WizardBOOOOOO

You know, I have been thinking a bit about William Shatner lately. This is going to sound weird. I think he has finally achieved what he said he wanted for so long, people think of him more as William Shatner than Captain Kirk at long last. Thoughts below.

The legendary Vincent Price died OTD in 1993, six days before Halloween, at the age of 82. The holiday has never quite felt the same. Here are 24 Vincent Price roles from some of his horror movies. If you haven't seen some of them, your work is cut out before October 31st.

Book of place names, I cannot resist you. A thread 🧵 of my favourites:

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

DC Clarifies ‘Clayface’ Not Connected To Matt Reeves’ ‘Batman’ Unless It Actually Is https://theonion.com/dc-clarifies-clayface-not-connected-to-matt-reeves-batman-unless-it-actually-is/

I know it’s sorta cheesy but someone posted this from Paris on Reddit and I felt this immediate rush of hope

I absolutely cannot see any way that this could go horribly, horribly wrong.

When your board game can cheer for itself! (Having a blast at Essen.)

BioWare was responsible for so many of my favorite games and gaming moments. The number of games that actually affected emotionally - not just fun or engagement but emotional reactions to the story - are low and BioWare was responsible for most of them. Losing the studio like this is a tragedy.

If you sent this image through a time machine to 2007 and showed it to the people who were first passing around “I Can Has Cheezburger” they wouldn’t have believed it possible. Lolcat technology has come so far in these last two decades. Who can say what memes will come in years yet unseen?

Christopher Lee was already a big fan of The Last Unicorn when he got the role voicing King Haggard in the movie, and brought in his own well-loved copy of the book, with Haggard’s dialogue highlighted, when he arrived at the studio.

NO BETTER TIME TO JUMP ON THAN NOW!

Stephen King: guys! guess what! King: i just got back from the univera Frankenstein animatronic sound and stage spectacular ride probably in universal studios or something! King: and boy are my arms tired! Koontz: Poe: Barker: Lovecraft: Joe Hill: you told it wrong, dad King: wait let me start over

El-Sayed politely takes this kid behind the woodshed rhetorically. Calmly and rationally dissects his hypocrisy in front of a crowd in real time.

The news is out! I'll be taking over writing the daily and Sunday strips for The Phantom, with amazing artists @drawmanley.bsky.social and @jeffweigel.bsky.social.

YOUR SATURDAY FLASH GORDON! This concludes our 15th arc — "THE DEAD LANDS" — and our rebooted strip's third year. Check back tomorrow for the Sunday summary, and again on Monday for the beginning of year four⚡

I will always celebrate Joe Sinnott, an extraordinary artist combined with being the nicest man. Besides his drawing ability, no one had the amazing brush and pen control that Joe did! All on tight deadlines, inking several comics per month!

You may have seen the videos of this earlier today. Here's some practical discussion of why it isn't going to happen. Never mind that this Roadster is 9 years overdue, it's just not going to happen.

During his @polygon.com video touring @videogamesnewyork.bsky.social, David Dastmalchian pauses to celebrate Stan Sakai as a "genius." As if we needed more reasons to love David.

You love to see it.

Your Thursday FLASH GORDON 🦅

Your Wednesday FLASH GORDON ⚡

it’s just great marketing

Chuck Wendig is back on his apple nonsense and the world is better for it. His review for one, Sops of Wine (that's legit the variety's name) mentions this: "I’ve also heard Denethor bite into an apple and say SOPS OF WINE in the hollow shell of my skull, so really, who knows what’s happening."

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Reading some posts by @englishmansdcc.bsky.social about AI & doing so made me realise that AI would undoubtedly be a component of Darkseid’s Anti-Life Equation. Which puts it into a context I can make sense of in emotional terms. No wonder AI makes my flesh crawl. How else to respond to Anti-Life?
