Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film β€˜The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.

After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

The Terrifying Car Crash That Inspired a Masterpiece Fifty years ago, a Kansas family picked up a hitchhiker on their way to Iowa. What happened on that drive became part of literary history.

In 1972, in Kansas, a family of four picked up a hitchhiker. Then they got into a near-fatal car crash. The hitchhiker later chronicled the event in an acclaimed short story that became a movieβ€”and a word-of-mouth hit among Gen Xers.

Whenever people tell me that we are more innovative now than ever, I bring up ESPN Page 2 as an example of how things used to be better.

There actually used to be a website you could go to that would make you smarter about sports and the world around you. Now all you get is betting apps.

Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged Β£9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but Β£17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

Attention, scribes:

"It is in pausing for a word that lies the salvation of all writers. The proof of prose lies in the percentage of right words. Not the precious word: not even the startlingly real word."

It’s a big giant book like what’s in there that could possibly take up all those pages? Believe me, you will be near the end and wonder how it went so fast. I’m a book crybaby I’ll admit it but x3 so far I had to stop and absorb this emotional story. Maybe for the truth of things. Rare lately.
