Sorry to be a killjoy... Please reconsider and stop sharing the AnnabelLucindaClips videos of the dog, cat, and Chihuahua. There's 876K people followers on Facebook sharing these AI videos. Plenty of real and funny animal videos online but this performative generated AI slop distracts from them.

A #Predator pitch for @darkhorse.com back in the 90s with writer @corymacrae.bsky.social. I drew the piece and then Colin MacNeil did his colour magic. Sadly, Dark Horse passed. After Prey and Killer of Killers, and now Badlands we still feel this re-imaging of Perseus and the Minotaur has legs.

Uhura has always been a favourite Star Trek character and plenty of love for Nichelle Nichols for her science advocacy. Here's my tribute from a couple of years ago.

Four Dublin teenagers form a band in 1976 and from 1980 release three of the most visceral albums of the era. An incendiary debut with Boy then October and War. Their live album Under A Blood Red Sky cemented their place in rock history. Discover them for yourself. Fuck the haters

Listening to U2s third trilogy Achtung Baby/Zooropa/Pop with Glenmorangie and dark chocolate Hob Nobs. Whatever peoples feelings towards Bono's political stance there is no argument that they were on fucking fire for Boy/October/War, The Unforgettable Fire/Joshua Tree/Rattle and Hum and this trio.

I realise the frame shown previously as an example of this film was the least exciting choice but trust me... Altered States is an insane viewing experience with the most weird hallucinatory visuals committed to screen and Ken Russell dialled up to eleven. Recommended.

Altered States, dir. Ken Russell. 1980.

Cinematography by Jordan Cronenweth. The new 4K restoration/remaster by Criterion is sublime and really shows off Jordan's work. Picture looks more filmic with less high contrast than previous editions. More natural skin tones too. Non-spoilery example shown.

No generator used. Just photo bashed the letters from the original ZOHRAN logo. Apologies for the Frankenstein Y.

So, that moment watching an old episode of The Big Bang Theory and your comic turns up onscreen...

I love that Chris Foss embraced DAZZLE with his sci-fi art.

Still waiting on the 4K release...

Drew Struzan has passed. After the loss of Renato Casaro this loss to the industry hits as hard. Drew's work is synonymous with many favourite films and he inspired friends and colleagues in our own work. Difficult to choose a single piece out of such a defining career but I always loved this one.

Thanks to Past Me for buying this and putting in freezer last weekend. Definitely in the mood for pizza tonight.
