NEW BOOK ALERT! Here's my next two in the Iconic Directors series (cover art by Luke Bird) - two filmmakers VERY close to my heart. These are published 23 October, and available to pre-order now!

The cover of Christopher Nolan: The Complete Unofficial Guide, featuring a hat and a nuclear explosion.

The cover of James Cameron: The Complete Unofficial Guide, featuring a pair of Terminator sunglasses.

Third vote for the right boots from me! They are, indeed, the right boots.

I’m just unboxing Emberheart by Mindclash Games - art by Andrew Bosley - and I have to say this “Grunt” looks very familiar. Ring any bells, @watchitplayed.tv?

Only a week now until these are out. I grew up on Cameron’s movies, while Nolan’s been the defining director of my movie-journo life, so this is quite the publishing double bill for me!

Awesome news - congrats Ross!

Wasn’t this almost the plot of the 2000AD series Flesh, which posited that dinosaurs went extinct as a result of time-travelling dino-meat hunting/farming?

I’ve rarely had such complicated fun as I’m having with Peacemaker S2.

It’s actually a really warm movie, full of heart, but for many distributors it was sadly hard to see past the ‘splatty’ surface detail. Great to hear you enjoyed it too!
