He Has Special Eyes.

My only knowledge of Promising Young Woman comes from Barbara McClay’s review of the movie on her personal Medium, and she makes the point that despite being billed as a throwback to rape-revenge flicks like Ms. 45, it’s far more reminiscent of something like Taxi Driver. There’s all this weird stuff about Cassie’s behavior that suggests that her quest is borne of the same sort of individual psychopathology that animated someone like Travis Bickle, but the movie isn’t willing to dig too deep into her or let her detonate the way Bickle did.

I’m still wrestling with what I think about Promising Young Woman, but it is weird in retrospect that the perpetrators she did the serious psych-outs on were the female bystanders as opposed to the male bar rapists. (This is an argument for more psych-outs, not less, to be clear.)

In my mind, this is the main theme for the late-’90s modern-fantasy real-time strategy game that depicts Kuvira’s campaign to unify the Earth Kingdom.

Jeremy Zuckerman forwarded me this badass, modern metal cover of his Kuvira theme by ForTiorl. I’m confident a certain badass, modern metalbending militaristic dictator would dig it too.

Ah, the decommissioned Enterprise-A from that Ashes of Eden comic. I wish they’d adapted The Return into a comic. That book did some weird things with the Borg (that were way cooler than what First Contact and Voyager ultimately did with them) that’d make for pretty freaky visuals.

You know she had to do it to ‘em (by “them” I mean “the Teplans,” and by “it” I of course mean “virus-bomb their homeworld with super-HIV as punishment for rebellion, and also because it’s kinda funny”). She’s a real sweetheart, folks.

my new favorite timelines discourse is the recent critiques on the forums about this week’s new artwork, like how the diseased changeling founder’s flakes just don’t look quite flakey enough

Nasty little beastie, but a good doggo nonetheless

Who’s a good ghost doggo?!

Not gonna lie, first time I saw this post I immediately thought of that scene in Prometheus where Fifield splashes the hammerpede’s blood onto his helmet and his visor just melts onto his face which, while not the most horrific way to die, is definitely up there in the top 20.

And in another parallel with Disco Elysium, Kathryn Janeway’s psyche is also composed of 24 self-aware archetypes, 18 of which are actively trying to drive her to destruction.

from what i can gather Disco Elysium is about this guy

Deathloop is a weird one because it takes place in "a possible future" of the Dishonored series. The game is set about 130 years after the first two games on an out-of-the-way island outpost that's been completely cut off from the rest of the world via time nonsense, and while there's enough incidental detail for a Dishonored fan to make the connection, Deathloop itself goes out of its way to avoid namedropping anything from the earlier games.

More games should do the Disco Elysium/Deathloop thing of pretending that they're in our world before gradually revealing that it's a constructed world that has fuck-all to do with our world

INTERIOR - CABIN JEAN-LUC PICARD: You’re...James Tiberius Kirk? Right? JIM KIRK: Yes, I am him. JEAN-LUC PICARD: Why? <puzzled silence> - a scene cut from the shooting script of Star Trek: Generations (1994)

what if after the five year mission, people treat captain kirk like they treat tony hawk?

like people don’t recognize tony hawk unless he has a skateboard, and people don’t recognize kirk unless he’s in uniform
