“The feel of a Pixar film in all the best ways”

Posted on

Thanks to Macabre Daily for another great Fetch 2 review.

“The visuals and set pieces are even more spectacular than the first, with mixtures of eerie and epic. There is a wonderful sense of scale and scope, from the small and intimate to the gigantic and looming to a degree I rarely get see captured so well in this medium.”

“Be ready to pick up Book 2 on the 8th of May. If you haven’t, and you are a fan of Pixar films; Greek Mythology; and child-driven, whimsical adventures (like Labyrinth, Mirrormask, or Neverending Story), then this is the sort of comic for you.”

I try not to be negative about movies or TV shows as I know how practically impossible it is to get anything made. But if you want a show that doesn’t treat you like an enormous fuckwit there’s always all 30 episodes of the Chinese adaptation of Liu Cixin‘s  The Three-Body Problem where the stars certainly don’t BLINK on and off.

15 Horror Movies I Can’t Live Without: Bonus Round

Posted on

Following Mike Mignola’s cue I added a bonus round of five extra Horror Movies I Can’t Live Without. Here they are:

16. Night of the Living Dead (1968)

17. Deathline aka Raw Meat (1972)

18. The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

19. Horror Express (1972)

20. An American Werewolf in London (1981)

Since making the list I have, of course, thought of another twenty movies I should really have added. Maybe I just need to revive my Letterboxd account.

 

 

RIP M Emmet Walsh

So many great performances.

People are talking about BLADE RUNNER (1982) of course, but his part in BLOOD SIMPLE (1984) is one of the all-time greats. He also had a long and varied TV career before moving to the big screen and it’s always awesome when he pops up in a Starsky & Hutch or Rockford Files.

‘A cosmic timewarp deathtrip’

Slowly working my way through quite a large pile of unread comic-books. Writing the damn things doesn’t leave time for a lot of reading and I kinda avoid new stuff when I’m in the middle of something new. But I read Patience by Dan Clowes in a couple of sittings and really enjoyed it. I kept thinking it would make a great movie and it turns out he’s adapting it himself.

This is my favourite series of panels:

Gonna have to find a way to use that line in real life.
