Belatedly got around to reading VENOM: BLACK WHITE AND BLOOD #2, and @thekarlapacheco.bsky.social and Pere Perez created a wonderful late-‘90s throwback to Larry Hama’s hoo-ha-ing secret agent Venom. It’s a blast.

If there is one thing Disney is doing right it’s that they are keeping the WHAT ABOUT BOB? (1991) hand puppets preserved in their archives.

Threw on the new Criterion of NIGHTMARE ALLEY 2021 and forgot that the reappearance of Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen makes this the Catalina Wine Mixer of Guillermo Del Toro's oeuvre.

I just want to know if they brought back the Congo Volcano Burrito.

(It may have been a mistake to name a Taco Bell menu item after something famous for, uh, erupting.)

He originally wanted to direct Rosemary’s Baby, and I’d love to see what gimmick he’d have come up with for it.

I've sent out a letter to [email protected]
discussing how much I appreciated the series and its talented array of creators, and I recommend that anyone else who enjoyed it do the same. (2/2)

Beware! The Rob @roblondon.bsky.social · 20d

Ah, this is a bummer. I got "wrapping things up" vibes from last week's issue, but it's still a bit of a shock to get it confirmed.

I loved how this series leaned heavily into the youth of today while still tossing in some wild continuity deep pulls for weirdos like me. (1/2)

Anthony Oliveira @meakoopa.bsky.social · 20d

Thank you all so much.

AVENGERS ACADEMY:

Warning! Major spoilers for #60 follow...please do not swipe til after reading this week's issue.

And so we come to the end.

It has I confess come upon us sooner than we thought and more sudden than we hoped – but that, I suppose, is the nature of all life’s endings.

[section of thanks abridged for character limit]

Comics will mend your heart, if you let them. When I was a scared, lonely, closeted kid, the Marvel universe’s heroes were there for me when very little else was. That is a debt I can never pay back, but one I’ve tried with great travail to pay forward. I want to believe we have afforded a little of that same refuge to those who sought it. I hope you saw yourself; please know you were seen. Til we all meet again (and may it be soon), may you find each other. May you find yourself. Remember that there’s always time – but waste no time. And what is broken is still beautiful.

Above all, remember love. It is all that lasts.

This is how I found out that apparently the reality show Big Brother, which I have never seen, periodically features a guy in a robot costume who insults the contestants.

A producer told me once she has to warn young crewmembers to avoid being alone with Aykroyd. "Not because he's a creep, he's a gentleman. But if you let him strike up a conversation the next thing we know all the PAs will be huddled in his dressing room learning how humans evolved from dolphins."

Col. Boozy Badger @boozybadger.lawyersandliquor.com · 27d

I love Dan Aykroyd because he has very clearly entered the stage in his life where he is going to make sure everyone knows about his special interests and he has the profile and resources to do it in a high profile manner. You are GOING to hear about rocks, dinosaurs, vodka, and ghosts dammit.
