you're in the Criterion Closet talking about your favorite Bergman; I'm in the Vinegar Syndrome Exploitation Oubliette and they haven't fed me in two days. we are not the same

what do you mean you're a 90s DC punk band yet you don't have anything on bandcamp? literally the only way to listen to these songs outside of full album youtube videos is to buy a 30 year old CD??

I like this album but at points it does sound like a post-hardcore band fronted by spongebob

A black and white photograph of Elaine May standing on a rooftop. She is looking to her right with a smile, leaning against a large professional motion picture camera mounted on a tripod. Below the rooftop, a busy city street is visible, filled with cars and pedestrians.

A black and white, medium-shot portrait of Elaine May. She is sitting in a chair with one hand resting under her chin. A trail of smoke rises from the cigarette she is holding in her hand.

A black and white photograph of Elaine May wearing a white wedding veil and a lace-trimmed dress, crouching while looking through the viewfinder of a large "General Camera". She has her hand on the camera's control wheel, appearing focused on framing a shot.

A black and white promotional headshot of Elaine May with dark, styled hair and a wide, bright smile. She is wearing a light-colored cardigan with a fur collar over a dark lace top, looking slightly away from the camera.

Wishing a very happy birthday to the singular genius Elaine May—a groundbreaking writer, director, and actor of the stage and screen. ❤️🎞️ You can watch our edition of her 1976 masterpiece MIKEY AND NICKY now on the Criterion Channel!

I can't even imagine the catastrophic discourse that would result from gamers experiencing the ending of Perdido Street Station

this is reminding me how I used to fantasize about that original team making a pitch-perfect game adaptation of China Mieville's Bas-Lag series

saw it last week and I don't want to spoil anything, but it is very much a return to Boots Riley's early 90s form of rapping lines like "won't get no callouses/cause I'm spitting dialectical analysis", which is, at the very least, a very funny thing to do with billionaire money

reads like the "about us" page for a branding firm that just bought a ping pong table for IPA thursdays

absolutely brutal Leaving Criterion month. all the Werner Herzogs, TLADILA, Michael Clayton. The criterion message is loud and clear: spring is here, go outside

fun fact: the collective term for a group of Simpsons pfps is called an AV Club

no disrespect to the Simpsons pfps on here but at a certain point you do all start to blend together and I may or may not subconsciously see you as a sort of collective hivemind

bluesky’s gotta put down the vibe coding and do something about that thing where you accidentally leave out the space after a period and it generates a link preview for some nonsense like “error.you”

crying and singing girl meme

I always get a little genuinely emotional listening to this tbh

🎵 it’s the pro version and it’s worth the fee

As a person who was kind of scared of even Pee-Wee himself as a kid, god I hope not

also had a nightmare that someone stole the front wheel off of my new bike while I was holding it?? guess I still have a ton of bike theft-related stress leftover from when one of my roommate’s crustpunk friends stole my bike from inside our house when I was in college

took a 15 minute nap and managed to have a stress nightmare similar to Liz Lemon accidentally kidnapping a baby in that one episode, but instead I was walking down the street and realized I was holding someone else's very expensive Masi brand triathlon bike

I’m not usually the one to post these but looooook at this beautiful latte snail

you so much as mention the word “webinar” in my email inbox and I’m already RSVP’d. I’m hanging out in the zoom room hours before it even starts. I’ve met most of my lifelong friends and romantic paramours in the fun, exotic context that only a webinar can provide

feeling very conflicted these days because I hate AI but I’m also POWERLESS to resist the potent allure of a free webinar

I have no idea who she is but I’m with you in hating this list bc there was nothing from Katamari. The good people at Namco did not barely translate that dialogue to be left off a list of best quotes!!

happy to form a strategic alliance with the Katamari fandom to discredit this goofy-ass list 🤝

I guess I'll never know what was lost or changed in the remakes, but after devoting like a full year of my life to the first Thief game I've accepted that I'm just not cut out for the 90s PC classics

you'll be trying to figure out how to do upgrades in the convoluted bionics system while this queen's whispering freaky shit in your ear

Yeah, I could not function at all with the controls in the original games when I tried them in high school. I was making good progress with the SS1 remake and then got completely stuck in a cyberspace part. Just picked up the SS2 remake on sale so maybe I'll finally make it happen.

*despite many attempts I have never beat either System Shock game, lol

I’m sorry, NOTHING for my girl SH0DAN, who spends two whole games* leaving you voicemails of her megalomaniacal rogue computer poetry??

Mr. Mayor, I know stuff. I've worked with stuff my whole life. Stuff is a very important concept in my world. These policies, SIR, are not "stuff"

possibly his funniest use of scare quotes yet. what's the criteria for disqualifying a thing as "stuff"

it’s comforting to know that when you flop on here it's just because of the quality of your post or some overarching personality issue, not some nefarious algorithm

yelled "PAYBACK!!" multiple times at the phone recently while listening to an old episode of CBB where Scott was musing if there's ever been a director's cut that's shorter than the theatrical
