Whatever happened to belted sweaters? Are these skills now lost to history?

In honour of Anthony Head here's my favourite pictures of him on set of BBC Merlin in full Uther attire, playing on a pink Nintendo DS

RIP Sir 🕊

And Sammy Davis Jr. loved Prisoner, apparently. No lie.

Not bloody Giles, no!! To honour Tony Head (RIP) I must post one of my fave bits from Buffy, where Giles turns into a demon and has to turn to Spike, of all non-people, for help. Peak comedy.

I used to do storyboards for TV. It’s a highly demanding role that affords an artist tremendous creative input and can be a real stepping stone towards becoming a director. That this should be turned over to machines by bean-counting types is fucking outrageous.

[sadie rose @sadieillustrate]

storyboarding is THE entry level job for many artists. It’s also a serious craft. To replace it with ai is a choice

RIP Marjane Satrapi, the great cartoonist and film director, best known for PERSEPOLIS. She was only 56. A great talent. She will be missed.

Dance of the Dwarfs also features the actor John Amos playing the role of a 'shaman'. This may either amuse or offend you, depending on your sensibilities. He doesn't get a lot to do but is at least as earnest as Raffin in this pretty shoddy and inglorious production.

[Dan J Foley @pulpifieddan]

Watched this strange flick yesterday. Made in 1983, probably intended as a misguided Indiana Jones adventure knockoff, it's cheap, odd, muddled and badly made. Not devoid of interest for external reasons, it might be worth watching for lovers of forgotten video-era curios.

[Dan J Foley @pulpifieddan]

Dance of the Dwarfs is so cheap the budget allows for almost no decent FX work. The best they can do is a gnarly scene where a local's face is mauled by the claw of a weird jungle beastie (key to the plot but you'd hardly know it, the creatures so seldomly appear).

It’s still magic to me.

I never know what stage the American basketball season is at until suddenly it's all over. Weeks of 'yeah we're doing stuff' then 'boom boom boom done'. How it seems from my part of the world.

The Master (1984). Lee Van Cleef is a ninja master in this short-lived NBC TV show, returning to America to find his daughter. Tim Van Patten (later to direct The Sopranos) is his hot-headed apprentice. Bill Conti did the exciting theme music.

Pitched as a rival to the A-Team, the dynamic ninja duo drive around in a van helping strangers in distress, having exciting fights and generally doing all the usual master/apprentice tropes. Only 13 episodes were made and maybe that was enough.
