Only Lovers Left Alive
Today I watched "Only Lovers Left Alive," a 2013 Jim Jarmusch film. It is hard to define its genre: Wikipedia describes it as "Gothic fantasy comedy-drama," but I've also seen it defined as "horror thriller." I guess to say it has a little bit of everything would be fair. I'm going to run it quickly through my usual media literacy analysis, with major spoilers included. So if you want to watch it and hate spoilers, you should probably stop here.

From Variants to Legacy
This idea didn’t come from a panel, a publisher, or a Comic-Con keynote. It came from a comment section. After I published my article about how comic shops don’t need more collectors but more readers, I came across a comment that quietly reframed the entire conversation. The commenter pointed out something that, in hindsight, feels almost obvious: libraries are often the genuine point of entry for new comic readers, not comic shops.

Marty Supreme - A Movie Review
It’s every man for himself where I come from. Marty Supreme is a 2025 film. Marty Mauser, a professional table tennis player, stops at nothing to reach his global quest for stardom. That involves cheating the system, hustling, and endangering others with every pursuit of fame.
