Making good Doctor Who really isn’t that complicated. Standalone, planet-of-the-week stories with clear internal logic and light serial threads; it doesn’t need to be an over-serialised mystery box. It also doesn’t need ridiculous budgets; limitations breed creativity.

I found this in one of those ‘secret libraries’, and apart from a few dings on the front cover, it’s in perfect condition. That’s fucking incredible for a near-50-year-old book.

Blade
Wesley Snipes doesn’t simply play Blade; he seems to understand that every time the character stops moving, he should already look like somebody has drawn him.

It’s good that City have been found guilty on all but one of the 115 charges, but nothing of consequence is going to happen. They’re not going to get relegated; they’re not going to have their league titles taken away. It’ll be a transfer window ban (maybe more) and a fine they can easily afford.

I remember how the script to this was apparently just about getting Madden to do the game like - Air - and this looks like they crammed a bunch of stuff into it once Christian Bale wanted to play Al Davis. Three movies in one syndrome.

Asterix Archiv 🐗 @comedix.de · 20/09/2026
Eine schöne Bastel- und Malarbeit. Manchmal trägt Obelix den Hinkelstein. Manchmal ist Obelix der Hinkelstein. Dürfte nicht leicht gewesen sein, diesen Stein zu finden. #Asterix #Fanart
Das Bild zeigt einen kleinen, länglichen und nach oben abgerundeten Stein, dessen Form an einen Hinkelstein erinnert. Der Stein wurde rundherum so bemalt, dass er selbst zum Körper von Obelix wird.
Auf der Vorderseite sind Obelix’ Gesicht mit den roten Zöpfen, sein nackter Oberkörper sowie der grüne Gürtel mit großer gelber Schnalle zu sehen. Darunter setzt sich seine typische blau-weiß gestreifte Hose bis zum unteren Rand des Steins fort. Seine Füße stehen auf einer kleinen grünen Wiese, die mit roten Pilzen und Blumen verziert ist. Der obere, dunkelgraue Teil des Steins bleibt weitgehend unbemalt und wirkt dadurch wie ein Hinkelstein, der hinter Obelix aufragt.
Die Rückseite löst den kleinen optischen Scherz auf: Dort fehlen Kopf und Oberkörper völlig. Stattdessen sieht man nur Obelix’ Arme, die sich von beiden Seiten um den grauen Stein legen. Seine Hände greifen hinter dem „Hinkelstein“ ineinander. Darunter sind wiederum die gestreifte Hose und seine Füße auf der Wiese zu erkennen.

Saw Resident Evil last night and I loved it; that said, it’s in a weird place where it’s easily the best Resident Evil movie, but if it wasn’t called ‘Resident Evil’, I’d have walked out saying, ‘That would have made a great Resident Evil movie’. #Filmsky

I mean… yeah? This doesn’t really seem shocking to anyone paying attention. Although $30+ million salaries do not seem to be enough to pay for this kind of awareness.

When your publishers put this much distance between themselves and you, it pretty much means that there’s veracity to the claims and they’ve been corroborated.
