YouTube video by Glenat BD Sibylline, chroniques d'une escort girl - La nouvelle BD de Sixtine Dano

The love and care put into some of these promo trailers is incredible to see! I was really struck last year by and regularly return to the one for my favourite BD of 2025, Sibylline. This one will no doubt be the same for 2026.

Sure, though I like to believe we're a bit more hygienic today and public baths don't feature a literal layer of filth floating on the surface anymore...

There was an article recently about how studies showed the Pompei baths were really just people bathing in the piss, sweat and dead skin of others and ... I really didn't need to know that ...

I've had little interest in the movie, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit I click that new Kenshin Yonezu video every time Youtube recommends it to me (which is basically daily😅)

I'm not of the Muppet Show generationat all, but regularly put on episodes while I had Disney+ and it's not just nostalgia. Someone like Ronstadt singing Blue Bayou with the Muppets is just great still. I hope they manage to recapture that magic with the upcoming special

It's apparently got unnecessary AI stuff crammed into it too, in true modern Hollywood fashion...

👍 Great, ordered mine!

Received the subscriber email already but quickly wanted to ask, since it's a considerable sum for me, if, based on the Kiki here, "Hayao Miyazaki, artist's choice" would be an enjoyable request before I commit?

Not the answer you're looking for, but I'll echo that it doesn't seem to be available in ebook format through any of the major stores here in Belgium. Taproot is available without issue, but I couldn't find any carrying Hello, Sunshine.

things that brain can come up with if you feed it nausicaa, ff tactics advance and jin-roh at the same time

Stunning!

first wash 🎆

@remmukh.bsky.social absolutely knocked this one out of the park! If you haven't commissioned them yet, you're missing out!

My guess is they don't even have enough info on the remaining lost ones to list them on Letterboxd?

Georges Méliès - BBC Bitesize Georges Méliès, The magician who transformed cinema forever.

Oh yeah, Letterboxd definitely does, I'll probably never complete my Kurosawa 100% on there thanks to the one he had erased from existence, but Méliès actually made even more. This BBC article pegs the number at over 500!

And that's not even counting the hundreds he destroyed! The sheer amount of films some of these people made in those days is insane

the first drawing of the year >:)

It was snowing this week, so I was in an appropriate mood to finish this page.

Oh, and you definitely don't need an American credit card for the Criterion Channel, I've been subscribed for years without one.

If you're ever looking for hard to find movies, there's some great websites for those like rarefilmm.com and rarelust.com among others. Valerie's definitely on there, though the download is real slow without a premium sub rarelust.com/valerie-and-...

Phew! Was about to say absolute criminal behavior not to pick up such beauties

Are these commissions that were never picked up by their commissioners?

As a teacher working with teens, I feel it's gotten easier and easier for kids to come to hold these beliefs as their social media algorithms slowly bombard them with the right-wing topic du jour

A couple more of these sketchbook drawings (our good ol' pal Mito, and a REALLY nasty flying bug!) are available behind my Patreon's paywall!

Can't wait for Rob's homework pitch on it next week!

Their search engine is such a mess yes. I let my subscription lapse in October after the machine translation stuff but are they still doing that thing where you'll look up a series, get a result but then it's only a trailer or sth?
