I’m almost at the finish line of my 500,000 steps for Tommy’s charity walk. I’ve done over 350km, walked more than 80 hours, and have blisters BETWEEN my toes (it is hell.) If you can, please consider helping me push towards my next fundraising milestone of £600: www.justgiving.com/page/half-a-...
Did a thing. Did a wildly speculative, hopefully well informed, but ultimately just nerdily indulgent thing. Some banging comics to catch up with in here, so take a look! 🕸️

This loss has really shocked me. The MonsterVerse films aren’t best known for their heart and humanity, but Kaylee Hottle gave them both in abundance as ‘Kong whisperer’ Jia Andrews. 18 is no age to die. She will be sorely missed.
Empire MagazineKaylee Hottle, star of Godzilla Vs. Kong and The New Empire, has sadly died at the age of 18. A trailblazer within the deaf community, Hottle will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with her friends and family at this difficult time. Read our tribute: www.empireonline.com/movies...

Didn’t expect to wake up to the tragic news that Sam Neill has passed away. I loved him as Dr. Grant, loathed him as Inspector Campbell, and secretly wished he was my dad as Uncle Hec… and now I find myself writing his obituary. Strange world. Rest easy Sam Neill, a true great.

Went long on the actual best Toy Story, and decided to hone in on just how fun this film actually is… as well as heartbreakingly emotional, obvs. Also, for the record, FUCK LOTSO!
Empire Magazine"[It's] an adult film for children and a children’s film for adults, that somehow sticks the landing on one of the very best trilogies ever made." Toy Story 3 is the best Toy Story film, writes @JordanMBKing. Read more: www.empireonline.com/movies/featu...

It was a real pleasure to write about I Am Frankelda — Mexico’s first (of many!) stop-motion animated feature — for Empire. This is a wildly inventive fantasy epic with musical numbers and visual flourishes that are SO exciting, and a story with heaps of heart and imagination.
Empire Magazine"A phantasmagorical wonder, bursting at the seams with bright ideas and jaw-slackening designs." Mexico has its first stop-motion feature in the form of The Ambriz Brothers' epic musical fantasy I Am Frankelda — streaming on Netflix now. Read our review: www.empireonline.com/movies...

This trailer has had 78 million views on YouTube alone in the last 48 hours?! That’s insane! And, as if any were needed, proof that audiences globally still clamour for and resonate deeply with handcrafted, human-made animation. As a fan of Colin Meloy’s books, this looks incredibly special.

Something I’ve wanted to write for a long time, and something I couldn’t have had Stefan Golaszewski’s new drama Babies not existed. There’s very little writing out there from men on the pain of baby loss, but I decided to dig deep and put down some words in the hopes of helping change that.
