#as per wikipedia: #Miramax acquired American market distribution rights but delayed the release for nearly two years (...) #(...) Quentin Tarantino eventually convinced Miramax to open the film in American theaters on 27 August 2004. #hence why IIRC it's listed as 2004 in some places #hero 2002 #zhang yimou #hero #2002 #2000s film #2000s movies #screencaps #colors #cinematography

[Image ID: A traditional pen and colored pencil drawing of Suki and Sokka from Avatar: The Last Airbender dressed similarly to Spider-Man. Suki's outfit is black and green, with wide sleeves and pant legs cinched at the wrists and ankles, and with a gold spider on the front. She also wears a mask with a design like her Kyoshi warrior face paint and her Kyoshi headpiece. Sokka's outfit is blue, gray, and white, with a blue spider on the front. He wears a mask with a design like his face paint. /.End ID]

Happy March 1st (2nd now cause I fucked up and hit post limit yesterday)! Thus ends Wikipedia Swear Jar February with a grand total of 156 swears said on stream!

My initial estimate put this more at like $15 but I didn't really account for the fact that it would make me swear less... oh well, at least I have ideas for next year!

#streamer moment #I also really low-balled the price per swear just cause I truly had no idea how much I would swear #so I figured I would play it safe while I am a student with no real income #shout out to wikipedia. I love that website

[arctic-hands]

The subject came up today and I can't decide so I'm throwing it out there because I don't give a fuck and also having survived all of this kinda makes me sound like a badass

#my life sounds exciting here but between the exciting parts it's really quite boring #ages: #8. 9. 10? 16. 17. 18. 21 I think. 23. 27. still living #near death experience #also it may have been category one but Wikipedia described Isaias as devastating so there #i want to say it was the dogs because even as scary as the too-close tornado was I really felt like I was staring down death that moment #but also is that fair in the face of everything else I've survived? #fuck it why not set it for a week I'm curious about what other people think of my life #also that tornado was less than a block away but mostly stayed in the soy field. ripped off some of the roofing of the house tho #it was either EF0 or EF1 I forget but obvs I didn't know that while hunkering down #turns out tornadoes really DO sound like trains and the air gets a bit thin #or maybe I was just panicking lol #also when my heart nearly stopped I was forced to watch while unable to speak as they readied the shock paddles which. uh. wow #luckily (?) my heart shot back up to two hundred plus beats per minute #but I lived bitches. thru everything #mecore #i don't feel awkward asking about this bc I'm p sure I've talked about all of these at various points here

digging through the archives again & i've found another little press interview with robert shaw that i quite like. sticking it here for ease of access in the future :> from an article published in the los angeles times in february 1971, as transcribed below:

Most public people get terribly lofty about seeing their names in print (“Of course it used to matter . . .”). Robert Shaw, the English actor-author, is, bless his heart, honest enough to say it matters terribly. “My hand shakes when I pick up the Daily Express. And I will be comforted by reading someone else’s bad notices, I admit it. It gets worse all the time. Old Harold Pinter says my great vice is other people’s opinions.” Robert Shaw is subject to more reviews than most since he is both a writer (novels, plays, screenplays) and an actor English enough to play Henry VIII (in the film “A Man for All Seasons”), international enough to play Gen. Custer (in a movie) and Elmer Gantry (in a Broadway musical that lasted one night), and intelligent enough to play Pinter (“The Caretaker,” “The Birthday Party”). “I’ve been asked so often which I prefer, writing or acting, that I’ve started to answer seriously. I obviously prefer acting because the rewards are much more immediate. Writing is so lonely, such an agony. I’m an extroverted, confident person and I’m thrown into this pain . . .” Then why write? “I do wish for immortality—I don’t know why—but I do wish to be remembered.” Robert Shaw studied acting at RADA, a bleak and hateful experience, during which he was advised to give up. He spent his first eight years as a professional playing Shakespeare and had a rough time. “As a young man I had no charm, I was all agression [sic]. Richard Burton had enormous charm, he could get on with people. What an extraordinary life! When he went off to Hollywood, we all said, there goes the golden boy.” The turning point came with his first novel, “The Hiding Place” (1960). “From having been treated as a stupid actor—‘I find it hard to believe you wrote that,’ they’d say—I began to be treated as intelligent. Directors wanted me for television. And that’s where I became a working class actor. I’m not, I’m English middle class really, but I got into all these new plays. It was marvelous.” At present, Shaw has two plays coming up, neither of which will earn him a penny, he cheerfully notes: One is set in an American prison. The other, to be performed in London by the National Theater Company this spring, is called “Cato Street.” Shaw has based it on an actual attempt in the early 19th century to murder the entire British government. The plotters are betrayed and executed. “I hang them all on stage,” Shaw said with relish. “All eight or nine of them.” He hopes “Cato Street” will feature Laurence Olivier who, he feels, droops under some of his duties as head of the National Theater. “He asked me how many acts my play had. ‘Three,’ I said. “‘Couldn’t you make it two?’ he asked me. I said why? “‘Because,’ he said; ‘then I’d only have to have one drink with the governors.’”

