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 seduction at the beginning of the film is so sleazy and the character of the woman so empty...

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?

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

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

Season three is even better than the first two. Though Katie's role is still somewhat small, it's deeper and more heartfelt.

It starts with awareness, so that's good. Also, I have already selected potatoes to peel, so first steps going well. They are the same as yesterday when I eventually put them back and boiled rice instead.

a popular myth is that people who are Very Computer have computers that work. nothing could be further from the truth. the Very Computer are capable of generating much more novel and fascinating ways to make computers not fucking work and exercise this capability wantonly

Staples to be reshaped as pyramids.

Thinking about how Jodie Foster in 1976(*), when she was 12/13yo, made four films. In one she played a prostitute (Taxi Driver), in another her character was all about seducing the male character (Bugsy Malone) and in a third her 13yo character has a sexual relationship with a 19yo boy (The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane). I haven't seen the fourth (Echoes of a Summer). What is a girl to make of that growing up? Luckily hyper smart Jodie seems to have been above all that.
#JodieFoster

(*) this is the release year. The films were made in 1975 and with Jodie's birthday in November 1962, that explains the age.

I feel a bit for Florrie Dugger (now Florence Garland) who as Blousey played a much bigger part than Jodie's Tallulah, but she's never shown anywhere on dvd covers and the like. I guess that's the difference between having only one acting credit in imdb vs a double academy winner. She plays Blousey really well though and I think Blousey makes the film.

Why do so many people on dating apps say they are awake and therefore not vaccinated? I think that when you are asleep it would be difficult to go to the vaccination centre and get the shot, but once you've woken up I don't see the problem.
