Over educated fan of comics, science fiction, wrestling, and film. Happy husband and father. Not the professor from Gilligan’s Island.

Probably going to start migrating this direction. I just can't do this here much longer. Being forcefed the opinions of the worst human beings alive is starting to have it's toll.

When I was grad school I was in a lot of classes about technology in society and GitS was a common thing for academics to talk about. But every single paper was about the first movie alone with at most a line like “…an adaption of the popular manga (Japanese comic book).”

[Merry the Smol Milk Coffee loving Dream Demon @MerryXcafe]

>People really complain that "New Ghost in the Shell ruins Motoko".
>The anime is faithful to the original manga.

These tourists literally scream that they never actually read Masamune Shirow's manga.

That's how Motoko is.
Go cry about it.

When I was visiting my in-laws, i was watching Telemundo. My Spanish is about as remedial as you can imagine for taking two years in high school 28 years ago. I couldn’t find Fox on their Fire stick but they had a Peacock sub. And yeah it was fine.

[Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing]

There is reportedly ‘tension’ between Fox, NBC as Telemundo courts English speakers for World Cup https://t.co/dzFfDe8zAm

@TwoSk8boards @letterboxd This is the only one I’ve got but I was clearly not a fan

[Russell Johnson @theaskanison]

I can’t remember what they call them but this is a Best Buy outlet, or overstock store, or something like that. Regular Best Buy’s look the same as always they just replaced movies with shit like drones and e-scooters

[Phere 🐧 🍉 @pheresome]

Half the store looks like this the other half is just phones

[Russell Johnson @theaskanison]

While I thought the actual red card was a bad decision, there was pretty much zero chance this appeal worked normally. Can’t wait to find it in five years what bribes or threats were deployed

Breaking: Folarin Balogun will be available to play in USA's Round of 16 match against Belgium on Monday, FIFA announced.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee has suspended the red card issued to the USA striker during their Round of 32 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

If you are returning from being "cancelled" for showing your penis to people who didn't want to see it, don't have a featured bit of whining like a teenager about unsolicited pleasant conversation.

@USA_Polling

[Russell Johnson @theaskanison]

@staidindoors Those were particularly upsetting because in both cases a large fan contingent guessed who they were and someone in production went "no, they're (whatever fake name they start the movie with)"

[Russell Johnson @theaskanison]

We had The Ghoul in Detroit and during those days I genuinely thought it was this unique thing to us to the point that I assumed Grandpa Fred in Gremlins 2 was a send up of him specifically, then I visited Chicago with my family and saw Svengolie and realized it was everywhere

[Ben Crew @BenjaminCrew1]

The concept of a regional horror host is so endearing. If you were an out-of-towner spending Saturday night in a metropolitan area, you could turn on the TV and see the local maniac introducing one of the worst movies of all time.

@Srirachachau I remember arguing with a friend for Stallone as an auter and when I argued he wrote a best picture winner, his response was "yeah for Rocky" and all I could do is yell "HAVE YOU FUCKING SEEN ROCKY!?"

@ManaByte One of the things I'm surprised to see very little discussion of, that it makes sense to me given Gunn's age, is that it seems to be particularly modeled after that post-crisis view of Superman's relationship to Krypton and Earth that was established in Byrne's Man of Steel

[Russell Johnson @theaskanison]

For some reason, all I can remember about Greenspan was there was a Flash animator circa early 2000s who animated viral stuff like the Yata song who also used those videos to clearly show they fucking hated Greenspan.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Alan Greenspan, a skilled political operator who served as chairman of the Federal Reserve through prosperity and crisis, has died at 100. https://t.co/S8pHRWadf1

Back in 2002 I blind bought a copy of this because I was super into anime and buying from a speciality realtor and despite it being live action was the big new release. No regrets and it become a favorite in my friend group.

This isn't even the coolest fight in the movie I just love the sword over the eye shot

[Russell Johnson @theaskanison]

Really weird to have Auntie Ann’s here inviting in soft pretzels and not include Philly Pretzel Factory (I’ve seen as far away as the Carolinas) and Wawa.

[BuccoCapital Bloke @buccocapital]

Everyone always talking about “talent density” in Silicon Valley when we really should be talking about how 80% of pretzels in America come from a small region of Pennsylvania
