Jon Bernthal quit The Punisher once. Then Marvel asked him to write it.
During the original Born Again production in 2023, Bernthal walked off set because he didn't like how Frank Castle was being written. An actor with no credited screenwriting experience looked at a Marvel paycheck and said no.
Marvel retooled the entire show. Hired Dario Scardapane from the original Punisher series as showrunner. Bernthal came back. Then during filming he pitched them a standalone special. Marvel reviewed his writing samples and told him to formally pitch it.
He co-wrote the screenplay with Reinaldo Marcus Green, who directed King Richard. It runs 60 minutes, the longest Marvel Special Presentation ever. It carries a TV-MA rating. He's also an executive producer. First credited writing work of his career.
The line he gave in interviews: "I didn't want them to just hand it to me. They've held me accountable to every step along the way."
That's three MCU projects in one year. Born Again. One Last Kill. Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He filmed the Punisher special and then walked directly onto the Spider-Man set and told Tom Holland and the director the character had to feel the same across both.
The actor who had zero leverage in 2019 when Netflix canceled him now has more creative control over a Marvel character than almost any actor in the MCU's history. He got it by being willing to lose the role twice.
Sabe porque foi um tombo gigante pro fã de Harry Potter ver que a JK é uma fdp?
Porque, apesar de ser possível encontrar criticas a obra de Harry Potter - assim como qualquer obra no mundo - os livros >INFANTOJUVENIS< de Harry Potter são obras onde o AMOR é a magia mais poderosa de todas.
Onde um grupo de jovens luta contra um grupo opressor que tem características de fascismo, lutam pela liberdade, por um mundo onde bruxos podem casar com quem quiser, e por um mundo onde ninguém é inferiorizado por ser quem é.
É POR ISSO que a J.K Rowling se revelar a pessoa podre que é foi algo CHOCANTE na época. Porque a história dela era sobre AMOR! Foi uma contradição absurda justamente porque Harry Potter não ensina a excluir ou a odiar. Ensina a lutar por justiça, sem exclusão, e com Amor.
Por isso 450 milhoes de copias foram vendidas. Por isso foi um livro que só perdeu em vendas pra Biblia.
É totalmente possivel reconhecer o impacto da obra sem distorce-la pra caber nos ideais repugnantes e desprezíveis da autora. Até hoje eu penso: Como alguem que escreveu Harry Potter, pensa assim?
É revoltante.
“Here's how I see it. I've got no house, no bodyguard, no movie and I'm being stalked. Because someone wants to kill me? No, because someone wants to kill you. So, now, starting now, I go where you go. So that if someone wants to kill me, I'll be with you and since they really wanna kill you, they won't kill me, they'll kill you, make sense?”
From the girls buying dumb phones to the girls knitting, crocheting, dabbling in the arts, homemaking skills for self study, the cozy gamers, to the analog girls, the bread makers, the gardeners, I love it all. Let’s take it FORWARD to a better time with all the things from the past that really were good for us.
Pânico 3 entendeu tão bem a ironia de ser o 3º filme numa série que satiriza isso. A coragem de se entregar ao camp sem pedir desculpas foi muito mal recebida na época, mas é exatamente ela que permite aqui a autoparódia funcionar sem descaratcterizar os personagens ou o universo
i cant emphasize it enough how much i fucking HATE living in a world where every video i see, i have to question whether or not it's real. i just saw a video of someone cutting a steak that i think might be AI. IT MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE A POWERDRILL TO MY BRAIN TO GET THE BUG OUT
YES big Easter Egg!! The birds were remodeled especially for the movie. An homage to the director, Ralph Eggleston, who was loved by many of us on the team, and passed during our production in 2022. He did some early development paintings for HOPPERS, even when he was sick. 👑💛
Original SLEEPAWAY CAMP writer-director Robert Hiltzik has officially completed the script for the remake of his 1980s slasher movie.
Kenan Thompson will produce the remake, with Hiltzik returning to the director's chair. Stay tuned, campers.
I'm now convinced the issue is their lives are not in enough danger.
let's make all fathers have to run a gauntlet with a danger level equivalent to the mortality rate of the demographic the mother of their soon to be born child when she goes into labor.

Women don’t actually have equality under the law in practice.
If a doctor cuts into your penile body (shaft) during a vasectomy, that is medical battery. You will get millions in a malpractice lawsuit. Any nerves severed will be repaired and sexual function restored.
If a doctor cuts into your clitoral body (shaft) during a labia surgery, including repairs after sexual assault and childbirth, that is “within the standard of care.” You will get gaslit that your loss of function is impossible. You will get nothing. You will be left to live with your injury forever.
This is the real life result of institutionalized medical negligence where clitoral anatomy and female sexual function is concerned.
Because of my advocacy, this situation has changed slightly. However, I still don’t know of a single woman anywhere in the world who has gotten justice for clitoral surgery without consent.
I still don’t know of anyone who has gotten a distal dorsal clitoral nerve repair — I plan to be the first. It’s $35,000 out of pocket because again, we don’t have equality in practice. I’ve been fighting for it for 18 months since I figured out it’s possible to repair old sensory nerve injuries.
I’ve onion since 2018 that women recently harmed could get repaired because I dissected clitorises with my plastic surgeon father. But no one has managed to get repaired despite my efforts to help them. I will because I’m extra pushy and risk tolerant.
Happy birthday to actress Katharine Isabelle! Known by genre fans for her work in GINGER SNAPS, GINGER SNAPS 2: UNLEASHED, FREDDY VS. JASON, GOOSEBUMPS, THE X-FILES, AMERICAN MARY, and HANNIBAL.

The final installment in the saga, HELL HOUSE LLC: LINEAGE is now streaming on @Shudder.
"When people around her die, Vanessa uncovers her connection to the Abaddon Hotel, the Carmichael Manor and murders that have been occurring for decades."
Wow. Big win for science and for every expecting parent who’s ever reached for Panadol/Tylenol and then spiraled down a Google rabbit hole.
A massive, real-world study — 2.4 million births (yes, millions) — found no increase in autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability in children whose mums used acetaminophen during pregnancy.
🔬 Large sample
👩👧👦 Real-lived pregnancies, not lab theory
🧠 Neurodevelopment outcomes tracked long-term
📚 Peer-reviewed in JAMA (not YouTube University)
This is how you answer a question properly:
Not fear.
Not anecdotes.
Data. Lots of it.
Pregnancy is already stressful enough. Good science helps lift weight off people’s shoulders, not add more. 💛
Misinfo culture: “Everything causes autism!”
Science: “Actually we checked. It doesn’t.”
Well done to serious researchers doing serious work.
Science isn’t a vibe. It’s a method.
