✅ Punisher One Last Kill review: The perfect antidote to Marvel's messy multiverse
https://www.polygon.com/punisher-one-last-kill-review-marvel/
I've finally watched #SoylentGreen, and oh my. I mean, I've seen it coming, it was kinda predictable, but still, shit, that is one heavy movie. Probably not a good time to be watching movies like that.
Aadam Jacobs has secretly recorded over 10,000 local concerts since 1989.

A researcher finds the average length of a wide-release theatrical film grew from about 106 minutes in the 1990s and early 2000s to 114 minutes in recent years (James Hibberd/The Hollywood Reporter)

I realize I may not be the average viewer but shows and movies that show tiny text for text messages (like expecting us to read off a phone someone is holding, that is usually not shown in close up) are frustrating.
This issue has been solved well. Just show a large text graphic with the text. That works well, looks good and is readable. Without the solutions I am not sure I would have thought of it (after the fact is seems obvious), but after it has been solved, use the good idea.
back in my day video games and movies had piss filters on for artistic intent, these clankers should learn to respect the groundwork old timers like RE5 and GTA IV laid [huck tugh, that's the sound of me spitting into a bucket]

Cyril Cyril & Le Syndicat du Futur - "Le gros Hit" (2026)
If you know me, you know I love silly and absurd tv, movies, music, etc. So I was psyched to hear this groovy, energetic song from The Geneva-based experimental folk/jazz duo Cyril Cyril.
They literally handed the microphone over to their own kids and the result is a delightfully surreal, playful, and minimalist French indie-pop track.
The lyrics are 😂 and the deadpan delivery against the danceable m…

'Hold on to your butts!': Using '90s movie quotes to scout 2026 NFL Draft's top prospects https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7210183/2026/04/21/nfl-draft-2026-top-30-prospects-movies/
There are a few evergreen movie quotes that every German knows but which might not be well-known or popular in their countries of origin (note: German movies have always been dubbed for general audiences).
One such example is from French comedian Louis de Funès and I've never heard the original words. Looked it up in Youtube today. 1971 movie! Relieved to see it's a literal translation and the voice actors captured the French exchange perfectly!

Claude Code is good at doing research!
In this case helping find the disposition of 126,000 digitized US Supreme Court dockets (cert denied or full opinion), and then reporting why in a archive.org review (using like a wikipedia discussion).
This took real hand-holding and QA to be sure, but it is super helpful. Looked at court listener, the supreme court site (and the old one via the wayback machine!), the Caselaw Access Project at harvard. So good.

the Mission Impossible TV series had several stories where they kidnap a villain and put them somewhere that pretends to be the future, in order to get the villain to reveal some secret that's no longer important in "the future", which the agents then use to stop a plan that hasn't happened yet.
the movies also did a variation of this.

just came across this 60 Minutes Australia interview with James Cameron on the OceanGate sub disaster.
Probably one of the best and most engaging interviews about engineering, safety, culture, science, hubris, incompetence... that you'll ever find.
Cameron is so incredibly intelligent, but also extremely good and simplifying complex ideas and doing it in an honourable way.
And oh ya, he also makes movies.

The Man With The Golden Gun: Not bad at all!
The first film that feels modern, without any hokey effects/compositing. Weirdly unremarkable theme song too—don't think I've ever heard it anywhere else. Also, second film now not to mention SPECTRE.
And Moore is a great Bond, in a different way. Doesn't have the physicality of Connery, but inhabits the persona well.
