Need to reevaluate some lifelong friendships as I am only just now finding out that Michael Mann’s The Keep (1983) is basically a Tangerine Dream music video by way of Jack Kirby comics

Hobbit Day (the shared birthday of the intergenerational Baggins boys) was yesterday, but I didn't post any hobbits! So here are some of the ones drawn up as part of the absurdly big LOTR set I've been doing this year, plus honorary hobbit Gandalf.
Watercolored drawings, with named bases, for the story-consequential hobbits present in the first half of FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, and also Gandalf.

Surely it should be Bruce Wayne day and Batman night and no-one ever realises why they’re on the same day?

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

Love and respect to John Rhys-Davies but it would’ve been pretty cool if Tom Waits voiced Treebeard just so they could have him do the song

A dog catcher talks to Grandpa Nutmeg holding a large net out behind him horizontally, the net hanging down like a basketball hoop. Heathcliff jumps up and throws a pug into the air towards the net with great form as the dog catcher says "He's got a high pug percentage."

A few weeks ago I saw a commercial for like genAI or sports betting or something and it was like “don’t bet against the underdog” and one of the examples they depicted was the Spartans at Thermopylae. And like… my brother in Zeus, they lost. The were the underdogs and they FAMOUSLY lost.

Heathcliff flies out of a cannon set up in his backyard, soaring into the air as smoke billows out of the cannon. Grandma Nutmeg watches from her back window with a friend and says "He doesn't believe in staycation."

in 2026 instead of lore-diving whatever giant franchise benefits from your engagement try doing it with any writer/director with a substantial body of work but no “fandom”. Marie Ndiaye. Maryse Conde. Samuel Fuller. See where it gets you. If you gotta have a static setting do Mervyn Peake

I am embarrassed to have an opinion about what a director I’ve only seen I think 3 movies by said on a podcast but every time I’ve ever seen Matthew Lillard in a movie I’ve enjoyed it; giving props to work you like rules over being catty and rude, & people who think catty and rude is good are bores

In the new ALTER EGO, Roy Thomas decides to settle the "who created Wolverine" question, by -- repeating his claims, publishing it in his own magazine, and claiming that's the end of the story. Including making claims about what Len Wein would think and say, were he alive to tell everyone that...

Every comic creator's obituary is like, he created this iconic character who was in a movie that made $700 million last year. He died with a net worth of $12 after the publisher countersued him.

I’ve noticed a lot of artists REALLY dislike when their OCs are compared to other characters. I don’t. When people say that my characters remind them of/look like something else, I actually enjoy it. It’s cool to see where people identify influences or similarities in character designs. It’s fun.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
