Loved the homage variant cover by Juan Ferreyra on today's Absolute Superman #22.

Huw Edwards criticised for entering Welsh poetry competition

The new Bond producers are insisting that their Bond movie "has to be different." Counterpoint: It needs to adhere rigidly to the same egg-obsessed formula that Fleming perfected.

I've been reading James Bond novels again and I think I've cracked the formula. Amazon, please take note for any movies you plan on making:

Just realised that Linda Carter out of Eastenders was also the little girl in T-Bag and the daughter in The Upper Hand!

Oh fantastic! I'll be getting Superman Family and Warlord.

The hits just keep on coming

Next month I'm going to see a performance by a prolific multi-instrumentalist who feuded with John Lennon, designed the first colour computer graphics tablet, produced Bat Out of Hell, & co-raised Liv Tyler, and I can't talk about it with anyone cos no bugger in the UK has heard of him.

Tapping the sign again.

"Bluesky is an echo chamber." "Bluesky doesn't have enough reach" "Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right" I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

Friends waxing lyrical about my work in broad strokes without ever mentioning specifics of what set me apart or why I was so good...

If I had a public body of work stretching back 40 years and nobody shared any of it when I died I'd be pretty gutted with my life, I think.

I put on The Last Stand for some reason and all I can think of is the greatest tumblr post of all time

I am begging any of my friends, acquaintances, or co-workers who might see this - if I ever have this kind of public, years long meltdown, I understand if you turn your back on me, but please have more compassion than to endorse my mad book or go on a podcast and call me a "man of great principle."

just in case you wondered how graham is doing lol

It's nice to be reminded how our news media reported the outbreak of a global pandemic as "the scientists say this, but the people who aren't scientists say this, who knows where the truth lies, the debate goes on" and then millions of people dropped dead.

It's been several years since the pandemic and I thought we'd all moved past being lectured on what things we should be prepared to watch your loved ones die over, but apparently there's a podcast git who has other ideas.

Finished Batman Caped Crusader Season 2 already. Love it! I'm normally not a Harley Quinn fan but she's brilliant in this. Great take on the Joker too. I love superhero stuff set in the 40s. Wish they'd do a Fleischer inspired Superman series set in the same world.

Still thinking about how much I enjoyed Spider-Man: Brand New Day. I've drifted away from the character in recent years but Tom Holland always reminds why I love Spidey.

One of my proudest achievements was making @paulgcornish.bsky.social aware of this:

#LetterboxdFriday ##LastFourWatched 1. Marvel in good film shock. 2. Sexy couple do sexy crimes. 3. Underrated nonsense. 4. Great film but so tired of the discourse. boxd.it/36421

There's an eclipse happening soon! Here's me on the TikToks with the deets. vm.tiktok.com/ZN8eQYuHa/

Couldn't pick one, but they're kind of a piece anyway.

Name a book you wish everyone else had to read.

You just know that some soulless wanker in a suit has decided that every Marvel production has to have enough nostalgia & recognisable IP to provoke the kind of primal stirring of the inner child that turns casual viewers into FANS. Being "good telly that everyone likes" isn't enough any more.

Pleased to report that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is dead good and if it's any indication of the direction they're going in, once Doomsday & Secret Wars are out of the way, the MCU will be interesting again. boxd.it/fwiU0F

A ★★★★ review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

At the start of this movie, the Waynes are murdered outside a cinema showing John Boorman's Excalibur. This is the key to Zack Snyder's approach to Batman and Superman. Like Excalibur, this movie is a...

Name a hated film you are willing to defend. (I'd say Last Knight is if nothing else better at being a movie than the three Transformers films that followed it)

Blocked a stranger today for trying to embarass my mate for not knowing that a recently deceased celeb was a creep. All these online competitors in the "I always knew" Olympics can do one.

I just saw a Gen Z film reviewer on TikTok criticising Demolition Man for the amount of societal change that it depicts happening in just 36 years and I don't think they've factored in just how different 1993 (the year the movie came out) was from 1957.

Fantastic new comic day today. Superman: Year One Thousand & Concrete were the highlights but I did also nab the foil version of the giant Justice League #200 facsimile, because it was the last one on the shelf (and also because I wanted it).

I'm reading Careless People. It's very strange to read about Zuck meeting with world leaders & talking about changing the world & then go on Facebook to see five AI written posts in a row trying to convince me to be angry because the woke wouldn't let you make Rising Damp these days.

My expectations for the upcoming Spidey movie were very low (perhaps unfairly since I love the other three Holland movies) so I'm delighted to see that it might actually be very good! www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...
