El octavo día de la creación.
Sometimes I think that without the first Blade movie and Dark City (1998), there would have been no Matrix as we know it. It wouldn't have been a thing.
Paprika (パプリカ) by Satoshi Kon.
Based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Japanese author Yasutaka Tsutsui.
At once playful and nightmarish. Incredibly prophetic. Prefigures our modern virtual world.
A feast for the eyes.
Satanism and Witchcraft: The Classic Study of Medieval Superstition by Jules Michelet.
Originally published in Paris as "La Sorcière ("The Sorceress"): The Witch of the Middle Ages" in 1862.
A turning point on the 19th century politics and perception surrounding witchcraft.
“Our tour begins here in this gallery, here where you see paintings of some of our guests as they appeared in their corruptible mortal state. Kindly step all the way in, please, and make room for everyone. There’s no turning back now.”- Ghost Host

"The Killing Machine!!"
The Red Turtle (French: La Tortue Rouge; Japanese: レッドタートル ある島の物語) by Michaël Dudok de Wit.
One of the most beautiful animated films.
A story about the circle of life and all its splendor and benign brutality. It's a masterpiece. Sublime animation and a deep meditation about life, love and man's place in the natural world.
The main character faces mysteries that elude him, but eventually surrenders to love, life and his place in the universe. This film is a poem.
Deathbird Stories: A Pantheon of Modern Gods by Harlan Ellison.
Ellison is a controversial figure, for sure. Despite this, I think he's a fine, one-two punch wordsmith.
The Eternals (Volume 1) #11.
"The Russians are Coming!"
"Neanderthal" by Frank Frazetta.
20s. A young tachrán who has dedicated his life to becoming a filmmaker and comic artist/writer. This website is a mystery to me...
