Someone uploaded footage of the cast of Batman Begins - including Christian Bale and Michael Caine - recording their dialogue for the video game of the movie and talking about the process. There are some very special moments in this footage and I strongly recommend you watch it.

Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Katey Holmes, Morgan Freeman, and more all worked on this forgotten game.

RIP Tom Noonan. If you’ve seen MANHUNTER, then you remember his unearthly Tooth Fairy. Made one great movie as director - WHAT HAPPENED WAS - and a favourite of Charlie Kaufman. I love him in the short film BULLET IN THE BRAIN based on a Tobias Woolf story. “They is.” Beautiful.

RIP Robert Duvall. One of the greatest screen actors. What a career. Immense. Too many great movies to even begin to list them.

Ah the hardback UK annuals of my youth. Marvel UK published the Amazing Spider-Man in their weekly Spidey comic, leaving Spectacular Spider-Man and Marvel Team Up for annuals and specials. Filled out with prose stories, Paul Neary illustrations and a TV show episode guide. Bibles for me as a kid.

Tryout page for Marvel, from the late 1970s. The artist was deemed not worthy. His name? Dave Stevens!

Have asked this before and always like the responses. What are your biggest “I saw that in the first run cinema” flexes? Couple of mine:

Transformers: The Movie (1986)
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

Christ. The thing is people’s utter lack of shame about it. They get angry at you for questioning it. We are doomed.

Young Mann was...intense.
It's the publication day for my new book, HANNIBAL LECTER: A LIFE--a reported look at the creation and impact of one of pop-culture's greatest characters. If you want a sneak peek, here are a few excerpts. First off: The making of MANHUNTER, from @the-ringer.bsky.social: rb.gy/geje11