#the gantry play was literally just called gantry - and it did only go for one night. it was a musical! charming to imagine him singing! #i wish i knew what american prison play was being referenced though :/ it's not included in his written works on wikipedia #i have the good sense that there are at least a handful of his works that have since been lost to the depths of the archives #if not vanished entirely #he wrote poetry when he was younger (as per the little author bio in my copy of the hiding place) #which i would LOVE to read. but it was published under pseudonyms #and i. don't know what those pseudonyms were. much less if any of that poetry has survived til now :// #robert shaw #long post

The United States is a country by, for, and of scammers, but few have enjoyed the success of whatever Reagan-era piss kinkster was behind the push for mandatory drug testing as a condition of employment

#per wikipedia on 03/10/1986 the Commission on Organized Crime asked all U.S. companies to test employees for drug use #scratch any stupid and pointless source of misery in this country and the reagan administration bleeds #anyway I have to take more time out of my life to go attempt the test again at another lab bc the one I went to today was rude & impatient #like sorry you were so impatient to handle my urine and got an attitude bc I can't point and shoot. Go to therapy. Get well soon.

ur telling me all i had to do to find the 4:3 cut of the 86 moive was to. just check an animesite instead of a moviesite. THIS WHOLE TIME????

[ID: Comparisions of the 86 transformers movie from the 16:9 crop and the 4:3 orginal. Images 1 and 2 are the 16:9. 3 and 4 are 4:3. 1 and 3 are grimlock curled up on the space ship console. In 16:9 he's cramped into frame, cutting off the edge of his hunched back and touching the edge of his snout. Were as 4:3 has a bit more space around. 2 and 4 of Kup and Hot Rot in the pilots seats, Kup pushing Grimlock away. The screencap time is a bit off but its the same scene. 4:3 is admitedly a lot of blank space above all their heads, but 16:9 also crops out a bit of Hot Rod's arm. END

yes obviously these are the only images i have on hand for comparison. im SURE theres maybe. better. more actiony shots to use. but ur getting the dino. this MAKES it look like theres a colour difference but im pretty sure its just circumstanial [Screenshot method/device... the fact that there are constant flashbangs in this scene. etc]

#some shit #its not called cisformers #IM ENRAGED. well actually frame it positive im DELIGHTED. #but how am i supposed to know which freaks [affection] are gonna have my back so i can get the Maximum amount of tf per frame?? #i mean. sure YES ofc. anime fans ARE like that. but so are tf fans. so. #AND IM LIKE THAT. so. obviously. #i wasnt even LOOKING. #i was looking for fucking [squinting at list of tf cartoons wikipedia page i have open at all times] #b east wars ii?? yeah okay. i was looking for that.
