J.K. Rowling news up in the heezy! The house! The hacienda! The author’s first “adult novel” (scare quotes to call attention to the somewhat nebulous term) is getting a miniseries courtesy of HBO. Not having read the book, I am still at least intrigued given the author and network.

Here’s a rather fantastic rendition of Arya and The Hound by Skottie Young. Visit his site. Buy his stuff.

YEAH OKAY SO OFFICIALLY IT WAS YESTERDAY when Game Boy turned 25 years-old. But we’re going to talk about it today. ‘Cause this is my virtual house. And on top of not wearing shoes, making it okay to pee in the sink, and insisting the running water is replaced with Diet Dew, a main rule of mine is we talk about shit when I want to. (Or I get around to it.) But yeah seriously fuck Game Boy has turned old as shit, marking me as older than shit.

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have been dominating the block for a hot while now. Or, depending on your enjoyment of their movies, at the very least been making movies together. But now the dynamic duo is splitting up, with one of them aiming for the Star Trek 3 director’s chair.

Maybe Tarantino ain’t killing The Hateful Eight. Just modifying it. I’m glad, Quentin! I’m glad! It seems you’re doubling back on that moment where you proclaimed “Fuck The Hateful Eight! It leaked! Now I leak!” You proceeded to shit into the middle of the script, smash it together, fecal matter flinging wide and high in the room you were in. And I’m glad you’re doubling back. You can’t erase the fecal blast, but you can at least bring this movie to the world.

Listen to the rogues that you come across.

These scoundrels are going to tell you things that make you uncomfortable. Hell, they might just tell you that your way of life is wrong, that it’s contributing to greater evils. When you give them an open ear, they’ll fill it with all sorts of detritus. Stuff that’s bound to upset your sensibilities. Ideas that make you want to vomit. Maybe they’ll ask you to chew on the notion that everything you believe is a lie. They’ll be vulgar and angry and a bit discomfiting.

And you need to listen to them.

`Cause right or wrong, if we don’t entertain roguish ideas then we have no right to accept the easy ones. Sure, some of the time the doomsayers and fringe-dwelling miscreants are wrong. But we can’t know that for sure unless we give `em a chance. And every now and then, when the blue moon turns blood red, the rogues are right. And when this is the case, they’re usually showing us that Daddy Society’s been belting the most hapless, defenseless of his children.

Listen to the rogues.

Warren Ellis is well…my dark lord. And master. Tula Lotay is a talent that I’ve been following religiously on the Insta-Gram for a couple of years now. The idea that the two of them are teaming up on something as out-of-right-field and eclectic as a Supreme book? Has me jazzed.
