Always love to see what’s clearly organic support for animation

Robert "Bob" Kinoshita (24th February 1914 – 9th December 2014) was an artist, art director, and designer who worked in the film and TV industries from the 1950s through the early 1980s

Merz is using an anti semitic phrase here to the rapturous applause of his listeners - one of whom, Berlin’s culture minister, cut a ton of funding to a leading arts venue he accused of suspected antisemitism. Am pretty sure this minister won’t call Merz out, though.

Whisper it, but I think Amazon producing an animated Bond series or two would be pretty cool.

A school in Staten Island was caught doing this with a Black Panther book and I'm surprised Marvel didn't make a HUGE deal out of it for publicity. They don't have enough petty people over there.

So patronizing when the dentist patiently explains how to floss. I'm not a baby who doesn't know how to do basic things. I'm a baby who doesn't wanna

Between this and Alnur Mussayev's claims yesterday, it would be nice if the Cold War just ended already.

It’s Edward Gorey’s 100th birthday.

It’s extremely funny to me that DC was like no, I’m sorry, guys, you can’t put Sugar and Spike in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Be serious.

Couple of post-week 2 #TROPRewatch thoughts: It occurres to me Elrond and Celebrimbor didn't have any scenes together in season 2, in stark contrast to the first, and that's bittersweet. I hope we get some more callbacks to their relationship, beyond mourning the loss of his work.

I keep seeing DEI being called an ideology when it is not, and the white supremacy that is replacing it not being called an ideology, when it really is. That shit goes back centuries.

RIP George Armitage He directed two of my favourite films, Miami Blues and Grosse Pointe Blank. He’s also responsible for my favourite scene involving a baby & Under Pressure. Just beautiful. youtu.be/DWyuAq5Yq34?...

Coming this May, the only book I will ever need.

Wow they really decided to end the week with this announcement eh? Doesn't surprise me, given the omnibuses and all. www.comicsbeat.com/comicspro-25...

Time for episode 2 of the #TROPRewatch. Here come the first appearance of the opening credits and Howard Shore's contribution to the show!

Some more thoughts on the James Bond producers retiring: We don't know any specifics about the deal. Amazon could've gained creative control by agreeing to a number of Broccoli and Wilson's requests, eg. Bond must be an incorruptible British man (who can be played by someone Irish or Australian.)

“The Party taught you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Honestly the prospect of the Space Marine 2 devs making a new Transformers game is so perfect on paper that I'll probably cry if it turns out to be another Hasbro IP. www.polygon.com/news/526330/...

Extraction is probably the biggest franchise based on a comic that people don't realise is based on a comic since Men in Black, perhaps? www.netflix.com/tudum/articl...

Who are your four favorite Marvel Characters? #MarvelComics

Paramore singer Hayley Williams' earliest memories of music are of hearing her grandfather's songs. She helped him, now 78, achieve a dream: releasing his debut album.

The Rock is working with Scorsese. Check on your friends who claim to like movies but only really like what they are told is good because they are not going to be doing well.

Marvel getting a Canadian to write Captain America is an A+ decision (no pun intended).

"After a streak of one-off limited Marvel series, Winderbaum's priority is to make shows that last for multiple seasons... For Daredevil: Born Again, he confirms, '100% it's a multi-season show,' though, 'I don't know how many seasons it'll run.'" ew.com/daredevil-bo...

I really like Legend of Korra, so consider me optimistic. Twin protagonists, Mad Max setting, yep, sounds interesting.
