Before Potter and Downton most millennials knew Maggie Smith as the elderly Wendy opposite Robin William’s Peter Pan in Spielberg’s Hook. Her early scenes were so strong that everything else in the film seemed to pale by comparison. #RIPMaggieSmith youtu.be/fwgz_87qelw?si=07Lc…

One of the few pieces of original comic art I own is this final group page of Astonishing X-Men, in which Cassaday effortlessly captured the distinct personalities and capped off one of the all-time X-Men comics. #RIPJohnCassaday

Roger Corman was so prolific, inventive and influential that he manages to appear in nearly every Screen Studies unit I teach (this week it’s Teen Movies). I can’t imagine that’ll ever change. #RIPRogerCorman

Any home bakers out there have experiences of trying to make a cake based on a favourite character. Whether it was a triumph or failure I’m looking to talk to people about their baking inspiration for a piece I’m writing about Adaptation in the Kitchen. DM if interested. Thanks!
