on a less comic note: if the film press doesn't ever run a single piece about how an original IP with a Black lead that is simultaneously high-concept and incredibly dramatic came about on the tail end of both the writer/director and the lead being shafted by Marvel, I will be quite livid
Brandon O’Brien@therisingtithes.bsky.social · 2d agothis trailer dropping just days after Mahershala Ali said he's no longer talking about the legendary fumble of Marvel not making Blade? Feige hadda be sleepless every night after this one if I was Bassam Tariq I would done have billboards up going THIS IS WHAT MARVEL TRIED TO STEAL FROM YOU!!!!
It's always depressing when a modicum of talent allows some people to launder their reputation so successfully.
I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
When I was in that London at the beginning of July I wandered down South Bank and passed the Covid Memorial Wall. It's not a short wall.
🇵🇸 Dean Tāne 🇵🇸@dean-tane.bsky.social · 3d agoAll I’ll say about this COVID revisionism from The Sensibles is they conveniently forget 227’000+ died in the UK. Every iota of that statistic was someone with family, friends, dreams, and a life (no matter how long or short) abruptly ended due to shocking incompetence and corruption from the state
Rather than rage at women clinging to the hope of good men, why are the good men not raging openly about predators in their midst? Shunning them. Calling them out at every opportunity. Not as 'fathers of daughters' but as men. The problem does not lie with women. It lies with turning blind eyes.
Thoughts on the dead singer. Yesterday, my middle aged straight hairy biker son went on one on social media about the dead singer and those eulogising him. He did not hold back. What was unusual was that he took to social media to vent knowing it would attract vile bile. I asked him why.

On my 100th listen to You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl so in Love in 3 weeks.. I will learn all the lyrics by the time she eventually puts on a show in Ireland.
I really enjoyed Brand New Day. Although the product was placed with very little subtlety.
I am here for the Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock

If you have five minutes today and want to understand how lost and let down our young people are- look up “work experience in UK” and see how many virtual platforms exist. Then look at how much information they want and how much data they share with third parties. No one cares about young people.
Me: *sighs wistfully* Wife: what’s wrong? Me: just thinking about— Wife: Michael Collins’s wolf slippers? Me: yeah Wife: Me: *sigh* Wife: they’re really good slippers Me: so fucking good
Saw The Odyssey. Broadly liked it. I did feel the yen to replay Hades 2.. Also, wouldn't a 1980s style cartoon of The Odyssey be great (something like Mysterious Cities of Gold).
How did I not know Mike Flanagan was making a Carrie miniseries?? I am there!
I always forget how much food Lee's Charming Noodles gives you. Stuffed now
this is such a good and astute way to put it; so much gender critical feminism seems to stem from the belief that being a woman is a uniquely awful thing, and I mean no one's arguing that living in a patriarchal society as a woman is always a riot but what a depressing and pessismistic view of life!
Dr Jo Kershaw@mthrjo.bsky.social · 2w agoSo I think deep down they *have to* assume trans women are acting malignly, because they can’t imagine wanting to be a woman, while there seems to be a tendency see trans men as either failing to understand that it’s normal to be miserable about being a woman - or as traitors letting the side down.
Trying to figure out what's happening in the world cup by the sounds from the nearby Brazilian party house.. They are shouting for Spain.

Fuck this future ! What the actual fuck is happening.

Vinted is dangerous - had a slight inclination to get cowboy boots in advance of the CMAT Belfast gig and 2 seconds searching and I've bought a pair.
Gonna start a campaign for talking areas in gigs. If you want to talk about your holiday plans through more than one song then you need to go to the talking area and let those of us who actually want to hear the band actually hear the songs!
Seeing the Peter Serafinowicz Harry Potter announcement just made me think, once again, about this excellent James Acaster bit from Off Menu.
Matthew Dow Smith@matthewdowsmith.bsky.social · 2mo agoHey, UK acting people, it would be great if you just came out and said you were totally cool with transphobia instead of making us all wait for the slow trickle of casting announcements for projects with the very openly transphobic lady to know that you suck.
