I did not know that Paul Dano wrote a Riddler origin comic but now (thanks to the library) I’m going to check it out.

Been a longtime since I had a TV night as good as back to back Chair Company Ep 7 and Orson Welles’ Fountain of Youth (a pilot for an anthology series.) Can you imagine a world where they were multiple seasons of this show? youtu.be/pKjtLOOBqgk

SALES DIRECTOR: Why no kitchen table?
DESIGN LEAD: Because kitchen tables are for fucking Candyland. We’re selling a political mode of thinking: deduction as power. Think less “family night,” and more “I will find the hidden structure of your choices, and then I will destroy you.”

Finally caught up with Amanda Kramer’s Debbie Harry narrated cyberpunk cinema essay film SO UNREAL. Great insights and proto-digital vibes throughout (and proper respect for Mindwarp, Arcade, and Strange Days.) Inspiring to see it right on the heels of Alex Ross Perry’s Video Heaven. More please.

Any day an oral history of Dark Star appears on the timeline is a good one.
Dan O’Bannon said: '“Fuck ’em. If I can’t make them laugh, I’ll scare the shit out of them.” And that was the seed for his screenplay for Alien.'
‘We used a beachball as an alien!’ John Carpenter on his gloriously shonky sci-fi comedy Dark Star
‘The control room buttons were upside-down ice-cube trays, one space suit had a dish-drying rack on it – and the special effects guy wrote the theme tune lyrics’

Shame about Udo Kier, one of the coolest to ever do it. Somehow he once materialized at a 237 party while we were in full swing and pitched me on the idea of rebooting ‘The Hands of Orlock’ which I sure would have loved to do.
