If he's gonna watch that, he should also watch all the fan videos with fans playing the parts, making the costumes, writing the scripts etc. There is so much real creativity out there, born of an enthusiastic and inclusive fan community. We don't need artificial intelligence, we have genuine talent.

I am not joking when I say this. Jive Bunny is now very, very good. You just don’t know yet because all musical mashups circulating today is from the Stars On 45 era. Jive Bunny et al have solved infinite musical mashups.

One of the wonderful things about music in general is that the risk reward ratio is so insanely skewed - three minutes for something that might end up bringing you joy for the rest of your life

Caught a showing of this after Jim’s piece in the New Statesman a decade or so ago and it’s every bit as glorious an experience as he says. Best compliment I can give is that this piece absolutely captures the genuine wonder of this film and the decades of effort to restore it.

One last push for this first issue. Free to read, and there are free and £1.00 tiers for future issues. Give it a go. If you like films. If you don’t, probably best not bothering. Unless you have more money than sense. Which @ £1.00 is unlikely.

What sticks in the memory about Dolly Parton isn’t necessarily the music (although she was an astounding songwriter) but her humanity, her joy in life and the sheer kindness of every story you ever heard about her. The definition of a life well lived.

First event I read as it happened in the US comics, thanks to discovering the comics shop in town. Felt like being able to read a myth as it formed. And in many ways I’ve always been looking for another cover which goes as hard as one of my first:

The X-Man Wolverine, his costume torn to shreds and his adamantium claws out, faces just to the left of the reader, ready to fight an unseen opponent Behind him, against a black background, are huge streaks of blood.

A caption promised WOLVERINE vs. SABRETOOTH - - ROUND 1!

No cover has ever gone harder than this.

Jon Arnold @jonarnold.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Picking this out of my parents’ collection when I was 5 because the cover was appealingly weird was absolutely formative for me. It’s just *my* Beatles album and always has been.
