A tweet: "I kind of adore Spider-Man fans — they'll go the mattresses over how one version is PEAK and another is SAUCELESS and the two versions in question will be like" and then I post two drawings of marginally different Spider-Mans

Bringing this one back out

I always loved 3PO carrying the luggage.

I wonder if Lucas was still playing around with the idea of Cloud City being a sanctuary for clone refugees from the Clone Wars when this was painted.

Seems like Robin or Rizzo would be Frodo in that scenario (also, all of the Hobbits just being rats means that the Ents can be, like, the random little trees you’d see in front of a neighborhood coffee shop)

“Can you read my mind?”

Yeah, despite being based out of New York, Rankin-Bass used the Crawley animation studio out of Canada for its early 2D animation efforts and used Canadian voice actors up until after the first Rudolph TV special.

Episode 04: King Denslow of Oz — Imaginary Worlds The Wonderful Wizard of Oz started as a perfect partnership between writer L. Frank Baum and illustrator W. W. Denslow. But they became bitter rivals, with each owning half the copyright to the 1900...

Neill wasn't Baum's first Oz artist, however:

Just another transboy with his pumpkinheaded son.

All the AI-infected Wizard of Oz bullshit this week got me thinking again about how beautiful (yet still often delightfully freakish) John R. Neil's artwork for the original Baum books was.

That's, uhhh…a *slight* improvement, to say the least: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9vJ...

YouTube video by Ben Cook Alefgard - 4 - Dragon Quest III HD 2D Remake Switch OST Soundtrack

I'm getting to a part in the Dragon Quest III 2D/HD remake where you start running into stuff from NES Dragon Warrior, and how beautiful these orchestral covers of that game's music are is making me really look forward to the remakes of those first two games this fall:

The Art of The Art of Lower Decks

Shit, if I was a bayooteeful lady, I'd be buying that all the time, too

Seems like half the point should be able to just submit an unpolished/unfinished piece for the cover

I used Dr. Bronners peppermint soap on my bits and it was like snowmobiling pussy-first through a tundra

Tired: AI Art
Wired: Jell-o branded "Willow" coloring/activity books from 1988

Oh shit!

Yeah, I don't see the few Lower Decks nods get mentioned, at least.

Also, this might be get be to go back and re-read We Have Engaged the Borg, if just to figure exactly what happens when things get meta-weird in the Federation President's office.

Is it weird to be concerned about Nintendo not announcing actual release dates for the rest of its Switch 2 games coming out this year, just as most people are wrapping up Donkey Kong Bananza?

(Also, holy hell that game is long. But not in a bad way!)

Fucking idiots.

(Also, congrats to Paul Walter Hauser for getting paid this summer.)

by the way I welcome your NYC shopping suggestions for blurays, video games, and comic books.
(I know Forbidden Planet sells two of the three)

That's what I don't understand - we've got from actual criticisms of a movie to just pointing out random dumb shit.

"This film stock looks weird. Why aren't there any modern songs in this? How come they swear? Why they use Twinkie instead of healthy vegetable?"

Who said what the first time?

SO many CCHes are getting pounded this weekend

Yeah, because it was a movie made 40 years ago. Jesus fucking Christ.

What does that have to do with anything?

I mean, at least Quasimodo is a relatively flat pile of abstract shapes, but even if Esmeralda is somehow heavily-referenced, I don’t know how you’d even go about filming that reference.

Shit, just drawing her bare feet accurately in 3D space would be enough to cause most animators to
