I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Years in the making, Kevin Smith’s next film is finally getting released, but only a select few will get a chance to see it. The comedy-horror anthology “KillRoy Was Here” will be available exclusively via 5,555 NFTs.

The “KillRoy” NFTs will be available sometime in the next three months on the Legendao platform. They’ll include the movie, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, a commentary track, and exclusive art. Viewing access to the film will be unavailable to anyone else without the special “crypto key” the NFT provides.

You know what is crushingly sad / hilarious, more than the rest? The bolded part. Someone RETROACTIVELY pulled that last one out of nowhere just so that it explains one microsecond scene in Empire where Vader blocks Han's blaster shots with his hand. Something never needed an explanation other than: Darth Vader is a badass and gently caress you, that's how.

But no, it HAS to be reverse engineered so hard that it's drained out of every drop of coolness your brain was left to imagine.

i always thought the implication of vader's "when i left you i was but a learner; now i am the master" line was that they literally had not seen each other since the clone wars, when obi-wan defeated him on the lava planet. are they going to keep running into each other in this series? ugh.

also there is obi-wan's "now that's a name i've not heard in a long time" line to think about. luke is 18 in the first movie so that's how long it can be between revenge of the sith and star wars, and i assumed that obi-wan went into hiding immediately after dropping off the babies. but now we're gonna find that he has been having adventures at least until luke is 6 or so. when did he get people to start calling him ben? boy i hope they reveal this important information.

the answer is that nobody (in Disney) cares

Severance was fine. I didn’t think the show was perfect (too many scenes of people being confused or extremely passive, not moving a plot forward), but as it went it developed excellent cliffhangers that made it hard to stop watching. But, since it ends on a cliffhanger, wait for it to have a few good seasons, not just one. Watch The Leftovers if you haven’t.

Poor Mike, talking about Picard killing Star Trek for him. I was getting a bit misty eyed watching him explain what Picard was doing to him.

I'm fully in favor of people being afraid of the repercussions for spewing hate speech. More people who are publicly bigoted need to be attacked with knives.

No, that's super hosed up. The rule in general is 'don't rush the stage with a knife,' because if you normalize physically attacking people you disagree with then you will quickly find that people you agree with and support are being attacked as well, and then people stop saying things in public out of fear while violent assholes control everything. Guess what, most people who bring a knife or a gun to a performance probably don't agree with you politically!

Comedians you and I both think are funny say poo poo that will upset people, every day. Same with performers and politicians you also happen to support. This isn't just about 'free speech', this is about being able to be out in public without fear of getting killed for expressing yourself. Dave Chapelle getting knifed and killed on stage is not going to advance any cause you care about.
