I make comics. Usually they're scary. My book LITTLE VISITOR & OTHER ABDUCTIONS is available now from Oni Press.

This may be partly true but Bill Peet the art director and character designer on 101 and a few of the other β€œscratchy” films of that era just drew like that, it was his style and his children’s books look the same.

That being said it’s so slow that it benefits from seeing it locked in at a theater

I will say as much as I enjoyed seeing it in a theater I think you could enjoy it at home if your tv is big enough. It’s surprisingly low budget in a good way but also in a way that doesn’t demand a cinema screen.

The amount of totally different ideas people were throwing around as they filed out of Angel’s Egg was cool to listen to. Everyone felt it was about something else.

Amazing to learn that Kubrick only found the piano piece which so perfectly defines Eyes Wide Shut a week before they finished editing it and two weeks before he died.

I don't understand how there hasn't been just one person willing to leak the full Epstein files in all this time. There must have been hundreds of people who have seen at least significant portions of it by now. Have some backbone!

The thing is. Imagine if anyone spoke to you like this in real life. There's approximately a 50% chance you'd punch them in the face. Every day is such an utter fucking disgrace to the presidency.
