I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.
A small cartoon version of the ceramic Mongolian hedgehog shown in the quoted post. Behind him is the word AHHH in very large lettering. The caption under him says "just keep screaming".

The movie poster for "Jaws" (1975) but the shark is now a black marker pen and the swimmer is now a collection of Department of Justice documents.

'Invaders from Mars' (1953) has just started on TalkingPicturesTV.
A 1950s kid smashes his puny Earth fists against an impervious bubble housing an arse-based tentacle man from Mars.

Masterpiece. Now's a great time to watch it, if you haven't ever before.

An old friend paid for us to see The Lady Boys of Bangkok, on this day in 2019. At least a quarter of it was spent avoiding eye contact with Tina Turner for fear of being dragged from your seat & having your trousers pulled down while you tried to sing "In The Navy" to a theatre full of strangers.
One of The Lady Boys of Bangkok, dressed as Tina Turner, belts out "Simply The Best" while dancing across a theatre stage with a painted red heart backdrop. The trip was paid for by an old friend who was trying to tick off as many items from his dying Mother-in-Law's bucket list as he possibly could. He did her proud.

Japan's best stop-motion studio isn't loud about it. But the quiet charm of its work speaks for itself.

"The Treachery of Imitations"
Made for b3ta's 'Sci-Fi Art' image challenge on this day in 2018.
Magritte's 'The Treachery of Images' which usually shows a cool smoker's pipe with the words "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" (This is not a pipe) underneath it, except I've swapped the pipe for the husky from John Carpenter's 'The Thing'. The wording underneath now reads "Ceci n'est pas un chien" (This is not a dog).

Putting this out there. Took me far longer than I expected.
The chances of me getting the next four parts done by Christmas are slim to nil, but I'll see how well this one goes.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF - AGING MAN (1977): An alarming, and alarmist, PIF warning of the dangers of overeating stodgy food and not exercising enough. Oh, and peer pressure. Don't succumb to peer pressure, kids!

From this day in 2020.
The album cover for Prince's 'Purple Rain', but the night-time image of Prince on his motorbike in a rain-streaked alley has been altered to show him as Judge Dredd on a Lawmaster bike. The figure at the top of the stairs, leaning out of the doorway, is now Judge Death. The vertical sidebars on the cover which used to show a selection of flowers on a white background have been swapped for tumbling shell casings from spent bullets. The album title is now 'Judge Dredd'.
