I've never been able to remember more than a few of the big names of my childhood. People like Schwarzenegger or Tim Curry or Patrick Stewart. I don't watch enough movies anymore to know or care who most of these people are outside of the character I'm watching on screen now.

I have honestly never known who the current celebrities are.

Mostly a bunch of no names who been propped up by the system where they try to manufacture Stars and most of them tend to be on one side of the isle and have a lot of out of touch views which begun to seriously hurt a lot of movies of late, best example would be Rachel Zegler, a broadway actress who got propped up only to see a spectator fail with Snow White and just to add insult to injury, a stage show she was in, when she couldn't be the lead female on a certain day and another actress was bought in, that actress got a massive applause from the audience, while Zegler didn't as she not well liked outside of the bubble that many of these stars are living in!

There's this fuckin Nespresso advert or some jivee that the first time I saw it literally aired like 5 times in a row (I am not exaggerating) with some celebrity named Dua Lipa and I literally have no idea who that even is. I think I may have vaguely heard her name before but I have no idea what she is 'famous' for, is she a singer? An actress? Someone who isn't actually famous at all but she's big on TikTok so they put her in the advert so people will want to buy these Nespresso pods or whatever the hug they're advertising?

If she is a musician I do openly admit I'm out of touch with music, I literally listen to underground Japanese idol groups that have sub-100 subscribers on YouTube like I am very much in my own world here.

I see a bug that's not in any local identification guides. I search and I search and I search. It turns out to be some Asian species that's invasive in Florida and apparently nowhere else.

Been on a binge of Black Clover today, when the series finds its footing, it really gets good, just finished page 112 of the anime, in the middle of the Elf arc

Long-standing gripe reared its head today. I did my time in retail, I understand controlled inventory and anti-theft measures. But, dear $major_store_chains, this is not that. This is annoying, and condescending, and wasteful of your employee's time when they're made to get a thing from a case for me, walk me up to the registers like a lost six-year-old, and not let me touch the thing I'm buying until I've paid for it. How much shrink has that actually reduced, compared to the bonus the exec who came up with it gave themselves?

What is with these Spider-Man writers and trying to convince readers that The Vulture is any sort of threat?

I could get if the played him off as some kind of evil mastermind but they constantly have him in brawls with Spider-Man.

Also, unless Sinister Six membership has some kind of retainer, I don't think Vulture is rich. Instead of selling his antigravity technology to the highest bidder and retiring, dude would rather rob banks and crack safes. He's a lateral move from Shocker at best.

Kingpin's more of middle-aged than old. Dunno how that squares with Spider-Man fighting him in high school. Makes the Vulture’s age look even nuttier considering he was already old back then.

Not paleontologically accurate. jivety movie. Don’t care. Makes a damn good action figure. Rebirth colors would be an interesting option though

It's weird. The movie was terrible and I did not enjoy it, but I still feel a bit of nostalgia seeing that beast.

I couldn't believe how bad it was. My expectations were low but not that low. Maybe that's what I'm nostalgic for.
