First time watch of the documentary DEUS EX MACHINA: THE PHILOSOPHY OF DONNIE DARKO, followed by my millionth viewing of the film. Can't believe it did so poorly at Sundance. Been obsessed with it for 20+ years. #filmsky #horrorsky

For those of you who were keeping up with the mass market mess, here is a more informative article. Trade paperbacks cost only 30c more to make and are priced $18-20 now, where mass market paperbacks didn't sell at $12. So... there's your answer. It's about margins. boingboing.net/2026/02/10/t...

Black Sketch by D1 Milano

3-part Summer serial from Irwin Allen (LOST IN SPACE, TIME TUNNEL). Later edited into a feature film for overseas. It aired in 1978 on CBS as THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN NEMO. A mishmash of ripoffs of both the serials and the current fad STAR WARS (itself an homage to serials).
