Drop some computers.... Speak 'n' Spell!... the original, with the RAISED round buttons! I loved this thing... but it DID have a built-in error: It would say, "Spell 'relief,'" and, obviously, I'd spell it R-O-L-A-I-D-S. And it would *mistakenly* tell me i was wrong! Wth! ('80s kids'll get it!😁)
Drop some computers... Penny's "computer book" from Inspector Gadget. I wanted this SO BADLY as a kid!! inspectorgadget.fandom.com/wiki/Penny%2...
COMPLAINTS: A few moments of overdone foley sfx (happens in almost every action movie), crooked cop attends a gangster funeral (no way), Ben McK wasted, last 2 mins were dumb. Starts w/last scene & flashbacked.🙄 GOOD STUFF: Nonstop action, fun twists, some CRAZY sh!t,no dialogue/all music & emotion!
I was wrong about the below. There are TWO highlights in THE GOOD PLACE (which is mostly amazing but loses its way for a few episodes here and there & somehow KEEPS righting itself), and the 2nd highlight is THIS!...... D'Arcy Carden as...EVERYONE!...
I just rewatched 13 episodes of THE GOOD PLACE *solely* to see this moment in context. Ted Danson's laugh here is not only extraordinary, but it WASN'T in the script -- it was Danson himself who suggested that Michael's turn HAS to have a laugh to punctuate the moment, & it IS the series highlight!!
BTW... It had to be said. TRICK 'R TREAT's somehow become a horror-fan fave, and it's just an absolute snoozefest. I'll take AHE's rampant misogyny and contextless fantasy over being bored any day! #Horror #HorrorFam #HorrorMovies #HalloweenMovies #Film
I dunno how people have time to watch 4 movies in a wk. Here's my 🎥🎬 #LastFourWatched — which is 2 short. And this is over the last 2 wks. I've still got MOTOR CITY rented & haven't even started it yet. 🤷♂️ #LetterboxdFriday Come find me @letterboxd.social — i need people to follow‼️: @Keith10Pages

Real talk right here. Might I also add that the everyday use of sword and shield need to go? Making those part of her standard gear was an embarrassing failure of imagination, makes her more generic “strong female character trope” instead of leaning into what makes WW unique.
Darwyn Cooke's decision to make Wonder Woman taller than Superman in New Frontier is one change that needs to stick. Cooke's WW is perfect.
My mom once walking thru an airport saw Laverne & Shirley dad (well, Laverne's) Phil Foster lugging his bags. This was at the show's PEAK. She said, "I thought big stars have people do that for them." And he replied, "Big stars do!"🤭🤣 She also once (accidentally) had dinner w/Hayden Christensen!
While the below IS a problem, what no one EVER talks about is the DISAPPEARANCE of innocent Jack-o-Lanterns‼️EVERY yr, 100s of pumpkins undergo painful surgeries to be smashingly FUN Jack-o-Lanterns🎃❕ Yet, by Nov. 2 they're GONE⁉️Not possible! Politicians & celebrated TV chefs should LOOK INTO THIS!😈

Admittedly controversial take: An incredibly brilliant framing device is FULLY WASTED when...it DOESN'T frame! Movie never gets back to it. Plus, lab-based body horror of the 1st flick becomes more fantastical (& puerile) w/the tiny people. And the Bride isn't met until the last 5 mins. I hate it.🫤🤷♂️
"The air itself is filled with monsters." *Elsa Lanchester (as Mary Shelley) with Douglas Walton (as Percy Shelley) and Gavin Gordon (as Lord Byron) in BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN, 1935.
P.S. I was hoping Gyllenhaal's "THE BRIDE" was going to give us a better take on ALL of that btw. I've admittedly not seen it yet, but that's b/c it keeps getting pushed down on my list as horror fangirls I know keep telling me how "meh" it is. P.P.S. Can't recommend SON OF FRANKENSTEIN enough!
I'm in the vast MINORITY on this, but i despise Bride. From the miniature people and crazy professor to the unfinished story of Mary Shelley who starts off sharing the tale, it's a mess imo. Now, SON OF FRANKENSTEIN... THAT movie is amazing! Tim Burton's entire aesthetic came from this.
#Man-ThingMonday part 3 (of 3) These beautiful creepy & moody panels by Liam Sharp... written by none other than J.M. DeMatteis -- from their much-too-short-lived series! (The post below this is actually from a few months ago -- the other 2 Man-Thing Monday posts from today are in my TL.)
More #Man-ThingMonday‼️ By Liam Sharp (man, I really loved this short-lived book!)

Oh hey I guess the announcement is out - MONSTERS, MAKEUP & EFFECTS: VOLUME 3 is being released in December & you can preorder here: darkinkbooks.com/store/p/pre-... I’m pretty much on my own promoting this so I would really appreciate shares, etc. because I just want people to hear these stories.

Started another comic book; if you make a list of TROPES to avoid, PLEASE get it to this writer ASAP! It opens w/a flash-fwd of 2 heroes fighting, then we get the "3 weeks earlier," then a sad boy asks dad about life & dad recounts drama which ends w/a woman saying "Come w/me if you want to live."👁️🗡️
Um...I'm reading a comic book, & there's a line saying the people in the city stagnate for decades and watch "cycles of inertia." How does NOTHING have cycles? Ans.: It dsn't. It's a string of gobbledy-gook meant to sound cool. OMG, the writer does it again later🤦♂️, saying Prussia was a "creature."
