Wall art available in the ATB Publishing store on Tee Public. It's a replica of the KAB Radio station gate sign from the 1980 movie The Fog. The text and border is maroon, with circles at each corner to mimic being attached to the gate. The center reads, "KAB RADIO 1340 FCC LIC 66W9 NO TRESPASSING."

Screen grab from the 1980 movie The Fog that shows DJ Stevie Wayne pausing to open the gate at the top of the stairs leading to her lighthouse radio station. You can see the sign on the gate, which has a maroon border and maroon text in the center that reads, "KAB RADIO 1340 FCC LIC 66W9 NO TRESPASSING."

How niche are the designs in our TeePublic shop? We made a version of the KAB Radio gate sign from THE FOG because we wanted one to hang on our own wall.

Screen grab of a scene from the movie EASY A. Emma Stone's character (Olive) is standing on the left facing Thomas Haden Church's character (Mr. Griffith). They are in the school cafeteria. Mr. Griffith is saying, "Don't forget, tomorrow's Earth Day."

I've already been doing this for years, but I'm increasingly convinced I will never again bother with new films. I won't give a fucking penny to those corps. I'll watch old movies on physical media from indie labels (old faves and ones I've never seen), and dwell in the comfortable past forevermore.

A true sign of quality entertainment. I once re-created this animation in HD for reasons. And of all the options, this is the one movie I would have chosen to feature it. Lovely. Atmospheric. Perfect.

The 'Indiana Jones-ploitation' phenomenon peaked with this fun and kitschy Italian trilogy of knock-offs from director Antonio Margheriti.

I was so scared holding that ACTION #1, in fact, that when they gave it to me and I opened it for the photoshoot, I had to hold it still on the same two-page spread. And I opened it to the boring text feature, "South Sea Strategy!" Couldn't even look at Superman! 🤷‍♂️ 2/2

A pic of me, Arnold T. Blumberg, in Sept. 1996, holding a copy of ACTION COMICS #1 for a photoshoot at my job (I was editor at a comic book collectible company at the time). I am smiling as if I'm looking at it with great excitement and interest...except that when I held the comic for that photo, I was so nervous to touch a valuable item like that, I opened it to a boring text feature and never saw so much as a glimpse of Superman.

For #SupermanDay, here's a pic from Sept. 1996. I had just started as an Editor at Overstreet. They featured me as a "Star Collector" in the Diamond corporate rag, and handed me an actual ACTION #1! I was sooo nervous and held it gingerly. 1/2

I got to watch all these movies with him as he wrote his review, and I definitely concur that the picture quality on these discs is absolutely stunning.

Also, the music is so wonderfully silly that I may or may not have starting shout-singing along with the subtitles like I was in a karaoke bar.

I'm excited to share my first new article in a while, part of what I hope will be a series celebrating cult films and physical media companies. It's @severinfilms.bsky.social and their great 3-movie set of "Indiana Jonesploitation" movies by dir. Antonio Margheriti!

I just saw a few new movie teasers, and I think we need to impose a five- to ten-year moratorium on all film production and make everyone go back and watch lots of old Italian and Spanish cult cinema to relearn how to make entertaining movies again.

Screen grab from the movie Free Guy. The weirdo idiot tech CEO Antwan, played by Taika Waititi, is standing in the server room of his company casually holding an axe over his shoulder. The programmer character of Mouser, played by Utkarsh Ambudkar, is standing across from him looking concerned.

A panel from the 5/31/51 PEANUTS strip with a blissfully happy and unaware baby Schroeder (his second strip appearance) sitting on the floor and staring off into the distance. Patty (in her checked dress and with a bow in her short straight hair) stands in the background looking toward him and Charlie Brown, who stands next to Schroeder on the right, leaning down, and saying "Doesn't Schroeder ever talk?" And yes, CB is already wearing his trademark zig-zag shirt by this point.

I've started reading PEANUTS from the beginning, and so far this image of a blissfully happy and unaware baby Schroeder (his second strip appearance in May 1951) may be my favorite single drawing. If only we could all be so joyously ignorant.

The Return When a boy and a girl spot strange lights in the sky, nobody could predict that thirty years later they’d reunite and fall in love, because that is very stupid. But then again we’re talking about

Is Spielberg's DISCLOSURE DAY just going to be a big-budget remake of THE RETURN (1980)???
