I used to talk them up because I thought I'd read they cap their markups at double, apparently I was wrong. I've used them during rushes before and always got a warning saying it'd be 25% extra or whatever, nothing this morning. I'm trying to blow them up on twitter at the moment but I only have like 12 followers so that's not really going to do anything. nice self-own

I really wish Kevin Brownlow and David Gill's miniseries Hollywood was on (legal) DVD because it's pretty much a 13-hour crash course on American silent films. One episode just covers cinematography and special effects work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJyND6k3Z1M

It's not to the degree that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is designed, which has whole, complete structures that have nothing in them but scenery and only function as landmarks, but still.

glam rock hamhock posted:The newest character Sanrio came up with seems to be a change of pace for the company... This rules. Also, I promised more OVA's, so here's Dirty Pair! There's more to this series than just the OVA, there's a few movies, manga, and I believe a full TV series, but this is all I've seen. I like this OVA a lot, it's got a classic aesthetic, 80s anime at its peak, and it's just so fun and weirdly wholesome for a cheesecakey comedy/action series. I always felt like it was the anime version of The A-Team. Love that ending theme, too. If you're only gonna scope one episode, episode 2 is a fun take on The Terminator. This episode is a pretty good primer for the OVA as a whole: the way that the COs and the prisoners are both ridiculed and treated flippantly as absurd characters encapsulates the breezy, anti-machismo vibe that I dig about Dirty Pair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUN7Uf7I3D0 Anonymous Robot fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jan 7, 2017 |

Hey y'all, long as we're talking podcasts, we just launched Part 1 of Alcohollywood's full-cast radio drama adaptation of Chris Columbus' wackadoo lost Indiana Jones script, Indiana Jones and the Monkey King. If you ever wanted to hear Indy get caught up in an investigation of murderous Scottish ghosts while on a fishing trip, your ears are in for a treat.

Anyway, if you'd like to get them without paying an absurd markup tfaw.com has the first three collected editions for eight bucks each. The omnibus that contains the same material usually goes for 200 bucks.

Also don't skip the fourth, The Hunt for Green October, if you like the first two. It has Big Head vs. neo-Nazis. It's exactly as loving amazing as that sounds and should have been the sequel to the movie instead of Son of the Mask. e: nevermind, apparently it was never actually collected outside of the omnibus, which is a shame because it's probably the best Mask arc on the whole. You can get the floppies for relatively cheap on Amazon and it's piss easy to  , though.
