Sporadic Ramblings and Nerdery @majingojira - Tumblr Blog

The first reactions are in for the DC Studios adventure, with audience members saying that star Milly Alcock "is the perfect Kara."

Hm, initial reactions seem to be mostly positive, with most of the praise going towards Milly Alcock and Jason Mamoa in an otherwise "messy" film with a bland villain... Although to my understanding, the movie is more a character piece centred on Kara rather than her reacting off of the bad guy, but I'll see for myself when I see it next week hopefully.

The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the view of Robotman, Elasti-Girl, and Negative Man—and perhaps even beyond the veil of our reality—a ghost of the team’s past is preparing to cross into their world.

The visionary team of Eisner Award-winning writer Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) and legendary artist Niko Henrichon (Spectators, Pride of Baghdad) ushers the Doom Patrol into a new age for DC Next Level.

Ahh, Caulder's victims won their lawsuit then? Good for them!

If you're ever searching for a new musical movie I highly suggest Bran Nue Dae, or even just listening to the soundtrack. It's THE quintessential Australian road trip movie and the music is banger after banger after banger

I'll add it to my watchlist but I gotta say seeing an Australian accent spelled out phonetically triggered my fight, flight, or freeze response.

Godzilla's next Monsterpiece Theatre is sending the classic kaiju all the way to the wonderful world of Oz, and he may not leave any of it s

Haha, what.

I mean, I'm all for creative crossovers, but sometimes I just have to think:

Interestingly the one before this is Godzilla invading the Odyssey, which at least have other giant monsters to fight (even if in worldbuilding terms it makes me wonder how a bronze age would develop in a world where 100ft monster show up occasionally to wreck up the place).

They've been pretty good so far, the ridiculousness of them being part of the fun. From The Great Gatsby to Romeo and Juliet, this has been a blast!

Daily Monster 125: Peluda

Region of origin: La Ferté-Bernard, France

With a name meaning “hairy,” the peluda was covered in poison-tipped “hairs” it could harden into quills and fire as projectiles, or soften and use as whip-like tendrils. An ancient beast, it was supposedly denied access to Noah’s arc and instead survived the flood by hiding out in a cave in northern France until it was safe to emerge, from where it proceeded to terrorize the countryside.

He has a history of allegedly lying, sexually harassing a female officer, domestic violence, and more.

"If we got rid of the pigs, who would protect us?????"

Ah yes, clearly the pigs do such a good job

Working hard to protect children from the terrifying threat of getting through a whole day without being sexually assaulted

And before anyone tries to say "Not all pigs"

YES

ALL PIGS

And this post here shows there are a couple of different replies there were of course hundreds of replies. I even replied which I will now put here but besides making a joke about the famous quote, it was also Bloomsday

I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed…

I’ll go into more detail on Patreon this week

Speaking of historic costumes bringing potentially more flavor than expected. It's really weird how in period movies/series there's a whole spectrum of visual language between slavish devotion to historical accuracy and stylized but well established clichés... and more often the not, new iterations of the same story/time period just err on the side of cliché, even when writing and tone aim to be gritty/realistic (like, say, a Christopher Nolan movie).

In case of our blog it usually means employing double standards and overt sexualization of female characters, but it can be a lot more trivial.

Hexed | Teaser Trailer

...Yeah, while fantasy as a genre can be kind of self-referential, it does seem like Pixar are copying Dana Terrace's homework with this one.

Only unlike Luz who has to work hard and figure out work-arounds to learn magic, this kids just... can do it naturally, I guess?

Kind of a Mildred Hubble vs Harry Potter approach, I guess. In more ways than one.

Happy Pride, the Space Cops are mad at you.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: DREAM GIRLS #2 has an *incredible* '70s sequence by Stephen Sadowski and Trish Mulvihill. When I first saw it, my jaw hit the floor!

This wasn't the perfect time. Certainly not the perfect storyline.

But it was enough.

And they should have let this be the end of it. They should have let May Parker rest.

It's insane to me that we live in a world where Alfred Pennyworth stayed dead because of a terrible story Tom King wrote and yet Aunt May's beautiful moving passing was retconned because John Byrne of all people threw a tantrum over it

THIS IS THE BAD PLACE ;-;

The vice president tried to make himself palatable to women voters while promoting his new book. Instead, he scored a number of hard-to-watch own goals, writes Holly Baxter

JD Vance found time in his busy schedule to promote his book on daytime television today — and what a promotion it was.

In case you’re out of the loop and/or you’ve been concentrating on other, lesser news items like the Iran deal or the G7, allow me to enlighten you. Communion is the book nobody asked for, but by God, we’re all going to get. It’s about Vance’s conversion to Catholicism, presumably written in order to make the vice president seem more palatable for a 2028 presidential run.

His appearance on The View, a show whose audience — and panel — are predominantly middle-aged women, makes sense. It’s well-known both that MAGA Republicans are hemorrhaging female voters and that Vance as a person has a major woman problem. This is surely supposed to be the de-ickifying of a vice president who has steadfastly been giving women the ick since 2021.

If I were his campaign manager, however, my head would be in my hands right now. The panel opened with a question on the economy. Why are prices still high, he was asked, when Vance and Trump ran together on a platform of lower prices for all?

“We were elected on a number of mandates,” Vance clarified, in a bizarre twist on ‘well, actually’ that didn’t exactly make him look good. One was to lower immigration. Another was to lower prices, and as for that, “there’s a lot of work to do.” Which, I mean... of course.
