This film's classification says I need to be twelve to watch it. I'm not. So I guess I'm watching it illegally...

Stay Close, a series on Netflix that features Lindsay Armaou, will be available from 31 December!

The tumblr-style reblog(*) I did looks ok on Friendica, but not so much on Pleroma and Mastodon. There it's just a normal repeat or boost.

(*) essentially a quote share with the added text after the quoted post.

I suspect that one of these 110 Misskey servers reports 1234567890 users and the other 109 have 377 in total, or this is a very high, very coincidental number.

I'd do a tip saying that you can best run your washing machine in off hours since evening out energy usage is better for the environment and that always doing that is even better since predictability of energy usage is even more important, but I'm afraid someone would come by and cancels me for using a washing machine instead of doing the laundry with a washing board. Only for that person to be cancelled for doing any laundry at all, since it's best to just keep wearing your smelly clothes. So I won't. I'll leave this here, do with it whatever you want.

If by off hours you mean night, then I sure will cancel you for suggesting being noisy and interfering with my sleep. :)

Is watching the 1984 Ghostbusters movie killing people?

Recent data show death rate of 10-59yr olds who have watched the 1984 Ghostbuster Movie is 2x higher than those who have watched the 2021 Ghostbuster movie

I don't know how to explain this other than movie-caused mortality

This new circuit for #F1 seems too dangerous to hold a qualification session on. The race will likely be ok, but the speed differences and lack of visibility will cause a major accident if drivers doing in/out-laps are not keeping to a minimum speed. Which it seems they don't.

I don’t think the White House understands how much its weakness in the fight for democracy demoralizes a public that will have to find strength to fight for democracy after Biden is out of office and his staff is back at their big law firms and influence peddling consultancies.

Look what I came across: Rachael Leigh Cook and Tamara Mello in a photo that was a throwback even in 2016. Love them both! Neither of them age by the way, they still look like that. Drank some potion I guess.

Brought to you by me wondering why I never saw any Instagram post by Tamara anymore. Turns out she has at least four profiles that I can find and she's nowadays posting on one I wasn't following yet. Confirmed authentic since it's followed by her dog.

Nice of Twitter to give you 4280 characters per post.

Thanks to the ocr function of Samsung's s-pen. I wrote a lot of stuff as image description, forgot to copy it to the clipboard, then decided to do the poor-man's version of crossposting that is just manually making the other post.

I may have listened to Dove Cameron an 'evil' amount of times this year...

Spotify wrapped top 5 songs. 1 Evil - Dove Cameron, 2 LazyBaby - Dove Cameron, 3 Waste - Dove Cameron, 4 Bloodshot - Dove Cameron, 5 Space Between - Dove Cameron (and Sofia Carson)

I feel Dove Cameron is cheating here, appearing 4 times in my top 5 list of 7 artists.

Spotify 2021 wrapped top 5 artists. 1 Dove Cameron, 2 Vanessa Paradis, 3 Cast of Liv and Maddie (2x Dove on the cover), 4 Sofia Carson, 5 The Girl and the Dreamcatcher (Dove's band at the time)

Why is Mastodon always doing that, showing a 'preview of the hashtag' rather than the shared link?

Can you believe I never saw anything with Alicia Vikander in it? I'm going to watch Tomb Raider now. So I know nothing about whether she's a good actress (I suspect she is), but she looks ultra cool in the promo stills. The film also has the über cool Hannah John-Kamen in it.

I like this version of the Lara Croft character. I haven't seen the other film, but I like this take on her. Intelligent, obstinate, and dare I say it, realistic. At least personality-wise someone you believe could exist.

I agree. I thought this was a much more realistic and vulnerable portrayal of Lara than in other movies.

I'll pin this for a while: if you're not getting updates from this account but you should be, you can unfollow and follow again to fix it, or let me know and I can fix it in the db here. If you are however getting updates and shouldn't (this should not be happening, I was quite careful to check before fixing things), you can also let me know.

An issue in Friendica, fixed a while ago, had caused the following-state of some accounts to be out of sync between my server and other servers.

Rewatching Taxi Driver with Jodie Foster. She was 12 when she made this film, played a prostitute, had to be psychologically evaluated to check whether she would be capable of handling the subject matter, was formally not allowed to watch the film herself and got her first Oscar nomination. That's right, 12 and her first Oscar nomination.

Taxi Driver

A mentally unstable Vietnam War veteran works as a night-time taxi driver in New York City where the perceived decadence and sleaze feed his urge for violent action, attempting to save a preadolescent prostitute in the process.

The film is told from Travis' perspective, mostly, and since he's quite the racist, a lot that is said in the film is as well. Those are the perils of having a morally unjust character as pov.

It is left to the viewer to decide that he is morally unjust, though. In the end the film even portrays him as a hero.

I guess I need to figure out why my Wordpress no longer posts to Activitypub and why link previews of it are not working on Friendica, but are fine on Pleroma and Twitter.

Just watched Teen Spirit, where #ElleFanning rather brilliantly sings the songs herself. It follows a girl from a humble background entering one of those televised singing competitions 'streaming to 10 million viewers', where she's clearly talented enough but can she handle the limelight?

Rewatching On the Basis of Sex with #FelicityJones.

It contains the great line (paraphrased): we already hired a woman last month, what would we do with another one?

I quite dislike the anti-vaxx message in current Doctor Who (Flux), or at least that I read it that way.
