a yet further reminder that all my posting action mostly happens over there now and this place is mostly turning into a kind of retweet-fueled aesthetic-tumblr-like-object, while it lasts

rewatched CHILDREN OF MEN again tonight. It's incredible in its own right but also every time I watch it, it becomes more and more familiar; this is still in our future and it can be prevented, but the margins get smaller and smaller every year

putting together a Patreon update for later tonight or perhaps tomorrow, here's a wee preview of what's in store for my patrons

the absolute boys!
I told Ben Wheatly that I consider KILL LIST as one of my desert island film. there’s also Derek Kolstadt who turns out to be one of the chillest screenwriter ever.

an important thing you should know about Ireland is that it's not just rolling green hills, it also has weird eldritch geology. Its bones are haunted.

kind of actually wildly interesting that most film people seem to be not liking Gladiator II at all, but a growing crowd of historians I follow are enjoying it a whole lot, inaccuracies be damned.

needed some pen-and-paper stuff to while away the hours over Christmas 'cos we tend to have a lot of sociable-but-casual downtime in the Grace household, so I'm slapping together a fully-analog solo setup. Lookin' good so far.

getting in some hardcore digital painting practice (lighting, colour, figure reference) for the first time in literal actual years, doubling as doing up a portrait of Kattikali, a Pathfinder 2e character I've been noodling around with. She's a Vudran cleric of Diomazul.

clawed my way to level 3 in Morrowind + Tamriel Rebuilt, doing dirty work for the Fighter's Guild and the East Empire Company, shanking counterfeiters in the sewers of Old Ebonheart and murdering an outlander debtor in a basement bar in the temple-city of Almas Thirr. Good shit.

Having perhaps too much fun with this quasi-ancient-Ireland fantasy setting
people who support my patreon and have thus theoretically taken a glance at my WIP Tales of Sorrow and of Ruin: thinking of stripping out the setting creation stuff (maybe put it in a supplemental thing?) & giving the game a default bronze age ireland-inspired setting. Thoughts?

Jon, my dude, cinema itself is a dream. Films are mass illusions. The light comes from the same place the music does.
I asked Jon M. Chu about the colour in Wicked. Read the whole response here: theglobeandmail.com/arts/fil…
