Al Overview Willem Dafoe is not in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but he has appeared in other Star Wars films, including The Last Temptation of Christ (1988).

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

A meme with a bunch of drawings of people with Samus Aran arm cannons with the trans flags that says “Repost this is trans people should have Samus Arm Cannons.”

I'll be streaming the amazing Gloomwood again in about half an hour, at 1:00pm Pacific. This game is excellent and I would be delighted if you could swing by and join us! ☺️

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

When I was a kid, Bond villains seemed wildly silly - outlandish obsessions, surrounded by the oddest people, stupid gaudy homes, Spam-like complexions, fort knox obsessed, isolated, inward-looking, assumptions about the human race entirely wrong. Current world villains proving Fleming conservative

A collection of stickers. One is based on the sign for the Vancouver Dude Chilling Park and says "Did Chill the Fuck Out." Another says TEAM TRASH and depicts a rat and possum and raccoon around a bin. The third is the tarot card for The Hermit and depicts a cat in a box next to a lantern, with a crescent moon visible out the window behind.

Happy three days of Pride from Vancouver. 🏳️‍🌈 I bought so many things and was in two marches and saw one parade and ate three ice creams and forgot to take pictures and so many people flirted with me and here's just a few things I acquired and we need to be doing celebrations like this so much more.

I'm once again streaming the wonderful, atmospheric pseudoVictorian Thief-a-like GLOOMWOOD at 1pm Pacific time today. Come along and watch me try to sneak up on weird guards and then lose a fight to a rat.

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

I still remember the first time I saw this episode and I was absolutely floored.

A wide arch in a large building, with old fashioned street lamps to either side, and a lamp hanging in the centre of the arch. This creates a cone of light on a darkened street with a shadow apparently belonging to a lone figure walking towards the camera through the arch.

How dare Michael Mann and Dante Spinotti sneak such an iconic European-Gothic-looking shot into the largely bright and sunny Manhunter.

For me, one of the greatest films of the 80s.

It goes very fast.

This is a GREAT reference for guidance and negotiation. Sharing it along for anyone else who didn't know this existed!

Thiiiis. I'm reading a book about burnout rn and so much that we know about burnout feels severely understated and often overlooked, when burnout is incredibly hard to avoid in this day and age. We have so much thrown at us and so much telling us we always have to be moving, always be productive.

Film review by Jorge Luis Borges of KING KONG (1933): King Kong: A monkey fourteen meters high (some of his fans say fifteen) is obviously charming, but perhaps that is not enough. This monkey is not full of juice; he is a dried out and dusty contraption with angular, clumsy movements. His only virtue-his height-seems not to have greatly impressed the photographer, who persists in not shooting him from below but from above, a plainly mistaken angle that invalidates and annuls his tallness. It should be added that he is hunchbacked and bowlegged, features that also shorten him. To ensure that there is nothing extraordinary about him, they make him fight monsters far stranger than he and find him lodgings in fake caverns the size of a cathedral, where his hard-won stature is lost. A carnal or romantic love for Miss Fay Wray brings to perfection the ruin of this gorilla and of the film as well.
