This week, we have--what else?--more OFMD art! Monimau2000 captured this devastatingly cool look/moment from the finale, and I love it!

An art print of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's dressed in a British naval officer uniform, with his hair flowing around him. Ed is ducking his head slightly as he puts on a tricorne hat.

Moana, Moana

I remember seeing Moana in the theater the morning before Thanksgiving. After the movie, I left for my parents' house, buying the soundtrack on my way out of town. I listened to it on a loop the whole 3-and-a-half-hour drive (in retrospect, that might've been a clue about the autism)
A doll of Moana is posed on a shelf. Both her arms are slightly bent, lifted like she's poised to do something.

Very cool MCU Echo artwork from @uzuriart.bsky.social !

www.uzuriart.com
An art print from Echo - Maya is shown in closeup, looking over her shoulder. She's set against a black-and-white backdrop with a ring of triangles framing her face. A white silhouette of Wilson Fisk is in the foreground of the piece.

Mo Morrison, Lightyear

I was pleasantly surprised with Lightyear, and it was fun to discover some pretty decent figures from it (only fitting, I suppose, since the origins of the movie trace back to Toy Story!) Mo is my favorite--'cause Taika, of course 😄
An action figure of Mo Morrison is posed on a shelf. He's wearing a gray spacesuit with orange accents, no helmet. Mo is holding a weapon that appears to be some kind of long harpoon gun.

Joe the Postman, Paddington

Hey, I'd already watched two Paddington movies for Peter Capaldi, and now I revisited one and watched a third for Joel Fry. Both are very cute, although neither film has much in the way of screentime for Joel 1/
#JoelFry-days
Screenshot from Paddington in Peru - Joe (Joel Fry) is a lanky light-skinned Black with dark coiled hair and a short beard and mustache. He's wearing a red zip-up track suit, with a mail bag slung over his shoulder and a large manila envelope in his hands. He's standing on the street beside Dr. Jafri (Sanjeev Bhaskar) and Mr. Barnes (Robbie Gee.) He's smiling as he looks to the left.

I loved the design aesthetic for Namor and Talokan in Wakanda Forever. This awesome Namor art is from @morguedesign.bsky.social

An art print of Namor from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. He's wearing his Talokanil jewelry and carrying his spear. Namor is staring ahead with a serious look on his face.

Captain Rex, The Clone Wars

The Clone Wars is a little daunting to me because of its length. I've been making my way through it in spurts, in between other things, but I've definitely gotten into it. I really enjoy getting to know some of the clones, and Rex is my favorite!
An action figure of Captain Rex is posed on a shelf. He's wearing his white Clone Trooper armor with blue accents--it's smudged with dirt. Rex is holding a blaster in one hand, and his helmet is tucked under his opposite arm.

Creature, Stitch Head

This is my second time seeing Joel Fry on the big screen (well, it’s an animated film, so “seeing” is relative)—the first was Yesterday, back in the pre-OFMD days. The film is a bit flimsy, feeling long even at 90 minutes, but I still had a good time 1/
#JoelFry-days
A CGI-animated still from Stitch Head - Creature (Joel Fry) is a large monster with orange fur, long expressive ears, and one big eye. He has mismatched limbs, including a third human-looking arm sticking incongruously out of his chest. Creature leans over a bed that's much too small for him, looking eagerly at Stitch Head (Asa Butterfield - small humanoid with a stitched-together body like Frankenstein's Monster.)

That's right, more OFMD artwork--I'm a patron of the arts, what can I say? 😉 I'm obsessed with this *amazing* Gentlebeard piece from @andreacwhite.bsky.social, the light and color is just beautiful!

www.redbubble.com/people/andyc...
An art print of Stede and Ed from Our Flag Means Death. They're dressed in their 2x05 outfits: Stede in the red shirt from his cursed suit and Ed in his sack cloth onesie. They're kissing, with Ed cupping the back of Stede's neck. They're set against a teal background with swirls of light and color around them.

Wade Wilson, Deadpool

I'm a fight choreography girlie at heart. I love a bit of the old ultraviolence in Kingsman and Kick-Ass, and I love it in Deadpool too. Give me all the guns and blades and Adamantium-skeletons-as-weapons!
A Hot Toy of Deadpool is posed on a shelf. He's wearing his red suit and mask, with a pistol strapped to either thigh, a knife sheathed at his calf, and his katanas sheathed at his back. Deadpool is standing is a wide-legged stance, his feet planted. He's making a heart-hands gesture.

Griffin, Diggers

This is an odd little short, more about mood/notion than tangible story. It’s also the shortest one I’ve watched so far, clocking in around six-and-a-half-minutes. Basically, two men walk into the woods to dig a hole, discussing their lives as they work 1/
#JoelFry-days
Screenshot from Diggers - Griffin (Joel Fry) is a lanky light-skinned Black man with dark coiled hair and a stubbly beard and mustache. He's wearing a maroon long-sleeved shirt and a black beanie. Griffin is sitting in the woods with Michaels (Cary Crankson - white, dark hair, just visible at the edge of the frame.) He's looking at Michaels with his eyebrows raised.

Most of my Our Flag Means Death fanart collection is Ed and Stede, separately or together, but more recently, I've been getting more crew stuff. Especially Frenchie, obviously! This very cute print is from ylissebian--happy Ace Week! 🖤🤍💜

An art print of Frenchie from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing his season 1 outfit with the blue jacket, yellow scarf, and striped shirt. Frenchie is sitting on the deck, perched on top of a cannon.

