Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

Every week I stand and salute The Ghost in the Shell for its commitment to absolute cartoonery

My favorite part of the screening was overhearing a discussion between two Gen-X lesbians on the way out. "I enjoyed its raucous explicit spirit but he no longer has the je ne sais quoi that he did in the 90s" "susan, none of us have the je ne sais quoi of the 90s anymore"

I enjoyed Gregg Araki's I WANT YOUR SEX primarily because it was amusing to go to the mall & see Olivia Wilde lube up a big pink dildo and stick it in Cooper Hoffman's ass.

Happy 60th Birthday Revolver, and in a months time Star Trek the original series

how is the sex purge movie not just titled 'the urge'

I'll say it I have a soft spot for this episode. "But what of Lazarus?"

She's so Number Nine… Two years after it first aired in Japan, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex received its Adult Swim broadcast on November 7th, 2004. Not sure if it got delayed from a July slot as the ad here seems to suggest it was due for. 📖: Electronic Gaming Monthly, August 2004

I love you too, Robocop

I love you.

Honestly I like the premise of the Sex Purge movie. Yeah the idea falls apart if you interrogate it, but an absurd What If that doesn't bear scrutiny can be narratively interesting! It doesn't have to all hang together or develop the premise logically it can just be a weird dream: a movie.

for the first time in two and a half years, a new note was played in this organ performance today!

Arthouse theatres know to program the Matrix, Bound and Speed Racer and that is all good but maybe also do Matrix Reloaded and Jupiter Ascending. Cloud Atlas could bring a crowd who knows. Much to think about dot dot dot

it's so good that there's a movie with this in it

Alongside ANDOR, THE NINTH JEDI is STAR WARS at its best. Beautifully animated with an all-time great character in Lah Kara, it's a vibrant demonstration of how, rather than remaking animation as live-action, Disney ought to do the opposite. It's stunning 📺 My review: www.avclub.com/star-wars-vi...

Hot take: Chairface Chippendale wouldn't have been able to write his whole name on the Moon because he didn't give himself enough room. The final letters would be all squashed together. You gotta plan your layout first before committing, my man.

Galway coming up with bold strategies to compete with Dublin's gay Spar:

Juro que tem dias que eu acordo pensando nisso aqui:

A youth-led uprising in India stirs hopes of greater solidarity among Indian Dubliners. Late last month, a small group gathered on O'Connell Street to support the "cockroaches" movement that had taken to the streets in their country of birth. www.dublininquirer.com/a-youth-led-...

just goes to prove the old saying: want to make something sound more alien? add a d' in front of it.

The two major alien ships introduced in TNG's first season are some of my favourites and I would argue hold up better today than many of the others that followed in terms of originality and refined detailing. The Warbird is a fan favourite but I feel like the Ferengi Marauder is somewhat slept on.

mass effect 2 loyalty missions be like. fuuuuuuck my dad or kid suuuuucks

I haven't liked a Refn film in quite a long time, but I loved HER PRIVATE HELL, and I tried to figure out why. The film is a fantasy of busted binaries, and characters whose sexuality, gender identity, kinks, and persona are in a state of symbolic impermanence. www.patreon.com/willowcately...

everyone is doing “remember some guys” but for old sitcoms in my mentions, highly recommend this

Whatever you do don’t take me to The Island from The Prisoner! I’d hate to live in a cool rent free apartment full of bold late 60s modern furniture haha noooo a bubble don’t chase me haha

I just watched Rome: Open City for the first time. I haven't watched an Italian neo-realist film in a while and that absolutely reminded me why they're some of the most emotionally and politically devastating films of their era. Anti-fascist cinema is an essential expression of the medium.

Aug 4th 1997 - Skynet, the world's first Automated Defense Network, was activated. 📽️📅 Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

It's true that Tice isn't a big deal (although he is an MP) and that The Telegraph isn't admired for its journalism. We could spend all day minimising it. But it's fair to say if a TD made a remark like this about Britain, it would be a big story and consequences would be expected.

I think we're generally much too chill about how mainstream and normal this weird, obsessive anti-Irish stuff is in the UK. #speirgorm

Maybe their best looking movie? It’s just lovely.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.
