Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

It continues to be interesting to me just how many men, when presented with a clear and obvious answer to a test of morality and empathy, will nevertheless choose to "devil's advocate" themselves into a position of complete assholery

Over the course of a month-long Kurosawa fest at The Castro Theater in SF, I saw trailers for the Jean Cocteau Beauty and the Beast and Singin' in Rain five times. I resolved to see them when they played and found they're both pure movie magic. Two of the best film-going experiences of my life.

One of the worst things about streaming with ads is no humans appear to be in charge of placing the ad breaks. Even shows which originally had ad breaks, where there was an obvious break in the narrative for it, don't have the ad breaks put in those places now

Why do good non-horror movies get released in October when *everybody knows* our schedule is packed watching 31 Nights of Horror? It's thoughtlessness, bordering on maliciousness...

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

Acting tip for comic book artists: Don't play the emotion right on the surface. Give the character some internality. Don't just think of what they feel. Think of what they want people to think of them. Think about the lies they tell themselves. Give them thoughts they don't know they're having.

Disney bought Fox in 2019 so they could compete with Netflix. Since then they have laid off at least 7000 people, jacked up prices, repeatedly introduced ads until they're on every tier, and only last year turned their first streaming profit. The mergers haven't been good for anyone.

When a game studio ships a solid game, it creates TWO valuable products: 1. A solid game. 2. The team that spent years learning how to work together make a game. Because Western studios keep disbanding #2 while development cycles get longer; we will inevitably see less of #1.

“FUN...” Hmph! Most of you wouldn’t know “fun,” if it bit you viciously on the face, chest, breast, and neck…!

Want a *real* gamer’s idea of fun…?
“Play” Exacting Adventure IV -- a game by Charlie Montague. 
Puzzles so convoluted, so *obscure*, you’ll scream at the sky for answers…!! 
The logic equivalent of “guess what’s in my pocket!”
