Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

I didn't think it was, but I'm glad it's been confirmed.

Spoke to a promising rural high school student today about the prospect of going to University and they were straight up:
'I can't afford it.'
'The fees? Or living out of home?'
'Both.'
It's been a remarkable, bipartisan effort to destroy the pathways people like me took into tertiary study.

Vile statement from Australian PM Albanese: "My mother would have said if you make your bed, you lie in it,"

Vile statement from Australian PM Albanese: "My mother would have said if you make your bed, you lie in it,"

It's normal to feel a range of ugly emotions when looking at the actions of Australian PMs, but I've never had the utter contempt that I have for the words & actions of Albanese. A pitiful, utterly wretched individual, nursing his secret hatred of women & virtue-signalling his sadism.

I don't think it would spoil anything without the context of the show. The one thing I forgot about canon was the truth about Sisko's mother that is mentioned on SFA, but I think by the time any SFA viewer got to S7, they probably wouldn't remember that. There's so much to discover on DS9.

30 years in, The Silence Of The Lambsโ€™ Jame Gumb still deserves better 30 years in, The Silence Of The Lambsโ€™ Jame Gumb still deserves better

Almost 5 years to the day after I wrote this article, Ted Levine outwardly addressed how transphobic Silence of the Lambs and his character of Buffalo Bill truly is.

Welcome to the party, pal.

I respect the film industry and love working with directors and actors. So no.

A mini PC that I buy at work (in my day job for an AV installer) has jumped in price by 50% in three months because of this memory chip shortage.

Here's a photo of the late Robert Duvall wearing cue cards on his body so that co-star Marlon Brando could see his lines during the filming of The Godfather.

Negative: freezing!
0 to 10: Cold!
10 to 20: Mild!
20 to 30: Pleasant!
Above 30: hot!

The American mind cannot comprehend this.

Imagine even having a day to celebrate your Head of State. Oh wait, we have the King's Birthday holiday. Never mind.

Remember Agent Cooper in Twin Peaks sending Audrey home??? That remains a refreshingly kind and decent scene that we see shockingly rarely in media of any kind, then and now. Like, Jesus, be an adult and read the room re: the impact and consequences.

The arguments really are just vibes based, because there is no world where 32 makes more sense unless it's the only thing you're used to. (America: defending itself against the metric system because Imperial *feels better*)

Truly, the argument that 0-100F makes the most sense because that's the top and bottom of general human experience is so US-centric it drives me crazy. (Also, if you love 0-100 so much, try the metric system! 0-100 everywhere!)

Americans shut the fuck up about Farenheit being more "useful" challenge. I get that you understand it but to the rest of the world, it's completely incoherent.

Yeah, it was too early but given the unpredictability of TV these days, I think Tawny wanted to get it done when she had the chance! And it was such a great story for Sam.
