#NowWatching Christina Ricci in The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, the tv series that came after the film. I'd seen the film a while ago. Of course I have to see everything with Christina in it, still quite some to go...

Conversion still ongoing, I have a slow computer, but I can already play episode 1. Of course next to Christina Ricci there's also Clea DuVall, that's great! Starts off with lots of axe-work and chasing a load of kids away with a single raised eyebrow. This is going to be good.

I'm an idiot, mixed up Clea DuVall's name with someone else (also great). Edited the post.

Starting to watch The Princess, knowing nothing about it except that the film has Joey King in it and that she looks utterly cool on the poster wielding a sword. All good reasons to watch it.

Yeah, I think they lied to us about what Disney princesses are like. Or this one is different...

It's essentially one long, raw, no holds barred fight sequence. I like that it doesn't fall into the trap of having the female lead use cunning to stay out of the fighting, or do the fighting in some clean distant way with bow and arrow, as is common in films. Instead, she's fully in the thick of it, going all in. I like it. Joey King also executive produced this film.

Bought a Wacon drawing tablet today. After some deliberations I went for the cheaper model that is advised for beginner's, since, well, I don't know what I'm doing. But the more expensive models were so much better... and so much more expensive...

I already notice that I've really got to get used to the absolute positioning. I keep using it as a touch pad!

I also realised that in a sense, I already have two other Wacom devices: both my phone (Samsung Note8) and tablet (Samsung Tab S4) have an s-pen, which is the same thing. Especially the Tab S4, using the Pen-Up app, is showing features of the more expensive Wacom models: pressure sensitive, multi touch, tilt(!), and of course its own display...

The Scream VI trailer is out! It looks great. Nice detail is that unlike the previous one where they suggested Tara (Jenna Ortega's character) was the opening kill, here we see her in multiple outfits, so she is in the film for a while. Not so nice is that there is a clip of Tara in trouble that she maybe doesn't survive...

In cinemas in March!

Hmm, The Fallout is not eligible for the Oscars 2023 and it wasn't eligible last year either. So it can win SXSW 2021 but just not even be allowed for the Oscars. Anyway, both X and Scream are eligible, but Oscar films tend to be picked from autumn releases and I don't think these are contenders.

It is all great how Jenna Ortega's talent is now so much recognised, resulting in The Fallout suddenly getting nominated in the 2023 awards season even though it premiered at sxsw 2021, and her Instagram followers jumping from 8 million to 38 million, but can we let her lead her own normal life in between jobs? You can see all the (presumably professional) autograph hunters on all the paparrazi photos.

Using my note8 s-pen on my tab s4 to do the text extraction. It just works.

It looks like Schmigadoon! season 2 comes out 7 April. At least I see them mentioning "4.07" which I think is American for 7 April and not some room number. I got season 1 on Apple TV+ and I think it's like that worldwide.

The film Scream VI (with Jenna Ortega) is listed for 9 March in Dutch cinemas (one day ahead of the US release), but these things tend to change once the date comes nearer.

I want to stress this quote:

"Never forget that the interview is for you, too."

So many people forget that. It's also about you selecting them as employer. It's why I don't consider a "not a fit" result to be negative, especially when it's true.

They did not ask a single question about my technical competencies, my achievements, or what I was looking for in my next opportunity. I was told this interview was a vibe check and that they'd prefer if I asked all the questions to see what was important to me, so I did.

Unsurprisingly, they passed on me the next day for not being a "🚩cultural fit". I honestly laughed for a solid hour.

Never forget that the interview is for you, too.


Some of my favourite science history facts:

The term "big bang theory" was coined by a scientist who didn't believe in it but in a static universe. He thought by giving it a ridiculous name, the theory would go away. The name stuck.

"Schrödinger's Cat" is a thought experiment often used to explain an interpretation of quantum physics where things can exist in multiple states at the same time as long as there's no other boundary condition (the cat is both dead and alive as long as you don't look into the box). Schrödinger did indeed come up with it, but since he didn't believe in this interpretation, the thought experiment was intended to make fun of the theory.

Others:

The cosmic microwave background radiation that is the result from the start of our universe, was first by the researchers thought to be the result of pigeon poo that had built up in their antenna. So this research project involved them standing in the big horn of the antenna with brooms scraping out pigeon poo.

When researchers tried to find out how much gravity was slowing down the expansion of the universe and whether it would be enough to pull the universe back together in some kind of big crunch, they redid their calculations many times because the result was so unexpected. But eventually they had to publish it. The answer to whether the universe's expansion was slowing down enough was that it was speeding up. No-one knows why.

It seems there will be a sequel to Zoey 101! It will be called Zoey 102. I think it's a film rather than a series. Thanks to Erin Sanders for the news! She plays Quinn and both Erin and Quinn are the reasons to watch Zoey 101/102.

To increase diversity they made sure not all white men they consulted where called 'Paul'.

That was a massively long read, but very interesting.

It lacks the other form of engaging with a post: subposting.

Summarising a document into a smaller document by using a smaller font.

Sorting posts alphabetically as a new timeline algorithm.

In Dutch, what we write as "IJ" is one character, just spelled like that because the actual character is missing. It takes the place of the "Y" in our alphabet. But we've been using this for so long, that a lot of crosswords and also the Dutch Woordle of a few days back, forget this.

Interestingly, when I look this up it appears that this has given rise to different sorting rules in dictionaries vs phone books.

They should run each tv series until there's at least one episode where they literally jump a shark.

There are many web site themes.

*filtering out the ones that are some kind of call-to-action thing*

There are no web site themes.

Award season, when the US entertainment industry celebrates the things us in the rest of the world have not even heard about.

Tonight will be the Golden Globe award ceremony where Jenna Ortega is nominated for best actress (subcategory comedy or musical series) for her role in Wednesday. I hope she wins! For me she has already won, and as best actress overall, or best person overall. She is also presenting an award, a different one I assume.
