A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

That’s Farage-grade shit-stirring from Jenrick, he should be ashamed of himself but he, presumably, murdered it when he was a child.
Ah but that is the coup de grace - at the flip of a switch the carpet and ceiling roll back revealing the complete mirror experience. These people have mirrored bedsteads and pool tables, they are all in on mirrors.
It’s the room with two beds (one a double) with a mirror behind them and a piano that convinced me they are sex people, and musical ones at that.
The price has stayed the same despite inflation, so it is relatively cheaper.
At a push, the first punch could be claimed to be self-defence but continuing after the other guy is on the ground is going to be difficult to explain.

As a comic dork I always hated how comics treat relationships. Outside of some comics like Saga (which is a great read), most comic relationships traditional/atypical/gay/straight/committed/flings/whatever are treated more as plot devices rather than things that make a character interesting.
It’s why I feel Midnighter and Apollo’s relationship works, which adds depth to their characters - you also see their personal life but if Midnighter were in trouble, Apollo isn’t riding the rescue, Midnighter is figuring out how to kill everyone in the building with that plastic spoon that was carelessly left lying around.
I think it’s infinitely better for culture for us to create things inspired by the things we love/loved rather than endless consuming whatever the market puts out. I really think supporting independent artists/creators/authors/makers of things that are rad is the only way to heal this utterly broken mess of a “culture”.

Buy indie games, buy indie comics, buy indie music, enjoy your werid-o shit you think only four other people know about, all that enjoy. Share it, promote it, create your own. Engage with the arts in a meaningful way.
Sounds like the start of a beautiful new Lemmy community, a bit like [email protected] - it’d fit with the Lemmy… “ethos” as it’s all a bit DIY, non-mainstream, etc.
I’d guessed it was animated based on a leftover idea that Trachtenberg pitched (he apparently threw a lot of ideas at the studio execs and Badlands was the one that stood out), so it makes sense for them to run with their favourite three ideas.
Or Photoshopping it to look like that?
I’d rather film studios gave him cash to make new, original films.
If you’ve forgotten, here is your previous account that was banned for relentlessly posting the exact same text.
The Prodigal Son is said to be the best depiction of Wing Chun in a film and Lam Ching-ying really delivers, convincing as a bad ass martial artist, despite being dressed as a woman.
As a fan of comedy horror, I’d rate Encounters of the Spooky Kind higher as it isn’t just superb but, as they say, kickstarted a wave of supernatural king-fu films, especially Mr Vampire.
It does say:
he finds a doctor who is a man we might think is going to be weird and odd, but actually is a force for good.
Which feels like misdirection. A doctor in a zombie apocalypse is always up to no good.
At this point Lucasfilm’s movies start to feel like a tax scam.
Margot “Triple Threat” Robbie?
As long as there some movement on Northern Powerhouse Rail then we aren’t so arsed about HS2’s northern extension.
