For some reason he never got as popular.

The soldier guy? Didn't he turn out to be an emotionally abusive slutshaming rear end in a top hat?

I'm happy when video makers find their voice, usually around the time they get better microphones. Civvie did a remake of his Blood 2 video and the sound quality and delivery of his script is night and day.

He was so boring I forgot everything about him.
Of course Whedon would try to make him more interesting by giving him those character traits.

He ended up 'cheating' on her or some poo poo by going a vamp house to get sucked on because he felt insignificant since his lifelong training and experience still made him a joke compared to her.

It's funny, I was talking to someone today about the Snyder Cut and how there's no way you can't trim down such a long movie, which led to me thinking of 2005's King Kong for the first time in years. And lo, Caravan of Garbage hit it today as well!

much like the fact that they made a film with far from home's plot and DIDN'T have it end with someone destroying the loving war crime glasses jesus

The war crime glasses are here to stay, they'll never get rid of them. A city got invaded by aliens and they were ready to nuke it, they'll never deescalate their military hardware.

Really the biggest blessing was that the original video had some crazy bad audio balance, Civvie was really quiet and the video was really loud or the other way around, it's been a bit.

The insect pit scene is the only real memorable part of the movie because it is so legitimately horrifying, doubly so because it comes right out of nowhere in a movie that had otherwise not been all that scary up to that point. And then Andy Serkis screams in mortal terror as his head is slowly devoured by the distended maw of a 12 foot long leech.

Peter Jackson can go get hosed. Lindsay Ellis did a pretty good run down on how he hosed over the New Zealand film industry so he can get his precious, precious Hobbit movies that sucked a gently caress anyway made.

gently caress him, that lying scab. Hope those poo poo movies were worth it, mate.


Edit: I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at Peter Jackson, and the poo poo that he was allowed to get away with, by the corrupt-as-gently caress government at the time, and a broken-as-gently caress 4th estate that was too busy cheerleading for a tory Prime Minister instead of, you know, doing actual journalism, is still infuriating.

Spider-Man orders the drones to self-destruct once he gets the glasses back. Him telling the AI to "execute all of them" (as in, execute the self-destruct command) is what Mysterio/his surviving allies use as footage to make it seem like Spider-Man was using the drones to kill civilians.

edit: Actually, I misremembered. He's executing cancellation protocols, not self-destruct. So yeah, good going Stark.

Swell Entertainment: There’s a cult on tiktok

Based on the title I assumed she was just going to be talking about a cultlike group organizing themselves over Tiktok, but no; it’s about an actual, real-world cult that just happens to post stuff on there.

The second I heard the word “commune” I knew there was gonna be some creepy poo poo involved but I was not prepared for the cat-killing. These people seem like they’re about an inch away from building a wicker man, although with them also being covid-deniers they might not even have to go to that trouble to kill their visitors.

noname's a really good rapper, poet and activist. All of this started on Twitter because she pointed out that a lot of her white fans will listen to her work but ignore pretty much every message she puts out there. Naturally this has lead to a bunch of caustic white people's fee-fees to get hurt and now she's gotten a target on her back.

Danny Gonzalez has been playing Minecraft for the first time (and in general I'm pretty sure he doesn't really play video games) and it's been a joy watching him figure the game out

First episode is on his second channel (if you think it's his first channel, you're wrong, it's his second channel, where he gets a little crazy and drinks Lacroix), then after that he made a third channel for his stream VODs, which right now only consist of Minecraft:

1) I poo poo on the comic a bit
2) Who wants to hear about politics? Anyone?

This reminds me that I went to a Metallica concert back in 06, when they were touring with Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium. It was the first, and the worst, concert experience I ever had. After the one-two punch of St. Anger and this tour, my love for Metallica died. (Except for the S&M album, that poo poo will always be good)

By the time St. Anger came out I was already hoarding mp3s (Ulrich's best efforts and all) and not really buying CDs much unless they were from my top favorite bands.

But I remember still going to used-CD stores and seeing -piles- of that album around. It was that classic work that sold big on hype, most people discovered they could not listen to twice, and dumped somewhere for a buck.

And my big time Metallica-fan friends had already gotten disappointed by Load, so it was a bit of a long one-two punch for them. "Yuck, they sound so trendy and stuff, I wish they were raw and heavy again! -intermission- Ooof, they sound like rough crap now! I'm not 15 anymore!"
