fine, damn 😩 When the movie was still in early production, we all had the opportunity to pitch different versions of Jinu and Rumi’s date. I wanted them to have a classic aquarium one and even wrote little lines 😅😅 it was such a fun exercise! #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS #rujinu #JINUMI https://t.co/uO6oJCuW8l pic.twitter.com/vEYuts8RHV

I will share more later this week, but one of my favorite assignments on #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS was to design ancient hunters! We did a lot of research on Korean historical fashion and I hope we did it justice 💜 https://t.co/rlu80Rxvdd pic.twitter.com/rScRpYEH1y

i’ve gotten a lot of questions on inspirations for Saja boys, so look! our director @maggiemkang answered a lot of them here 😚https://t.co/eU1kRWy3mq

— Marion 🖍 (@galaxyspeaking) June 21, 2025

("The Saja Boys, comprising members Jinu (Ahn Hyo-seop), Abby, Mystery, Romance, and Baby, were inspired by Korean groups such as Tomorrow X Together, BTS, Stray Kids, ATEEZ, BIGBANG, and Monsta X. There’s always a muscular one who shows off their abs; one who was the romantic type (“I purposely gave him these bangs that were meant to be heart-shaped”); and, the baby of the group.")

("For some of the songs, we did as many iterations, or close to, as on storyboards because you had to. Some of the story keeps changing and we needed some of the lyrics to be a little different, and when you do that the rhythm of it could change. I don’t know if the songwriters were told that from the start. Some of them were like, “What? That’s not how we work in pop music!” But we do an animation!") ("We worked really hard to create mouth shapes and eye shapes that were very Korean. So even though the girls are speaking in English, they were mouth shapes that you would only make as a Korean person, with our Korean language. ")

Netflix needs to make a series about the murder of the billionaire that wanted to produce The Three-Body Problem Netflix series

I didn’t make this up, I had ChatGPT summarize a Chinese article on this, but here is the English coverage. And yeah Xu was sentenced just a week ago, on 3/22 in China pretty much at the same time as the 3/21 premiere in US. Justice finally. RIPhttps://t.co/ExWS9GMHfs

I renewed Netflix for a month and here's what I enjoyed

In the order I watched:

Glass Onion: The first half has terrific fashion and propulsive energy. (This is a good review.)

Margin Call: Excellent drama about 24 hours in the mortgage crisis financial collapse...once you get past the propagandist view of traders as gorgeous, smart, well-spoken, polite, rational, caring, etc etc. 99% of the speaking roles are white, too

The Viewing (Cabinet of Curiosities): An eclectic group of experts is summoned to a wealthy recluse's estate to help him explain a great mystery. Basically an enjoyable hour of ominous synthwave that'll melt your face off

The Fable: A John Wick-style assassin with a heart of gold and no basic social skills has been so successful that he must lay low for a year, and ends up doing so in a town absolutely overflowing with killers. Does a good job mixing screwball comedy with satisfying gun-fu. Netflix has the sequel, too.

His House: Solid haunted house horror about a traumatized and instantly likable young couple of war refugees that made it to England only to realize they were followed by a lot of tormented ghosts 

Emily the Criminal: Terrific, relentless thriller about low level crime (think Uncut Gems or Drive), but should have ended at the bus stop. (Between Aubrey Plaza in this, and Amber Midthunder in Prey, maybe Legion can get some retroactive attention?)

Hail, Caesar: OK, this I'd seen once before, but many years ago. It's great! So many actors turning in gems of performances with so little time on film.

*Immortality: Froze constantly on the two devices I tried it on, and as far as I could tell, didn't properly support controllers, using awkward touch controls instead (many PC reviewers described using a controller as vital to fully enjoy the game). Reviews in the appstore indicate my experience was common.

*The Bad Guys: Seemed perfectly competent from the amount I watched. Good design on the hacker:

Insight Editions is selling a pricey limited-edition replica Pinocchio maquette based on the Guillermo del Toro movie

Comes with book and case:

The artbook for a Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is free online

Not available for download as far as I could tell, but the individual pages are jpegs. (Amazon has the hardcover.)

Love this design:

Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio deserves good toys, and so far the Mego ones look the best

Briefly out of stock, Geppetto, Pinocchio, and Cricket set of Mego figures up for preorder at Amazon (why doesn't Hot Toys ever make stop motion toys?):

Amazon is currently offering a $10 off coupon on the art book. These designs that deserve great toys:
