...the pink color scheme, and the "Hello There" sign, as if she decorated it to remind herself to keep her spirits up through the daily grind of being an underappreciated secretary, an extremely relatable touch in an otherwise very fantastical movie. Plus, that yellow chair just looks super comfy.

I've always liked Selina Kyle's apartment in Batman Returns, with the way it conveys that, even though it's a bit cramped and rundown, with the girder on the right side seeming to symbolize the weight of the city coming down on her, it still has upbeat touches like the stuffed animals... 1/2

Yeah, but I get the feeling that calling it "The Texas Semi-Truck Massacre" wouldn't have had the same ring to it.

Wait, so the original TCM didn't actually have a chainsaw massacre in it? Sounds like that movie's a phony... a big fat phony!

Speaking of, I just stumbled upon this interview Buzzfeed did with Ivana Baquero for its 20th anniversary, which I found pretty interesting, especially with how she's gone back and forth with her interpretation of its ending, something I've done myself a couple of times since 2006: shorturl.at/bLKB3

...and the one time they accidentally shoot an innocent guy (who survives), they go way out of their way to exonerate him after initially framing him, all of which felt like an attempt to keep us from turning on the Strike Team too much as viewers, even though they're objectively filthy pigs.

I'd say an aspect of the show that bothers me more is the fact that, besides an incident in the pilot (which was a very unusual case), Vic & company only ever kill crooks (and REALLY BAD crooks at that), and never have any George Floyd-style incidents with an innocent civilian during the series...

Well to be fair, the vaccine stuff was a blink-and-miss-it sub-plot in season four only, which was dropped pretty quickly after it started: youtu.be/vUr8b_81Fa4?...

Did you see this, @deadlyorange.bsky.social?: nerdist.com/article/mst3...

Yes indeed; great show otherwise, but this is the most early 2000's edgelord junk ever, and you just know Kurt Sutter probably thought it was cool, judging from the "edginess" of Sons Of Anarchy: youtu.be/069OoA63I84?...

@stusmallz.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 7:29 AM

Ordered!

@stusmallz.bsky.socialOct 7, 2026, 7:37 PM

Psssh, you can get the exact same feeling just from flying coach for a couple of hours.

Slow rollout zine launch. I can handle a few orders right now. If anyone would like to buy Cartoon Chronology, a new zine on 1930-31 animation, now, DM me. With shipping, it comes to $14CAD for Canadians and approximately $17.50USD for Americans. Sticking to CAN/USA only right now.

My zine opened up, its text partially obscured by the cover of another zine copy on top of it.
@stusmallz.bsky.socialOct 6, 2026, 12:09 AM

Sure, that'd be cool.

Definitely Memento; he could say SO much with just a look in that one:

@stusmallz.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 12:56 AM

Oh, really?

Learning that 1917 (2019) was an inspiration for Resident Evil (2026)'s design, and that makes so much sense.

@stusmallz.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 10:28 PM

Aw, what a cutie; I have a couple of lil' bros at home myself with my Blue Heelers, Mojo & Hercules, and I honestly think they're the best possible company I could have there:

@stusmallz.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 12:52 AM

Cool; I'm pretty much the opposite though, since I've never seen a single one, except for the end of Jason Takes Manhattan when I was about ten when it was on TV, which scared the absolute HELL out of me.
