Dec 31st - Wolves attack, killing the last of the trappers dogs and the trapper himself, but not before he hands Jean Kayak his trapping guide

📽️📅 Hundreds of Beavers (2024)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Hundreds of Beavers" (2024): First, two figures sit in a snowy landscape illuminated by a campfire and a lantern, with the caption "11:00 P.M. DECEMBER 31st." Second, a close-up of a bearded man wearing a fur hat shaped like an animal, staring ahead with intensity. Third, a dark forest scene with falling snow, where numerous glowing pairs of eyes peer ominously through the trees.

2025: A Year in Pictures.

A Happy Hogmanay to all.
x.
The Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover, but it's all 2000AD related. Spent 3 days making this, and it was a fantastic distraction from, well, everything, really. All images are copyright of Rebellion and the respective artists. An image of Antoine from 'The 400 Blows' has been given a greenish tint and is now the album cover for The Smiths called "Nobody Wants Crispbread With A Prawn Cocktail". This came about thanks to Johnny Vee's challenge on Bluesky - "Your Smiths album name is the mildest complaint you had about your latest bar or restaurant experience." The image of Jaden Smith from this year's Grammy Awards showing him in a black suit with a haunted castle on his head, except the castle is now The Big Yellow Teapot. "Café Terrace At Night" by Vincent van Gogh. A starry, night-time scene depicting a cobbled street with a lively, after dark café culture. There are a mix of houses and establishments lining the street. Lying on his back in the foreground, and being knelt on by 2 coppers while another leans down to restrain his hands, is a very angry man. There is a woman in faux fur jacket expressing her displeasure with either the police or the man on the floor. Maybe all of them. Who knows?

I hope tomorrow night you are all blessed by the New Year Good Luck Lemon Piglet ❤️...
The Nightmare by Henry Fuseli, but in place of the demon sitting on the breast of sleeping woman, it's a good luck lemon piglet.

At first I thought the Six Million Dollar Man was sassily marching past with a boombox, taunting Bigfoot with loud music, and Bigfoot was yelling, "ArrrrrRRRR! TURN IT DOWN!!! I do not like Kool & the Gang!"

Why do people keep depicting cyclops with a nose under the eye? the olfactory nerves would have to go all the way down and round and up behind the eyeball and get all caught up with the optic nerves. If they had evolved the nostrils would surely be more on the cheeks. Welcome to my TED talk.
A cylops with a human nose and one with nostrils almost either side of the eye.

In Iceland he is called Lyklaborðsgubbi or "keyboard goblin". He lies in wait in gullies, green rooms and recording studios and uses his grotesque boogie woogie piano to befoul perfectly good songs and steal the limelight from other musicians.

'...Odd Man Out is outstanding; literate, achingly beautiful, a haunting score, wonderfully acted and deftly directed. It is probably Carol Reed’s masterpiece...'

Dec 27th - The Department of Defense issued a paper, claiming no evidence of UFOs.

📽️📅 The Thing from Another World (1951)
4 Screenshots from the movie "The Thing from Another World" (1951): First, a black-and-white frame showing three men in military-style jackets and hats sitting in a cockpit; one holds a pamphlet/magazine as the subtitle reads, "You ever read this? 'Department of Defense, Office of Public Information.'" Second, the same men seated, with the subtitle reading, "Washington, D.C. December 27, 1949." Third, the men remain in the same positions as the subtitle states, "The Air Force has discontinued investigating and evaluating reported flying saucers..." Fourth, the scene continues with the subtitle reading, "...on the basis that there is no evidence."

It’s the 32nd anniversary today of one of the greatest chase sequences in the whole history of the motion picture, which means it’s also the anniversary of the single greatest sound effect 🧵👇

Well, it’s the day after Wallace and Gromit rode again – and it’s the 31st anniversary of the first appearance of the greatest sound effect in the history of the motion picture, so here’s the story of how (I found out how) they made it...
Plasticine dog Gromit lies slumped against a (plasticine) kitchen cabinet, holding a milk bottle. Trapped up to his neck in the bottle is Feathers McGraw, notorious criminal penguin

There's been a lot of talk about ghost stories in the run up to Christmas, but one that never gets mentioned is "The Return" (1973). Essentially a 2-hander starring Peter Vaughan & Rosalie Crutchley (cinematography by Douglas Slocombe) it's wonderfully creepy. Avoid reviews: they're full of spoilers
A pensive Peter Vaughan, in Edwardian clothing and bowler hat, ascends the darkened staircase of a house with a dreadful past.

After a remarkably underwhelming day of terrestrial TV offerings, BBC2 are attempting to make amends from 21.15 onwards with possibly the first showing of 'Jaws' on any of the BBC channels - which thankfully means no ad breaks - followed by the documentary 'Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story'.

Dec 25th - Ralphie gets his Red Ryder B.B. Gun for Christmas. The family then go for a Chinese dinner after a pack of dogs ate their turkey.

📽️📅 A Christmas Story (1983)
4 Screenshots from the movie "A Christmas Story" (1983): First, a young boy wearing a pink bunny costume stands awkwardly at the top of a staircase, looking embarrassed. Second, the same boy aims a BB gun with intense focus, wearing large round glasses. Third, he lies in the snow clutching his face, seemingly hurt, with the BB gun lying beside him. Fourth, a family sits at a table in a Chinese restaurant, surrounded by staff singing or interacting with them in a festive setting.
