I'm gonna shave a star off my review just for this guy.

Personally, I have a soft spot for 1986's King Kong Lives, in which the big fella gets an artificial heart and, uh, laid.

The answer is: nothing. It's remarkably self-contained. No homework required. A North Sentinel Islander could understand it.

I liked The Mandalorian and Grogu well enough, but not as much as the post-movie kebab the Scorsese cameo inspired me to buy.

Ah, the latest #DeltaGreen playtest is in hand! 👁️📚 Today’s mission: read through it. Then, over the rest of the week, get it out to the playtest Handlers for June ops. Missed the April playtesting? You can still join the Program (email [email protected]) and run this one for your agents. 😄🎲

Good morning from Erwin Schrödinger

I don't do a lot of interviews, this is a fun one with reader questions about the UNCANNY X-MEN and there's a couple spoilers in there, baby!

As the late and much missed Andrew Vachss used to opine, it's not the breed, it's the owner. Go read Andrew Vachss. Start with Blue Belle.

I swear to God, it'd only take maybe five public executions to settle them down.

Do you know a journalist who might be interested in a story about a plucky little grassroots bootstrapped festival trying to do something positive for the planet? Do you know an influencer who might do a feature in return for a ferry ticket here?

We cannot Operation Paperclip these MAGA fucks. There are no good Germans here.

You may find Garth Ennis crude, but he clocked Gaiman from a mile away.

Oh, well done, that man.

Musket crime is pretty far down my list of worries, tbh.

Street Magic.

Checking out The Boroughs on Netflix and so far the cast is so fucking good I'm nervous the inevitable reveal will let them down.

Hi folks! I’m 2 months out from the end of my current contract, and openly looking for my next role. I’m a content expert with over 10 years xp in content management, strategy, migration and holistic communications (working smarter, not harder, about comms).

Here's the Brian May puppet I designed for Spitting Image Live, sporting his off-stage hair net. #caricature #art

While we're all getting pumped for Ryan Coogler's X-Files, I revisited the other great alien abduction story from 1993, the minor classic Fire in the Sky.

Very interesting thread here.

Despite once again falling back on "refusing the call" nonsense, The Punisher: One Last Kill made me incredibly happy.

Back in my wayward youth when I was doing a lot of acid I liked to light a few candles when I was coming down and chuck on Seven just to groove on the visual texture.

Huge news! I'm co-producing Alexandre O Philippe's new doc IN SEARCH OF NOSFERATU. Our team (including @pattonoswalt.bsky.social) is scouring the world for uniquely aged prints of Murnau's classic. 🚨 CAN YOU HELP? 🚨 Any leads on old prints, VHS, etc, please hit me up! Our treasure hunt is global!

I was watching Warner Bros cartoons from the 40s when I was 10.

I didn't care for Mortal Kombat II, which sucks because I like pretty much everyone involved.

If your idea of a good time is watching Jon Bernthal murder about a thousand guys, The Punisher: One Last Kill will scratch that itch. Social embargo is up, but you gotta wait til tomorrow for the full review.

Your Daily Dracula now enters its sixth year of postings ... the archive is here johnnyalucard.com/2020/11/10/y...

Share a horror movie that isn't talked about enough.

It's very important to me that everyone knows we're finally talking about STARSTRUCK on the pod this week. If you've never seen this movie, for the love of god give yourself this gift. An Australian, working-class, rock musical directed by Gillian Armstrong, who gave us LITTLE WOMEN (1994).

Next level shit from George Michael and Queen.

Just the greatest set any band ever played. Off the goddamn charts. Fuckin' ridiculous. Fuckin' incredible.

Shitty copy, but have David Bowie and Annie Lennox doing Under Pressure.

Just... gosh. Him. Fuckin' wow.

Seal fucking DESTROYS Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever" here. That's a positive, not a negative. I struggle with the language of the youth. Anyway ,good thing, go watch.

Folks, it's been a shithouse week for a lot of us. Here, have this. Go sink a beer or hug a friend or pet your cat or whatever. I don't care what you do. But I care about you.

Live shot.

Hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah.

Stupidity. The answer is stupidity.

Adjourn your asses.

I'm drunk as fuck and watching Braveheart for the first time in at least a decade. A deeply problematic fave. But, good lord, does it rip.
