I’m still proud of the fact I made a large wine last up until around 30 minutes before the end of The Odyssey

If I could create a drug that gave the high of completing a sketchbook, it t would be illegal. I’ve just completed two concurrent sketchbooks within a day of each other.

Just thinking how weird it was to have an intro by Tom Holland before Spider-Man started, although quite nice. Then one of the cinema staff made an announcement about not taking photos or filming (of course). Neither time did anyone say put your phone away and shut the fuck up. Disappointing, Tom.
This weekend I saw Masters of the Universe and Spider-Man: Brand Nee Day and very much enjoyed them both
Just saw a nostalgia-porn supercut of the 80s, with a comment underneath that said kids these days… “All full of anxiety and crippling lack of social skills.” Because yeah, that’s a new thing.
I couldn’t help think, while watching the Avengers: Doomsday trailer, how much Robert Downey Jr’s Dr Doom sounded like Nandor from What We Do in the Shadows
I’m kind of boring myself with talking about The Odyssey, honestly. Here’s the thing, did it hit the marks for me? Not greatly. Is Christopher Nolan an experienced Hollywood filmmaker whose job it is to make something thar entertains people? Yes, and it’s cool people enjoyed it. However…
A friend who suggests leaving before the end of the last song, so it’s less manic to get home, is truly special
One thing that I think is positive about the Odyssey is that it’s engendered broader interest in the myths. Like today, for instance, when a colleague turned to me and said out of the blue, “Who the fuck is Helen of Troy?”
To save some time when pitching films, I’d like to put forward Marilyn Monroe vs Dracula
If there’s one thing I can say about Netflix, it isn’t a dickhead when it comes to cancelling a subscription
“MAGA is losing it over this Anna Hathaway speech” MAGA loses it if they see someone with colour in their hair. So what? I get a bit hacked off with the framing of these things. It reduces messages (I think it’s a complex message in this case) to bait. Gets engagement, but the message is muddied.
I’ve watched some contemporary movies and TV shows lately and they haven’t included a breathy young woman singing Creep. Not even an orchestral version. Why the sudden drop off?
Loving The Vampire Lestat. I hope they had as much fun making it as it looks like they did

Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 2w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
The effect it’s had on Musk has lightened my opinion of the film a little

I see there’s a new full cast audio production of Dracula coming out. For me, occasionally, a small cast on audio can work when reading a book, especially when there’s a clear distinction of PoV. But jumping through a slew of voices is so distracting to me, it kind of takes me out.
Hurrah! It does exist, I just didn't look hard enough... youtu.be/D00rpvyBcVM?...

Just went on DeviantArt for the first time in years Fucking hell, the dearth of AI slop on there. It’s like a digital interpretation of the Boston Molasses Disaster
I’ve sat with The Odyssey for a day now and it actually annoys me the more I think about it
I kept coming back to this. “What about the face?” I kept painting details, then lifting them, over and over (Hahnemühle 100% cotton sketchbooks are amazing by the way). Then I thought, so what about the face? The tone and feel is usually more important than the details. I need to remember that.
Saw The Lady Vanishes (1938) for the first time last night. My favourite kind of Hitchcock. Yes, it has tension and suspense, but it’s also very funny. Particularly loved that even on the brink of war, the British just think things will carry on as normal and it’s best to just ignore it.
