So thankful I was able to see this work of art on the big screen. @realgdt.bsky.social never misses, and I am so happy he was finally able to bring this film to life. Don’t skip this one!

actually unreal how funny this image is
a two-panel image comprised of edited stills from Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man film. in the first panel, The Green Goblin is lifting J. Jonah Jameson by the throat, while the newsman desperately says, “It’s a PNG, I swear!” in the second panel, a close-up of The Green Goblin reveals that he’s wearing a jpeg of a hat with a fake checkered ‘transparent’ background behind it, and shouting, “You’re lying!”

Check out this utterly incredible simulation of 60s rubber-suit tokusatsu made in BLENDER. In an era where AI video creates uncanny monstrosities approximating old aesthetics, the true otaku's eye for detail and love of craft is breathtaking: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaXR...

Godzilla vs Hero Zero

The dark horse Godzilla comics have a special place in my heart love those books they not only taught me how to draw but also introduced us to an onslaught of fun monsters and characters

Best toy of all time, obviously.
Peter Parker enters our world through a portal. There are dinosaurs on both sides because I can’t be bothered to make room for such a dumb photo.

Favorite shot of the whole movie.

JAWS turns 50 this year and while it's full of effective examples of suspense filmmaking, I would argue that this particular shot is one of the most terrifying things ever captured in cinema.
