I always withhold the benefit of the doubt when the accused has to throw in some notion that their accuser is medically/mentally incapable of delivering the truth.

Is it bad that this doesn’t surprise me in light of him sticking with his super problematic wife for so long?

I've been watching the...sigh...Skywalker Saga....in order over the last few weeks and am ready to lob a flaming-hot take into the room: beyond proper nouns (names, species, planets) there are very few, if any, made-up words in Star Wars' OT (and most of the made-up ones, like Droids, have a...

Yeah, I reached for that example because it's an especially stark contrast; I'll have to watch the rest of season 3, but I wonder if this is the same show that served a kids' birthday party xanax-laced ecto. 😅

Watched the first ep last night; it was excellent. I did find myself wondering at how the show's evolved; the tonal difference between this episode and the pilot with the Ballbreaker machine is quite a gulf.

…all July dates have been canceled due to multiple illnesses in the group. This sucks rat nards.

I…I like the Chris Cornell song

Ok I just tried the anchor for the first time and it’s pretty fun.

maybe I gotta read up and watch a video or two but the two-handed move set for that sword just feels like the one-hand attack, save for I’m holding a spare sword in my shield hand; I don’t do a right-left, one-two attack but rather one, one, right, right.

I've been hacking my way through a fresh Elden Ring playthrough and am up to level 90 and (stuck at) the flame giant guy. By the time I'm through to handle Shadow of the Erdtree I'm gonna be burnt out (that's a lie; I'll never burn out on Soulsbourne games apparently). I have a NG+2 (or 3?)...

I think Life Aquatic showed some wobbliness (the maudlin tone is really at odds with the deep-sea adventure aesthetic, and the Ned storyline is a little weird!) and only revisited Darjeeling once but it carried a similar set of obtuse emotional scars in tandem with a somewhat-uncomfortable...

There are already huge issues with Disney (maybe other studios as well) writing in long theatrical runs into their contracts; if a theater licenses a new release they're obligated to run it for a certain amount of time, which isn't necessarily a good business decision and requires the theater to...

For me the midichlorions are the least egregious holdover; even Georgie seems bashful about the topic post-Phantom Menace. What I find nuts are the absolutes; at one point Anakin insists “Jedi don’t have nightmares.” Like…that’s some wild control over one’s subconscious, and quite a thing to be...

Dazed and Confused and Close Encounters are my big summer watches; the former because of the setting, the latter out of pure habit. Spider-men 1 and 2 feel like summer mostly because I have fond memories of seeing them right on the tail of last days of school.

I've been watching the prequels over the last couple weeks and it's wild how Lucas made the choice to depict the Jedi as a committee of out-of-touch loser cops. Even wilder that everyone who's come through since has adhered to that depiction.

One episode in and:

there was an extremely forced joke on this week's ep of The Watch podcast with one host singing "Acolyte" in a so-so impression of Dave Matthews singing "satellite" and I'm afraid it now lives in my bones.

How I think I look: How I actually look:

heh heh I'm unironic and unforced in my love of Drag Race. It definitely felt like this last season was a failed Sandoval redemption arc, which I was really impressed with Ariana for standing strong against. Schwartz's treatment of Jo managed to make her sympathetic, which was quite a feat. I...

....does anyone watch anything in/around the Bravoverse? I crash-coursed my way through Vanderpump Rules earlier this spring and in the wake of the latest season ending was curious if anyone here had thoughts. Because I'm composing a dissertation.
