When arguably he's the best warrior in The Iliad. The other top-level warriors on both sides have aid from the gods but he never does. And he's pretty much their equal. Yet again Time Bandits is peak Agamemnon.

1 of my Flesh Lip concept arts for Silent Hill 2 Remake - screenshot from makimiamary.hatenablog.com/entry/EXHIBI... Konami asked me to improve the battle design, but Bloober told me that they didn't wanna alter the OG design. To resolve both of these, I transformed the rectangular frame into legs.

Here are some of my concept arts/sketches for the creatures in Silent Hill 2 Remake, from the "Silent Hill 2 Exhibition" currently being held in Tokyo. Found these on X. Also the in-game model in the shots is not mine. I didn't sculpt any in-game creature models for the Remake.

Number 7 billion of things a billionaire with a soul could be doing instead: Fund a good prequel to The Thing. Film it like a Scandi drama with an all-Norwegian cast and don't make it a rehash. Make it about a 1st contact attempt gone wrong. All drama until they communicate and then BAM deaths.

Finally got something I feel comfortable with posting... thanks guys. dragondoctors.dhscomix.com/archives/com...

I love how new audiences continue to discover & appreciate this diagram from my 2014 book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (@pegasus-books.bsky.social). Before including it in the book, I imagined, calculated, & drew it, then asked a physicist to peer-review it. Physics, math, & paleontology made fun! 🧪🦕🤮

Ghost in the Shell fans! You may be familiar with the boxy robot bodies known as "Jameson-types" but did you know it's a shout out to the Professor Jameson stories from the 1930s where a guy puts his brain in a box body? Perhaps the first full-conversion cyborg story!

We all love Rita Repulsa, but when I discovered Zyuranger (the show Mighty Morphin was first based on) and Bandora the Witch, I had a religious experience. Bandora caused the Cretaceous extinction out of spite and flies around on a penny farthing harassing children, she is everything to me.

TOP 5 myths to make into movies: 1. Gilgamesh and Enkidu's gay wrestling party 2. Prince Gun and Yu beat the shit out of a flood 3. Atalanta thirsty suitors killing spree 4. Chilean Trauco stealing your girls(think "How to Be a Player" but with goblins) 5. All redheads are vampires(Greek nonsense)

This may be a controversial take, you guys, but don’t think the Gollum video game is going to be a hit.

I hope this starts a trend. We need this energy.

It tends to be a sort of common tradition for us artists to be very self-critical, think our art is not good enough, be "humble" by self deprecating our own art, downplay our abilities, etc We need to stop doing that. BE PRO ART, LOVE YOU'RE ART, TAKE PRIDE IN YOUR ART, IT ALWAYS TRIUMPHS AI SLOP ‼️

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

So, to explain why this movie *isn't* SH2, she has to explain what it *is,* and she does so very, very well. And funnily. Everyone watch this, in parts if you don't have time for a sit-down. (Shake, rattle and roll!)

Any time I'm out on my balcony, he wants to come out too, and he does this to indicate as much. It's funny every time.

Extremely good video. That third act twist in the review is genuinely shocking.

Gandalf and his underage pot smoking buddies show up in Rivendell to tell the elf president they acquired what's essentially a nuclear weapon by accident. It's more or less history's first Harold and Kumar style plotline.

At the time, I thought the way the comic ended---with Harry Potter as the Antichrist (ie: the antithesis of Western fiction, given in LOEG *all* Anglo-Euro pop stories are real, from Lovecraft to the West Wing)---was harsh. I now know Moore was merely speaking truth about JK Rowling. 1/

The more you explore the history of anime, manga, Japanese games history, the more you are confronted with the fact that MANY of the forms’ most potent innovations sprang out of and could not have existed without pornography. It’s integral to and inextricable from these histories
