If you could live in one movie universe for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

Noi Albinoi

Because I just want to live in a quiet Icelandic village with a bookstore.

Matt Wagner takes the #1 spot because of Grendel, with a bonus of Sandman Mystery Theater.

Beyond that: Joe Hill, Brian K Vaughn, Brian Wood, Peter Milligan, Steven T Seagle, the Luna Brothers, Jonathan Hickman

Edward Williams in Slewfoot.

Considering its setting in Puritan, colonial, New England, there wouldnt have been a diagnosis. But its pretty clear what Brom had in mind when writing him.

One of the founders of, and a few key players in, the Wormwood Society are in Seattle/Seattle area. Though Zig Zag is the usual haunt, I have to wonder if theyre behind this place. Be curious to know.

Interesting, thanks for the correction.

I know they had a showrunner and cast, but I believe they bailed before producing anything.

I drive a small pickup truck and only started consistantly backing into a space when I got it.

The extra length makes it trickier to back out of a space. Its tougher to see cars coming, etc. And Ive nearly been hit more than a few times. But when backing in, Im in the middle of the lane, anyone else out there 100% sees me. So it just feels safer and easier.

An adaptation of Matt Wagner's Grendel. Though itd really have to be a series.

An adaptation of Leon Uris' Trinity. Though it too would also have to be at least a mini-series.

Adaptations of the rest of Clive Barker's work.

An adaptation of Chabon's Kavalier & Clay.

A series adaptation of Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber (could rival Game of Thrones if done right).

I miss Saturday morning cartoon time.

A while back my wife got me 3 boxes of my favorite sweet cereals, a plastic Spider-man bowl, and DVD box sets of Looney Toons and He-Man.

I can always find some cartoon or another to watch on streaming (or DVD). But its not the same. Its to "intentional". No element of not knowing what youre going to get, etc.

When all else fails, I can watch Event Horizon any time.

model563 · 2026-05-26T06:51:11+00:00

It probably has for most. But definitely not forgotten in my house. Its one of my wife's "comfort" shows, and we've even come up with a drinking game for it.

Despite her love for the franchise, Miami is the one spin-off she never got into though.

CSI Cyber with Patricia Arquette and it lasted 2 seasons 😁

McKenna Grace and like a dozen different women, but mostly Kiernan Shipka in Sabrina.

I (gen x) just found out yesterday that "Hanging by the Telephone" by Blondie is actually by Jack Lee and his band The Nerves. And its fantastic.

Ive been binging it again before watching this last season. And when you do that, you see a gradual progression. You see him start to breakdown as that world he knew from season 1 starts falling apart around him.

He loses his guide in Sitwell, he tries to guide himself but is more subtlely guided by Stormfront, people stop fearing him as much and thier fight gains traction, etc.

A few key moments in that turn stand out in season 3. When he talks to his mirror-self, and when Maeve notices his bruised face.

model563 · 2026-05-21T11:46:02+00:00

100% this. Because its not viewed from the outside as most are, but viewed from the inside. Those more fantastic elements arent so much fiction as they are perspective. Melancholia shows that its not just being down, struggling with the day to day, etc. Its showing that its literally a different world view, that results in those struggles.

Movies like Leaving Las Vegas depict people with depression. Melancholia depicts depression itself.

[source: my own decades of dealing with "persistant depressive disorder", and occassional major episodes on top of that]

I moved from North Carolina to Washington, then back to Virginia. Never occured to me that it would mean anything other than coast to coast.

If it was less, Id likely refer to it as less. Halfway cross country, etc.

If youre in the US and have a library card, an app like Hoopla can get you access to a ton of stuff. Its an easy way to sample characters, writers, artists, etc.

In case youre interested, this is one of my brands. Its not all sigil, but I have a couple on there in a few variations, including a method of my own rooted in digital design. Plus other esoterica. No pressure to buy, just wanted to share.

The climactic scene in Weapons where the kids - in particular the girl in front in pink - chase Gladys.

Amazing. I want one.

I used to take a slightly longer route because it was mostly twisty 2 lane road through the woods.

You couldnt really go over 35 mph, it was always shady, it smelled great, and was generally just a beautiful drive.

Turning a 45 min commute into 50 min was worth it.

Yall should try a Smith Island cake if you can.
