    The Terror

    This had an interesting introduction episode. The Terror is just a random anthology thing at this point, but it still felt closer in tone and scope to Channel Zero. Outside of season 1 of The Terror, I would much prefer this to mirror Channel Zero, as I thought that series had weak seasons but...

    Widow's Bay

    This is gold. The song playing when he did his inaugural swim was perfectly chosen. Revenants suffering from loss of erection and sea hags that sit on your face until death

    Subnautica

    The sound design really made the setting feel real and tense in the first one. It was lightning in a bottle that they promptly fucked up as hard as they possibly could

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I have no idea sir, I think they are just hoping that it works with no backing data other than cost analysis. We've also quit hiring specific disciplines and are all full-stack so I'm fixing absolute dogshit AI react code while still having to explain to people how to make paginated API...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We've just frozen all hiring above junior level due to AI first policies and w're even backing out of that to grab interns. VPs believe that interns + Copilot is going to invalidate experience and seniority. There's no reasoning with it at this point so I'm trying to mitigate by putting strict...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    That can't be the premise for an entire movie. It would be a 10-15-minute segment in a compilation where a guy ironically gets exactly what he wishes for, but as a feature-length movie, there's no way that there is enough material to keep that going. It's a bad episode of The Twilight Zone...

    Dust Bunny (2025)

    This was good, something interesting at least. It had really bad control over pacing, so once anything happened at all, that was the plateau that it kept reaching for again, so the climax felt like any other action scene in the movie, and that made it drag after a certain point. The story was...

    Undertone (2026)

    This is atmospherically great. Psychological/Epistemic horror has really been going down the route of expert camera work lately, and this sits near the top of that vein. It seems like it's going to be a slow burn, but the sound and visuals do a ton of legwork, really digging into a very...

    Warhammer 40k

    Perturabo, then Russ, then maybe Khan if they do the 11th edition bike and speeder refresh, then Dorn, Vulkan, Corax, and last Lorgar. Alpharius is already doing something and can't be bothered to return until he needs to get killed to be Snape.

    The Deep Dark (2023)

    I don't regret watching it, but it will never be rewatched. A bunch of stuff happens solely because the plot requires it to. Half of the miners run around like Ricky Bobby's kids, shouting "anarchy" the second that they get trapped. It doesn't really feel like a mine for most of the movie...

    Operation Taco Gary's (2026)

    Simon Rex is in legitimately enjoyable movies. This was pretty weird sci-fi and had some funny moments. Jason Biggs does a great job of playing a caricature of himself and Dustin Milligan plays a good straight man as opposed to the dopey characters that he mostly played in his early career

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    If you're a fan of Jeunet and Caro, this is a nice homage to that style. She Loved Blossoms More

    Do Not Enter (2026)

    This is amusingly terrible. It looks amazing. It's just a shade less interesting of art direction than the remake of House on Haunted Hill and I'm pretty sure that the monster has down syndrome. A lot of effort was put into making something both terrible and watchable and a viewing won't be...

    Cold Storage

    The twist is that he's super ghetto and she's hyper refined and knows electrical engineering because she's working on a veterinary degree.
