I think that instead of “billionaire” we should refer to Elon Musk as “former trillionaire” to get under his thin skin.
I’m watching Masters of the Universe, and I am SO bored.
This week, Becky and I take a look at one of Hammer's very best, the brilliant Quatermass and the Pit (1967). Available in all the usual podcast places and, as usual, at www.evolutionofhorror.com/hammer
Cities in flames! World panic spreads! This week on HAMMER TIME, Kev and Becky are digging beneath the streets of London and uncovering ancient Martian secrets as they discuss Nigel Kneale's classic sci-fi horror QUATERMASS AND THE PIT from 1967. OUT NOW!
Wow, this guy really made one good movie and then just squatted out turd after turd until it became full on diarrhoea.
District 9 director Neill Blomkamp is facing backlash after releasing his first full test film made completely with AI on YouTube. https://bit.ly/4vE8MW8
@eofftv.bsky.social got me back on my Nigel Kneale obsession with the Hammer time pod, and recommended the TV show Beasts. Cex came to the rescue! And only cost me £12! It’s gonna get weird.
John Carpenter has released a statement on the passing of Sam Neill: "The world has lost a remarkable actor, father, farmer, and friend. Thank you, Sam, for your extraordinary work, kindness, and the memories."
Saw a post recently calling Amanda Palmer "Steampunk Ghislaine Maxwell."
Work done for the week. Off to melt at Wembley with My Chemical Romance tomorrow.
This year I have felt like I’ve just lost my identity as an artist, and yet ironically drawn more comics than I’ve ever drawn in the same length of time before.
No, I don’t kill flies… How do I know it’s not half a Jeff Goldblum?
Does anyone else have that thing where they really like a movie, and so watch it over and over, and watch everything in the franchise and read everything they can find etc, but still keep looking as though there’s some secret extra movie that they haven’t found yet?

I have a post-birthday resolution - In the next 12 months before I’m 40, I’m going to watch every Mario Bava, Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento movie that I haven’t seen already, and can get hold of in any format.
there's a saying down our way that translates to "a crook does not believe honesty exists" and I think it's spot on
This is a weirdly narcissistic mindset I see among conservatives. This idea that people take a firm moral stance not because of their principles but because they secretly know how to cheat. Its a mix of paranoia, projection and an inability to believe someone can be ethical without an ($) incentive.
Supergirl was okay. Milly Alcock was great, but as an adaptation of a particular story, it’s kind of iffy. It removes all of the mythological aspects of the story by making it a sci-fi road trip movie. Momoa played Lobo well, but he was absolutely pointless, and shoehorned in so awkwardly.
Answer your soul’s call to be creative. Being fulfilled artistically is also a life priority.
I just had Five Guys, so internet law mandates that I make a joke about fucking some dudes. I’ll think of something funny after they eat their burgers and we’re done banging.

I showed up at the headquarters of EA and beat the living shit out of CEO Andrew Wilson one time. The beating was pretty easy, but he had a huge erection. So that’s the name of the hardest videogame boss I’ve ever beat.
