Photo of Wednesday Addams with the caption: “I know I’m stubborn, single-minded, and obsessive. But those are all traits of great writers. Yes, and serial killers — what’s your point?”

#wednesdaythought

While with the success of Wednesday on Netflix a go-ahead for season two seems only natural, here are my completely uninformed thoughts about it: it has become clear that there can't be a Wednesday season two or any offshoot of the Addams Family universe in film, without Jenna Ortega. She's been so much the center of the success. And if I were Jenna, which I'm not, I'd want in this case to see scripts before committing. So chicken and egg... Maybe a series of independent Wednesday films are most likely.

Scream VI, I guess that will be the name, will come out 10 March 2023. Here is the teaser trailer released today. Some glimpses of Jenna. I'm hoping for a significant opportunity for her to flesh out her character, Tara.

The list of sites that were offline was growing and growing. Whatever major site I checked could be added to the list. So much so that I was forced to conclude that it was my own wifi that was wrong. And it was.

In its third week, Wednesday has already crossed 1 billion hours viewed and climbed into the #2 spot on the English TV Most Popular List!

It has not even been three weeks. I like their Instagram caption:

Currently the trakt.tv site is down due to a database crash and they are recovering from a backup. They say on twitter it's going slow due to the size of the database. I can imagine that. How slow you can see from the fact that it's already getting to two days.

So this is your reminder, also to myself, to think about your recovery strategy. Just making backups is not enough. Also, backups are a last resort because the data transfer for the restore takes so long. If you want to be online again quickly, redundant/shadow servers and/or snapshots are a must.

@Frg-Tech Sounds like they will have one of these 'what did we learn from this' sessions after all is done.

LoL, indeed.

I just saw that the backup is from Nov 7th. Guh!

Of course I had just spent something in the order of 5 hours the week prior to the crash sorting out my watch history. Being new, I was making the mistake of adding prior watched items to my current timeline, vs when it was released. This might be entirely my fault 😜

Jenna Ortega and her series Wednesday have both been nominated for the Golden Globes!

I'm realising that not only the infinite-scroll is a addiction-inducing tactic of social media, but stories are as well. In the sense of the posts that stay up for only 1 day, so you can't have a few days away from a platform without missing news of people you care about.

Nice to see how everyone is having so much fun and is so relaxed on the Wednesday set. Seems to be a good place with good people. Not so nice to see Emma getting that flashlight straight in her face, I guess that did hurt...

Enjoy the FULL Wednesday blooper reel.

You're welcome.


Watching Sophie Rundle and Suranne Jones in Gentleman Jack as Ann Walker and Anne Lister, inspired by the diaries of the real Anne Lister. There is no Jack in the series... I'm watching series one on HBO Max since I've already seen series two. It's set in victorian times and shows Anne Lister doing everything male landowners did in these times, including marrying a woman, the other Ann. I find I can not celebrate her too much, since she's also doing all the negative things men of that time and class did. E.g. to me she seems to have no empathy towards servants and women.

There's so much manipulation and gaslighting by Anne Lister of Ann Walker, it's hard to describe it as a love story between the two women, which on the outside this series may suggest.

Anne is saying literally the things that in other series the sleazy male characters would say.

The Netflix show Wednesday made sure everybody now knows the talent of Jenna Ortega. Her followers on Instagram went from 8 million to over 26 million. So I'm wondering whether the director of Songbird already regrets cutting out her scenes.

I had todays framed.wtf in one go, I'm so proud. May rewatch that film (and not mention it before the day is over), I like it so much.

Eating my dinner around dinner time. How new.

Just came across this performance on YouTube. This really was the music of my youth. I may have initially at high school started with liking Sting, The Dire Straits, The Smiths, but I quickly saw the light and it became all female (fronted) music for me: The Throwing Muses, The Sundays and definitely Mazzy Star. Here's the latter on a Dutch radio show doing Flowers in December. 26 years ago... I have all their CDs of the time and I also have their more recent albums as well as Hope Sandoval's solo albums from iTunes.

