Larry Hama made a boatload of money for Marvel and Hasbro in the ‘80s by turning toy tie-in GI Joe into a smash so they let him do this waaaay more eccentric project with Ron Wagner as a reward. Dystopian ninja commando against an omnipotent tyrant. As awesome as weird-ass 80s mainstream comics get.

Simon Bisley's sensational cover for Conan the Savage Issue 1 from 1996.

Took my horror-loving 15 year old to see INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS on a big screen at Home MCR tonight. My first viewing in maybe 20 years. Ageing supremely well. Brilliantly written & directed. Kaufman really was a master. A horror movie for grown-ups: unmatched paranoia in that first act.

RIP Peter Watkins, one of the great British filmmakers and perhaps the great political director of his era. THE WAR GAME and PUNISHMENT PARK - both decades old - are as fresh and urgent and compelling as ever today. An underrated stylist too with a great understanding of his medium. A unique artist.

This record is one of the great rock albums of the 1980s. Massively underappreciated band.

RIP Diane Keaton, a genuinely important actress who was also a movie star & interesting filmmaker. Aside from the brilliance of her work with Woody Allen, so great in THE GODFATHER, REDS and LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR. Then a second career in 2000s rom-coms, where you believed Keanu would fall for her.

I absolutely love the ‘60s issues of Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD after Steranko left, when a series of other artists tried to “do” Steranko to varying effect. Here we have Frank Springer X 2, Herb Trimpe and a young Barry Windsor Smith.

I've just been blown away by what is maybe the Irish equivalent of Dick Van Dyke's epically terrible cockney accent in MARY POPPINS. Brando in Michael Winner's execrable THE NIGHTCOMERS. Every syllable lilted from the a crock of gold at the end of a rainbow. Ouch.
