'80s Roulette is back today with a movie that could never hope to live up to its amazing poster... www.drewmcweeny.com/80s-roulette...
With all my heart and soul, my response is "So what?"
New: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a group of his friends have been secretly using the NYPD Police Academy’s gymnasium in Queens to play pickup basketball — scrambling some operations at the facility. w/ @grahamrayman.bsky.social & Joe Anuta www.politico.com/news/2026/10...
Editor's note: a birth certificate does, in fact, make you an American. Unfortunately, so does institutional racism. Mickey Rooney's stunt double here can go fuck himself.
Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."
Sometimes, I am perfectly happy to take the blame. Look, @sepinwall.bsky.social! Look what we did!

First one I am 100% sure of is BLACKBEARD'S GHOST in a '73/'74 re-release. I am told I thought it was "hilarious," but all I remember is the poster.
First film you saw at the cinema. The real first one, not the pretend one you tell people! Mine: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980, Wigan. We were near the front and I can still remember how massive the AT-ATs looked, looming over us out of the snow :) Film, year, where, and whatever stuck with you.

all of this has always been about getting back at the uppity women who wouldn’t fuck them
“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

Haven't heard it, but unsurprised. Any time I went to Pixar to do press, Lee Unkrich was one of the most personable dudes there. More than that, though, he always had a way of explaining things to people weren't animation savvy that impressed me. Good dude.
So @leeunkrich.bsky.social new audio commentary for The Shining on the Complete Kubrick set is excellent, everything you want in a commentary. Polished without being stilted, informative without just rattling off facts. The good stuff.

I am absolutely LOVING drawing @alexdecampi.bsky.social's great script for Dan Dare: First Contact - it's for sure my new happy place and I think the best work of my career.

Can confirm that this is a real trailer of the Mass Effect game that BioWare was developing up until its closure yesterday www.reddit.com/r/masseffect...
I get why some people wouldn't like this version, but I ain't mad.
I'm on the record as a big fan of the new Mike Flanagan version of CARRIE, and while I'm not going to spoil why or how it's different and new and its own things, I am going to say something I never, ever thought I'd say: I would really like a season two.

Fingers crossed, man. I think the world is ready for a fat 56 year old American Bond.
Apparently there are four Jameses Bond screentesting, and the names of three of them leaked. According to math (or "maths" as James Bond would say), that means you still have a 25% chance of being James Bond! Congratulations!!

"Honestly, if we end up with two hundred and twenty-five seats on the White Council, I would be disappointed. I would rather Sauron keep control of Middle-earth by five seats than have the Fellowship win by five, because then we’d be hostage to the Ents." buff.ly/9WluK1y
Worst President ever, and we've had some fucking humdingers.

Every single time I see the I PLAY ROCKY trailer in theaters, people start laughing when they hear Ippolito's voice as Stallone. I was so skeptical, but this is an earnest, sweet, and genuinely absorbing movie, and Ippolito's performance is a magic trick.

She IS. And they're little BASTARDS, too! Thank you for the kind words, Sarah Gaunt is co-created and designed by @davidmarquez.bsky.social!
@gailsimone.bsky.social has created one of the most terrifying characters in #XMen lore. If you haven't met Sarah Gaunt yet you need to pick up Uncanny X-Men. And it would seem she's putting together her own little team of 'Hellions' to challenge our newly christened New Mutants.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

If you can’t be bothered to write and analyze your own research, step aside for folks who actually want to do your damned job.
Opinion: If AI is now part of academic writing, what should institutions actually evaluate? This essay argues that analytical writing should be judged by evidence, structure, argument, and accountability not by guesses about how each sentence was produced. https://chroni.cl/4eDRdjg
