The Comics Journal lists BLACK FLAME as one of the summer's best beach reads, which is very funny to me because it's about being sexually repressed in the winter in 1980s New York. tcj.com/beloved-beac...

It never really occurred to me how deeply and clearly indebted the UNDER THE SKIN soundtrack by Mica Levi, the greatest soundtrack in 21st-century film, is to the NEON GENESIS EVANGELION score.

I heard about how the Toxic Avenger reboot gave its $5mil advertising budget to a charity that pays off medical debt. Thatβs nothing to a larger studio, but this kind of thing is unheard of. Anyway it would be cool to see studio execs ground into a fine paste and their wealth redistributed.

I've entered a loop in which thinking a lot about the time I dreamed about going to see a movie called UNCLE SLAYER (tagline: Everyone Is Somebody's Uncle) causes UNCLE SLAYER to recur in my dreams, which causes me to think more about UNCLE SLAYER, a completely fake movie that does not exist.
