DHWU Wants Senior Editors in the Bargaining Unit!

Since the Voluntary Recognition Agreement was signed, Dark Horse Workers United has been working in good faith with Dark Horse Comics to take the next steps toward contract negotiations—but that good ...

Cold take for a niche audience: The Social Reckoning looks to be the most WGA award screener movie ever.

For a SPIN piece: are you a Dad between 25 and 55? If so, would you be game for answering five short survey question on what music you listen to? Also, if you know Dads on the younger end of that spectrum, can you please introduce me? Shockingly, I mostly know Dads in their 40s and up nowadays.

The new Spider-man movie felt like five issues from the early 1990s, down to having a different guest star each issue/30 minutes. For me, that’s a feature.

Underrated aspect of the Tom Holland Spidey movies: their embrace of specifically New York musical artists (Ramones, De La Soul, now TV on the Radio).

Moments I love about this week’s X-Men 97: - Jean and Scott choosing to not let this whole Creed mess interrupt date night. - Every look between Polaris and Bishop - The comic book accurate answer to “What exactly are Exodus’ powers?”, which is “Yes.” (1/2)

One sign that society has become far too prudish: we used to have chocolate that fucks. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5YqX...

A selection of episodes from STAR WARS DETOURS, George Lucas's final, unreleased Star Wars project, will screen at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Tell me your interests and I will find free stuff for you!

It's good to have friends who really get you. Like @bhay.bsky.social, who saw this HUNTER DVD box set in a pile of free stuff on a random street corner, and thought "I know who'd appreciate this." And he was right!

The Menzingers have become a band that is so solidly dependable that they’re actually underrated.

Comic Con folks! Come see me and the fine folks of Great Pop Culture Debate talk Spidey villains! Hear my passionate defense of Hobgoblin! Saturday night at 8:30pm, room 24ABC.

Mile End Kicks is really good and charming. Think a female POV, indie rock, 2010s Almost Famous that’s also a rebuke to the gender dynamics of Almost Famous and music criticism in general. Check it out on Netflix.

One animator put it plainly: “You have no idea how frustrating it is to see press release after press release touting how much money our animated film made and how many nominations we got; then [the studio] turns to people who have worked here forever and says, ‘We don’t need you anymore.’” Heh.

Hollywood Can’t Survive Without Animation. So Why Won’t the Industry Respect It?

Animated films made billions in 2026 while Pixar and Netflix cut jobs. Inside animation's paradox and its long shut-out from the best picture race.

Touch Me is a uniquely funny and unsettling movie that I really enjoyed but can only recommend to like five folks. But those five folks will totally dig it. If you’re curious, it’s on Shudder.

I’d say Chuck Norris can fuck off for appearing in that terrible A.I. Raising Cane’s ad but he’s dead and I already told him to fuck off for being a homophobe.

Latest MCU rumor: Jimothy has been cast as the new Wolverine.

NEW: Months after FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty cast a decisive vote approving Paramount’s historic $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, she and a guest accepted Kennedy Center gala tickets from the company worth more than $12,000.

FCC Officials Took Pricey Gifts From Paramount as the Company Needed Approval for Billion-Dollar Deals

Accepting tickets to the Kennedy Center honors gala compromised the commissioners’ impartiality, ethics experts told ProPublica. FCC Chair Brendan Carr has been gifted at least $63,000 worth of ticket...

Polymarket commercial: “Trust your money with us, a company that is licensing Kanye songs in 2026.”

Just remembered that on top of his wonderful performances, Sam Neill also inspired Kevin Maguire’s original design of DC Comics’ Maxwell Lord!

Not comforting to see precious few differences between our modern world and the one from In the Mouth of Madness. Actually, “people still read novels” might be the biggest distinction.

I’m not sure that “Hey ICE, don’t kill anyone else in the exact same set of circumstances this week” is the solution we need.

Finally, a chance to hear me talk about Spider-man!

It’s Comic-Con time again! Come hear me Tim Seeley, Meghan Fitzmartin, and Jordan Morris debate who’s Spidey’s deadliest foe as part of @gpcd.bsky.social live! It’ll be fun and full of opinions! Saturday, 7/25, at 8:30pm, Room 24ABC.

Somebody’s sibling taking over when they die is a sign of a monarchy, not a democracy or even whatever capitalist representative thing we got going on.

Is this like how Denver the Last Dinosaur is your friend and a whole lot more?

My friend the Michigan Strangler has died. A lot of people only know the Michigan Strangler from all that strangling he did and I understand that, but that is not the full picture of the friend he was to me when he wasn't strangling people. We used to go to Arby's. Rest in peace, "Chokey Boy."

RIP to Sam Neil, an actor who always brought extra charm to all of his performances. He’s iconic in Jurassic Park, he carries its best sequel (Jurassic Park III), and most of all, he is the slowly cracking center of one of my favorite horror movies ever, John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness.
