Der Happy Stick
Always a pleasure to pull an old prog out.
I posted this to Instagram and an old girlfriend commented that perhaps I resembled Wulf Sternhammer. That’s one of the nicest things anyone has sod to me in a while.
Midnight Quatermass 12
Newsletter is out. A little waffle about Korean cinema, Fetch II and a new short story.
Let’s get physical
Finally got my hands on a physical print copy of Fetch II and it’s a thing of beauty. The amount of work and attention to detail that goes into these books is breathtaking and I’m in awe of my team who put it all together after I’ve done the easy bit. And now the local kids can finally read it and stop kicking me in the shins for that cliffhanger finale…
That’s not to say there’s not a little heartbreak in this one too. Hope you dig it.
Korean Netflix is best Netflix
I work my way through the South Korean Netflix once a month via a VPN to check out all the new English subtitled content. It’s a tad frustrating as so much isn’t subtitled, but that helps populate my ever expanding list of stuff I want to see. Thankfully the shows and movies that are subbed are usually essential viewing and very rewarding.
I really enjoyed 12.12: THE DAY (2023). Another tour de force by Jung Woo-sung. I’m a sucker for a good historical political drama and this one would make for a solid double bill with THE MAN STANDING NEXT (2020).
It’s a real shame we don’t get so see more of this stuff on the big screen outside of the festival circuit.
