The only advantage of this is that they wasted years of their lives (and I would hope, a lot of money) on this. They are only deserving of your pity, which they absolutely do not want.

Just for the record, you can't buy this in the UK. It doesn't meet safety standards- you know, crumple zones etc.

You will/may know these but let's go: The Invisibles (Morrison/various), 20th Century Boys (Naoki Urukawa), The Incal (Jodorowski/ Moebius), V for Vendetta (Moore/ Lloyd), Mort Cinder (Œsterheld/ Breccia) & any of the albums featuring Asterix (Goscinny/ Uderzo) & Tintin ( Hergé).

I'm in the UK. We banned pretty much all guns (without strict licences) after a school shooting in Dunblaine, Scotland. Never had one since. So all of this sounds bloody terrifying.

Cheers- preparing for Furiosa and came across this (I've done my part). Was talking to my wife today and we miss when Twitter was a way you could follow events in real time. It's gone now. It's everyone howling their opinions into the yopping void.

I'm not exactly sober - I prefer talking about movies. But it's late and everybody is asleep.

It's Bartertown awaiting Mad Max.

Did a similar double bill with a buddy- played a load of 7 samurai (inspired) trailers including Gladiators 7 (an Italian pablum knockoff from 1961- may be your jam- never seen it,) then started with V Madonna Daisenso- (1985) a Japanese version set in a modern day highschool. Finished with BBTS.

Great piece- I'm still replaying Baldur's Gate 3 with my daughter. The only other game I finished this year was Alan Wake 2. I haven't even started on 2024 yet. Time is the enemy.
