A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

It seems like the momentum is building behind The Brutalist. Dune 2 will scoop up various technical nominations and a handful of Oscars.
I think the implication is that it isn’t his poo. I’d assume he couldn’t muster anything to take this to the next level so fished Mr Hanky out of the portaloo.
I watched it in the cinema, so may save the 4k for a rewatch.
When I poster this at the time there was a video showing clips of this that isn’t showing now, but that clearly shows all the main cast acting together, so the blue screen studio wasn’t empty.
I’m definitely looking forward to watching that.
At this point we may need to have a moratorium on dark takes of public domain characters.
I’ll throw in the archive link, as I have used up my quota of free Vulture articles.
To be fair, we do need people in charge who are not afraid of Dr Who (as it’s difficult to run the country when hiding behind the couch), but not if they happen to be a sociopath.

I:m going shopping in Waitrose and I expect a free Range Rover when I leave.
“Turn this cheek motherlover!”
I quite like the pitch, Batman vs the 1%, but can’t get over the fact that the insignia on his chest is actually the head of an axe. It feels like it is trying too hard.
I presume someone in the picture library has a folder of photos of him looking like a smug toad because sometimes he has a removed or a pint in the way, so you can’t see properly.
Yeah, I may have been understating how batshit this could get.
“They killed him but that won’t stop, The Revenge of the Christ! And this time, he’s cross! Very, very cross!!”
“When in Rome… kill Romans!”
“Is that a Roman nose? Because it’s roamin’ all over your face!” #splat
“You nailed me to a cross, now I’m going to crucify you!”
“They called me a holy man, now you are a holey man!” #stab #stab #stab
Jesus 4: Messiah of Mars
Well I was already going to see it anyway but that suggests I want to get in early.
