I adore this movie.
Which isn't to say it's *good*, but it sure is fascinating. I love that it exists.

New bad movie review out now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEMG...
How do I not go with a Babylon 5 intro?
That should be "but not great' >.<
Ahh looks like my computer's mouse is dying, so time for my regular yelling in frustration at all my searches, NO I do NOT want a wireless mouse!!
A *lot* of the Planetary covers are absolute bangers. No one quite did it like Cassaday.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
This cover is at least 40% of what made me a comics fan.
Horror comics are such a foundational piece of comic history that you gotta include EC Comics in the conversation, this one in particular being one of the most eye catching imo.

This is a definite far cry from "prestige horror" but it wouldn't be amiss in the world of movies like The Faculty or Disturbing Behaviour. I'd rank it higher than a lot of Scifi Channel originals.
It's a decent, great movie.
"It's watchable!" Esme Grey, Triskaidekafiles. Put THAT on your DVD.
On the bad side, it felt like some of the lore and logic behind the creature could've been explained better since some things just kinda...happen, but sometimes inexplicable horror is good.
This isn't GREAT but it does more than a lotta horror movies, and there are worse ways to spend some time.
Using the playground setting as a creepy camouflaged trap to lure in victims like a creature using colourful mimicry, that then becomes a liminal nightmare, is also handled really well, and is where a lot of the creepiness comes from.
Also, it takes aim at rich parents neglecting their children and foisting responsibility on others, but that's a more minor idea they play with.
This is a theme that runs throughout the narrative, even as the creature at the heart of it brings the upper class kids to become part of it's hivemind like collective, it kidnaps the lower class workers to serve as its minions down in the depths of the hive itself.
The movie weaves in themes of class struggle as it centred around a Hispanic girl being hired as a babysitter, in an affluent gated community. She has to deal both with being blamed for the antics of the spoiled white kid, and the weird shit going on at the playground.
Like...okay. I'm not gonna defend this as a hidden gem new classic or anything like that. But hell, it's watchable, it's well acted, it has genuine themes and things to say, and at times it's even creepy as fuck.
Just because I sometimes enjoy the trash, doesn't mean I still don't know the *difference*. "I like this movie, it is absolutely terrible" is a thing that can happen.
BUT BACK TO HIVE!
And uh, look. It's...not? And yeah, I know I have the reputation as the bad horror movie trash queen, so everyone says I don't know what a good movie is, but I DO.
Just because I WATCH terrible movies, doesn't mean I don't know good movies. Sure, my scale is skewed and I might be more forgiving
Watching the new Tubi original, Hive. It got hyped up early by some horror content creators, but really. I was gonna watch it anyways; creepy kids and hive minds? Yeah, I'm in.
But now that's it out, those same content creators turned against it like, "NOPE this is bad actually! BAD bad."
A VERY LARGE pinkish tardigrade on green mossy surface, all from cake.
Another shot of the cake, plus info tags.
Gotta show you this tardigrade cake I saw at the American Museum of Natural History.

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

I am a bit biased towards this movie.

An orange and yellow painted carved wooden Lorax with one arm raised and pointing up and the other arm akimbo, stands on a tree stump on green grass next to a residential street where . Clive, a cream and tan doodle, stands back, nervously looking up at the Lorax. Felix, a dark brown doodle with silver highlights, stands up close and looks up at the Lorax.
New Lorax just dropped. Clive is a little scared
Yeeeeah.
Probably the funniest part of the movie.
It doesn't help that all Google thinks I would rather see is Florence Pugh, and it is not wrong.
So she's been possessed by the ghost in the room and THEY start doing standup.
This movie would've been amazing if the ghost turned out to be WAY MORE FUNNY THAN HER.
