#NowWatching Fresh
Feeling tired tonight, thought I’d watch a film and drift off to sleep. This was definitely the wrong choice…

As the richest guy in the world, Musk could leave one hell of a legacy. He could solve world hunger or build Carnegie-like centres of knowledge. Be the kinda guy whose name lives on for all the right reasons

Instead he's chosen to stoke race hate, wreck twitter and appoint himself Wanker of the Age

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.

I would’ve been 10 when I first saw this page in Prog 459. Still think it’s got one of the best cliffhangers ever…

Ava was a complete disappointment. How do you make a film about a assassin so boring? And why squander such an amazing cast? 😩

Dispelling harmful misinformation about M&S 'trans' bra fitting row Dangerous misinformation over an M&S 'trans' bra fitting story is spreading online; here's what we actually know.

The moment I saw that "trans bra" M & S story I sensed it was nonsense.

Seconds later, having read the Telegraph piece I knew it was worse than that. It was deliberate hate mongering completely devoid of evidence, names and facts.

Superb job of debunking it here

Never seen Murder By Decree until now - the film’s ok but Plummer is amazing (and makes his way into my top three favourite Sherlocks)

Caught that Fantastic Four movie this morning. Better than the last few years of Marvel films but not an all time classic

A page of art by Mike McMahon Page of Mike McMahon from "Slaine - Sky Chariots". An airborne chariot swoops towards the viewer (one of several in flight). In the foreground, an Eagle flies up, having caught a fish.

Can we all just take a moment, a deep breath, and gaze in awe at Mike McMahon's jaw-dropping work on "Slaine"? Nothing else quite like it. It's like some ancient artwork, found carved into wood. Or daubed on stone somewhere. It's just... incredible. Some of my favourite comic art by anyone.

So this kills off the tv show? Any chance of those scripts/designs ever being published in the prog? Would love to see it

Silly question but was Kev taking the piss out of DC Comics who stuck this on their covers at roughly the same time?

Why is it that whenever governments take money from the poor it is incentivising them to work and taking money from the rich is a burden on industry?

Fuck this shit let’s incentivise the rich!

You’re right. I love both the series and the movie but neither is perfect. The series can be slow, and sometimes lacks tension. The movie can be frustrating - it’s an extremely streamlined version and cuts out some of the more interesting characterisation and relationships

Ron Smith drew the best citizens - millions of absolute weirdos that would totally need the Justice Department to keep em in line. Today’s artists are amazing but don’t seem to capture this aspect
