Ever piss you off when old movies aren’t available anywhere? Decided I wanted to watch the 1941 Red Skelton comedy “Whistling in the Dark” because I remembered liking it as a kid at it isn’t streaming anywhere (except a very dodgy .ru site). You can’t even buy the DVD anymore!

If @countbinface.bsky.social were elected, young cats like this one wouldn’t have to resort to a life of crime.

Not a drill!!! So @forbeck.com, how long have you been keeping this under your (presumably very large) hat?

Don’t forget that she did a Marx Brothers film!

Players seem to enjoy the last two sessions of the MARVEL MULTIVERSE RPG I’ve run for them in as many weeks. Hydra has been smashed. Shields have been…”borrowed”. SURPRISE @heroforgeminis.bsky.social HAVE BEEN GIFTED!?

Guys, I’m scared. I blacked out while watching an episode of MST3K and this happened.

Also, I know it is hard to tell from the pic, but your maps project very well.

James Hickson@misterhickson· Jun 20

I’m a big fan of your work projects. Used one some last night.

I'm curious, those of you who backed the "City of the Black Rose" setting from @rollandplaypress.bsky.social, did you pick the Daggerheart or 5e version?

Snippet of the front cover of "City of the Black Rose".
It features a man in suit and bowtie wearing a old-fashioned gas mask w/ a shattered lense. Through the shattered lenses, we can see the man's terrified expression. The is covered in blood.
Behind the man, we see a background of shattered glass, with each shard representing a different aspect of the setting. There is an elegant looking woman with a high spiked ridge collar, city skyscrapers, and a snarling beastial maw.

What’s this!? A thought balloon!?!? In a comic book!?!?!? From 2024!?!?!?!!? 💭

Two panels from Image’s Scarlett mini-series from 2024, in which the title character is shocked to recognize another character at a ritzy underworld auction. “It’s Jinx.” appears in a squared thought balloon.

I understand your pain. We lost our beloved Phantom in December. She wasn't even two yet. It was just horrible and it is still an aching hole despite having acquired two more kittens since then. My sincere condolences and hopes for healing.

James Hickson@misterhickson· May 8

I haven't watched a movie in the last couple of weeks because of studying for the three massive certification exams I have tomorrow, but I also haven't done #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched in a while ...so, here you go!

Recent Activity from Letterboxd, showing me four most recently watched films as "Times Square" "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie", "Project Hail Mary", and "Rocky".

I may have uttered an expletive upon finding out that the “Kents” lived in the same county as me.

Decided to try making an Amalgam-themed character sheet for the Marvel Multiverse RPG. There was, of course, no doubt of which character would be featured.

That’s true! He currently has a shaved leg and tummy after a very expensive trip to the emergency vet. So I have that going for me…for now.

Anyone remember these PSAs that DC Comics used to run in the early 90s?

This is the version Blade should be teaming up with…and he should look like this:

I mean…this will surprise no one who knows me…or has even had a casual conversation with me.
