Loved Resident Evil! It's such a fun film to see at the cinema.

My review of Resident Evil: YEAHH VIDEO GAMES

Bryan is a medical courier, a guy who transports organs, and he's just finished his shift, but with a hard conversation waiting for him at home, he decides to take on one last job for double the pay. The job: get an organ to Raccoon City Hospital.

It took longer to write that than it did for the film to set all that up. Bryan's job, his home life and his quest to Raccoon City is enough to get us going, and along the way, we learn along with Bryan how massive the stakes are. It's a propulsive, thrilling theme park ride let down only by the shit representation of fat people which the Resident Evil franchise already has.

The fat fella in the sewers seen in the trailer turned out to just be a big fat guy, albeit one containing infected rats. No lines, no backstory, just a vessel for a shocking scene. Paul Walter Hauser's character was a bumbling idiot out of his depth who was funny, but he was gratingly stupid. Why would he honk the horn in the worst city on Earth? It played into stupid fat guy stereotypes.

Despite that, I enjoyed the rest of it. We never leave Bryan's perspective as he goes from set piece to set piece so the tension builds and builds until its tragic climax.

“Rejection” means that someone in the chain is looking for a German Shepherd and you’re handed them something else. Perhaps it was a chihuahua. Perhaps a bicycle. The fact that you didn’t give them the German Shepherd they want doesn’t mean your bicycle is bad, it just means it’s a bicycle.

Rorschach spends almost all of chapter 1 breaking into people's homes and offices, freaking them out, and then fucking off.

Front cover of the graphic novel Watchmen. The principle characters stand there: Dr Manhattan at the back, then in a line there's Ozymandias, Silk Spectre, Nite Owl and Rorscach, then kneeling in from of them is The Comedian. Behind all of them is a yellow clock which shows that it is a few minutes to midnight

I am surrounded by creatives who push through SO MUCH and get shit done. People who keep making, who kick problems out their way and do everything for themselves. And also by technology workers who give up the minute a hurdle is presented to them. No curiosity. No ability to think around problems.

Beautiful lettering trick in My Hero Academia: two characters speak at the same time and their speech balloons overlap like a venn diagram, leaving a blank space in the middle

An awkward dinner scene in the manga My Hero Academia in which a family and friends try to talk, but they speak at the same time, so their speech balloons overlap like a venn diagram. Where the balloons overlap, the area is clear, as we cannot read what either are saying there

Underpainting mostly done! I think the background is gonna be super fun to paint, I think it needs some more little wiggly guys behind elric. Apologies to Louboutin shoes.

Elris floating through the air against a morass of chaotic tenticular life, eyes and tenticles and spurs writhing around him. He's wearing a sexy black and red cape, wielding a jet black rendition of stormbringer and armoured in shiny black gothic armour.
