Illyria

Aaaaaaah I'm so jealous! I saw them live back in 2007, and looking back at that gig it always felt like this moment I would kill to relive but knew I never could. The band broke up, the location got torn down. Then earlier this year the news of a new album and tour, I check the dates and instant happiness when I see they're playing Cologne, too. Only to then realise the date is Halloween, during which I'm on vacation and not even in the damn country 😭

Would have loved that

Tobias Forge sat down with the Morbid podcast! From the show notes:

I haven't seen it in a gazillion years myself. I was briefly obsessed with it when it came out and watched it so many times back then. But haven't seen it since! I wonder if it holds up. I think you're right, a rewatch is in order

Yeah, I hadn't expected it but I've come to the conclusion that Shang-Chi is so far my favourite thing to come out of phase 4. It's not perfect by any means, but I just really enjoy watching it a lot. Probably cause I really love me some martial arts (House of Flying Daggers was one of my favourite movies back in the day). It probably did help that I went in with low to no expectations. By contrast, I had really high hopes for Loki and that mostly just fell flat for me.

Only had one listen so far and also have to say I'm disappointed, but may change my mind after a few more listens!

Weirdly, I felt like this in the previous two episodes, and less annoyed about it in this one. I figured I'd gotten used to it or that it even improved a bit!

Ok I wasn't sold on this show until this episode. Loved it!! I guess I just had to warm up to it a bit. The music in this episode made me really nostalgic for Agents of Shield as well.

Nu metal 💜

I went to Gamescom for a few hours this evening, and the Telltale booth was my highlight this year: 20220826_182149.mp4

Well this post hasn't aged well Currently reading the entire thread, cause I miss the show so much

I seem to be the only one who didn't really enjoy this that much, then 🙈 I'll keep watching of course, it's not terrible and maybe it will pick up over the next few episodes. I did chuckle at a couple of the lines. But I really don't like the VFX in this, especially in the Hulks eyes (both Hulks). Oftentimes they just look dead or like they are looking past the person they're speaking to, instead of at them. That really bothered me. I also hope Tatiana is going to get the chance to flex her acting muscle properly on this show, somewhere down the line. She's incredibly talented and tbh deserves more than quippy over-the-top comedy. But then again, maybe I should just rewatch Orphan Black and reign in my expectations here a bit. I'm also just a grump this evening, so maybe that's why. Still looking forward to the next episode and curious if the show will grow on me

This thing has absolutely no right to exist. Jesus fuckin christ.

Thank you so much for this recommendation! I've watched the first two episodes over the last week and it's so wholesome and somewhat reminiscent of Amelie, which I've loved. Wonderful show. This is out now! Edit: watching the first episode right now and got a serious trigger warning, spoilers though:

@Capwn you might be the only one here who can actually watch this but A documentary about animals and how and why they sleep! https://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episodes/how-the-wild-things-sleep (After years of depression and struggling with uni and not knowing what the hell I wanna do with my life, I finally have a proper 40h/week job (in my damn 30s, but better late than never) and this was kind of my first project on this job, so I am a bit proud that I am able to post this and didn't kill myself before I got here! My company did the HDR grading for this and I think the cuttlefish are just the cutest.) Anyway it features a guy who's job it was to stay up all night and keep snails from sleeping, and then testing their short-term memory. So there's that.

I have never seen this and had no good reason to guess this one apart from a "vibe" Framed #160 🎥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ https://framed.wtf

I was actually just thinking about that as well. It's insane how many Emmy nominations this show has received, and yet not won one. Insanity. It's some of the best television I have ever seen.
