I like movies and comics and movies about comics. Also I have a Youtube channel where I talk about such things, usually in podcast form. He/Him. 30. https://www.youtube.com/@TheScarletTroll

all else aside this is some classic dumb guy management, just absolutely stupid time and resource wasting incompetent boss shit

Okay so this is probably me being dumb but when Youtube said you can change thumbnails on the mobile app, I assumed they meant the studio app which I didn't have room for. Turns out I could've been changing it the whole time on my stupid phone. Anyways here's a short. youtube.com/shorts/Q_722...

Me a month ago: "Yeah, Captain America's the perfect Synema Cinergy idea for this month! πŸ˜€" Me editing this video while the last few weeks have been unfolding: "😭" Anyways this hurt internally to make, so maybe give it a watch? Please? It'd mean a lot! youtu.be/jQJp4-qSZ10

Brave New World feels both too apolitical to be Winter Soldier and with not quite enough wow factor to be Civil War, but it's still got enough fun action scenes and good performances where I can't call it a bad MCU movie. I'd watch another Sam Wilson Captain America movie any day.

Probably delayed but I've just realized Youtube's got a whole tab of AI-inspired video "ideas". Melonfarmers I've got a film review podcast. My whole channel has no originality, but if I need ideas I'll steal them from other people like every other algorithm-fearing human being. F*** off with this.

Love Hurts is probably a LITTLE spicier than I give it credit for in this week's short. Maybe add some parsley with that salt and pepper. youtube.com/shorts/CeYBq...

And don't forget to delete your Twitter.

It didn't come up in the podcast but I really think if you put the titles of the two movies we saw this week together you get a line out of a noir movie. *puts on best Humphrey Bogart impression* "Yeah? Well Love Hurts, Heart Eyes." youtu.be/ld5ebYjLrAA

Reposting because (as someone who's favorite thing Bob's ever done is probably the epic Really That Bad dissection of Batman v Superman) this latest vid still really spoke to me, thank you sir.

Apparently I have not fully mastered the art of editing the podcast, Poorly Explained Comics, and Synema Cinergy in the same timeframe yet, so I'm gonna push Poorly Explained Comics back. The Leader episode will be out next week, sorry.

How does the slasher movie end up being the best romantic movie I saw this weekend? Anyways had a really great time with Heart Eyes, it somehow pulls off being a satiric poke at slashers and rom coms while also being a sincere, solid example of both.

Barely a week to-go before the annual Romancing the Gothic charity teachathon! 15th February - it runs all day so people can join from any timezone for at least some of it Sessions recorded so you don't miss out THIRTEEN (13) amazing talks and workshops www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1141089402...

So long, Sony's Spider-Man Universe. You were... nothing if not consistent. (I swear to god if this film franchise isn't actually dead I'm going to flip my lid) www.youtube.com/shorts/2VnS6...

Well that was a fun streak while it lasted. Love Hurts has too many fun little moments and action beats for me to write it off entirely, but the title is ultimately weirdly prophetic because the romance elements are what ends up dragging it down.

Webcomic creators - ComicFury needs our help! ComicFury is basically the last of the old-school webcomic hosting sites and the mod Kyo needs more financial support if he's going to continue. If you host on ComicFury, I encourage you to support Kyo at patreon.com/comicfury or ko-fi.com/comicfury! πŸŠπŸ“–

Technically you could argue Robot Holocaust is on the list and Midnight In Paris is off, but I watched the MST3K episode of Robot Holocaust and not the movie itself. πŸ˜† #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Wow. I think this might be the first January since I started regularly seeing new movies where there isn't an actual dud. Granted I went out of my way to avoid anything I outright didn't care about, but to actually have that option while seeing at least one movie every weekend so far is great.

Alright back to actually skeeting when podcast episodes go up, this week we took a look at the sci-fi thriller Companion (it's really good!)! youtu.be/Bd-tgYR8GQM

I will donate $500 to the first member of the house or senate who whoops Elon’s ass. If can watch it live, a grand.

Huh I always assumed the ICE must be destroyed thing made it impossible for me to even semi-viral because people just didn't like it but maybe I was the only person actually getting censored by the Twitter algorithm because I can do it on here just fine lol Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Alright time for the slow painful journey of trying to be excited for a Captain America movie while... living in current America. Anyways this week's Poorly Explained Comics is about Red Hulk! youtu.be/h9HmyWi-g0w

Me: holds up jeweler's loupe to the trailer 🧐 "... I retain some concerns about the long-term prospects of this team and implications for the Avengers films/post Secret Wars MCU, but on the whole? This has the makings of a damn fine Fantastic Four movie. πŸ‘" www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzMo...

Mildreth of the Night update! Will Mildreth be willing to pay Eagna’s price? mildreth.thecomicseries.com/comics/163/

Listen, Companion, I guess nobody told you this, but this is still January. Movies that might still be in my top 10 at the end of the year don't release in January. I'm gonna need you to either be worse, or rerelease yourself later in the year, please and thank you.

Here are the Democrats who voted to confirm Doug Burgum as Interior Secretary today. They don't think stopping Trump at every turn is necessary. It's all business as usual for them.

Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense. It’s part of his divide and conquer strategy. He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we don’t look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.

Me: "Okay this stream idea isn't happening any time soon, I'm just gonna go back to shiny hunting for the hell of it." *Feebas outbreak* Me: "... Hell yeah. 😎"

Scarlet and Violet really just needed level scaling man. Whats the point of an open world if theres a clear route to doing things..

Not even a month in and I'm already rethinking some of this tier list placement. I'm sure this won't come back to bite me! Anyways I was hoping Presence was going to be good, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I ended up liking it.

Part of me wants to put something else on just so I have a completely new four from last week, but it's my Tuesday and I don't have the attention span, so Tron Legacy gets to carry over.

I swear, this week's short is WAY funnier than the thumbnail makes it look. youtube.com/shorts/ztDG8...

One of the hardest things I've been trying to do is intermingle my follower lists on my platforms to be similar. If I get 150 more of yall on Bluesky to check out my Twitch channel, I'll be at 1k! I think that'd be super sweet if we hit that goal πŸ‘€ if you like my vibes here, def check out my Twitch!

Despite needing to rerecord last night I actually got this week's podcast up on time! Just not with enough time to schedule so it's up a little early even! youtu.be/pvlm2Tb0FU0

Ah whoops, totally forgot, have a Spider-Man themed Poorly Explained Comics. youtu.be/faDedjgHe_8
