Getting set up in the conference room at work for soldering class. I've never done a soldering course that met my expectations, so I'm going to teach one myself for our new staff.

My little camera actually works rather well as a ghetto microscope, allowing everyone to see demos very clearly.

I love how Cybermen follow the movie villains’ handbook to the letter, shouting β€œDestroy them at once!” here and yet having a lovely chat with the Doctor later on (You Only Live Twice is a particularly epic example of the trope: β€œKill! Bond! Now!”)

Trump is threatening to not sign any bills into law until the SAVE Act is approved by the Senate..

With the current make up of Congress and the crappy bills they pass, that's not really the threat he thinks it is.

Aesthetically this would’ve been a good fit, tho I’m unsure Elvira’s sense of humour would suit Burton as well as Pee-weeβ€˜s did

Every #MST3K forum or online group eventually devolves into a series of "Hey, this actor who was in a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode was also in another movie!"

β€œWhy We Must Put Our Faith in The Marshal To Save Solos”

β€œWhy We Must Put Our Faith in The Marshal To Save Solos” (Fake Daily Express headline)

The DW universe is so broad in scope that you could apply this to almost anything, but yeah, I agree. I’ve always thought The Mutants (1972) in particular fits right in there with Blake’s 7.

There’s a big treat in store for UK viewers tonight. As part of BBC4’s Ibsen season, they are showing the filmed 1959 play β€˜Brand’, which made Patrick McGoohan the toast of theatreland and set him on his way to above-the-title stardom. Tune in tonight at 11:50, or iPlayer.

Fargo - The three cent
YouTube video by Roman Snow (State of Bedlam) Fargo - The three cent

Fargo is 30.
Beggars belief that people think of the Coens as misanthropic & cold when they end a film as touchingly as this.
(But yes, they do think the world is full of very dumb, venal & greedy people but *gestures everywhere* they have a point)

From showrunner Dorothy Fontana to Lt. Uhura commanding the Enterprise (twice!), to the women behind the scenes at Filmation & fans like Bjo Trimble whose letter-writing campaign helped keep Star Trek goingβ€”the women of #StarTrekTAS made a lasting impact. #InternationalWomensDay

THE BRIDE! (2026) Dir. Maggie Gyllenhaal

I rarely talk about new releases but this one deserves attention. A bold messy genre bending act of cinematic provocation that swings big and refuses to play safe. It will divide viewers but the passion of a true film lover is everywhere. Buckley is a force🎞️

Explaining to a child that we're mortal and that death is inescapable is probably, for me, the hardest part of being a party clown.

If you hated the Hummer in the 1990s, you were right. And also well primed to hate the Tesla Cybertruck in the 2020s.

@suzyj.net and I discussing where our respective headspaces are at. Hers: Joy + belligerence, mine: Joy + melancholy. The main thing is (for both of us), is to feed β€˜joy’ sufficiently enough so that the other does not come to dominate.

Of two minds reading this, bc Mike Flanagan is a great filmmaker and I wish him all the best but three out these four already exist as *perfect* movies and wishing he could use his talents making things we haven’t seen already
