #TheMonkey, and @walrusmoose.bsky.social and I were joined by @lytrules.bsky.social on @outnowpodcast.bsky.social to monkey around discussing the film. Enjoy! tinyurl.com/y79npf7c

Be careful and beware, #TheMonkey is upon us, and guest @lytrules.bsky.social joined in to discuss the horror-comedy from director Osgood Perkins. Take a listen! tinyurl.com/697j6ta7

Anyone want to guess what my next published article will be?

This is gonna mean my cousin from England can't legally come to visit. How crazy is it that it's come to that.

My whole take on it is (A) Rachel Zegler is a delight and you guys are weird about her (B) I don't care about a SNOW WHITE remake because I'm an adult (C) the outrage grift is embarrassing and everyone involved in it should feel bad about themselves.

I've been sent a few things out of #Slamdance to look at, and here is one of them: lytrules.substack.com/p/slamdance-...

LEMON POPSICLE - popular film franchise when I was a kid, seemed like it had a new sequel every year for eight years, and nobody even thinks about it any more. LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN was a remake of the first film, but that fact is rarely mentioned either.

When you get old enough that starts to happen naturally.

Now this…? The Terminator was meant to be a fictional warning about avoiding this scenario in the future, rather than our current reality. futurism.com/pentagon-pla...

Here's a list of 15 good sci-fi movies on Netflix right now that I did (though Interstellar was my editor's choice): www.slashfilm.com/1791238/best...

It's a good thing Rush Limbaugh is dead, for many reasons, but one is you just know he'd be given a cabinet position right about now.

Whatever happened to the cast of 1994's Wyatt Earp? Well, i got assigned to find out. A lot of them are still famous. www.slashfilm.com/1796440/what...

I can't help feeling like I had the tiniest bit of influence on the #MOTU movie. here's why: lytrules.substack.com/p/i-told-tra...

I hit the Cocoon-Brimley line sometime next month, but tonight I hit the "Put my glasses in the fridge by accident" line. Makes sense they'd be close.

Fun times talking all about #TheMonkey and more with @walrusmoose.bsky.social and @lytrules.bsky.social for @outnowpodcast.bsky.social #WeveGotToMakeLikeEggsAndScramble

"Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?" Lorenzo Semple Jr. nailed it with that line.

The latest roundup of what I've been reading online lately includes a trans Kurt Cobain theory that I think has some merit. lytrules.substack.com/p/weekend-ro...

I've avoided anything Jordan Peterson related for years, so it surprised me to see him on a video just now being a red-faced rage case who seemed to be on something. Always used to seem like politely and quietly saying bigoted things was his shtick.

Both parts of the Watchmen animated movie are on Max now. I really liked the first one. Assuming part 2 is as faithful, we finally have a Watchmen movie that works with the HBO series.

Begging social media outlets to stop recommending "nerd" hosts who think they're celebrities to me. Had my fill of those for a lifetime. Actual GOOD WRITERS who are on camera sometimes can stay.

ART SPIEGELMAN: DISASTER IS MY MUSE is not the sort of "comic book movie" a lot of the sites out there will cover, but the doc has a shot at being the best of them this year. My review. lytrules.substack.com/p/art-spiege...

Stay through the end of credits of The Monkey. you won't know WTF you're seeing at first, but you'll be glad you did.

Jeez, it's almost as if the Internet created a completely false dichotomy.

Post an image of a king who'd be preferable to Trump.

did this one a month ago, just saying www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
