I saw a post earlier criticising people over 30 wearing skater clothes. As though the clock strikes midnight on your 30th birthday and you’re supposed to wear polo shirts and white slacks? Fuck that, I’m in my hoody and jeans until I fucking decide otherwise or die trying a kick flip at 80.

I’m privileged enough to own an early printing of this, so I’ve never seen any other versions of the colouring. But I know that the colouring is great, and we should make it a norm to reprint comics as they were originally intended.

Great haul here! Cast a Deadly Spell is *chef's kiss* but so hard to find here in the UK
Joe Friday (@joefriday37.bsky.social) reply parent
It may have only been the UK web exclusive release. I don't know that for sure, but it reused some poster and VHS cover art that we had here for a long time. Pretty much until Tartan released it with the proper title, as I recall.
Joe Friday (@joefriday37.bsky.social) reply parent
Usually when I talk about the movie, I have to explain that I'm talking about the Japanese movie and not the 80s American horror movie. But I just can't bring myself to say Hausu (unless it's in this context).
Zack Davisson (@zackdavisson.com) reposted
Correct and Accurate. Also, the film is "Ring," not "Ringu."
Joe Friday (@joefriday37.bsky.social) reply parent
The amount of times I've explained this. It hurt my head when Arrow released the 4K with the original UK poster art that says Ringu when there's a whole part of one of the special features explicitly explaining that it's not the damn title.

I was getting a little upset at the manipulative/gaslighting behaviour in this movie. It reminded me far too closely of the abusive relationship I was in and how she acted. Even down to the fake screaming. But this just reinforced the unease of the whole movie.

Joe Friday (@joefriday37.bsky.social)
Naked Gun managed to be fully absurd and irreverent, with humour that is perfectly in keeping with the original show and movies, whilst taking a good hard dig at billionaires who make shitty electric cars and use our phones to enrage us, AND satirises police brutality and the lack of accountability.

We haven't done it in a while. We did a quadruple bill once and that was a little exhausting. It helps that we really enjoyed all 3 films.

Well you said fangirls, specifically, which is plural and implies multiple women. As though only fangirls write with bias.
Joe Friday (@joefriday37.bsky.social) reply parent
Then why use the term "fangirl" when you're just as much talking about any fan? Also, a seasoned comic book writer can hardly be defined as simply a fangirl, although yes, the writers do tend to be fans.

It makes it feel like they're a little embarrassed of the material and are reassuring the audience that it's nothing to take seriously.
Joe Friday (@joefriday37.bsky.social) reply parent
And "silly" doesn't mean a tongue in cheek, wink-wink-nudge-nudge, self aware approach. The characters acting like they know they're "silly" contradicts what makes them that way to begin with.
Joe Friday (@joefriday37.bsky.social) reply parent
Their sentiment is a misunderstanding. When people say superheroes are silly, I know a lot of people just mean that their aesthetic and tone is bold and weird. But the "silly" part is that the strangest things are given a serious treatment and created in earnest. It doesn't mean superpowered clowns.
