My publisher just out of the blue sent me an animated trailer for my book?? WHAAT??!!

We didn’t get a S4 announcement, but you know what the absolute best thing about today’s C2E2 Hannibal panel truly was? 

For almost the first time since the show ended, Fannibals showed how profitable Hannibal can still be. 

C2E2 sold out of their remaining VIP ticket packages with guaranteed panel seating within 48 hours of the reunion announcement. Paid PopVerse subscriptions to stream the panel spiked with previously untapped demos (if socials are anything to go by). The largest event hall at C2E2 was overcapacity 45 minutes before the panel; while that’s normal for cons like SDCC and NYCC, in my experience that’s less common at C2E2.

Not to mention Mads and Hugh making bank with autograph and photo-op sales; a huge component of drawing in good talent to table at cons as well, making sure they make enough over the weekend to justify their presence beyond panel appearances. From a talent booking/event management perspective, this is the absolute dream scenario.

So, here’s the super fun part: ReedPop, the company that owns C2E2, also owns/operates New York Comic Con (NYCC), one of the highest-profile US entertainment conventions after San Diego Comic-Con. Now that ReedPop is aware of the viability of Hannibal programming, it would be extremely surprising if RP didn’t attempt a run at a larger, proper reunion panel at NYCC.

Honestly, great job, team. 2024 could very well be the year we get real buzz going again!

I got a tumblr style rant for this xtter style rant.

This again? When has telling people "make better entertainment choices?" ever worked?

But also "X is mindless garbage that's destroying culture?"

It's so fucking cliché.

Before the MCU, it was reality TV, before that it was video games, before that MTV, Rap music, sitcoms, hippies, Rock & Roll, comic books, TV, movies, can't forget JAZZ, it goes back to the penny dreadful, to novels in general, and beyond.

Just say you're pissed off the pulp trash is getting all the money and be up front about it.

Maybe a legendary director could move the culture on Hollywood accounting and the obvious fraud of the marketing budgets, and solve that a bit?

Better yet, maybe go tell congress that giant entertainment monopolies are crushing small projects and limiting consumer options. A horde of little mice would eat a more diverse array of cheese than one giant one.

"See the rats in their million hordes, From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads"

But who am I fooling? This is kayfabe.

Harlan Ellison pulled this act off for years for self promotion (far better, I might add).

He'd strut out, tell the Star Wars nerds their movies sucked, soak up the boos and get eyes on everything he was doing.

The entertainment media, they love it. It's the easiest, laziest, click-bait imaginable. If the news day is slow, you just ask Martin Scorsese or Alan Moore about comic book movies and transcribe the one that answers first.

I mean, I've drawn you in with a multiple page ramble about this, after all.

Shakespeare had a line about this... what was it?

Oh yeah!

"WHAT? You egg!" [he stabs him]

That's the stuff.

I’m not saying it’s surprising or inherently wrong [on the athletes’ part] or whatever but. the way NIL has shaken out so far with the value of male athletes and their “brands” being determined primarily by their athletic prowess and merits, and female athletes being overwhelmingly valued on their sex appeal above all other attributes, is just so fucking deflating I mean oh my GOD.

Applied for my first Big Girl job after five years of grinding at this PhD (the end is in sight!!), and guess what folks— my degree actually supplied me with skills relevant to the job posting. My skills are needed. There’s a place out there for me. The utter shock of it all!!

promising myself that if I send in five job applications or more in the next 24 hours I can give myself a little treat (an 8x10 of paulie I saw on eBay that made me downright critically DEHYDRATED for that man)

During the talk, right after ‘Man Suang exclusive preview’, Pond said that:

Major Group informed him that Man Suang is ranked No. 2 over a period of 10 years for selling such a huge amount of presale tickets.

THAT’S AN ENORMOUS RESULT !!!!!

"why would they give washed 56 year old daniel a seat?!?!?!" cuz max loves him, christian loves and deep down even helmut is quite fond of him, hope that helps

(also he's a damn good driver, no matter what mclaren says)

and that's not even getting into the fact that he likes the same shit in a car that max does, making it easier for everyone to just focus on building the fastest car possible knowing that both drivers will be able to drive it, no concessions or compromises needed

oh i can already tell i’m about to have some really unpopular opinions about the edge of sleep tv show

La Liga/Barca should be paying you instead of trying to take down your account, nobody's dropping updates like you are, and this quickly, insane work 🙌🏼

aww thank you, i really appreciate it!!! i wish they did haha, but sadly La Liga would rather create an ai influencer to 'promote' its league than their actual fans
