@ianmartin.bsky.social Add these to the Christmas dinner shopping list please x

Trying not to get my hopes up for this - but look at that arm!

My #1!

The books “Ghiblioteque” and “The World of Studio Ghibli” on display in a bookstore.

@michaeljleader.bsky.social On proud display in the Ghibli section at Kyobo Books in Seoul (the biggest bookshop in the country)!

I love this! Really want to support the publication in every way, but have to chime in on the international shipping costs, they're too prohibitive. £14.00 for the issue is absolutely worth it - but an additional £24.00 for shipping is wild. I hope you'll work out a better system in the long term.

What movie do you consider perfect?

The book is *superb* and Molly Wryn emerges as the star of the entire oral history, I think. She obviously put her entire heart into the production, and you capture her endearing anecdotes with such warmth. I'm so glad she's getting more recognition now, and your efforts are a huge part of that.

Nowhere Fast is the banger of all bangers!

@extspace.bsky.social thought you’d love this…

Fascination!! Absolutely my go-to comfort episode. Love it.

It’ll get a bajillion new readers, the Compact line has been revolutionary!

@andydiggle.bsky.social Green Arrow Year One is joining the compact line! Congratulations dude!

This is horribly relatable.

We basically see the lightbulb go off above Lonni’s head when he’s told Gorst is being moved to the military’s supervision. He passes off responsibility to his colleague and knows that Gorst can now be targeted without exposing him as a mole. That’s why Bix can finally get her therapy-by-revenge.

Just add another nerdy observation/correction on this point about Dr. Gorst: “If anything, it feels contradictory, because on the bureaucracy side we learned that the highly efficient torturer was getting a major promotion, presumably making him more important and thus more difficult to get at.”

Three “Megabox Original Ticket” tickets to James Gunn’s Superman.

#SUPERMAN is super fun! It doesn’t need to be a perfect film to perfectly set the tone for the new DC movieverse, and I’m enthusiastically optimistic about what will come next.

Yes! The first arc of this series was sensational! Complex but satisfying plotting and some of the most charming and well-written versions of DC’s icons ever. I’m totally invested in what’s next.

Never doubted Mr Big!

Keep the Mr Bears!

One of my favourite Trek things ever! I *loved* those cards for *years* back when they were in regular production. I learned a ton of minutiae, too.

I saw it in a mostly-full screening on Sunday. It’s tremendous!

South Korean theatrical poster for SINNERS

FINALLY seeing Sinners.

That’s lovely! You really ARE so cool, too!

Obvious pick is BUNSHINSABA, Ahn Byung-ki at the top of his game; obscure pick is a HK delight called GHOST EYES about a woman possessed by a demon via haunted contact lenses.

Monty’s ready and waiting! x

Poster for "Alien 3: The Legacy Cut"

Deeply impressed with the work of Project A34K on ALIEN 3: THE LEGACY CUT. It's probably the most I've ever enjoyed the film; it's still disquietingly bleak, but I do admire its adamant refusal to be the sequel anyone wanted or expected.

I’m so excited for Scotty as a season regular. Stupidly hyped, I absolutely cannot wait!

That’s an excellent name for a cat.

Delighted to see my favourite character from the first season of #Andor is back!

The Qui’tu Raptor! I loved all the KDF Pilot ships, but this one is by far my favourite. My first and still my best ever purchase in-game.
