Here is a cartoon I did of Danny Trejo & Harvey Keitel. Fuck ICE. Pen and ink on paper.
Here is a cartoon I did of Danny Trejo & Harvey Keitel. The cartoon is a drawing of them saying: “Hi we’re Danny Trejo and Harvey Keitel, and we’re starring in a currently filming movie portraying ICE in a positive light. We should never know a moment’s peace for this, but we’re banking on the decades-long mass casual acceptance of ethical apathy toward actors starring in political propaganda like pro-war films and movies promoting fascist values to enrich our careers and boost our social status. It’s pretty fucked up, and it’d be a shame if people stopped letting this happen”. Pen and ink on paper.

Also you’re seeing several sectors that see subdued transaction and investment when rates go up and one that is so far seemingly immune to financing costs like please let’s not do CML 101, remember that most CMLs and construction finance is floating rate

Don’t make me get out the Census.gov value of private construction put in place chart, Jason, because it’s gonna make you look like a whole dip anyhow, you’re comparing a sector undergoing massive growth with several other much much larger sectors coming off a significant oversupply

I want to make clear this is not a gendered statement, I can think of three woman directors off the top of my head who are WAY hornier than most of the current men (Fennell, Ducornau, Fargeat), and that’s just western europeans

Alex de Campi @alexdecampi.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Also Brian de Palma’s innate creepy horniness is absolutely what makes the original film version work. And, like, I love Flanagan, but nothing he has ever filmed has remotely come off as horny

The Killer is definitely more bombastic; I have to say I prefer Melville’s spareness, the absolute quiet clockwork precision of Le Samouraï. But I’m a giant Melville stan, so it stands to reason

Surprised you mention Woo’s The Killer, but not the film it was based on—Melville’s Le Samouraï. I’d add The Memory of a Killer (2003), Matador (2005), and A Bittersweet Life (2005) too

The cover of my and Jerry Ordway’s graphic novel Semiautomagic, by Tomer Hanuka, shows lead character Alice Creed (white woman with dark hair) sitting bisexually across a wingback armchair, a dagger in one hand and a shotgun in the other. Under the chair is a decapitated wyrm, its blood cyan. Also a whisky bottle.

There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.
