The Warhammer 40k universe wouldn’t be what it is without the art direction of John Blanche. He coined the concept of grimdark: that decadent, oppressive, and dystopian atmosphere where religious mysticism and medieval sci-fi technology coexist. From his iconic covers to the original concepts of the most emblematic factions, his gritty and detailed linework gave this universe its definitive visual DNA, inspiring generations of modelers and painters worldwide.

Queen was originally asked for just one song. After watching a 20-minute reel of footage, they were so inspired that they wrote several more tracks, creating most of the film’s iconic music.

ElfQuest creators Wendy and Richard Pini explain why they canceled a movie deal with Fox Animation:
"They wanted to get rid of Skywise and instead make Cutter the keeper of the lodestone."
"Wendy and I looked at each other and, quite calmly, resolved that after pushing this particular boulder up a hill and having it tumble back down over us for almost 50 years... we’re finished."
"Hollywood has tried over and over, and let us down over and over. We will take no more options, no more meetings."
Why does Hollywood option properties if they want to completely change the stories and characters involved?
Transformers: The Movie (1986) is one of the most traumatic animated films ever. Optimus Prime’s death hit so hard that parents flooded Hasbro with letters: kids crying, not eating. Hasbro resurrected him, and Prime’s been killed and brought back in almost every iteration since.
We just past our 400th episode of Friday Night Tights. How did we make it to 400 episodes? No idea.
I started doing a Friday night show around 8 years ago. Why? At the time no one was really streaming on Friday night. I figured we can review the latest movie and recap the week in pop-culture entertainment with a focus on genre. Niche of the niche. In reality it was just an excuse to hang out with my friends and shoot the shit. There were no expectations beyond that.
6 or 7 years ago we started calling it Friday Night Tights, a name that someone in the chat came up with. Then we started adding guests and hosts. No planning, no effort, no organization, and no real idea what we were doing. Nothing has changed.
Sure, there might have been some controversy over the years. Nothing we really need to TACO BOUT now.
Somehow we have managed to stay together, have fun, and never miss a show. I've streamed from France, Peru, and Egypt. We've had brilliant guests including Superman, Shazam, Cara Dune, Alex Jones, a former Presidential candidate, and a guy who whipped out his micro penis. Okay, that one wasn't really that brilliant.
None of this would have been possible without your support. Averaging 16K-17K across YouTube and Rumble every Friday is really inexplicable, but we are grateful. It is an honor and privilege to be retarded in front of thousands of people with the full understanding that you are laughing at us, not with us. As long as you are laughing, that is all that counts.
Thank YOU🙏 - The FNT crew
