Ok, now I'm crashing out. Nite nite all, and thanks for the stories 🌙

Unwittingly own a few. Received from a Professor in college who was getting a divorce and giving all his books to students willing to help him move out. Did not know what they were at the time. Don't like destroying books, don't wanna pass them on, so they're somewhere in a box that's now book jail.

🌹I love how everything about this movie screams "featured on best of the worst while not actually being chosen as the best of the worst"

Cabot! Cabot! Cabot! Oh Cabot! Cabot! C'mon Cabot! Cabot!! Cabot!!!

watched CYBORG tonight, a movie that only exists because Cannon had already sunk $2 million dollars into costumes for HE-MAN 2 and SPIDER-MAN and now couldn't make either. Pyun wrote it in a weekend and shot it in 23 days. a dude lost his eye, possibly in a shot IN the movie?

if anyone on earth has the script of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 2 by Albert Pyun please direct me to it. I have only ascertained the following: starring surfer Laird Hamilton He-Man is a football player now Skeletor was gonna be a hollywood director the subtitle was "Revenge of the Beast"

does a movie need a plot. can it not simply have: a hat

Now watching Gor II: Outlaw of Gor (Cardos, 1988)

If you watch it again, pay attention - they only really use that one song for most of the movie. XD (Cover of the song) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOAo...

Now watching Gor (Kiersch, 1987)

Now watching Deathstalker II (Wynorski, 1987)

No one is free until Palestine is free. 🇵🇸

Now watching Death of a Unicorn (Scharfman, 2025)

Okay, I thiiiink it's working? Time for a secret soft launch of my new online store! Just between you, me, and 91K other people right now! gregpak.com/shop/

Ughhhh I am SICK

Now watching The Choppers

One of the most underrated design skills in games is graphic design for things like decals and fake branding for posters/stickers/flyers/books/props/signs/displays. We take this stuff for granted and yet they are very much a world building detail that adds so much more life to environments.

Another one

Two Capcom Queens

AND ANOTHER THING, WHILE I'M AT IT: ENOUGH WITH THESE BULLSHIT CLAIMS THAT AI CAN REPLACE HUMAN TRANSLATORS!!! Translation is *not* the science of finding the perfect definition of a word from a foreign language and putting that definition into the text. Translators translate, of course. But!

THIS. Read Asterix in English, and see how Hockridge and Bell don’t just transliterate but remake whole puns and wordplays that sparkle in English culturally as well as linguistically. Flawless work that simply cannot be done without true understanding of *the concept of meaning*

Two weeks ago I spent the whole day at the Museum of the Moving Image to listen to New Yorkers. This is what Liam shared with me.

I was wondering why he was standing and then I got to the end and... I really like this dude.

Here’s to 2026

Time to finally read the artmic fan book

Hi #PortfolioDay Im Bruce, an illustrator, creative director & printmaker based in Cape Town, RSA. Big fan of old goofy SFF covers & forced perspective and experimentation. Nice to meet you :) ILLO: www.instagram.com/bad_manifesto FA: www.instagram.com/oombruce

OKAY DO PHONES NEXT 2026, THE RETURN TO CD/CASSETTE FUTURISM!!!!!!!

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

Batman forever is still a good movie

These clowns are just making up duties and rules and laws. Artists don't have any duty to sing for fascists, and only a fascist would try to force them to.

Shot in 6 days with props repurposed from other movies. True cinema

Now on in the background, The Phantom Empire (Ray, 1988)

I did not get a chance to do personal art before the end of the year and am extremely bummed about it. But still wanted to go out on my own note, so please enjoy these teaser drawings for upcoming projects!! Which one are YOU most excited for? 🤣

This past year I did a lot of research and work that might not pay off for quite a bit, if ever! but that work was important to me. A book also got published, another one is underway, and more writing and art was done. It was another fun trip around the sun, and it's all I could have asked for.

p.s. If you want to make comics, you've got to go and make a comic. Sorry. There's just no shortcut to it. You have to make a comic to show people that you can make comics. Make some friends and make some comics with them. It's fun. Or do it yourself and show it to your friends. That's fun, too!

Everything I've gotten to do was because of someone I'd gotten to know. A friend suggesting me to an editor, or an editor I was friends with who needed help with a crunch. Honestly, just go and make friends with people in comics you like. You'll be way happier and opportunities will often come.

Go to conventions. Meet people. Make friends with people who like the things you like. Talk about books and comics and movies and all the things we all love. Show them what you're working on. Look at what they're working on. Give help if you can, take help if it's offered. That's it.

There's been a lot of talk on here today about networking in books and in comics, and let me just say... We've really got to stop thinking of it as networking. If all you're looking for is business connections, you aren't going to do that well with it. At least in my opinion.

it’s the moooooooost wonderful tiiiiime of the yeeeeeeeeeeear (the 6 days between Christmas and New Year when it is socially acceptable to eat a 2pm breakfast consisting of the wreckage of cheese and chocolate left over from your 2am dinner)

Trump’s decimation of FOIA offices across the federal government is unacceptable. Americans deserve access to the records of the government they fund. Use our new action center tool to tell Congress to keep FOIA offices open.

If you haven't seen CURE, it's pretty much perfect New Year's viewing for 2026.

Watching an interview with Peter C. Newman, learning a little bit about him

Sorry, clarification - I have an immediate need for an Illustration to go with a translation of my short story Children of Dagon and wondered if anyone here had a piece showing a seal/human creature - ideally with a ruined city landscape - ready to go, that I could haggle for. Should be SFW

Illustration friends, reposting in case one of you has something that might work!

“Mark Zuckerberg, current & former Meta executives agreed to settle a $8 billion lawsuit alleging the company’s directors failed to prevent billions in fines & legal costs stemming from repeated Facebook user privacy violations in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting scandal.”

Starting to wonder if that highest grossing franchises list is adjusted for inflation, because those Mickey mouse numbers seem off 🤔

It's an open secret in the anime and manga industry that My Hero Academia is the best-selling cape comic in a generation. A lot of us found it wild in 2021, when NYCC did the surprised Pikachu face after a panel with Horikoshi-sensei hit capacity in two minutes, with hundreds still waiting outside.

"Academics literally cannot make genAI go away" we also can't make underage drinking go away and we're not advocating for installing bar carts in every classroom.
