That's so cool! I always wanted these Hudson GB games that came in the tins. Alas, I think the days of them being cheap on eBay are numbered.

I was there in 2005 when they chose Daniel Craig and by people's initial reactions you would have thought they had chosen Mr. Bean.

24 THE GAME (2006) #RandomGameSaturday
I don't know why 2K published this stateside because Sony published it in Europe. It was developed by SCEE Cambridge so this is a late in life first party PlayStation title. It was nominated for a BAFTA and used all the actors from the show for VO.

That sounds amazing. I was reading up after the fact and Wikipedia did say Ebert Loved Dark City.

Highlander is incredible in a way only an 80's film could be. So many cars destroyed. So much glass shattered everywhere. And the Queen soundtrack. It's a fun movie.

The similarities are impossible to ignore. When thinking what I wish Dark City had (Mostly more interesting characters and motivations) I realized that is basically the Matrix. It's also crazy to me that they shared some sets! But at the same time, they are both original takes on the same concept.

I was thinking about this when I watched it this week. It's just a fantastic, one-off Sci-Fi romp. Feels like a book that got adapted very well.

The first time I read Scott Pilgrim I hated it. I read it again years later and it finally clicked. I love it now, but it also feels like it isn't exactly made for me.

I really enjoyed the movie. Scott is just not a good person, but that's sorta the point. He's in a state of arrested development.

This is the dream. I'm mostly convinced the Beatles were so prolific because they were stuck in hotels all the time.

Leaf tries to warn everyone of impending doom and I talk about why it's a good thing I have a scanner that works in this week's edition of the iNKWiTs Sunday Funnies. #comics

Covers for Dark City, Gundam 0080: War In The Pocket, Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie and Highlander.

Dark City is fascinating. I didn't like Gundam 0080: War In The Pocket as much as most gundam fans seem to. I'm still thinking about Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. And Highlander is Scott Pilgrim for boomers. letterboxd.com/NostraDouglas #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Unbound 227 - Panel #1: Galley, "Leaf, did you see Tab started reading that three hundred volume manga series?" Leaf off panel, "Yes! I helped him find it!" Panel #2: Leaf, "I started reading it too!"

I'm not a believer in George Lucas-ing your own work, but I can think of about a half dozen ways I'd punch this up now. I might make it a project to specifically make a variation of this gag. (This ran back in 2022) #comics

Spent nearly 4 hours tonight scanning a banker's box full of comics straight from old newspapers. I couldn't figure out why I hadn't done this before and then I remembered - I drew the strip for 5 years with a broken scanner!

Unbound 434 - Panel #1: Slug, "OH NO! Guys, What happened!?" Panel #2: Leaf and Galley pathetically lying on the ground. Leaf, "We're dying because you're LATE!" Galley, "You always come in early before we get here and... Panel #3: Leaf and Galley in unison, "...Brew Coffee."

Unbound - 435 Panel #1: Slug, "Ok guys, stop moping around. I made some coffee. Panel #2: Slug continues, "I brewed it extra-" Panel #3: The coffee pot violently vibrates. Panel #4: The coffee pot takes off like a rocket and crashes through the ceiling. Panel #5: Slug, "-Strong." Galley and Leaf look on in awe.

I never took "Death And Dying" in college. Do they talk about coffee resurrecting the dead? Or do they expect you to figure it out on your own? #comics #coffee
