‘Wildwood’ is Laika Studio’s magnum opus, a dark, violent 2-hour fairy tale brought to life via their trademark immaculately-detailed animation. Most charming though is the film’s lovingly crafted depiction of contemporary craftsy, hipsterish Portland where young protags live.

The rich moving ‘Elsinore’ is almost perfectly pitched study of transcendental power of art which weaves together the story of Ian Charleson’s attempts to perform The Dane while being treated for AIDS, with the text of the play itself. It’s also a stirrring & darkly funny elegy for a lost generation

After that he said ‘Well anyway, I hope you all enjoy the film as it’s reallly good fun & THERE’S TOO MUCH BLOODY MISERY IN THE WORLD’

I was at a screening of The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! & Blessed came on for introduction saying 'WELL, I KNOW YOU'RE ALL EXPECTING ME TO COME OUT & SAY 'GORDON'S ALIVE!' & everyone roared like it was a rock concert.

I bought a mug from Magazine's reformation tour with 'I know the meaning of life' on one side & 'It doesn't help me a bit' on the other. One of my most treasured possessions which I think I've lost

The answer was of course c). @wildobliquities.bsky.social wins the signed portrait of Jesse by me. Special mention to @robotforster.bsky.social & @mrchrisbarrett.bsky.social for their elaborate but wrong answers. What a fine example for all the young people at home thinking of going into the game!
