Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession

Xan Cassavetes’ Z CHANNEL: A MAGNIFICENT OBESSION (2004, TCM) ends with Z Channel programming director Jerry Harvey’s favorite love song, “What’ll I Do,” played over a montage of scenes from films he programmed and, in many cases, saved from obscurity. It’s the perfect ending to a two-hour love letter to one of the first pay cable stations. From 1974 to 1989, the network won a devoted following in Los Angeles with an eclectic mix of classic, contemporary and obscure films. It achieved a golden era under Harvey, from 1980 until his death in 1988. A film fanatic, he created imaginative festivals, bringing back forgotten works, including those by famous directors, and pioneering in showing directors’ cuts of such films as HEAVEN’S GATE (1980), THE WILD BUNCH (1969) and ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA (1984) that had originally been butchered by production companies. When Harvey championed current films like SALVADOR (1986), he even influenced the Oscars, helping the until-then-forgotten picture pick up nominations for Best Actor and Best Screenplay. There are wonderful film clips sprinkled through the picture, which otherwise is mostly a talking heads documentary as co-workers, friends and filmmakers remember Harvey and the channel. Cassavetes is a sensitive interviewer and gets some great memories out of people. Occasionally, she overindulges them, and they go into lengthy production stories that really have nothing to do with the Z Channel. But when it hits, which is most of the time, the film is a testament to the power of movies as an art form and the impact of the people who love them.

Worked on this late last night lol…here’s my take on the A pokemon...I tried to mimic the logo style but it went a bit off than expected.

-> Arbordrasil (concept art, typing, formes, inspiration behind the design)

Disclaimer: this original pokemon was made simply for enjoyment in entertaining the idea of what legends z-a might be. Not meant to be "legitimate" or serious prediction.

i go down a lot of youtube rabbit holes bc i love wasting my own time. the latest is a channel called "beirut explosion angles" that has over 900 recordings of the 2020 beirut explosion, all attributed to their original sources. it's one of the most comprehensive and fascinating pieces of archival work i've ever seen. where it starts to get strange is that it appears to have been created by two 13-year-old siblings (now 16-17ish) who simply hyperfixated on the event so strongly that they became the premiere journalistic sources on this topic. i guess they must have started the project together while home during quarantine lockdowns?? they currently have an instagram group chat for people from beirut who have been uncovering more footage even in 2024. and they made a weird unscripted video where the boy asked people who are here for the archival stuff to follow his gaming livestream channel with less than 10k subs.

the kids are alright. i guess.

and also. so fucking weird.

Going to briefly break scheduling for a quick tribute to the late Akira Toriyama. More under the cut.

It might not be super evident but Dragon Ball had a massive influence in my decision to become an artist. It will also have an equally large influence on this comic in the future. The very first piece of animation I ever remember watching were old vhs tapes of the anime my dad introduced me to as a kid. I always feel very proud that it was my dad that made me a lover of art.

I had a weird sensation hearing the news early in the morning. I had this manic urge to draw. Not even this particular drawing, just to draw something. Anything. I think this urge was driven by a thought I had a while ago about a similar event.

A while ago, an artist I followed announced that they had to give up art forever because of a personal event. This artist was very skilled and beloved by many. In an instant, they vanished. This moment always stuck with me. There were many times in my life were I wanted to give up on my dreams. However, there are many people who are unable to continue creating due to medical issues, financial issues, or even death. What excuse did I have to give up when I still have my life ahead of me.

Seeing people celebrate Toriyama's impact on art awakened something in me. I realised the power art has to connect us and inspire. I had a similar revelation while working on the Opperation Enhappifycation stream recently. It might seem silly, but it always felt like I was the only person who liked Molly McGee. I'm not really a fandom person. So, it was incredibly rewarding to see so many fans and talented creators come together to help people through this show.

It's been a dream of mine to make people happy with my art. Seeing the magnitude of hearts touched by Toriyama's art feels makes that dream seem tangible. Toriyama didn't seem to give up on his vision, so I don't plan to give up on mine either.
