My stuff: derekbgayle.com

Me on a nice day in the park on a fall day! The best! I've got a brown beard that's just starting to gray in some places, though it doesn't show in this photo. Dark red glasses, blue/green cap, with a yellow and blue plaid flannel, maroon bomber jacket, a lil peek at a purple dragon tattoo on my arm, and a blue Vital Hero Digimon watch that I got years after people stopped playing those. I still haven't digivolved it past Drimogemon because I never read the instructions on how, but I think he's cute. This is really dating this since this is meant to be a pinned post, we'll see if he ever digivolved when I inevitably revisit this in a year or two.

More hard-hitting journalism from yours truly.

io9: Was the scene where Zero makes motorcycle noises in the premiere scripted, or was it improvised?

Yanaka: It was improvised by the voice actor.

Kamen Rider ZEZTZ still of Zero revving like a motorcycle with Baku on his back.

If you have a cool Kickstarter or small publisher comic or video game to advertise, I'm interested in running an audio ad during Play Comics.

$0 USD. I'm pretty sure the conversion to your local currency will be easy math.

'Batman Forever' has gained appreciation for what it was: a fun, high-octane adventure that dared to be different.

From the radio to McDonald's and every theater in between, 'Batman Forever' dominated Summer 1995 like no other movie.

I will say that when you post about Pokémon, you never quite know what you're going to get. But if you post about Digimon, 99% of the response is "YAAAAAAHHHHHH DIGIMOOOOOOOON"

Daniel Dockery @dandock.bsky.social · 3d

Today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Digimon: The Movie and y'all, when they talk about films that "couldn't be made today," THIS is it. A weird, funny and fascinating time capsule.