A rarely well-lit performance. Usually the recordings of their stage appearances were very dark where you could hardly see the people. The albums also didn't have her on the cover and the liner notes photos were very vague. They really wanted to keep her face out of the impression you had of the band and to let the music speak for itself.

There is a thing in the music industry where if a woman is good-looking, especially very good-looking, her music can't be taken seriously.

What I didn't like about yesterday's football world cup match between the Netherlands and Argentina was the ice hockey(*) attitude of it.

(*) my stereotypical ideas of ice hockey, I don't actually know the game itself.

Maybe when explaining the fediverse to new people, or outsiders, or journalists, we shouldn't focus on explaining multiple servers so much. What it is, is social media like twitter but run by volunteers. I think that's the important distinguishing part.

Then when they ask how it's organised, who's in charge and stuff like that, who sets the rules, then we can say volunteers can setup their own servers with their own rules. Only when they wonder stuff like that, this server thing becomes interesting. Until then, it's just details.

Why is liquorice something you always need to eat more of?

I'm sad to read that my country was one of those voting to exclude Romania and Bulgaria. Especially since it was over a supposed migration issue.

Jenna Ortega reveals her five favorite Wednesday costumes


Gidi Kroon reshared this.

You would expect PeerTube, being a video server, to be the heaviest server I run. But it's one of the lightest. The reason is that the difficult bit, playing the video, is 'totally not my problem'. Playing is done in the webbrowser of the visitor. Streaming the content is done by the object storage and cdn. None of which is on my server.

Interesting when someone posts an article link where the content covers more than the title suggests, most replies to the post reveal that people didn't read the article.

Since HBO Max has not put His Dark Materials series 3 online yet, despite it being 5 December already, here's a Dafne Keen interview about s3 in W to pass the time.

I've found that Jenna Ortega's film The Fallout is called "The Life After" in some regions. This has not yet resulted in me finding an available blu-ray or dvd, however. In the US a dvd (not blu-ray) is available under its normal name and the film is on HBO Max wherever HBO Max is.

@NetflixUK We’re concerned with how little she blinks
@NetflixUK

Volleyball balls are more expensive than I would expect. Proper match balls are €75 - €65. A piece. Even cheaper versions are €50. Considering how many balls are used by even an average club, that's a lot of capital tied up in that.

This 'Mastodon is difficult to understand' is the new 'VCRs are difficult to program', i.e. a way to separate the fashionable people from the nerds. I'm the latter.

Finished watching series two of His Dark Materials, excited for series three tomorrow. I hope it explains the confusion I had with the way story arcs were wrapped up at the end of the second series, especially around Will's father. And in fact Lyra's. And I hope Lyra will become important again, which seemed to go away in that series. I haven't read the books, so I don't know.

Episode 5 of The Sandman, "24/7", is actually quite good, mainly because it's not at all like the episodes that came before it. It's featuring different characters and has a different concept.

The good thing about holding back from properly cleaning the table after spilling a drink over it is that if you spill another drink in the same day you don't feel that bad about it. Currently debating whether to wait for the third one.

People doing group think is bad, worse when this group think is that they are somehow victims.

Americans selecting entertainment things that were great in a year that was my youth, using American lists, always has me thinking I don't know any of these.

His Dark Materials series three gets released on HBO Max this Monday, 5 December. It'll be later in December on the BBC. I'm rewatching series one and two because it is so good and Dafne Keen is such a good actress. I'm at 1x07 now.

A good director will know that if you have a good actress you can just let a scene play out by having a continuous close-up of her face and you don't actually need to see the scene itself. I've seen that done with great effect several times, as it is here with Dafne Keen.

The first time I was aware of this choice of shot was long ago when Emilia Fox was an unknown actress, two super famous actors were doing a scene and her character had no lines or involvement in that scene. Yet the director realised her talent over those super famous people and had the camera just on her face this whole long scene. It was very powerful. And a very courageous thing to do for the director, given the difference in industry standing. (I think it's in the director's handbook under what to do if your two stars have an off day and the new girl is very talented)

Only one day left for the rewatch. Series two has only seven episodes, though. I still haven't heard the explanation why the BBC suddenly cancelled one of the eight episodes (was it after filming, or just before). It made the ending of series two a bit weird.
