Rule 5 Sunday: Natasha Romanova Redux

— compiled by Wombat-socho So the new Black Widow movie is out, and it looks pretty good, but since I’m not driving 200 miles to pay $20 so I can watch Scarlett Johanson’s butt* on the big screen, I’ll have to wait until it’s available on some streaming platform I can afford. Also, a minor […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Agent Carter

— compiled by Wombat-socho Being (cos)played tonight by Irina Meier. Hope you’re all having a great Independence Day weekend. Ceterum autem censeo Silicon Valley esse delendam. Ninety Days From Tyranny: Hot Pick Of The Late Night, The 90 Miles Mystery Box Episode #1400, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns.  Animal Magnetism: Rule 5 Nork Friday […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Cottagecore Is The New Black

— compiled by Wombat-socho Elie Reynolds at The Federalist Blog wrote an article on the counterrevolutionary fashion trend that is apparently all the rage among the Generation Z girls, cottagecore. It looks on the one hand like a throwback to the fashions of the 1950s, but on the other hand, it also looks like a […]

Rule 5 Sunday: 2D > 3D?

Anyway, today’s appetizer is Saber from Fate/Stay Night reimagined as […]

Sure, some people will say they’re offended, but in reality they’re just envious. Face it, if you looked like Elsa Hosk, you’d probably walk around in sparkly underwear all the time. But because […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Quiet, Please

— compiled by Wombat-socho I admit to not knowing much about the Metal Gear game franchise except that it apparently stars some Snake Plissken-looking dude who goes by the name of Solid Snake and has the secret power of hiding in boxes along with his other elite commando skills. Anyway, there’s apparently a dishy gal […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Samsung Sam

— compiled by Wombat-socho I seldom explain jokes, but Friday evening’s meme does seem to need one. Last month Brazilian studio Lightfarms came up with an unofficial virtual assistant for Samsung phones, and people went nuts over her. I have to say, just based on the visuals alone, Sam would be a big improvement over […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Potato Godzilla Gets Out Of The Robot

— compiled by Wombat-socho There must be a million cosplayers doing Asuka Soryu-Langley from Neon Genesis Evangelion, and the vast majority of them do Asuka in the plugsuit, because in the words of the late Robert Sheckley, “By hiding everything, they concealed nothing.” So it was a nice change to see Vietnamese cosplayer Potato Godzilla […]
