If you call yourself a fan of sci-fi, fantasy, and superhero fiction, and yet you don’t see the warning signs that you might be ushering in fascism, then you’re not very smart. You might even be stupid.

Even if you remove The Clone Wars from the equation, I don’t think one can say it’s a plothole in Revenge of the Sith that people across the galaxy accept the rise of the Empire.

I miss when people would read comics and not get hung up on the minutiae of what’s canon and what isn’t after a soft reboot and just accept that some of it happened and some of it didn’t.

Celebrate the birthday of Tom Baker, the oldest living Doctor from Doctor Who, a show that evolves and allows many types of people to see themselves in stories. I will not celebrate “liberation day.”

Celebrate the birthday of the late DeForest Kelley, who as Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy was part of the first Star Trek series, which promoted infinite diversity in infinite combinations. (Continued)

Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day for the dream he professed and the people he inspired. Celebrate the birthday of the late David Lynch, who told people to fix their hearts or die. (Continued)

Any smile I see in this inauguration broadcast is super unsettling to me, ngl.

This might be a hard pill for some to swallow, but the super soldier serum doesn’t make Captain America. It’s all about the heart.

Ending the night rewatching a little movie called Inland Empire. #DavidLynch

@moreofaman_ @smilesinmay It’s 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, and 9-10 all over again. 💔

@smilesinmay Last face 11 saw and first face 12 saw...

he wanted her to be the last thing he saw i’m gonna be sick

Venom Madame Web Venom: Let There Be Carnage Venom: The Last Dance Kraven the Hunter Morbius ^and it looks like someone giving the middle finger, which feels apt.

Only five episodes in but enjoying Schitt's Creek. Johnny and David really look like they could be father and son. As a bonus, their actors have the same last name. (Pronounced differently, I assume.)

@HorrorMovieClb On the Renfield episode, what was Ashvin talking about when he said there was a new Lord of the Rings movie then? Was he thinking of the Dungeons & Dragons movie?

I haven’t seen either of The Hobbit trilogy movies since their original releases, and my memory of them is they felt like if the Attack of the Clones droid factory sequence kept happening too frequently. #Tolkien

For those who want to be aware of newer things: Back in Action is on Netflix, and One of Them Days, Alarum, Wish You Were Here, and Both Eyes Open are in theaters.

@TMaster_36 @stardusthome In Rogue One I always got the vibe that her being on the run means focusing more on practicality and focusing her time and attention on the Rebellion than having to pick more complicated outfits. The Rebels to me always seemed like they had limited outfits they take with them.

@stardusthome She wears her ROTS outfit in Rebels (that does have the medalions) and it looks much better than just like, a toga. Maybe being on the run forces her to dub down her wardrobe but I don't think to one outfit that doesn't change for 5 years lol.

thinking about what kind of galaxy shattering, divorce settling, palpatine chancelloring, that mon mothma's going to suffer in andor s2 enough to make her pull a pixie cut

Universal made the right choice pivoting away from the shared universe model and instead doing standalone new takes on the Universal Monsters. Out of the past five films, the only one I didn’t like was The Last Voyage of the Demeter.

@NebsGoodTakes Imagine if this were the MCU version of Bullseye.

Daredevil (2015) - Episode 3

@gorgeousblondi3 He was all “Bow ties this, bow ties that.”

putting “Doctor Who, (1963-1966)” in my bio. Patrick Troughton is NOT my doctor🚫🚫

Wolf Man (2025) > Nosferatu (2024) IMO
