In fact, I kind of missed the lead-up to Halloween altogether. It's been quite busy lately. But no matter! I'm in the mood for a little Doom.

It's the After-Ween Prompt Week!

I think doing voice for animation is... is probably acting in its most purest and ancient form. It's a bit like... the Greek form of acting, in the ancient Greek. where they had masks on. In our case, the mask is the animator's drawings, you know.

The Making of the Lion King.

Rest in peace, James Earl Jones.

Iconic Big Baddies

[patched-up-pants]

It is I, patched-up-pants, and I bring you some patched-up pants! These were not my first, nor will they be the last, for I have already begun works on yet another one, but they are most certainly my favourite pair to date. Although they took months to sew alone, I still enjoyed adding each and every one of the patches, except anything around the crotch, like the Siouxsie eyes, vice squad, or hole - that portion is the devil. The base itself is a pair of slim-fits I bought in Cropp so long I cannae even remember how many years it's been, while the patches have all been locally sourced (read: fabric purchased at a small, local fabric store) with the exception of one, which I had on my first jacket at, like, 15yo.

I am not full of certainty as to whether these can truly be referred to as 'crust' pants, for not only do they lack the singularity of being veiled solely in crust punk bands, but they additionally possess pieces related to topics outside of the punk scene, or even music entirely. Some are completely without theme actually; say, the ones on the cheeks. There appear images pertaining to manga, like Berserk, or MahoYome, various genres of punk, as well as metal, politics, especially on the bottom in the back, and even some more light-hearted tunes like Minami and Yorushika. Naturally, there are also ones whose entire vision is based more on the placement, rather than the substance of the patch itself, and those are all sexually charged to at least a noticeable degree; Analogs written right above the asshole, the target right On Top of it, Hole slightly below, or the Eyes right on the crotch, though those only become visible should the legs be spread a decent amount. If anyone believes these to be childish/immature, please, refrain from making that opinion known.

Also yes, the eyes are in fact ripped, and so is the Hole patch, however, that's a little more hidden.

James Earl Jones, RIP

Just heard the heartbreaking news, one of the greatest, most awesome and all time INCREDIBLE actors of all time, as well as one of the sweetest, kindest and most selfless human beings ever, has passed away. The seemingly immortal James Earl Jones, one of the most famous actors of his generation, well respected on both big and small screens AND on the stage for over SEVEN DECADES, respeonsible for portraying some of my favourite screen characters ever ... this might be the one that hurts me the most this year ...

Of course, like everybody, he will FOREVER be most closely associated with Star Wars, as the voice of probably the greatest screen villain of all time, Darth Vader.

But he was also King Jaffe Joffer, the father of Eddie Murphy's wayward prince in Coming to America and its sequel ...

The Counter Culture author Terence Mann in the magnificent Field of Dreams, as well as ...

NSA Agent Abbott in director Phil Alden Robinson's next film, the underrrated suspense thriller Sneakers ...

Simba's dad Mufasa in The Lion King ...

Jack Ryan's CIA boss and father figure, Admiral Jim Greer, in The Hunt For Red October, Patriot Games AND Clear & Present Danger ...

Lt. Luther Zogg in one of my favourite screen comedies of all time, Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove, Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying & Love the Bomb (his VERY FIRST big screen role) ...

and, of course, MY very favourite role that he EVER PLAYED, the role I will always MOST FONDLY remember him for, one of my very favourite ever screen villains, the dastardly ancient wizard Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian.

Oh yeah, and also those brilliant and thoroughly hilarious Sprint adverts in which he and Malcolm McDowell would read out inane social media posts with the utmost gravitas as though it was Shakespeare ...

The man had an AMAZING RUN, and he is guaranteed to go down as one of the all time greats, beloved around the world and destined to become one of the true icons of the 20th AND 21st Centuries, remembered LONG after his passing. But he's STILL gone far too soon ...

James Earl Jones, January 17th 1931 - September 9th 2024. Rest In Power.

Just Saw The News

RIP to James Earl Jones.

One of, if not THE most iconic voice in cinematic history. I can't think of anyone in my life who wouldn't know a line spoken by him. One of the all time greats. The world is a little darker without him in it.

[emma-dennehy-presents]

Rest in Peace, James Earl Jones. I can not put into words how much this man's work touched my life.

[izunias-meme-hole]

So you're telling me that Darth "My life is dogshit and I'm nightmare fuel" Vader was inspired by Doctor "I'm an overdramatic badass and got my ass beat by squirrels" Doom?

THAT Doctor Doom?

Inspired this?!

RIP Legend

This one really hurts

[the-imaginative-hobbyist]

We lost a legend yesterday...Thank you Mr. Jones for bringing many iconic characters to life on the stage and the screen, there will never be another like you.

[crusaderguy]

The urge to hit one of these.

I know that Master Chief isn't sitting on a throne but I don't want to use the image from the show because helmets are cool and characters who never show their faces are one of my favorite types of characters.
