London. I make The Lost Cat Podcast, I make music, I make movies, I post a lot of nerdy shit about these sorts of things. All typos are to prove I am not AI. thank you. apclarke.studio

Oh god The Odyssey is SO woke, Helen Of Kenya amirite, block buying tickets to make it look successful (fraud), the helmets look bad and and and god I dunno something about Elliot Page anyway that's the joke it's the gift of a horse but it secretly contains Odyssey discourse OK i'm tired now.
a screenshot from 'framed', showing a frame from a mystery movie. It's from Jurassic Park: Dominion (spoilers) and it's a really flat dull shot of three people standing in front of a dull wall all very flatly lit like its a tv show from the 90s.
A fish with a man's head and if you don't know it's better you don't.
Poster for Europa Universalis IV titled 'chambers empty chief'
Bugs Bunny as a girl
Principle Skinner, the great truth-speaking hero of our times, asking 'Am I a big horror wuss now?', and concluding 'No, it's the French who are wrong.'

"Even the greatest works, made at the highest level, are still made by humans, with plenty of human mistakes, held together by sticky tape. It's OK. It's really OK. Just go for it."
Shot from 'That Day, On The Beach'. A beach, it looks like a watercolour, full and inviting.

Photo of an 80s video store with no snacks. Posters of Gremlins and St Elmo's Fire on wall.
Shot from War Games (still good, my bros) in which the AI says 'A strange game. The only winning move is not to play'. The AI is talking about global thermonuclear war, and i'm talking about * checks notes for whatever the fuck it is today * fantasy books aimed at men, but the effect is much the same. Discourse is global thermonuclear war for the soul - takes up all your attention so you can't think about anything else, fills you with dread, despair, anger and a deep suspicion of your neighbour, and causes only destruction in every direction. Probably I should stop writing, but holy hell you can have 2000 characters in these alt texts? That's CRAZY. This character count is obviously a CONSPIRACY by the communist fascist aliens to make us feel like we are never doing enough. Yep, that's it. I watched Robocop 2 last night and I ate spaghetti for breakfast. The film was rubbish but the food was great. OK, that's enough.

It’s Puss in Boots getting blowy, ok? He’s looking very post orgasmic, and he’s got his hand on the top of a little dog’s head as it is positioned right by the cat’s crotch. Man, I feel dirty even describing this but it is in the movie Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which was released by Universal Pictures in 2022.

British pedestrian crossing made of thick white painted stripes on the tarmac. On it has been spray painted red lines to make it a St George’s flag. Over THAT has been spray painted white in an attempt to erase the red. Mixed results.
