i don't know much about much, but i do know that if genndy tartakovsky says "hey i wanna make an animated film about", you stop him right there, and say "yes, how much do you need."
Genndy Tartakovsky shared test footage from his film ‘The Black Knight’. It follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor. Sony isn't sure there's an audience for the film and haven’t greenlit it yet.
After Kpop demon hunters success I don't understand why Sony are dragging their feet on this!

i finished gibson's 'neuromancer'. probably the book i enjoyed the least this year, but that was mostly because it was so hard to remember every time a cyberpunk trope happened, that this was where that was all invented. basically the holy scripture of cyberpunk.

Had a 3+ hour flight today and time alone at a hotel, so...
I finished Katabasis by RF Kuang (only had like 15 pages to go) and I also had plenty of time to read all of Starter Villain by @scalzi.com (who has quickly become one of my favorite authors). Both were different kinds of fantastic.

terry pratchett had this habit of writing a series of words so ridiculous that, before being written, had no business being placed in that particular order, but he did it anyway, to great success.

2025 reading log as of today. i'm on pace for 60 books this year, which not bad considering I don't think i'd read more than 1 or 2 in a year since 2007, and most of those years I didn't read any actual books.

@coxsportsohio.bsky.social question for ya: how do you organize your books at home? I originally shelved everything alphabetically but then you have to slide everything around when you get new stuff. do you have a system or is it just vibes?

started dungeon crawler carl, plowed through 140 pages this evening. and i get the feeling i’ll be buying all 7 books. @mattdinniman.bsky.social has something special here, i get the feeling this man spent as much time in the dungeons of diablo games as i did.

never gave a jason isbell record a full listen because i'm an idiot, but holy hell is 'foxes in the snow' a fireball. it should be illegal for 'good while it lasted' and 'true believer' to be back to back without a warning. this man can write a song.

yeah. get this book. read it. it's good.

On the home stretch of The Bright Sword by @levgrossman.bsky.social, never read anything by him, but i will be reading more. definitely a unique take on the tales of king arthur, worthy of a read.

just finished “dr. no” by percival everett. it was good. not my favorite book of all time. took some effort to get through parts of it because of how it was written, a lot of theoretical math jargon because of the main character being a mathematician of sorts, but was still good.
