Last week when we were talking about “mean” movie reviews, I don’t think anyone mentioned Roger Ebert’s amazing takedown of the 1996 space gangster comedy, MAD DOG TIME, starring Richard Dreyfuss, Jeff Goldblum, and a lot of other big actors

"Mad Dog Time" is the first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time. Oh, I've seen bad movies before. But they usually made me care about how bad they were. Watching "Mad Dog Time" is like waiting for the bus in a city where you're not sure they have a bus line.What were they thinking of? Dreyfuss is the executive producer. He's been in some good movies. Did he think this was a script? The actors perform their lines like condemned prisoners. The most ethical guy on the production must have been Norman Hollyn, the editor, because he didn't cut anybody out, and there must have been people willing to do him big favors to get out of this movie. "Mad Dog Time" should be cut into free ukulele picks for the poor.

I'll make a real process post at some point, but for now sharing a little BTS of our optical glass matte shot. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma's theatrical release is this week, next week for some. See you at the movies!

If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com

Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

Damn. This is so disheartening. Judge Mehta has dismissed the Seditious Conspiracy charges against the Oath Keepers.

Adam Klasfeld@klasfeldreports.com · 21h ago

"Reluctantly," a federal judge dismisses the Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy cases. Trump DOJ "excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle." "The court cannot write a different ending," he adds. buff.ly/NvVKnaW

This is the last of the prosecutions seeking to hold accountable those responsible for the events of January 6. That book is now closed. Today’s epilogue diminishes the gravity of that day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and law enforcement officers who secured these convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle. The court cannot write a different ending.

Well that was really quite beautiful. Highly recommend it. ‘The Ballad of Wallis Island’ An eccentric lottery winner hires a folk duo who split years ago to perform for him on his island.

I fully endorse Mark Swift and think he would bring a lot of great experience and perspective to our board. WGA folks, it's worth your time to read his platform. He's the kind of writer we want representing us.

Shannon & Swift@shannonandswift.bsky.social · yesterday

Hey WGA members! Mark Swift here, and you may know I'm running for the board. If you know me you know I care about writers and want more of us steadily employed. I would love your endorsement. Click at the bottom of my statement here. Appreciate your consideration! elections.wga.org/2026/mark-sw...

1000% this. That's what I said when people make the argument that we should stay on Twitter and not give up pur posts or some shit. I didn't enlist. This isnt the French Foreign Legion. I'm here to chat with friends.

Quite literally the reason most of us are here - the robust muting and blocking tools. This isn't about being in an "echo chamber", it's that this is NOT my fucking job and NOT my fucking duty to be here. This is RECREATION. I don't want to deal with bullies and assholes while having fun.

They were careless people … they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

Instagram handle @rejectness “like clockwork, he takes something over, ruins it, gets bored and then moves along. everything he touches dies.” Quoting a tweet from Joe Flood @ @joeflood: “Trump has given up on the Reflecting Pool, which remains dry” with a photo of the drained, dried up reflecting pool.
