I rewatched Annihilation last night after watching Crimes of the Future and man what a great way to feel really loving nihilistic. Solid double feature pairing.

The 4K of EoT is great, got some fantastic bass, even during the intro news clips. Enjoyed the film itself as well.

Rental Sting posted:Mister Miracle and The Omega Men are also really good. Because of this, I always opted to willfully overlook his dodgy spook past, but christ that quote is not good. Missed the last part. Mister Miracle, Omega Men, Vision and Sheriff of Babylon are still top tier for me. His mini series stuff is a lot more solid than his ongoing stuff which he doesn't do very often. ruddiger posted:I can just imagine the documentary about the CIA psyop poo poo that went on through comic book history. Remember the very so so movie Argo (of Argo gently caress yourself fame), well in the real life true story version of Argo Jack Kirby did fake movie posters for a fake movie (Argo) to help sell the idea that there really was a movie being made in Iran.

I thought what they did was use Kirby's drawings that he made for what was actually an attempt at doing a film of Lord of Light that didn't get past the "pitch to moneymen" stage.

I’m actually midway through rereading Morrison’s Batman run and it really is an absolute banger, he’s definitely done my favourite takes on Batman and Superman, at his best barely any comics writer in history can top him I read a lot of unbelievably mediocre Batman stuff when my parents owned a comic shop and I would definitely put the King I read above 90% of it of it. I’ve never read the Scott Snyder stuff so looking forward to starting that after Morrison’s. Wait what thread is this? I watched Hidden Fortress today. Hell of a lot of fun. Tomorrow I’m finishing off the Apu trilogy and then Saturday got a big screen showing of Yojimbo. The moving pictures…..they are pretty cool

She dies at the end anyways, but in a bed and not in icy waters. That fits with her floating on the door and keeping Jack in the water.

I don't think anyone is using the wrong pronouns on purpose or anything, but quick reminder Grant Morrison came out as non binary several years ago and uses "they/them" pronouns.

I just found out about Tricia's Wedding, the 1971 semi-pornographic drag parody of Tricia Nixon's White House wedding. Does Vinegar Syndrome know about this? Vinegar Syndrome surely must be on this already, right? Should I email them?

Cocaine Bear has massive Snakes on a Plane vibes and frankly you can keep it. Didnt like it the first time around either.

Why would you throw cocaine out of a plane, though? I thought it was for snorting.

I saw Snakes on a Plane three times in cinemas (with friends - we fully bought into the meme) and have seen it as many times since. It’s a good fun B-movie with a great cast.

Has anyone seen Pacifiction (getting US release this weekend after being out forever overseas)? Trying to decided whether to see it, seems like europeans really liked it (Cahiers du Cinema named it #1 film of 2022) but american critics reviewing it for the US release have been pretty bad.

I saw that in 20 the entire editorial staff of Cahiers resigned so I'm not sure if their opinion is worth a drat anymore. They've also always been a bit loopy tbh, even when it was good.

Just finished The Whale. It’s not what I would call a happy film. Very good though. Halfway through I said to my wife that it could be a play, then saw in the end credits that it was based on one.
