‘Everything I know about evil I learned in that small town’: John Carpenter on terrifying the world with Halloween, The Thing and The Fog

RIP Sam Neill, a brilliant actor with the range to play both warm father figures and off-kilter freaks in beloved blockbusters and horror genre gems.

There’s a new microcinema in town. Get to know Memory Dance on Chapel Walk, an archive of sound and vision, showcasing memories from Sheffield’s distinctive cultural landscape. Plus a gallery and record shop. Words by Joe of @reelsteelcinema.bsky.social: ourfaveplaces.co.uk/where-to-go/...

40 years ago... BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA

This month! Interworld (@interworldmedia.bsky.social) and Reel Steel present a live audio-visual event... Featuring Sculpture (@plasticinfinite.bsky.social), Rhizocorp (fka Soborgnost) and more. Friday July 31st at Arley Street @cadssheff.bsky.social: reelsteelcinema.com/intersteel/ #Sheffield

Rest in Peace, Akihiro Miwa. Moro's cackle still echoes in our hearts.

Some Mahiro Maeda mecha-designs for The #ANIMATRIX The Second Renaissance. IMO Maeda gets extra credit for rendering the Wachowskis' vision in grand style while also creating a personal statement—each shot, stylish, filled with humor (or horror). #THEMATRIX #前田真宏 @lillywachowski.bsky.social

Are you a musician? Apparently this is one of the databases that the music GenAI programs like Suno are "trained" on. You can search this to see if any of your work was stolen. I was very disappointed to see my late father's music on here. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Something in Nishimi’s characters that got to me was, without particularly resembling TEKKON era Taiyo, they have a charm/warmth/emotion that belongs to the same world (while being distinct). I’d never seen anime chara like them 💜 💜 💜 #Tekkon #鉄コン #AmerBeton #松本大洋 #Taiyo #西見 #Nishimi #anime #アニメ

Shinji Kimura did a mountain of production design (usually a couple of these drawings each day) and we started storyboarding as soon as he was finished designing. #Tekkon #鉄コン #AmerBeton #木村真二 #anime

Hi! I don't think Toho has a bsky so I'll post it - my first commissioned work for all the official Godzilla channels and I handmade everything that isn't a toy. Enjoy xo

Three views of Treasure Town (宝町) by #Tekkonkinkreet Art Director, the great Shinji Kimura. #Tekkon is the story of a city, and one of the 1st things I said to Shinji in our 1st meeting was, "Let's make Treasure Town the star of the movie." #鉄コン #AmerBeton #anime #アニメ #松本大洋 #TaiyoMatsumoto #木村真二

#TEKKONKINKREET theatrical poster #1, layout by Character Designer / Animation Sup. Shojiro Nishimi + BG by Shinji Kimura, our Art Director. (One mistake: balloon adverts in BG were inadvertently duped 😖) Poster design → @ksnty.bsky.social 🏆 #鉄コン #Tekkon #AmerBeton #anime #アニメ #西見祥示郎 #木村真二 #松本大洋

#TEKKON Scene 1 shot 14 BG and animation layout Start wide then, at the end, do a quick zoom in to crow on tower. This is from 2005.12.9, so about halfway in our shots. <Probably> by assistant animation sup. Takayuki Hamada. #鉄コン #AmerBeton #anime #アニメ #松本大洋 #TaiyoMatsumoto
