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.

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.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

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



"Make sure your photos show your personality!"

They do and that's the problem.



The blu-ray for Volition has arrived! This is a film with Magda Apanowicz and has only just been released (not counting geo-blocked streaming services). Watching now.

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.

The seduction at the beginning of the film is so sleazy and the character of the woman so empty...
in reply to Gidi Kroon

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.

Jenna Ortega: what’s in the pipeline?

While Jenna Ortega is making magic in Romania (filming Wednesday) I thought it a good moment to make a list from a fan's perspective of what is in the pipeline. Much to look forward to!

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?

in reply to Gidi Kroon

Each time I say 'watching film X with actress Y' I am fantasising watching it with that actress...





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.

I've got all three seasons of Mary Kills People on dvd now, so I'm (re-)watching it to get my Katie Douglas fix. Just started season three. So great to see her.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

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


I dislike profile questions like "What is the current goal in your life?". The current goal in my life? Working towards making dinner. I'm posting this now here, so you can guess how well that's going.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

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





I feel sick. What do you even do when the country's legal system openly declares that white people can kill whoever they want?

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.

Some more Jodie Foster history, here in gangster musical comedy Bugsy Malone. Watching it now. (I'm also interested in finding her more current films of course) #JodieFoster #BugsyMalone

Forgot the image description: it's a photo of the rather plain cover of the blu-ray.
in reply to Gidi Kroon

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.

Two whole galleries have arrived! They are 'gallery in a box' by Lora Zombie, chock-full of beautiful mini prints by this great artist. Ideal for people like me who can't choose what print to buy.

I've been a fan of Stephanie Leonidas for a long time. Her major projects are Mirrormask, Crusade in Jeans, Luna, Atlantis, Defiance, Snatch and American Gothic. More recently she was in S7 of Endeavour and I'm watching the dvd now.
