I loved the addition of #KimCatrall to the #StarTrek franchise. This #EXO-6 figure is a perfect likeness of Valeris.

More anime than Star Wars ... read my review and see if you agree with what I wrote about Star Wars: Visions Vol. 3. www.original-cin.ca/posts/2025/1...

I'm not a fan of anime, but I can respect how much this means to fans of the genre and this franchise. Apparently it does a good job of staying true to the source material! Read my review of Chainsaw Man: The Movie - Reze Arc www.original-cin.ca/posts/2025/1...

The greatest page in fiction. This is hope.

From the "News to Share Dept." I can announce @screenrant asked me to join their team as Senior Comics Writer & I accepted! My nerdy love for comics began in Scotland emigrated with me to Canada. I'm excited to celebrate with my Comic Creator friends in the future! Excelsior!

A film that I thoroughly enjoyed over the weekend - of course, I am a part of the intended audience! I survived the 80s! See how others did too! Read my review of #ThisTooShallPass www.original-cin.ca/posts/2025/1...

Re-watched Scanners last night. Doesn't hold up from what I remember sadly, but damn me if Michael Ironsides' line doesn't send shivers down the back of my neck. "We're gonna do this the Scanners way: I'm gonna suck your brain dry."

A chance to chat with a film legend. I think I might put on a little of the old Ludwig Von B. My interview with Maldolm McDowell. www.original-cin.ca/posts/2025/1...

Malcolm McDowell's response to my observation that he killed Captain Kirk: "Well. It HAD to be done." Watch for my upcoming interview about his role in The Partisan!

Tonight's celebratory double feature consisted of: Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) Real Genius (1985) ... and a ten-year old Jura.

I really wanted more from this film. Such an amazing historical figure. Here's my review of The Partisan. www.original-cin.ca/posts/2025/1...

Finished my 5k word treatise on the underestimated nature of Amanda Waller, director of the @DCOfficial anti-hero super team, The Suicide Squad. Reading 300+ comics, you are aware of divisions among bad people, people in bad situations, & people who just can't help let you down!

RIP to legendary movie poster artist Renato Casaro. You've seen his art and probably never knew his name. Our condolences to his family and fans throughout the world. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

What a Good Boy! #GoodBoy is in theatres, October 3 - if you're looking for a perfect horror story in time for Halloween, this is it. Here's my review: www.original-cin.ca/posts/2025/9...

Back Issue Magazine #120, June 2020 - "Heroes of Tomorrow" Digital Edition available. twomorrows.com/index.php?ma...

It's funny, but with the resurgence of interest in Space:1999, this article I wrote about the comic from Charleston Comics that came out just after the TV series just resurfaced in my feed! This was also the last interview #NicolaCuti did before he sadly left us. I'm very proud it was mine.

Sigh ... Just didn't get the same joy out of this version of the Zombies as I did with the comic. Like I asked: where's the hunger? www.original-cin.ca/posts/2025/9...

Probably the most underestimated character in comics, not only have I gained a new appreciation for Amanda Waller in writing about her history, but I think I'd enjoy channeling some of her force of personality these days! (Funny how Waller is voicing how I feel!)

What is good in life? Conan The Barbarian: - crush your enemies - see them driven before you. - hear the lamentations of their women. Captain John Kirk the Librarian: - my family is happy and well - bbq and cocktails abound - hear the clicks of my keyboard as I write

Dam, y'all. Wow.

The efficacious effect of having good neighbours means you feel better by being of neighborly service. That means to serve. Neighbours were well-served tonight.

Hey ... #seanastin I've always believed in you. You know this. My family and I send you our whole-hearted congratulations.

My interview with #MelissaCNavia about #StarTrek Strange New Worlds Eoisode 309 "Terrarium" dropped during the hubbub of #TIFF2025 this week! www.original-cin.ca/posts/2025/9...

Heading down for TIFF - DAY 3. On the slate: Bad Apples.

First #TIFF viewing ... #LittleLorraine. Damn. Who says nothing happens in Canada?

Here's the second event (just got confirmed!): I'm having a coffee chat with #SeanAstin tomorrow!

Two end-of-day events made the day worthwhile yesterday! The first was discovering that I'm interviewing Star Trek Strange New Worlds' Melissa Navia (@MCNavia) aka Ensign Ortegas today! The second? I'll keep that mum until confirmation!

Got reminded of this today: "Be curious, not judgemental." Time to be curious.

One of my happiest on-stage interview memories. #SeanAstin and me - I'll never forget the massive hug in front of 500 of my closest friends!

When legends collide! A rare and privileged conversation with the incomparable #KlausJanson and the illustrious #DenysCowan! Yeah ... this panel was more than I could hope for and the audience loved every minute of it! FAN EXPO Canada

Second birthday present: Ant-Man by the incredible #MichaelCho.

Art was another major goal at FAN EXPO Canada this year. Thanks to birthday wishes from my family, the first piece I received was by #CaseyParsons, an artist whose talent is matched by his heart. The little sister I always wanted: Illyana Rasputin, aka Magik.

Been a long time since I've done a signature hunt like this, but ... phew. Omnibuses (Omnibi?), Absolute Editions and Artist's Editions are heavy and my back isn't as solid as it used to be! FAN EXPO Canada

Exceptional panel update. #ChrisCondon #BenjaminPercy #EricaSchultz #MikeDelMundo #SimoneDiMeo More fun than I'm allowed! Many thanks to Matt Ditullio for the panel assistance and the photos! #FanExpoCanada2025

This was classy. Thanks #TimothyZahn. #Thrawn

This is always one of my favourite birthday photos and distinguished by not being a Star Trek photo either! Just cool that HP Lovecraft and I share the same birthday.

Sharing some stolen artwork. As with any and all stolen artwork, I hope it is recovered and returned to the rightful owner. 🤞🏻
