Same TBH.

Between that and the phone call, there were actually a few moments that got me misty-eyed for an ostensibly silly caper.

A good opportunity to let people know that the Tom Waits needle drop in Wake Up Dead Man is one of the best in cinema this year.

Religion and Tom Waits I don’t talk about religion, or spirituality, often in public. I’ve done it once before here getting into family history and all but that’s it. In that post, as an aside really, I…

Happy 76th Birthday to Tom Waits. I wrote a bit about my fave song of his, and why, a while back.

don't worry, john roberts says this is a legitimate exercise of presidential power and if we did anything to curb it, we would be robbing the executive of the energy he needs to do his job

If such a thing was actually within reach, these AI shills would be showing us genAI is the art of the future rather than just telling us, in increasingly stern and frantic tones.

It’s telling how, whether it be music or film or whatever else, the AI companies are less keen to invest in creators capable of making this worthwhile genAI art that they claim is possible than they are to pay off established names to come out saying genAI is inevitable and unstoppable.

'Life being stressful is not an illness' - GPs on mental health over-diagnosis Hundreds of GPs in England tell the BBC they are also worried about a lack of help for patients.

The fact that many GPs don't believe people with mental health conditions will not be news to those of us with mental health conditions who have had to deal with these cunts.

Kudos on the BBC for continuing to manufacture consent to take away our rights and healthcare though.

There is plenty about this that’s disgusting, but one detail I find particularly odious is how the UK Government love pushing the image of migrants who “take” from the system, all while actively blocking migrants from working and contributing and punishing them if they try.

When Labour is practically wiped electorally in the next election the remaining MPs will probably conclude that they didn’t veer to the right enough.

this has become a very important video to me

It’s that time of year where my friends will be getting Christmas cards and tags on Christmas gifts that say, “Love John.”

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Our gorgeous #WakeUpDeadMan end credit portraits, painted from life by Isabella Watling. We’re still in theaters, see my pinned post for a theater finder!

bubs, i’ve only got two, maybe three Motown puns left in me. Four tops.

Bit of a harsh review for Alex Automatic, don’t you think?

Congratulations to @fraserc69.bsky.social, the inaugural winner of the John Lees Peace Prize. May you forever cherish the honour of receiving this prestigious award for all your inspirational work in bringing peace, love and unity to the world.

We're live, pal!

Nolan actually already jumped ship from Warner to Universal, ironically enough over them fucking with his cinema release windows.

I’ve said before that physical media like Blu-Rays aren’t dying, they’re being intentionally murdered. And I guess you could say the same about cinemas.

thinking about all the time and care put into shooting One Battle After Another and Sinners in niche film formats, and the sheer beauty of the results on projected celluloid. A Netflix-owned Warner Bros will still release movies; I doubt it will release movies like that.

Just did a final read-through of ORLA! before the complete graphic novel goes to print, and it's a good feeling when your own comic makes you go like...

Orla Bard, looking radiant, hugs Gwyn, a look of fear in her eyes.

New Year, New Orla? Find out when ORLA! #5 is released on 24th December!

Okay do Blu-Ray releases next, Ted.

One of the truly great cartoonists of our time. You need this.

Good point. It’s easy to forget that Paramount ended up as the grovelling Trump lackeys in the first place because FTC got them over a barrel dangling their approval got big-money mergers over their heads.

Netflix was about the least cruddy option, but it feels dirty to see the studio that has released some of the biggest “the big screen cinema experience may not be dead after all” success stories of the past couple of years get consumed by the “we hate giving films cinema runs” streaming giant.
