Like, goddamn, dude.

An excerpt from Christopher Reeve's Wikipedia article, which reads:

In 1993, a teacher at Flowing Wells High School was fired for staging a play with homosexual themes during the school's arts week. In response, People for the American Way held a forum on the issue of censorship in Tucson, Arizona. Reeve and several other actors performed an impromptu reading of the play to a standing ovation. Representing the actors on the panel discussion, Reeve was heckled by some parents, to which he responded, "What I hear this lady saying is that she is uncomfortable with things that don't resemble her or her way of life. This country is founded on a completely different principle, which is tolerance and diversity." The dismissed teacher described the demonstration as "a healing experience".

All Superman actors *will* forever pale in comparison to Christopher Reeve, but in no way that has anything to do with whether or not their Superman smiles on-screen, or whatever.

An excerpt from Christopher Reeve's Wikipedia article, that reads:

Reeve spoke out against Donald Trump's developing projects on West End Avenue in the late 1980s. The 1991 documentary Trump: What's the Deal?, which was suppressed for years, showed Reeve deliver a critical speech on the topic at a public event. The documentary also featured an interview in which Reeve called Trump's ambitions "the American dream gone berserk", adding, "You're allowed to dream as big as you want, but if your dreams step on the lives of ordinary people and ruin the quality of their life and their neighborhood, you have to be stopped."

Saw 5 truly brain-altering movies—in their own, *very* different respects—for the first time this year, and I'll be pleasantly shocked, if anything else can budge my current Top 5, by the end of it.

A line of 5 movie posters, arranged in a numbered order. From left to right: 'Born in Flames', 'I Saw the TV Glow', 'Time Masters', 'The Edge of Heaven', and 'Sinners'.

Commission piece for @apinvierno.bsky.social! Pretty thrilled with how this one came out, not least because I'll forever cherish any opportunity to draw Absolute Wonder Woman.

An illustration depicting Wonder Woman being pinned down by her nemesis, the Cheetah, with two panels showcasing their eyes, as the gaze that they share hints at a connection more intimate than what their physical altercation indicates.

Sometimes, the movie you randomly picked on MUBI may just *immediately* turn out to be one of the best things you've seen all year - though, to be fair, "A movie about vampires *and* class divide," is practically a cheat code to get me to like a movie.

I sincerely mean no disrespect toward this actor, or even the movie that these shots are taken from - I'm sure they're all fine - but I don't think I'll want to see Margaret Qualley's face ever again, after this year.
