It's weird seeing Thought Bubble 2025 pictures which include Killing Moon. I was the writer on Killing Moon. Sadly, it seems like the series is not continuing. There were three more issues planned.

More than 60 hours into #Hades2. I've defeated Chronos six times and I've defeated Typhon twice. Doesn't feel like I'm anywhere near finishing the game, but I'm very much enjoying myself so not in any hurry.

I do not understand why cinema critics such as Benjamin Lee bother. Just read his mean-minded and crotchety review of Black Phone 2 (which I won't link to). He leads by laying into Joe Hill for not being his Dad, and the piece goes downhill from there.

David Frankum and I once did a couple of Zenith and Bill Savage mash-ups for the 2000AD fanzine.

After Marvel Zombies I caught up on seasons 2 and 3 of What If...?
An anthology show that's actually one big story. Even manages to survive having to focus on the post-Endgame MCU. Better than almost every recent Marvel movie.
Excellent, 4 stars.

I didn't mind Elio but you can definitely tell that it was meant to be about a kid dealing with realising he's gay, but then the execs took fright and so instead it's about, uh, not that much.
I'm not holding out much hope that Disney are going to do anything brave with Elsa in Frozen 3.

Treated myself to Hades 2.
Played a couple of hours so far and it seems both really, really good and really, really similar to Hades 1.

What's this? Tales From The Quarantine shipping update delayed by some completely unrelated event?
Literally unbelievable.
Dang it, guys, we were so close this time.

Been playing the video game of Gloomhaven and I have to hand it to them. It's so hard that I've died doing the tutorials about 17 times. Still got 2 lessons to go.

I just saw Midsommar for the first time and the plot can be summarised as "a group of students that haven't seen The Wicker Man - or indeed any horror film - walk straight into a real life The Wicker Man and get Wicker Manned. Hard."
I mean, I enjoyed it, but it's The Wicker Man.

Wow, this is probably the worst idea for one of those compact collections in the entire universe. The whole entire point of Kingdom Come is that the art is beautiful. You should be able to see it.

Congratulations to UK Labour, whose 5-year mission to turn Britain over to the fascists seems to be going great. Shame Labour decided to make everything terrible when they could have done the opposite, but that just shows their commitment to the forthcoming Farage Presidency.

To get any closer to his parking space, The Doctor needed a special piece of equipment, and whilst he was setting that up he noticed the cinema.

Really enjoyed Longlegs. Heavily influenced by Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon, but also with a pinch of The Ring. Great performance from Nicolas Cage. Maika Monroe very good, a breakthrough performance, I hope. Impressive writing and directing from writer-director Osgood Perkins.

I'm currently reading We Solve Murders by Richard Osman. The plot is utterly ridiculous and the characters are functionally identical to those in his other series, The Thursday Murder Club. Still, Osman is pretty funny, and the book is certainly a page-turner.

I got hold of episodes 7-12 of The Nevers (as irony dictates, never officially available in the UK) and oddly enough, they are really good. Lots of money spent. Absence of Whedon not felt. Builds to a satisfying conclusion.
HBO and Sky really let down their subscribers by suppressing this show.

Just watching David Lynch's Dune. A unique masterpiece. Really surprising no one has ever tried to adapt Dune again. Probably for the best, though, as if they did I would simply refuse to acknowledge that their unnecessary film or TV mini-series exists.
