The VHS Wizard 📼🧙

Actor / Cartoonist / Author / Humorist (and kinda bad at all of them), but I've failed at more things than most people have tried.

Married, poly, old and in a lot of pain. Played a doctor on TV. Former G+ Influencer. An actual wizard.

I know an unhealthy, generally worrying amount of things about the following topics:
#MST3K
#Rifftrax
#Riffing
#Tokusatsu
#SuperSentai
#KamenRider
#Cryptids
#1970sMadeForTVMovies
#Stargate
#DoctorWho

Just dropped my teen off at the mall so she can hang out with her friends. As a member of Gen X and lifelong mall rat myself, this feels a bit like when they started releasing wolves back into Yellowstone.

This movie is very, very bad.
The setup is Cabin in the Woods, but without the cool meta-contextual stuff that made it good, and now the kills are going to happen Final Destination-style based on their fortunes.
I love it. Peak modern drive in cannon fodder.

Update: Inside Out 2 was fantastic and we have now successfully done the flip. New view below.
Now, we watch... Tarot. It looks horrible and I'm super excited. And it has Peter Parker's friend in it!

At the Dixie Twin Drive-In to see Inside Out 2 (and Tarot if we can switch screens at the intermission). The snack bar is very very busy.

It gets dumber (again again)
This isn't even the first time they've tried something like this. Here's a post from months ago where someone notices that "new" Maven has 3-year old posts and they confirmed down in the comments that they imported a bunch of "high quality sources" and set them to different dates to "spark discussion"

I don't even think it's a question of "Fediverse Culture". I personally would honestly be fine with them importing all of the Fediverse to their thing - IF there were back-links so you could, like, interact with the author, see context and follow-ups, all that fun stuff.
What he did was basically like cropping out an artist's signature before uploading it to 9gag as your own - just to the entire Fediverse.

The stupidest part of this is... I got curious and was messing around with the "tags" and noticed that instead of using the hashtag's name, it gives everything a number.
For instance, Peertube Instance is https://app.heymaven.com/tag/154847
So I was like... hrrm, I wonder what the very first tags are.
We have the following:
1 - AI
2 - ChatGPT
3 - Startups
4 - fundraising
5 - tech

The cop is going to be so mad when he finds out that this is real. So much paperwork, oh my God.
#TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam #GraduationDay didn't see anything you didn't hear

The main character of the movie is the dead sister, the entire thing is orbiting around her absence, it's also why the POV keeps jumping from character to character, because it's following a ghost

I know it's a slasher, and they have to have enough people to be able to kill them every 9 minutes, but this movie has way too many characters.
I honestly forgot about military sister, haven't seen her in so long

Back to the suspect list then!

I wonder if the original Halloween movie *averages* 1 kill per 9 minutes?

Adam Copeland seems to be enjoying his time in #AEW.
I don't know any backstage rumors and I generally don't care what anybody says (other than Dave Meltzer, and that's just because he writes such beautiful fanfic of things that definitely are not true), I'm just going by his in-ring appearances.

Stole this beautiful artwork from the birdsite, which is apparently having some... minor technical issues
