Finally saw Coyote Versus Acme and I have some thoughts: • I love this movie • It speaks directly to our present zeitgeist, where elites are protected by a cruel, indifferent system • Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner are dating • I think they have some BDSM/vore fetish thing going on • Good for them

A still from Coyote Versus Acme. The Roadrunner is running. Coyote is flying past him, mid-rocket-boot-catastrophe, and for a fleeting second he is just close enough to reach out with yearning and eternal frustration to boop Roadrunner's nose.

An important lesson for would-be politicians and incumbents is that if you throw a part of your base under the bus, the rest of the base starts to wonder if they're next and will act accordingly.

absolutely wheezing at an Instagram clip of comic Stevie Martin (who I love from being a maniac on Taskmaster) claiming that Shakespeare only had three plays: 1. “I’m Not a Good Monarch” 2. “I’ll Pretend To Be You, You Hide Behind That Plant, and We’ll Both Marry Her” 3. “The Lion King”

Heartbreaking. Tippett was a modern day Ray Harryhausen. His studio is responsible for special effects in damn near all my favorite movies. Most recently, they did the stop motion animation for the giant droid fight in The Mandalorian and Grogu.

The Mandalorian fighting a giant droid, which was animated by hand using models. This scene whips ass. The practical effects give the entire sequence a beautiful, tactile quality.

Legendary FX animator Phil Tippett is shutting down his studio, which has gone bankrupt 😥 A memorabilia sale is being held this weekend, featuring four decades of production items (Mad God, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, RoboCop, Starship Troopers...). www.berkeleyside.org/2026/08/27/s...

Star Trek TNG, S5E24: Ensign Ro phasers Riker right in the face. Geordi sabotages a funeral. The Romulans violate Zeus' Law. 9/10, this week has sucked so I’m escaping to the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism.... SPAAAAAACEEE

On the bridge of the Enterprise. Data is at his console, stoically pushing buttons. Picard is walking past, his hands clasped beyond his back. Troi is blurry but visible in the background. In blue text, we can see the episode title: "The Next Phase."

Pinhead: [into the camera] It's the Flesh-taker Director: CUT! CUUUUUT! Pinhead: What now? Director: You did it again Pinhead: What did I say? Director: You said "Flesh-taker." It's the "FRESH-MAKER." Pinhead: Right. Okay. Sorry. I got this Director: Mentos commercial, take 45 ACTION!
