Yeah we enjoyed Dune.
Most people I know seem to have liked it. One or two have higher opinions of their own importance in these matters so are obliged to wet blanket Dune. But it's fun for Star Wars fans and Bladerunner fans. So that can't be bad.
Incidentally my friend who works in the film industry just saw The Green Knight and hated it.

The anthology which rekindled Gary Spencer-Millidge's classic series is an indie series worth your time.
It's being solicited on Kickstarter #11
"Meanwhile… is our anthology series, bringing together higher profile creators with less established ones who are looking to see their stories in print. Each issue is curated to ensure the highest quality of comics storytelling."
it's now over 100 pages square bound with a great range of stories

As well as the Google map and my chapter of the book about Constantine's London, I am thinking of doing another walk around some of the places featured in Hellblazer etc.
Would anyone like to nominate locations featured?
I have been known to make some up (eg there is a cracking building in Soho Square for the Tate Club, even though it's probably somewhere near Mayfair). And I'll usually add unrelated pubs and overlapping with Eddie Campbell and T.A.F.K.A.A.M.
I'm thinking several folks have joined me for parts of this? @Vagabond @TestosteRohne @JasonT @Bilirubin @Mark @Red @metanoia @Kejoxen @Spain and maybe Mr.Tom did some too. I feel like there was a gang of us, circa Constanteen the movie.

That's a good un.
To be honest Patton Oswalt would have been my Cain and Abel.

I like how you missed out the part about reenacting early scenes of the Poseidon Adventure
Glad to see you're doing okay.

Very promising start.
He would totes kick Netfluxifer's "arse"
*(Sat)Ana is cool too
-
He was writing and pitching all the time.
He done a Torchwood that didn't get taken up when that was cancellef
He did a play about a haunted house which we saw at the Hen & Chickens a few years ago. It had a similar time-twisting feel to Bodies.
But three generations of domestic troubles in the same house.
It'd have made a great tv play one off back before they made all plays into overlong miniseries.
He hinted last year of good news which I liked to imagine was a new comic or TV adaptation of Bodies
-
I've just heard that the very lovely Simon Spencer has passed on.
Most of you know him from his classy take on Hellblazer - alongside Sean Murphy - City of Demons, and the cracking miniseries Bodies.
But he was such a great source of hope and inspiration for folks who might have struggled.
He ran a weekly quiz for most of Lockdown. Puzzles as much as knowledge.I shall remember him from his line from Bodies, KNOW YOU ARE LOVED.

Hilariously, The Telegraph headline popped up on my Google page yesterday saying that Biden had made a mistake in trying to cater to young with um.. Lady Gaga, J Lo and Garth Brooks.
Also worth enjoying was that Eugene Goodman getting recognition for his ace work tricking fascists in the way we all trick cats and dogs.

Yes, let's celebrate the final days of Trump, rather than climbing over each other to get to The Other Side.
He's going, but not going away.
And we're nowhere near the end of coalitions of convenience where those who make the profits enlist people they hate from both sides (qv republicans co-opting racists, (some) libertarians, people who don't really pay much attention to politics)
I hope that the America of my friends (sure, left leaning, but across the spectrum) is safe from Trumped up cunts with guns.
This thread will end tomorrow.
Don't waste your chance to move on.

Let's hope we all do.

This was a very satisfactory run of Hellblazer. Exorcised a few ghosts from those lean years.
And true to what we were missing or disliking recently- if you look at our discussions from the mythical "last 50 issues" of Hellblazer, the few plus points of Hipsterblazer and the really quite good (but buried under DCU shite) finale to whatever that crossover was.
I like this "Justice League of Hellblazer " team who walk away.

Wonder what Mike Carey's up to these days - haven't read any of his more recent prose books but the film adaptation of The Girl With All The Gifts was ace.
Looks like he might have moved away from comics a little.
He was working on a couple of film projects. One based on his own writing. There's also an adaptation of the next book in the the Girl with all the gifts series (prequel)
I think the book writing market is(already was) more secure and better for work load to publication date - and pay day.

Looks like the fanatics have hit the shits.
Horrid scenes from Capitol Hill and Georgia.

I saw that the Trump administration was going to have a press conference today in order to show a path to how they can still win the election....
Did that happen?

As the Trump post-election shitshow continues, the question came to mind: is there any modern American politician who has had such a 180 in reputation as Rudy Giuliani?
Is it not a 360 or two 180s because he was not considered well until the Twin Towers aftermath?
-
He is such a lovely man.
Apart from folks at comic conventions it's cool to spend time drinking with (and he is one of them too), he's a great teacher and delightful conversationalist.
He talked about his Sandman illustrations, pointing out how he'd subtly displayed the passage of time.
I joked about my inability to do perspective in my drawings.He said how he'd noticed in vanishing point photos of the underground that there were electric cables boxed onto the walls, and he'd never noticed them, so he put them in his art for One Bad Rat.
I have this on actual CD rom

And a merry New year to everyone.
For the record I am closer to Mr Jason (geographically not romantically) than any time since I was in Melbourne. Hope he's having a nice time up north, and that they let him back into his country.
Tony the Tigger, the Christmas cold is a bugger, hope its well gone now.
