Every garbage-tier video game movie sequel should have Annihilation as its subtitle. Worked for Mortal Kombat... I'm ready for Super Mario Bros.: Annihilation

I think they should go in a different direction: Annihilation 2: Super Mario Bros.

It has the budget of one, but a thousand times the gumption. It's really not a bad watch if you're okay with it looking like a SyFy movie.

It has so much Doom packed into every scene that I couldn't help but enjoy it. The big color-coded key cards, the HUDs, the repetitive hallways, the various weapons like the shotgun and chainsaw, the BFG, it's just a big love letter to the games.

Now that I'm thinking about it... how the hell did they not call it Mortal Kombat: Fatality

Also, finally watched You Were Never Really Here and holy crap that was good. I had no idea Jonny Greenwood did the music, but I kept thinking the score was weirdly good throughout.

I haven't watched it yet, but despite it's name Sweetheart is a monster movie with very good reviews. It's up on Netflix so I'm looking forward to checking it out tomorrow.

The internet nerds in Don't gently caress with Cats reminded me of the nerds in Beyond the Curve (the Flat Earther doc). They were annoying, and it was sort of worse because at least with the flat earth people, you can feel okay hating them. These people are doing something sort of noble, although it's icky to be so consumed with an internet chase and hand-wringing over choosing to watch awful videos.

I was sort of impressed with Luka's "catfishing" skills. When internet detectives on Reddit/SA get on the trail of someone, there are generally so many breadcrumbs that someone gets incontrovertibly doxxed immediately. He left clever clues -- only liking the one video with a sockpuppet account, for example. That also didn't seem consistent with who he was, at all. But then again, I never thought the people on the fishing end of Catfish or the series seemed particularly brainy or tech savvy. They're just careful at concealing their tracks in a way I would think would be more difficult to pull off. He left it amorphous enough that a full time team of doxx nerds couldn't nail him down with enough certainty for anyone to act on until he made a snuff film.

As for the police, I'm on the fence. Yes, deliberate animal cruelty is a sign of pretty serious mental illness. But kittens are put to death every day in shelters, but in what we deem a humane way. The crime we're all mad about is scalding people's brains with his sickness, really. I have a hard time feeling it's worth the cops' time to chase down a few dead kittens, as callous as that is to say.

"Animals die every day, therefore torturing animals to death is okay." Does this logic also apply to humans?

I mostly enjoyed it, but not as much as I would have enjoyed a new stand-up special. Several of the songs were really annoying, and it didn't do anything that Wonder Showzen didn't pull off much better.

Great.

Sony used to broadcast video clips to prehistoric smartphones over MobiTV, and for shows like Married With Children, they'd trim the thing down to the better five minutes of each episode, including shortened opening and ending credits. It is probably a better way to digest old sitcoms in general.

The main thing dragging down MwC is the studio audience. Like All in the Family had the problem of some viewers uncritically liking Archie Bunker, but in Married With Children you can hear all the people who clearly think Al is some kind of weird hero.

Sounds like someone is sore they never scored 4 touchdowns in a single game.

But yeah the idolizing Al is weird. He's the architect of his own problems 99% of the time. I think some viewers like his anti-feminist poo poo and the show pokes fun at ladies as well.

Then there's the way Al hates his family but if someone fucks with Kelly he beats the poo poo out of them and is a big hero for doing so, makes him seem admirable.

MwC pokes fun at everyone. People liked Al because Ed O'Neil is a good actor and sold the character as a regular guy whose life didn't turn out the way he hoped but it's not all bad, not because he's admirable.

Three recommendations from this weekend:

Season 4 of The Magicians has been up on Netflix for a few weeks now, and I got to rewatch it. It really is one of the most compelling shows on TV, and everyone should struggle through the rough season 1 to get to the brilliant later seasons.

The new John Mulaney kids special is legit weird and hilarious and much more enjoyable than I expected.

I unfairly wrote off You because it started as a Lifetime show. Turns out to be insanely compelling, and I couldn't stop watching.
