MY KIND OF WEIRD

I run 2x YouTube channels and a Blog. Most of what I talk about is rooted in Comics and Heavy Metal. 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/@mykindofweird 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/@listofthedamned 🛜 https://sodaandtelepaths.net

I’ll die on the hill that the best aspects of Akira are the cityscapes. Uneven, disjointed, megalithic titans of concrete and steel. The genius in them is every shot feels like you’re staring straight up from street level - into the nose of god itself. That fractured POV is otherworldly.

Watched The Last House last night. And it’s basically a Lovecraftian post-apocalyptic survival story told through the lens of family drama. As usual, Greta Lee and Wagner Moura were exceptional. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Tonight I jumped on the website of my LCS and this might be my “old man yells at cloud” moment but literally nothing in the new releases section appealed to me. Now, am I dunking on today’s comic creators? No, you do you. Im just saying that I think I’d rather raid a discount bin of $1 comics.

Tonight I had this conversation with someone I hadn’t spoken to in ages, saying he thinks I could do a lot more than in the sales roles I often end up in. I explained to him that I’ve resigned myself to the fact I’ll never be in an arts related or creative job.
