Okay, time to prove I'm a genuine cineaste with a Masters degree in film:

The new He-Man movie looks great!

I worked with the artist David Hitchcock on The Whitechapel Cordon. He's perfect for Hellboy, as the left-hand cover here conclusively shows.

I watched Five Nights At Freddy's 2 over the weekend. It was fine.

I am aware the reviews were uniformly terrible, but also I don't think any of the critics had a clue what they were actually watching.

I only know about FNAF because my son is the right age.

Ah look, Microsoft Co-Pilot has caused an international incident.

First of many, no doubt.

Might post some Massacre For Boys strips here, if anyone is interested?

Here's Thirty Kroner Kincaid by me, David Frankum & Nikki Foxrobot. Based on a true story.

Yep, the Stranger Things finale was great.

Meanwhile, over on Facebook.... Wow!

Have you seen this, @flopscomics.bsky.social ?

I've had to pretty much give up on Threads, as it's full of racists, misogynists, homophobes and transphobes (often all at once).

The good news is that even those people had to decamp from Twitter in the end. I guess it's just Elon now, shouting his white supremacist bullshit into a $44bn void.

I couldn't watch the Sandman Season 2 when it came out, due to distaste for Neil Gaiman's personal conduct. However, curiosity eventually got the better of me.

I think Season 2 is quite good, though a very truncated adaption.

At least we got the ending, even if I've always disliked the ending.

This happened because ITV stopped trying years ago and the BBC has finally got bored with winning a one-horse race.

Plus the big TV event of this Christmas is on Netflix.

Really enjoyed Room in the Tower. The best Ghost Story for Christmas in years, and also the best thing on TV this festive period (possibly tied with Stranger Things).

Ah, hello again, my old Christmas nemesis, Taking The Food Out Of The Freezer In Time.

Also, since when has "defrost for 48 hours" been a thing?

Facebook just presented me with this awful thread, purportedly from a supporter of Your Party. Many of the replies are in agreement.

I think this is clearly malign anti-semitism and if any of these people get into a position of influence within Your Party then as Greens we can't work with them.

Wow, I had no idea that Enid Blyton wrote Paddington 2 and Wonka!

It's weird seeing Thought Bubble 2025 pictures which include Killing Moon. I was the writer on Killing Moon. Sadly, it seems like the series is not continuing. There were three more issues planned.

I am imploring all comics journalists not to ask #AlanMoore about this.

Keir Starmer has got a nerve - lecturing COP on how everybody else has wavered but he's remained steadfast in the fight against climate breakdown.

The same Keir Starmer who keeps approving airport expansion and who is currently trying to concrete over the entire south-east.

Warning to all UK and worldwide comics folk. Never have anything to do with Frazer Brown. If you don't know why, google Tales From The Quarantine.
Me & my comics pal @fraserc69.bsky.social were adding our unused TFTQ page to this but the con artist AKA Frazer Brown has put that on hold for now.

Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please…
BACK IT NOW!

Doctor Who to survive, but goes back to tiny BBC budgets.

I think this is pretty good news. The Ncuti Gatwa seasons made basically no use of the extra money, anyhow.

More than 60 hours into #Hades2. I've defeated Chronos six times and I've defeated Typhon twice. Doesn't feel like I'm anywhere near finishing the game, but I'm very much enjoying myself so not in any hurry.

I do not understand why cinema critics such as Benjamin Lee bother. Just read his mean-minded and crotchety review of Black Phone 2 (which I won't link to). He leads by laying into Joe Hill for not being his Dad, and the piece goes downhill from there.

After Marvel Zombies I caught up on seasons 2 and 3 of What If...?

An anthology show that's actually one big story. Even manages to survive having to focus on the post-Endgame MCU. Better than almost every recent Marvel movie.

Excellent, 4 stars.

French politics is interesting because you'd think if you wanted to stay PM with a minority government in a hung parliament you'd simply avoid bringing forward any legislation that could not muster the support to pass.

But these guys are lining up to make unpopular changes so they can resign.

I think Zack's absolutely right here, but I do worry that our opponents are going to have some fun with it, eg. "Zack Backs Crack!"
