Mamoru Oshii planned it. A young Satoshi Kon took the lead on its layouts. The result: a stunning moment from Patlabor 2.

We're looking inside the film's martial law sequence, including storyboards and production art:

I don’t carry Jared Leto baggage around with me, which probably helps, and I guess I’m a sucker for computer programmes falling in love, not that that’s what saying. But that’s what they’re showing.

Maybe I’m swimming against the tide on this one, but I enjoyed it. I wasn’t bored, I wasn’t frustrated, I was engaged the whole way through. Nowhere near the Top Ten of the year, but what can I say? I liked it.

Final one. I wanted to do the penguin. I think he looks cool in his crushed velvet vest and puffy pants.

As I scrolled up, I initially thought I might be looking at new photographs of the geography of Mars, but as the picture came more into frame, I realised it wasn’t. Mars doesn’t look back.

This is literally the first time in all of history where someone said this sounds like Elliot Smith and then it actually sounded like Elliot Smith.

Plenty of skinks here, and I saw a blue-tongue a couple weeks ago after not seeing one for ages, but unfortunately no dragons. I work on the river, so get some nice water dragons there at least.

Fascism and conspiracies prosper when governments become secretive and particularly when they reduce transparency and accountability. Our political duopoly are promoting and even encouraging this social disruption and degradation of our democracy.
