more importantly, the summer movie wager swings wildly in @germainlussier.bsky.social @davechen.bsky.social @devindra.bsky.social 's favor
literally every story about this accursed event would be rejected by any editor for its symbolism being too on the nose
<knocks on door> have you heard the good news about Calgary? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_con...
you know Lois Lane and Lana Lang, but what about Superman's mermaid love interest Lori Lemaris?
there a couple no-brainers (borg, pluribus) so i'll go with the cluster from Sense8. they're eight individual human navigating individual lives, who are nevertheless psychically linked. they communicate with each other and can draw on each others memories and abilities from afar.
Smax the Barbarian, a comic by Alan Moore & Zander Cannon, has an annoying singing sword that he forbids from singing. as they're both heading into the certain doom (the cave of an all-powerful dragon), it decides to pipe up one last time... Moore rarely gets credit for how funny he is.
Operation: Galactic Storm. earth stuck in the middle between two heavy hitter galactic empires (Kree /Shi'ar) that had never interacted much. Avengers books were my faves & it brought their series together into a tightly plotted story where each chapter moved things forward, with lasting follow-ups.
even if another temporarily enchants me with its brilliance, i always come back to Princess Mononoke
the 2005 comedy slasher film Santa's Slay: "After a millennium of spreading Christmas joy due to losing a bet with an angel, Santa Claus reverts to his demonic self and gives the gift of evil and fear. The film stars [wrestler] Bill Goldberg..." 10/10, no notes
Drew Struzan made everything look cool. I was shocked when I realized (much later than I should have) that he had a whole career as an album artist before finding wider recognition with movie posters.
after so many duds among the many Star Wars shows (Andor excepted), and with the heavy "kids adventure" bent that Skeleton Crew seemed to be angling for, i didn't hold out much hope. perhaps it was the lowered expectations, but i am enjoying it, esp. when Jude Law's rogue is bouncing off the kids.
