I skipped high school to buy tickets for The Phantom Menace. The following day my Dad asked ," how was school?" I replied, " It was fine " He then threw this newspaper at me and asked , " how the fuck would you know?" He was so pleased with himself that I didn't actually get in trouble.

Newspaper where I am on the front page, in line for Star Wars tickets , having given the reporter my full government name

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is.

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

Harpo Marx possessed the verbal wit to hold his own as a member of the Algonquin Round Table, chose to exclude this gift entirely from his public persona, and still became one of the most beloved and influential comedians of all time. AND he was a musical prodigy. Goddamn.

sadie's insane text messages on discord read:
CHAT, I'VE MADE AN INSANE FUCKING DISCOVERY.
I'M REWARCHING THR DARKSTALKERS OVA.
...which is peak by the way
AND THE END CREDITS COME UP, AS USUAL
[a link to "the trouble man" by ekichi yazawa on youtube]
"the trouble man" by ekichi yazawa
it's a rock song to be paired with the darkstalkers characters plastered on guitars because it's fucking cool, not terribly deep. cool rock song, cool visuals, all it wanted to be.
BUT EIKICHI YAZAWA DIDN'T WRITE THE SONG on his own

andrew gold helped. (photo credit of the writerz being listed on genius)
and do you know what fucking song he wrote a year before in 1996?
