Star Wars Visions is a very interesting project with a mix of anime and Star Wars. A couple of them are good haha

Vampire Hunter D was one of the first anime that I saw, there are quite a few people who it has a special place for being one of the early horror ones and I think also because of the general weirdness of it. There is something very 80s and childish about the style of drawing I rewatched it it was ok, some great ideas and the colours are amazing, but I didn't like the drawings that much

It seems to me that we are seeing all of these cases of people being fired from universities and newspapers etc for stupid stuff because universities are so commercialised more than anything else. It's completely believable that there is this huge generation gap and people over 40 who make up a lot of the staff are just unable to understand the young people and their concerns. But twas ever thus. What seems to be different to me is that there is no authority because people are generally poorer. These people like Bari Weiss, Ayan Arsi Ali, I noticed that you were too smart to say Jordan Peterson lol. they are all very quick to become the martyrs. Just like the kids claiming to be oppressed at the first opportunity, these guys resign ...

  I think that the real ‘conspiracy’ here is not by the military. This focus on identity politics is not the powers that be priming people for another war, it is a capitulation by the youth to the powers that be. In the pre corporate era people were fighting over real life issues. The 60s in America people (not just young people) were fighting the state to end apartheid, military adventurism, nuclear war, drug prohibition, homophobia and many more things. A lot of these were victories for the people. Racism and homophobia are now illegal and socially unacceptable, restricted drugs are not as prohibited as they were, the military still has insane power, but they could not do a draft now like Vietnam etc If you compare that with now, the real issues like the environment, corporate control of government, the wealth gap etc just seem so big and unsolvable that they don’t motivate young people. And the political class are so far removed and incompetent that it just feels futile protesti...

This is a video that I made for a song by a couple of friends from when I lived in Vietnam. The film it is from is Bande a part one of the classic French New Wave films. It's a very interesting film, it's about thee 3 young people who try to rob the girls rich aunt, it's an ok crime film, but the main thing about it is how the kids are so alienated. They aren't bad, they just don't care, I suppose you could say that it's foreshadowing, they are nihilistic and alienated, they only relate to films, not real life. I'm just going to list two things that I love about it. 1) It is very much this magic version of France that I have in my head. I have lived in France and been there a lot, it is a beautiful place, and lovely also, but there is this mythical Amelie sort of France that I think we all have, including the French which is a bit 60s and all soulful depressed people playing pinball in cafes and having long smart discussions.  This film is very much in that ...

I have this love for Wallace and Gromit that goes right back to being there. It's weird, kind of like I imagine football is for football families. it might be a false memory, but I remember watching the first one where they went to the Moon with my dad when it first came out. They had an animation weekend, channel 4 used to do stuff like that in England, and my dad was always interested in what I was into and we watched it and loved it. there was a load of animation and a lot of it was good, but that was the star of the show My dad always liked the weird stuff about me, he encouraged me to be weird and it worked out in a way
