My Frankenstein review:

Going to the pictures to see a frankingstein.

I'm reading this and I'm really enjoying it, but for some reason the one thing that's too silly for me to handle in this novel about a man who fights crime while dressed in black rubber is the fact that Batman has built himself a van to drive around in.

O diar

The debate about the greatest actor to have played the part of The Doctor may never end but surely we can all agree on the horniest.

In 1962, Hawkgirl and Hawkman invented debit cards.

Found this on Ebay for surprisingly cheap. I bloody love the Atom.

Also pretty clear it's only happening now because his mother was proctecting him before, proving once again she wasn't a lovely old grandmother working tirelessly for the nation but a scumbag covering up for her paedophile son.

Obviously this doesn't begin to match the crimes he's been accused of and obviously none of them should have these stupid titles, but I think there's some satisfaction to be had in the knowledge that he definitely hates that he's not a Prince anymore and is most likely miserable about it.

American media seem to have greeted the apparent shift to the right that Trump's re-election symbolises as a huge relief. Like they can undo their belt, breathe out, and let their massive, racist, misogynistic gut just flop out for the first time in years.

Margot Kidder in New York, photographed by Patrick Jarnoux, 1979. You will never be this cool. It’s simply not going to happen. Condolences.

I just saw someone on Reddit say the original Ultimate Marvel comics were bad 'cos they were so wrapped up in the politics of their time that they can only exist as "a time capsule of that era." Mate, I've got some bad news for you about every other comic ever made, all pop culture, & all art.

"Gary? Yes... that was what they used to call me. Dark Gary. That was my name. I am Light Gary, and I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."

He wants to leap into Saddam and plant some WMDs.

Just realised that yesterday was a year since I got published by Scientific American with an article about Superman. I have failed dismally to follow up on this success over the past 12 months but I'm still quite pleased with myself.

Oh man after a historic political annihilation in the Caerffili by-election where their traditional base abandoned them en masse the political geniuses in Labour have decided to piss off the teachers' union.

This is how I'm going to look every time someone dislikes one of my posts

Happy anniversary to Ghostwatch! Huge thanks to Pontypridd legend Steve Volk for writing the most terrifying time I've ever had watching TV.

Buckingham Palace has requested that the public refrain from addressing the former Prince as "Randy Andy" and instead use his full name, Randrew Andrew.

"What is the charge? Being too honourable? Too succulently honourable?"

I sometimes wonder if, when the clock strikes midnight on my 50th birthday, I will suddenly be consumed by the desire to spend the rest of my days aggressively posting "Who?!" under every Facebook post that features a celebrity I don't recognise.

Love that our Labour government seem intent on spending their parliamentary term fighting the next general election, presumably so they can win it & spend another 5 years fighting another general election ad infinitum, like deranged hamsters trapped on a hellish torture wheel of their own making.

As stated below, there are many good reasons why Bezos is wrong, but IMO a big reason is that within a generation or two, nobody will care about space. If space is the exclusive domain of the ultra-rich, what exactly is there to inspire & nurture that natural curiosity young people have about space?

Me: It's actually a good thing if not every comic book is aimed at me and it's exceedingly tedious when fans moan because something isn't exactly to their specific tastes. Also me: This is the least tempting first issue of an Iron Man series that's ever existed and I am personally insulted.

I've written for the Metro on how Starmer's latest attempt to look 'tough' on asylum seeker hotels has exposed him as a coward. A government spending more just in order to inflict greater misery on refugees is beyond contempt - & that contempt is showing up in the polls. metro.co.uk/2025/10/29/k...

Got the best film of 2025 in the post today! (Also the second best Superman film and the second best superhero film ever made)

To please hardcore fans, they should announce they’re wiping the new Doctor Who special the moment it’s made, and never screen it.

Doctor Who is coming back and we now knnow that the best casting will involve a talented, charismatic actor who is in the sweet spot of being not so young that they will leave abruptly for the sake of career progression & not so old that they can't handle the intense pace. Cometh the hour...

This is absolutely spot on. The last episode was diabolical but those two seasons, plus the Tennant specials had some exceptionally strong episodes that I remember people online absolutely buzzing about the next day and it's odd that people are pretending this isn't the case.

I get stress dreams most nights. Usually they're either about presenting to an out of control audience with no script or having to pack all my possessions in a hurry, but last night I desperately needed a shower & eventually had to resort to getting sprayed with a hose by Michael Gambon.

Oh no, this is really disappointing. To the point where I'm wondering whether to even bother getting this Blu Ray collection.

Oh. My. Word.

Me too Mr Tawky Tawny. Me too.

Sexy An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn

Got some great comics at @excelsiorbristol.bsky.social yesterday, including Lois Lane marrying the Devil and the Justice League cover where Brian Bolland invented the idea of Starro crapping out little facehuggers - used to great effect by @jamesgunn.bsky.social in the Suicide Squad.

Big day in comics history! Today is the 35th anniversary of Lois Lane and Clark Kent’s engagement in SUPERMAN 50. The pivotal scene was written and penciled by @jerryordway.bsky.social, inks by Dennis Janke. Trivia: Lois was supposed to turn him down. Jerry called an audible

Since there is no way to plug this photo into my veins I'll be keeping it on my phone instead to use as a handy reaction meme.

🔴The Reform Backlash: Caerphilly By-Election Result Shows Nigel Farage’s Party Is Much Weaker Than It Looks Despite widespread media predictions of a Reform victory on Thursday, Farage’s defeat shows his party continues to be overestimated, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social

Of course now the dust has settled in Caerphilly, Reform can just go back to its traditional way of gaining seats….by getting failed Tories to defect to them

good morning, or as we say round here, bore da

The headline is utterly bizarre. Reform thought they had this, but were crushed. The lesson to be learned is 'Reform's support is five racists and a few million Tories protesting the state of the Tories. They mobilise voters, but only to switch votes to keep them out'.

I'm still smiling. There's just no feeling like waking up to discover that the place you came from isn't dominated by racists.

As Will Hayward shows here, in Caerffili the left voting bloc is almost twice the size of the right voting bloc @almagroschool.bsky.social
