Just got out of Powell & Pressburger's adaptation of the Odyssey. The use of black and white for Odysseus' journey and colour for his home in Ithaca was a stroke of genius, and David Niven was inspired casting as Antinous.

I'm ever on a plane with one of these then you can be sure I'll be standing up and countering with a lecture on Buffy - the true saviour who died and rose again (and died again and rose again again)

I have hay fever. You don't speak for me. BUT last year I had to eliminate caffeine from my diet due to a health scare, and this year my hay fever suffering has reduced MASSIVELY. Turns out taking antihistamines wasn't enough, and no longer filling my system with histamine-generating stuff helps

FFS So AI "hallucinations" have thus far cost a senior police officer his job and nearly cost this woman her life, and STILL the government is insisting it gets integrated into fucking everything.

At 19 years of age, Alex Toth landed work for the Green Lantern book. During this, he became very ill and stressed about deadlines. His mother called the offices and he soon received this letter.

I come back to this tumblr post again and again

Yeah - and when the closest thing we had to a "cinematic universe" was Clooney's Batman making a quick joke about Superman. But also growing up in an age where modern visual effects arrived and developed. It's all about having the patience rather than an instant need for gratification.

Now I know why they call him "Eel" O'Brien...

In a couple of days I'll be launching Volume 3 of the Beatles Film Posters series. Here's a look back at the twenty posters that made up Volume 1...

Thank you kindly! Had no idea Krush were a Sheffield act. But then I'd never thought about where they came from at all...

Should probably specify - pre-1997

Hive mind. Putting together a playlist of acts from Sheffield for reasons* Who/what am I missing? open.spotify.com/playlist/3UL...

No more than all y'all deserve

@sararoseg.bsky.social + the team have done a cracking job and I await the weekly drops like nobodies business. Also, I REALLY want cake now.

Listened to the first episode of @thedailytism.com's new audio sitcom this morning and was not disappointed. Gotta love people staring at you as you laugh out loud walking down the street. open.spotify.com/episode/5e9h...

There are many, many great things about Nolan's Odyssey. But for me the standout is that somehow a man who made three Batman films somehow put the best cinematic "Batman vs a sneering bad guy barking orders and his henchmen" fight scene in THIS movie instead.

He looks way too much like Freddy Quimby for my liking

Showcase. It needed that big screen, too!
