Very much think they should put Bond on the shelf for a while and just adapt Brubaker, Epting, and Breitweiser's miniseries VELVET, which is based on the simple but excellent idea of, "what if Moneypenny was actually the best operative at MI6, and absolutely nobody other than M knew it?"

I don’t know if Guillermo del Toro’s version of NIGHTMARE ALLEY works better in black & white, but it sure does flatter Rooney Mara.

Anyways while they're sorting out the Bond franchise, I recommend everyone instead go read Ed Brubaker, Steve Epting, and Elizabeth Breitweiser's comic miniseries VELVET, which asks a very simple question: what if Moneypenny was actually the best operative at MI6, and no one but M knew it?

Dorothy Malone as the unnamed book shop clerk in THE BIG SLEEP. Even in glasses and plain shopgirl clothes is easily just as much a knockout as Lauren Bacall.

Amazon sent me a physical print catalog in the mail for some reason, which feels a little, uh, counter-intuitive to their business model.

Anyways, after a long Sunday working on a historical tall ship, it’s time to relax and settle in with the new @dstlry.bsky.social comic by @stephsmash.bsky.social and @marclaming.bsky.social about…working on a historical tall ship.
I’m sure nothing bad will happen to anyone.

…that you’re sober. It’s HARD to get shitfaced and wake up with new ink.
But since it’s not impossible (sketchy shops exist), I’ll add: I have a tattoo the same size at Platner’s, in a similar place. It took ~5 hours. He may have been drunk at the start, but he certainly wasn’t when they finished.
