Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

yeah I enjoy hard sci-fi

While still coasting that Alien Day high, here's my personal rankings (my real hot take here is that the worst of them is still a baseline "fine")

Happy 4/26 Alien Day to those who celebrate! Ripley is the basically the closest thing I have to a saint. www.patreon.com/posts/120616...

One of the billion elements I love about the Alien films is the horror of retrograde civilization. Colonies sent to die, all military is cannon fodder, monk prisoners huddling in the ruins of factories, viable technology only for the rich. The lights are flickering and angels are monsters.

Throughout our relationship, my wife has asked what's up with guys and digging holes. Delighted to now have a source.

*to the tune of California Dreamin'* all the apes are gone

trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

sharing this little old essay I once wrote about David - one of my favorite characters - in honor of Alien Day

Happy Alien day to all who celebrate.

Scorsese likes Mothra 🥰

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Dark Souls 3 is very funny because it posits that being a true hater can give you enough power to survive until the end of time.

Fresh essay from the weekend. The Division 2 is complicated. I’ve found much contentment though not outright love. There's genuine beauty beneath the embarrassing surface. It's even let me create art out of something designed to avoid anything similar. www.patreon.com/posts/passin...

Are The Mountains Goats just REM for millennials

My wife and I have been sent a globe under mysterious circumstances. Will let y’all know if we find a clue therein.

Still haven't stopped hooting and hollering over this album tidal.com/browse/album...

助けて… 助けて…

Happy 70th, Anguirus!

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

My kingdom for an agent to vibe with my witchy western noir novel

This edit was sitting in my brain for years.

You should watch Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight

Inching closer.

OK, let's try this again without the malicious AI Bot attack crashing the site, hmm? From the pits of digital hell, @unwinnable.com brings you the Genuine Unintelligence issue. Still undecided on Gen "AI"? You won't be for long. Buy it ($8): shorturl.at/KshoV Subscribe ($5): shorturl.at/wtAqB

There should be a hefty fine accompanying use of "doggo" in general but especially in relation to talking about Green Room

I have a mouth and absolutely feel like screaming

Richard Linklater if you are reading this I have a million dollar idea: cast them as siblings

Happy Earth Day
