browsing the website for the hobby store i buy most of my gundams from to see if they have gundam markers and they don't but they do have a shitload of warhammer and other model-related stuff including paints with some of the most unhinged names I've ever heard
I love Apollo 8 because not only was it like a monumental human achievement to orbit the moon but also they took like 800 photos and they’re all absolutely stunning
“Why do you like the Tormented so much” because this is how the protagonist dies at the end
The ghost at half opacity. The bag of loose onions thrown over the side of the set to simulate a human man. The child actor who reacts to the guy launching himself off the lighthouse with the same expression you might give when you see a garter snake in the yard. Incredible. This is the level of stupid I am looking for.
Here it is. The original line. “I’m an artist, you know, subject to moods.” From the end of the season 1 episode The Black Scorpion, where a viewer had written a long, heartfelt letter to Crow giving him both praise and criticism. Amazing.
I love what Vane and Rackham have. Rackham is Vane’s chihuahua. He’s his purse dog. He’s a miniature poodle with nails painted pink owned by a grizzled biker with a leather vest who he brings to every biker gang meeting because “wherever I go, he goes”
Almost all the doctors regenerated in wild ways but we don’t talk enough about the fact in the TV movie the 7th doctor regenerated into the 8th because he got caught in a gang war in San Francisco and got fucking shot and the actual hospital doctors couldn’t figure out how to save him cause they didn’t know he was an alien and had two hearts and they fuck up the surgery so bad he dies. That’s the real inciting incident in the movie. And the plot only gets more confusing from there.
Ok so yes the eclipse is on Monday so get ready with eclipse safety/info now
Do not look directly at the sun without specialized eclipse glasses. Yes, I know you want to. You will just burn your eyes.
If you are in the path of totality, and at the part where it makes the sky dark, you are less likely to damage your eyes, but you still run the risk because you are looking at the sun. Just try not to look at the sun at all without protection.
If you are not in the path of totality, do not look directly at the sun without eclipse glasses. Even if it’s mostly covered. You’re not gonna see anything and you’re just gonna fuck up your eyes.
Colleges, museums, and other local places often will have events for eclipses. They will often have eclipse glasses for you. If they do not, they will likely have some other safe method of viewing it like sun telescopes.
If you do not have access to any of these, still do not look at the sun. What you can do is make a pinhole in a sheet of paper, angle it at the sun, and it should project an image of the eclipsing sun on a flat surface. This can also be accomplished with making a small hole with your hand, or by looking at the shadows from tree leaves.
Here is a picture from the 2023 eclipse I took of the projection through the trees:
NASA will also be broadcasting coverage of the eclipse on their free online streaming service if you want to really get in the vibe.
Just don’t look at the sun guys. Guys. If you’re gonna trust anyone on this trust me. Don’t look directly at the sun without protection.
If you really wanna see the adventures of cosplayers in the wild, visit the Dunkin’ Donuts just outside the Hynes convention center during anime Boston (or really any of the stores around there but the dunks is where you get The Vibe). Watch as a line forms consisting of Sephiroth, a furry, the fourth doctor, and hatsune miku. Feel the childlike wonder of watching someone dressed as Kakashi from accounting slip the straw for their iced caramel mocha under their mask. Hear the guy from Jujutsu Kaisen order a “regulah.” God is real and he lives in the Hynes Dunkin’ Donuts during anime Boston weekend.
It's here everyone, the much-awaited (by me) Stop Making Sense dvd rip. I will rip the vhs tape once I have the time to fiddle with it but the dvd is easier to do lol so here. For your viewing pleasure. Also if there's any French subtitles that accidentally made it onto the rip (i don't think they're on there but i didn't skim the whole thing) what can I say it's a mysterious French dvd of the movie I got off eBay. Also no it's not the 4k a24 version they aint put that one out on video yet that's why I got this one. I will say this version is at least a higher quality than the pirated versions I found online so that is by all means a benefit.
Now you too can develop the mental illness known as talking heads fan. Stream Slippery People (Live).
A gift for all y'all, here's a pdf of the Re-Animator script, as included in the reanimator dvd box set I have. It's as close as we're gonna get to the late great Mr Stuart Gordon's original unhinged vision for the movie. Feel free to download it if you want I'm just here to host it.
I always enjoy flipping through a film script lmao esp when it's fucked up
