Nice. Will need to keep an eye open. Been feeling really out of the loop recently with work, harder to keep my eye on the ball.

Never read it but did read a plot synopsis and was struck by how much the protagonist seemed a nihilistic supervillain but the plot just kept reinforcing him.

If its the group I think it is that is doing this, they're even weirder and creepier than you'd expect.

Huge disappointment. Making the pitch car chases synced to music should be a slam dunk pitch, but all the chases and musical choices are dull and lacking in character. Watch his Mint Royale music video for him doing the gimmick better. Also, most cancelled cast in history

Its also a key part of his characterisation for many years that he doesn't give up on anyone, not even the Joker.

I was working in the Scottish Government at the time this came out and the creators the movie were getting mad at the SG because they were pushing Brave over this for tourism and culture marketing.

Happened to me once. Driver missed the slip road into Glasgow and instead of going into the city center at Bothwell Street overcompensated, made a blind left turn and ended up on Byres Road.

He got dismissed as people being annoyed at a romantic rival and on closer inspection it just didn't conceptually work because he was too complicated and too toxic to really fill the role of stable, normal option.

Take note, Americans - the memetic fellow you are in fact looking for is Gary Tank Commander

the difference between fine art and illustration is nothing more than the economic class of the artist making it and that of their patrons.

Animation for the first season of Thundercats for Rankin/Bass, including the series’ incredible intro seen below, was by the Tokyo-based studio Topcraft. In 1985, Topcraft went bankrupt and its assets and animators became Studio Ghibli, under Miyazaki, Suzuki, and Takahata.

Did some work marketing for a pakora company last year. Even they didn’t know how to describe it other than “pink pakora sauce”

It nearly drove me mad in Aberdeen. There was hardly parks or greenery. The options were the uni campus or a nice park that was 45 mins walk away. However they've built a new park in the center I left.

Zuckerberg is the most fascinating of that cohort of tech billionaires because he stumbled onto one success, never been able to build on it, and seems aware of it to the point of being miserable. The lack of confidence compared to the rest stands out

Just thinking of seeing executive's saying they don't know how to sell Coyote vs Acme or the Muppet Show and it just makes so much sense about how these people view the world.

They've been talking about being able to do up to ten seasons, and it stands out how ambitious it seems compared to everyone else

I remember being stuck on a bus in a blizzard with a woman who was explaining all the Highlander sequels and spinoffs and after a certain point it all seemed a hallucination.