Yelena Belova, Black Widow

Celebrating Ace Week with my girl Yelena! I loved her as soon as we met her in Black Widow, and I've adored her in every MCU appearance since then. She has my shield and my heart, always 🖤🤍💜
An action figure of Yelena Belova is posed on a shelf. She's wearing her white tactical suit and green vest from Black Widow. Yelena is in a running pose with a gun in either hand, and her upper body is turned so she's shooting somewhat behind her as she runs.

Martin Lowery, In the Earth

This science-meets-religion folklore horror film is wild, and I still don’t know what to make of it. It’s interesting, brutal, and trippy. But I found myself with oodles of affection for the two main characters, and Joel Fry is fantastic in it! 1/
#JoelFry-days
Screenshot from In the Earth - Martin (Joel Fry) is a lanky light-skinned Black man with dark coiled hair and a beard and mustache. He's wearing a salmon-colored button-down shirt over a T-shirt. Martin is gripping a makeshift crutch tucked under one arm while he looks at someone offscreen. His expression is cautiously optimistic.

In love with this Wicked artwork from @clakearts.bsky.social --it's my first one with Fiyero in it, and it's so cool! Can't wait until For Good!

www.inprnt.com/gallery/clak...
An art print from Wicked. It shows Fiyero in his blue and gold outfit, standing against an off-white background with his head thrown back and his arms outstretched. Behind him, he casts a shadow of a scarecrow.

Harley Quinn, Birds of Prey

Harley has been great throughout her time in the DC movies, but IMHO she's at her absolute best in Birds of Prey. Love that movie, and love this figure--the *sandwich*, just perfect!
An action figure of Harley Quinn is posed on a shelf. She's in one of her Birds of Prey outfits: pink sports bra, gold overalls, and roller skates. She has a carnival mallet slung over her shoulder and is eating a breakfast sandwich.

Patrick Calder, Haunting of the Queen Mary

I wasn’t a fan of this one. True, I’m not a big horror person in general, but I also think this just isn’t a very good horror movie. Definitely confusing at times, and its construction leaves me feeling disconnected from the characters 1/
#JoelFry-days
Screenshot from Haunting of the Queen Mary - Patrick (Joel Fry) is a lanky light-skinned Black man with dark coiled hair and a short beard and mustache. He's standing in a darkened hallway on the Queen Mary, looking off-camera with a slightly concerned expression.

Nectrose Freeze, Star Wars (Galaxy's Edge cookbook)

This was my first time making ice cream, and I'm impressed at how well it turned out!
Nectrose Freeze - a bowl of soft vanilla ice cream. It's sprinkled with pieces of rock candy, and a couple golden wafers are sticking out of the scoops of ice cream.

Beautiful Coco artwork from AmityIslandGiftShop--gorgeous!

An art print from Coco - Miguel is standing onstage with his guitar, with his back to the print. Brightly colored houses stretch out in the distance behind the crowd, with warm lights in the windows and strung with papel picados.

Manolo Sanchez, The Book of Life

In honor of Kiss of the Spider Woman coming out this week, here's a figure from Diego Luna's first musical, The Book of Life! I love this movie, and I love Manolo 🥰
An action figure of Manolo Sanchez is posed on a shelf. He's wearing his black suit with gold accents. Manolo is holding his guitar in one hand.

Liam, Bedlam

Since it's October now, I'm gonna turn my focus to the spookier branch of Joel Fry's filmography, the horror/thrillers/supernatural stuff. I’m not quite sold on this BBC supernatural drama, but it’s quite a good guest appearance for Joel 1/
#JoelFry-days
Screenshot from Bedlam - Liam (Joel Fry) is a lanky light-skinned Black man with coiled black hair and a mustache with a stubbly goatee. He's wearing a dark-colored jacket and scarf over several layers. He stands in a dimly-lit old chapel, looking to the side with a slight mischievous grin.

"America" was one of the first songs that sparked my interest in musical theatre. I love this beautiful artwork from TripopStudio of the new film's version!

www.etsy.com/shop/TripopS...
An art print from the 2021 West Side Story. Anita and Bernardo are dancing together, Anita in a yellow dress. Anita has one leg bent and her arms raised, while Bernardo reaches out for her. They're against a white backdrop with splashes of pastel colors.

Claire Temple, The Defenders

Claire! The glue of the Marvel Netflix shows! No matter the series, I was always happy to see her every time she popped up, and I think it's cool that she has a Marvel Legends figure
An action figure of Claire Temple is posed on a shelf. She has a handbag over her shoulder, and she's wearing a blue medical glove on one hand. She's in a walking pose with her arms slightly bent.

When I saw Brainy making spinach pancakes on Supergirl, I was intrigued. I was wary, but I wanted to try them at least once. They turned out pretty good! They still taste like pancakes, and there's something Dr. Seussian about eating green breakfast food
Spinach Pancakes - A pancake sits on a plate. It has a slightly green tint.

Bob, American Sweatshop

Woohoo, it's a *new*-new Joel Fry movie! This is an uneven but compelling film. The world of online content moderators makes for a fascinating setting, although I think the execution isn't as strong as the potential. But I really like Joel Fry's work here! 1/
#JoelFry-days
Screenshot from American Sweatshop - Bob (Joel Fry) is a lanky light-skinned Black man with coiled dark hair and a beard and mustache. He's wearing a black T-shirt. Bob is looking at Daisy at the edge of the frame (Lili Reinhart - white, blonde hair in a bun, blue shirt.) There's a slightly vulnerable expression on his face.
