Fuck My Unemployment Emo:

Have some links:

On the 10th anniversary of Gene Siskel's death, Ebert's memorial. Beyond touching.

Outtakes from a proposed Last Unicorn Graphic Novel. Absolutely gorgeous. Not sure how I feel about aping the character designs from the movie, although it is beloved so it's probably a savvy move. I hope the rumors are true and someone picks up the license again.

Twitter connects two guys with Shaq. At a diner! They show up and he pays for their meal. It's a really great story.

Now: I could watch Wall-E, or I could start with the collected work of Derek Jarman...

Derek Jarman. Here, I'll help you get started:

Okay. I'm starting with Caravaggio. Jubilee is still downloading, and I also have Edward II. The other day I watched his last interview with Channel 4 on Face to Face. I can get Blue too, but I have yet to find a copy of Sebastian out there.

This video is everything you ever wanted a Pet Shop Boys video to have in it. Seriously.

Somewhere around here I've got his script for Wittgenstein.

I swear, gay men in the eighties and Catholic iconography.

Someone needs to write a fan script combining the Derek Jarman script for Jubilee with the Big Finish script for Doctor Who: Jubilee.

EX-CO-MUNICAAATE!!!

Young Derek Jarman and the Doctor fight Catholic Daleks infiltrating the Vatican. Involving the real truth of what happened to poor Pope John Paul the First.

It's a musical. Of course.

That video is fantastic. Have you seen his Smiths videos? They're the only good Smiths videos ever made, and the Queen is Dead one is a classic.

Also, I'd recommend the Tariq Ali interview on the Wittgenstein DVD, but that's mostly just because it's Tariq Ali. If nothing else Jarman hung out with good people.

Not sure I would've been into James Owen drawing Last Unicorn. I love his stuff, but it just isn't "pretty" or delicate enough for me. Mike Kaluta would've been awesome though.

I'm also meh on Owen's horse faces ( or faces in general). I would've thought he'd have to anthropomorphize the unicorn a bit more, and it just seems expressionless to me. Yeah, guiltily glad this didn't happen.

OMG OMG I know who I want to draw this- Linda Medley (Castle Waiting)!

WOULD BE AWESOME.

I never saw any of the Kaluta sketches, which is a shame. Eh, it would have been good, though, because I like the sense of color and the layout of these panels.
