DOLLY (2025)
She immediately races up onto podium position, next to IN A VIOLENT NATURE's Johnny, in the "new slasher villians I could watch five movies of" competition.

The basic pitch of the first movie is "what if a documentary crew followed Michael Myers around?"
The trailer for the second one makes it very clear Johnny is fulfilling a Jason Voorhees-ian role this time. Literally attacking a summer camp.
Consider me pre-sat.
Tonight I got to see the trailer for In A Violent Nature 2 and I'm so thoroughly hyped I would preorder a steelbook RIGHT NOW.
Dolly (2026) is...
Interesting.
Pirated clips on YouTube Shorts is the optimum way to watch The Blacklist.
From that perspective, it's exclusively a show about James Spader doing evil Columbo monologues, sassily arguing, or shooting people. You NEVER see a clip from The Blacklist without Spader in it.
The man is a happily-married mentor to a hard-working autistic woman. AT BEST they will be friends who have one (1) beer together a year.
The kind of work relationship where in 20 years Mel will still call him a "colleague."
Shipping Dr. King and Dr. Langdon is such a non-relationship that even the show itself is like "... no."
"Ready to take the next step in taking care of your mental health? We're not!"
Few things are as darkly hilarious as clicking "view mental health counseling resources" on the provider page of your health insurance and the link's dead.
Having a NAS is so freeing but, yes, the parts situation is dire.
Genuinely the best bet right now is finding RAM at rural Walmarts and whatnot that haven't adjusted their prices yet, or trawling Facebook Marketplace for tech containing drives/parts you want.
A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision.
Always a good time these days to repost this slide from an IBM internal presentation in 1979.

POV: You just rented a horror movie on a whim in the early 2010s and you've just realized you've made a huge mistake
Black trans women are the most marginalized in our community — so yeah, watching one be sidelined or erased in the narrative feels painfully familiar.
If people actually care about protecting Black trans women instead of just erasing us, there are ALWAYS real ways to help. 🥺⬇️ x

BLACKBERRY (2023)
A movie about an incredibly unbelievable hairpiece and an incredible bald head selling a phone.

I read this book twice and it feels samey now???
Hey Sam Reich. While you're at it scooping up indie comedy legends for Dropout: get on the horn and get us a proper TV version of Superego.
Every now and then you see an influencer or streamer of a mental fortitude that makes it clear you could, in the right conditions, convince them West goes to the right and East goes to the left for European maps.
As someone who has enjoyed the hell out of the show: FUCK YES.
Go out on top, king.
e-x-act-ly
I know it was like a decade ago but I still maintain everyone on that stage and everyone on the Internet were assholes to that kid who asked how many gigs of dedicated ram you should have for a Minecraft server.
There are Cop Shows that absolutely are copaganda, and then there are Mystery Shows that have cops in them technically that kind of are predicated on the idea cops are bad at their jobs.
High Potential, Columbo, Monk, they all need the LAPD to be bad at their jobs.
If I was a full time content creator I absolutely would park whatever project I was working on and quickly watch all of The Rookie to make a video essay about whether it's effective copaganda or not by the time the Dropout crossover episode comes out.
That's a free like.... $20 in ad revenue.
Gawain the green knight opening a letter sealed with wax
Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."
A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."
Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."
Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.
Now that I've seen Nirvana The Band the Show The Movie and I'm going back to watch through the web series, I love the running bit of Matt always being bowled over that Jay can run circles around him musically.
I might make a habit of Skyrdle which is bad news for people who like Skyrdle 'cus these types of things tend to die off/get worse once someone as late to the party as myself shows up.

I know it's a meme to be like "the damage of [unserious thing] will set us back decades" but, genuinely, newbies thoughtlessly replicating the motions of 2010s influencers holding up the mic on their wired earbuds has set back video-making for quite some time.
I'm most of the way through season one of Succession and two thoughts prevail:
1. The theme is incredibly good.
2. We're using the unmodified theme a liiiittle too much. I don't need it every shot of a helicopter.
Sneaking the melody into otherwise different background music? Excellent stuff.

Happy Twin Peaks Day, everybody.
Alright, y'all had your chance. I have limited replies to people I trust to actually be funny with their joke replies.
