Yesterday I drove past a soccer field that had been completely overrun with wildflowers. I know that everybody needs to stay in as much as possible and avoid large groups and so on. But i really hope a lot of people are taking this opportunity to make super low budget post-apocalyptic movies.

A modern post-apocalyptic film would have to include the line around the block for the Krispy Kreme drive-thru.

A post apocalyptic tale where toilet paper and jigsaw puzzles are the new currency.

RIP Mort Drucker. Can't list the number of times I've watched a movie and realized I'd already "seen" it via one of his parodies

Oh: Sheila James Kuehl (born February 9, 1941) is an American politician, former child actress, and currently the member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for the 3rd District. In 1994, she became the first openly gay California legislator. PeterCat fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Apr 9, 2020 |

Oh my god I finally watched Paddington for the first time after hearing people go on about it. What a charming and magical movie for simpler, pre-Brexit times. The anti-Brexit campaign should have made everyone watch it. Delightful message of acceptance and caring and the best sign gags I've seen in a movie. If you want a pick me up from these dark times, do yourself a favour and re-watch it.

Groo writer Mark Evanier told a story about how he would always make "Sergio doesn't speak English" jokes in the Groo comic, and as a result, once at a comic book store signing, the owner hired a translator to assist Sergio. Sergio, of course, speaks English wonderfully, but not wanting the translator to get fired, only spoke Spanish during the signing.

I remember some issue of MAD claiming that when Antonio Prohías, creator of Spy vs Spy, started working for the magazine he only spoke three words of English two of which were "spy".

Aw man, some times you forget what cult favorite really means. I love Danger 5 and wanted to see what everyone involved had been up to since and, well, it's rough being able to go through Instagrams of small-time working actors and creators. That's the business I suppose, but just a tad depressing that such talented people involved with such a great thing haven't been able to jump to much if anything else.

Had that big "has tasted human flesh" energy that made Udo Kier look like motherfucking Tom Hanks. His first name sounded like something a cartoon robot might say, and his last name was Laser. If anyone feels like the world got a lot less weird with the death of this bizarre man, it did, but take heart, it'll get just as weird again plus interest in a matter of days, count on that.

Yeah, I had him sign a little Star Wars book he did the art for, the Galactic Phrasebook & Travel Guide, and he was slightly amused and said something like "A very strange/funny little book." If the world gets normal again and he comes back around and does a "Quick Draw" panel at your local con, or you are willing to brave SDCC, absolutely attend. One of the funniest/funnest things I've ever seen. (I have no idea how often that happens outside of SDCC.)

Watched Horse Girl last night. Overall it was good and I enjoyed it, but I liked it more before it dove into full-on surrealism/complete mental breakdown/psychosis. The first act has a wonderfully dry sense of humor and the second act gets really intense and does a good job of sympathetically portraying a person going through the early stages of mental illness, but then the last act just doesn't do a whole ton with the premise other than some neat imagery, and I ultimately feel like it doesn't have much to say. I also watched Tiger King, and I think that discussion was in the ~13 pages I skipped here but that's a wild-rear end and entertaining show that definitely cares more about the spectacle and telling a story than discovering the truth. Joe should be in prison, I have no clue if Carole killed her husband, Doc Antle and Jeff Lowe should also spend time behind bars.

Even while I was three sheets to the wind, I couldn't stand more than 10 minutes of Kung Fury. Annoying and cloying in every way. One of my friends has been trying to get me to watch The VelociPastor and I don't have the heart to tell her I'm not interested in more Kung Fury bullshit.

I watched Ben & Arthur, which is sub-The Room levels of laughably bad except it's also a strikingly heartfelt film by a gay man frustrated by the lack of marriage rights the cultural dominance of religious fundamentalists (it came out in 2002). You might recognize it as a mainstay on the IMDb Bottom 100 but it just goes spectacularly off the rails if you've never seen it.
