This arrived yesterday, and I started watching it, so as a fun project, I thought it'd be interesting to do a small review of each episode as I watch them in order, since I've never seen all of them, and never in order!

I'll update this thread as I go.

Hopefully not a 5 year mission! #StarTrek

If you see this, post an anime you love!

Oh, this FUCKS. O___O

Why have I never consider HUGE Tifa before!?!?!

I really just want more DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON anime. : \

Watching THE MIGHTY NEIN.

This is glacial slow and none of the characters are interesting to me yet. Animation is nice, an it's got some solid voice casting, but that's about it for me.

I feel like I've seen all of this before.

Xenovember day 24! This was an illustration I did for NECA's "Defiance Xenomorph" based on the praetorian alien from the second issue of the comic.

Also one of those rare times I did the color work, too, using Dan's work in the comic books as a guide...

I'm pretty happy that my two recent movie posts (THE QUICK AND THE DEAD and THE GRIFTERS) got a lot of traffic.

It's nice seeing people like some interesting films that I like.

Woah!
this is mesmerizing

One of my favorite things about James Gunn is that he will do stuff like this...he'll use his platform to elevate other artists and their work.

He did the same thing for Stephanie William's book about Weirdo DC characters like a year or two ago.

That's a real mensch right there.

I like the Gene Colan-ness of this stuff.
John Watkiss was a fascinating artist. A talented and expressive illustrator who (I think) found a more fitting home in film storyboards rather than comic books. But, that said, there is always something to marvel at in his strips.

Si Spurrier has killed it most recently, and I started reading HELLBLAZER with Peter Milligan in his end run on the original series, so those are my personal touchstones.
Who writes the best John Constantine?

Jamie Delano and Paul Jenkins are my personal favorite runs, but those are from decades ago. Who's been doing good work with ol' Conjob recently?

I'd his racism MORE ACCEPTABLE if it is broad rather than targeted?

He does not seem to be denying being a racist, just that he didn't direct his racism towards anyone on an individual level...which would still make him a despicable racist.

Why split hairs here? Fuck this guy!
New: Three new ex-pupils come forward, on the record, to say Farage's racism as a teenager was targeted, persistent and nasty. Farage has denied targeting any individuals - but two of the men tell us they recall Farage abusing Peter Ettedgui.

@secretgalaxy.bsky.social did a great video on M.A.N.T.I.S. which was originally made with really good intentions to be an uplifting and enriching show of Black Excellence...kneecapped and dumbed down by Network executives who feared it's unabashed Blackness.

A sad tale.

@realgdt.bsky.social hinted at this awhile ago, but now it's real!

KINO LORBER is putting out a 4K of MIMIC featuring both the Director's and Theatrical cuts!

As far as I can tell there is only one new extra; a critic's commentary of the theatrical cut; but it's still worth the upgrade for me!

I really want to get the 4K of this and watch the Black and White cut that Del Toro wanted, but the studio did not support.

Rob Ford is an embarrassment, but Ontario has no right to be embarrassed because we keep voting for him, only to IMMEDIATELY being protesting when he IMMEDIATELY starts a new series of scams.

JUST STOP VOTING FOR HIM!!! Vote for someone else! You can't bully him into NOT being an embarrassment!

Is that Peter Weller the G.O.A.T.!?!

I looooooooved him in OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. Early Peter Weller is pure FIRE.
If you're in NYC, I wouldn't sleep on @RoxyCinemaNYC screening of Abel Ferrara's super-rare 2 1/2 hour workprint cut of CAT CHASER on Sunday 11/30.

Or at LEAST DEADPOOL/BATMAN and BATMAN/DEADPOOL or something. @___@
This seems like a big oversight on DC and Marvel's behalf. Maybe one company should have published Batman/Deadpool and the other one Superman/Spider-Man.

One of my favorite examples of this is Tanikaze X Tsumugi in KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA.

Dave Foley remains my favorite member of the KIDS IN THE HALL, and this was a great little film!
Share a 90s movie you think deserves more love.

The Wrong Guy.

Dave Foley goes on the run thinking he's the suspect in his boss's murder. He's not, but he is accidentally following the real murderer in this incredibly funny Hitchcock riff.
