A bus hijacker with a knife starts toying with his captives, demanding that they provide an answer for why they believe killing is wrong. Totonou takes him up on the thought exercise, going on a nine page & counting monologue about the ethics of killing that makes the hijacker regret he ever asked.
From right to left: the hijacker wide-eyed listening to murder special interest armchair detective have a one-sided debate on the ethics of killing, Totonou goes for another "that said..." digression, and the hijacker screams JESUS! THERE'S MORE?!

Ultraman Tiga, "On the Night of Halloween": in which Tiga meets an alien in a wicked witch costume who feeds on children's dreams. Highlights are an underground jack'o lantern ship holographically disguised as a haunted house & a kaiju fight in a mini cemetery with a pumpkin moon in the background.

I'm overwhelmingly fond of kaiju suits that think outside of the humanoid box, like Pestar (two suit actors holding hands) or Twin Tail (face by the feet, performer sees out of the tail).

My favorite panel in the Wolverine debut comic is Hulk feeling awkward and having no idea what else to say to the violent little man after they knocked out a Wendigo together.
Hulk looking stoic in the background, early Wolverine looking surly in the foreground.

"A strange, uneasy silence settles over the scene then...and the Hulk pees at his pint-sized companion in quiet confusion. He does not know what to say to the Wolverine now that the battle is done--does not know how he should respond to this somber little man."

Did someone advise Tsuburaya that they were risking a lawsuit from Big Critter if they didn't localize their own creatures as Clitter? Gazort's mouth and the "many clumped into one" gimmick are superficially similar enough that it's one of the only reasons I can see for tripling down on Clitters.

I thought this Tiga ultrakaiju being named Gazort would be the funniest thing about it, until the subtitles repeatedly informed me that it was a fusion of lifeforms known as the Clitters.
Gazort, a Kaiju that looks like a bipedal stingray with sharp teeth. "the Clitters that lived in the ionosphere absorbed too many electromagnetic waves and merged to form Gazort"

Errol Morris was asked about shooting ads for Theranos during a Reddit AMA and offered that while there are a few industries he refuses to collaborate with "I do not investigate the companies (for the most part) when I agree to do their advertising."
coder313 5 points·18 hours ago

I understand you shot some promotional footage for the company Theranos. What was your reaction when you first learned of the fraud perpetrated by this company? Have you had any further contact with Elizabeth Holmes? Have you been contacted by the authorities? I understand if you don't want to discuss this (or if you can't for legal reasons), but I felt compelled to ask. Thanks for doing this AMA.

thenewyorktimes16 points·17 hours ago·edited 17 hours ago

I’m happy to discuss this. There was the suggestion that I didn’t do due diligence when I first went to work for Theranos shooting an interview with Elizabeth Holmes and various commercials. I’m not sure they’ve seen the light of day but they’re some of my favorite commercials — phlebotomy horror stories. At that time, Elizabeth Holmes was on the front cover of many, many magazines. Occasionally I turn down commercials if I feel uncomfortable with the product I’m advertising. I have never done cigarette advertising. I turned down JUUL. I have refused to do military advertising. And I essentially turned down BP at the time of the Deepwater Horizon disaster. I asked them if they would be willing to hire Mel Gibson as a spokesperson, standing on an offshore drilling rig saying, “I know what it means to have a public relations disaster.” They declined to do it. But really, I do not investigate the companies (for the most part) when I sign up to do their advertising. (I worked for Steve Jobs; I never investigated Apple.) When everything fell apart, I was shocked because I believed in Elizabeth Holmes. I feel, rightly or wrongly, that most of the television programs and movies about her have missed the mark. Did she do bad things? Most assuredly. The question remains, why?

Reading a gag manga called Say Hello to Mr. Wallaby about an Australian Quokka who immigrates to Japan to become a teacher, and I do enjoy the mom's conception of a hunky foreigner here.
A mother and daughter are discussing the daughter's new teacher. The daughter is discussing a Quokka in human clothes and says "He's super fuzzy and really cute, but he reads BUSHIDO and he loves Dango and Ketchup and Creamed Corn Soup!" to which the mom imagines a bear of a man in overalls and a polka dotted undershirt with a huge beard and large eyes with exaggerated lashes "So he's a Japanophile with a big appetite? Wild and cute, you say? Sounds like quite the hunk."

The idea that none of this kids' classmates have ever noticed that he's insanely jacked because he has a baby face and wears a school uniform is the most hilarious suspension of disbelief thing in Kengan Asura so far.
The kid from Kengan Asura's classmates mock him because he said he wanted to fight a world class MMA guy out loud and he maintains his secret double life as a fighter by pretending to be embarrassed, but one girl notices his VERY defined back muscles and arms through his gym shirt which no one else seems to ever recognize.
