    I could go on a very long story about how I've recently gone no-contact with my mom, but one time, when she was critiquing my long term partner at that time, she literally said she'd expected me to end up with someone more like her and I was *horrified* by the idea. EWWW. Why would you even SAY...

    While I didn't read through all the Krakoa stuff, I did like the bit where the one dude becomes Nimrod, and his copying powers become this little micro horror story about how the guy sections off too many versions of himself that get killed until only the robot remains. I also agree about the...

    Actually, here's a fun seasonal aside, what're your favorite date night horror films? I'll go first: Silver Bullet (this one specifically because it lead me to a 9yr long relationship) Only Lovers Left Alive Thirst Bram Stoker's: Dracula (worth noting, assume both parties are horror movie...

    Agreed on Ravenous. It's so much better than it has any right to be. I saw it in theaters and I remember the turn of thinking first "what's this Oregon Trail ass music?" and by the end completely being charmed by it and the really dark humor throughout. I think I might be one of the weird ones...

    I'll admit, I think in some ways I like the premise more than the execution at times. For whatever reason, this post made me think it might be nice to have some Warwolves. Nice crossover builder baddy from a few books. I assume it'd be a BAF or deluxe.

    You may ask too much, but if you insist, we will put in a Spider-man instead.

    I thought so. Comic Mordo really does feel like an oversight at this point. He's even gotten an MCU figure. Oh, hey, maybe it's finally time for a comic Goblin Queen (fanchannel only of course).

    Fuck yeah, Ravenous. It's so quirky and weird and nobody has seen it but I love that one. Another one that I think is better than most folks give it credit for. Love a good indie werewolf movie. This one's better than most. Another fun one (emphasis on fun) is Dog Soldiers if you haven't seen...

    I would love that, but I don't think they'll go to that well again so soon. Robbie seems like a good fit though. Maybe comic Mordo? Are we still missing him?

    I like and hate Nimrod in the exact way I like and hate the Borg in Star Trek. The unstoppable robot enemy is amazing when you trot it out once or twice a decade and it's an apocalyptic threat everyone needs to get on board defeating *right now*. But the more you use it the more and more you...

    Sometimes a little trim will do it but it don't think I've seen it for this one.

    I definitely would be getting this if I hadn't broke down and gone to ebay for the 3 pack version over a year ago. I do appreciate them doing it (and it makes me certain we're getting Onslaught as a straight re-release now) I just wish they'd done it sooner. That said, least I know I can wait...

    I actually prefer the old one for paint. I do like the new head here, but I don't think I like it enough to pick this one up.

    Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

    There will indeed be a little of that going on in a couple of different places in my dio. I have some Daiso chain bases that I will be using for the human sized sentinels as recharging stations. There will also be an area specifically for manufacturing Sentinel heads where you'll see a bunch of...

    Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

    I think I'll probably keep mine. I only have the one Haslab so I can use it as a MM or as just a different iteration of Sentinel and it'll work just fine. On some level the spread of design styles works for me since (brace for extremely nerdy reasoning) I'm planning to put it all into a large...

    Hasbro Made-to-Order Figures

    Trying to absorb some of that tariff change since these units were already produced and some folks ditched their preorders. I've still got mine locked in despite being on the fence a few times this year feeling like maybe it's too cartoony to fit with my other figures. I'm in for the...

    I should say, while it wasn't for me, that's not really commentary on it being well done as a film. There's nothing technically wrong with it. For what it's aiming for the writing is fine, the casting works, the camera is doing its job, the effects and such are on par for similar stuff of the...

    Fwoosh Toys/Articulated Icons - A Retrospective

    yeah, it's not so much that I disagree per se, it's just like, that's the landscape. There's barely anyone out there offering stuff more than a couple of dollars different and none of those are going to be able to produce the licensed figures people want at those costs. It just gets old after a...

    Like, i know Raimi stuff, I was totally prepped for that. i think what didn't work for me was the main character and her whole ambiance. Like she works in a bank and kind of has this vibe that would fit better in a romantic comedy. If the whole movie had been the seance scene and similar weird...

    52toys Figlite 1/12 and 1/18 (Street Fighter, Capcom, Alien, etc)

    I'm not quite sure on this one. The stylization isn't quite doing it for me. Just a taste thing. I will say I've got a couple of offerings from 52 toys and so far they've all been really solid.

    Ok, quick update on my spooky season viewing: The Substance: Very French throughout, and goes from standard French gross to Cronenberg gross to Troma gross at the end. Very memorable, and goofy, and fun, though I probably won't necessarily go back to it. Drag Me To Hell: An oldie, but I...

    Honestly once I'd gone through like 2 minutes of straight "nothing on the market is worth what it costs" I turned it off. Life's too short.

    Presumably it's one of these. It would be a weird deep cut though. Not beyond them to do it, but would seem a little strange to me.

    One excellent example of a casually horny movie i miss, the Mask of Zorro with Banderas and Zeta Jones. You'd guess it'd be a nightmare, the whole cutting the woman's clothes off scene, but if you watch it, it's surprisingly unproblematic (especially for the era). At that point in the movie...
