It's Thursday, it's March, let's enjoy some comics-y superhero-y goodness!

We are two months into 2021. Just two months.
I have nearly lost my Nan twice so far in 2021.
Covid (which she had in January) has been so damaging to her health... it's awful.
If you're one of the people who thinks it's not that bad, or it's a hoax, or it somehow doesn't apply to you, then you can fuck off.
And yes, it kills me to write swear words without *s, but I'm leaving it in.

You know I love novel (or novella) length fanfiction.
The beautiful dedication that it takes to write a piece like this always makes me smile.
It's Thursday, it's February 2021, let's get some comics-y superhero-y goodness!
Why are popular films, and popular media in general, somehow seen as unworthy?
Who decides what counts as Art anyways?
Cos being asked to locate the grand-high judge of all things artsy films would
not have me running to call Martin Scorsese (...who would totally take my
call, because let's face it, I'm awesome and stubborn as a mule persistent.)
In a pretentious burst of overly-descriptive prose, Martin Scorsese's essay in Harper's Magazine was published this week to the irritation of many fans of superhero blockbusters and popular films.
Why?
Well, Scorsese previously ran his mouth about Marvel movies in 2019, and it seems that even in this current piece about the artsy Italian director Federico Fellini, he couldn't resist some entitled barbs at films that people actually like watching.
It's titled, 'Il Maestro: Federico Fellini and the lost magic of cinema' because... why not? I guess?
