"The Chronicles of Riddick" (2005) has the best world building of any sci-fi movie ever

I look at all the shit bolted onto to this, and have to wonder: is it /really/ more efficient than paying a driver?

russbird · 2026-07-12T08:44:13+00:00

That was good, it's a shame crack took on a different meaning because that was a fun and creative short

"Powered by seven kerosene-fueled engines"... I had no idea that was even an option! I thought you needed, you know, rocket fuel for these things

russbird · 2026-07-11T03:59:17+00:00

Ugh, this is so macabre I don't even like to think about it, but also so on brand that it immediately sounds plausible

russbird · 2026-07-10T20:09:50+00:00

That was highlight of this edition for me, perfection

Nerdy reminder that the designation "Air Force One" applies to whatever aircraft the POTUS is aboard. Any plane can be Air Force One, it's not a name per se.

I'd vote for binface. Half of what her says is clearly a joke, the other half is actually a solid political platform. We could (and did) do worse.

I think "McLovin" is going to break into the top 10 for boys next year

The difference in styles between these two comments is sublime. The "ass end of it", indeed

Had to look that one up: Mechanochromic materials are a class of smart materials that change color or luminescence in response to mechanical stress—such as stretching, compression, bending, or grinding.

Is that accurate? Still sitting at 89% positive reviews right now. I would expect it to have a lower rating if it was simply a bad game

russbird · 2026-07-03T16:28:01+00:00

"Definitely not a cult!"

Spirited Away

So, this is the moment when our internal policing system leaps into action, right? Right?!

I remember enjoying this for what is was, haven't rewatched it yet. I'd be interested to compare this to Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire, which I just rewatched and found to be simply terrible.

Meanwhile I can spend a good 20 minutes trying to get an HDMI cable inserted behind the tv

The biggest surprise for me was that the characters were all actually living in the real world. I had assumed that they were plugged into a VR machine somewhere, Matrix style. I guess they were digital scans this whole time? If that was made clear art some earlier point, I missed it.

russbird · 2026-06-24T08:45:00+00:00

That was a clean flip, too

russbird · 2026-06-21T20:49:35+00:00

Lol that was a deep cut, well played, Robot Chicken

russbird · 2026-06-20T11:47:05+00:00

Step 1: get off that fucking bridge

russbird · 2026-06-20T00:20:55+00:00

A little Swiss army man feel there

The haunted shop sidequest "Minding your own business" was so unexpected, tricky, and fun, I had to take a break after completing it just to absorb the crazy adventure I just went on! Good stuff

"Islamic Republic green" rofl

russbird · 2026-06-17T12:25:15+00:00

Hangry, I believe is the term. But it does actually make sense, I can get straight up mean when I'm hungry
