Apparently you can buy FELL issues one and two for the iPhone (and probably the iPad) through the Comixology app. I don’t have a press release to quote from, I noticed someone mention it somewhere…
This is the "international" trailer for RED, it says.

Whom I really have to finally get a drink with, this year, all attempts so far having been thwarted. Link.
And that, I believe, concludes the "attention economy" portion of our day. Clever women and pretty pictures. We now return you to your normal programming, wherein one stupid bald man shouts at you over the internets.

Back from London. Masses to do. Will fish out a proper station ident image from the other account tomorrow, in the meantime here’s a pretty picture by Melyssa:

Brian Cox. I got to see footage from his first scene with Mr Willis in Toronto. They just locked a camera off on him and he did about five minutes of dialogue in a single take. This still seems to sum it up nicely.
Of course, as with much of the film, his character didn’t exist in the book. But Ivan Simanov does tie into the book’s themes: retired and distrusted by those who came after, and very much both the threat and the wreckage of the 20th Century.
Anyway, I’m posting this because they haven’t really released any of Mr Cox’s work on the film yet. And also, you know, vodka + knife + possible Russian Mafiya smoking jacket = good times tonight.

Someone just pointed me at this comment by Stana Katic on Twitter:
Re: confusion about ‘The Authority.’ By ‘looking into,’ I meant looking into READING the comic books. Was not cast or offered role in movie.

If Something Awful goons crew-rate a spacelaunch vehicle on August 31st I am going to laugh and laugh and drink and laugh some more and send Elon Musk a box of flaming turds and then laugh even more.
