My usage flow on the fediverse: encounter someone on Friendica, follow them, copy their address, paste it in Pleroma, follow them there, continue reading on Friendica, encounter a poll (not yet supported by Friendica), copy its address to Pleroma, vote there, see a notification in Pleroma that someone's account has migrated, which Friendica doesn't support, copy their address into Friendica, follow them there.
That's why you usually get two follows from me and why locked accounts see an extra request from me a few days after they migrated.

My hottake on no day in particular about 'romantic' films. In such films there usually is a male character who really likes (or will like) the female character, appreciate her idiosyncrasies, comes to realise she's exactly who he loves and needs.
There's also a female character who finds out that the male character really loves her, that she looks for someone who respects her, 'gets' her, supports her and that he is that guy.
In both cases, it's about the man. First it's the man loving the woman. Secondly it's the woman wanting someone who loves her. Her own feelings and desires don't seem to matter to script writers of romantic films.

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!
I may have some films and shows with Stephanie Leonidas... I think I already know which one I'm going to rewatch tonight.

American Carnage is a film that Jenna Ortega recorded in Spain several years ago. Nothing much was heard about it for a long time, but when Jenna became more famous with The Fallout and Scream, the film was suddenly released with her prominently in all marketing. I'm not sure yet how big her role really is.
It is not available on European blu-ray or on any of my local digital services. So this is the us blu-ray.

I found that you can get dvd players that play any region discs for under €50, if you look for the unknown brands. These manufacture them region-free and sell them as such. This is perfectly legal, even if the studios don't like it.
Blu-rays is another matter. These can only be made to play discs from different regions by hardware modification. In that case you can buy a (major brand) player from a store where they modify the device before shipping it to you. This costs about €100 more than the normal price of the same model, so you end up paying €200-400. It will be region-free for dvd's as well.
But then you finally have freedom to buy the discs where you want. Especially since many films only have us releases nowadays, this was worth it.
Of course, converting it with handbrake is free...
Why a company (a film studio) would prevent you from buying their product in one market when they are never going to release it in another market, I don't know.
This includes streaming btw, we also hardly get any of the streaming releases (either subscription, rental or buy) that the us gets.
Happy Birthday, Christina Ricci!
She's 'only' 10 years and 5 days younger than me... I have seen so many films with her, but I think Black Snake Moan is my favourite. I'll be rewatching that now.
For other ideas to celebrate, this is my letterboxd list "Watch for Christina".

"I done been toe to toe with the law in this town a heap of times just for being black and nearby."
Trolley Problem but pov is you're one of the people on the tracks and the lever is stuck. You can buy a place on one of the tracks, but the safe one is the most expensive one.
Also, why are people wondering why rich people don't take climate change seriously?
Some are welcoming the armageddon that's to come, believing they will be ok.
A film from my watchlist is leaving Netflix, so l have to watch it now. This is what I dislike about streaming services and why they don't replace owning films.
Karen David is a great actress and singer and by all appearances a great person, who I know from Pixelface and Waterloo Road. Though in the latter case I didn't realise it was her... Because of her I watched Galavant and that was such a great experience. It's a medieval comedy musical. Also because of her I watched Fear The Walking Dead, which made me discover other great actresses and which I'm still following. People may also know her from Once Upon a Time, but I was already following that...
Now I'm watching an early film she's in: The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior.

#YouNetflix: Penn Badgley talks starting Season 4 with a murder mystery. Plus, @AmyLHickman says her character Nadia will "surprise" people!Full interview: youtu.be/hspuSElK1IU
Tomorrow You season four starts on Netflix, with Amy-Leigh Hickman as Nadia. Apparently it starts off as a murder mystery, which is different since in previous seasons we knew exactly who the killer was... Amy-Leigh says we will be surprised by Nadia. I say we will be surprised by Amy-Leigh Hickman. She is a seriously good actress.

I tried to retweet the promotion, but apparently I'm not allowed to help since I've reached the maximum amount of tweets for the day. Which is apparently 0. Anyway, this time twitter is properly broken and we'll have to do with a link to the video here.

Binging all five episodes means just that I had to rewatch the final one since I remembered nothing of it. Anyway, some theories still hold for part 2 of the season (9 March) and the solution of the part 1 mystery was one of the things I thought about early on and not really that great a revelation; I guess it's all a setup for part 2. I'll be watching that!
Amy-Leigh Hickman's character Nadia is not unlike Ellie, the character that grounds the story in reality. And she's brilliant. It is what I missed in season 3.

Admin tip: if you see that a problem with the server is going to occur in the future, like slowly running out of resources, ignoring it doesn't make it go away. For now solved by using a less cheap setting, but I really need to figure out what is using the resources.
Also, running multiple applications on the same host doesn't help in identifying where a problem comes from.

Helena's "Where are these mangoes?" is such a classic line and so Helena. She follows it up in the same scene with telling an identical clone: "I met your brother. He's ugly.".
I love shows that are so character-based, especially when writers and actresses get it exactly right.

A young boy has to deal with a bully at school, his mother being ill, a strict grandmother and the annoyance of a monster telling allegories, all the while learning some life lessons.
I didn't really feel this film, maybe because the monster was not very convincing as either a monster or a storyteller. Felicity was as feared not in it enough for my liking.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •Sometimes I flippantly say to myself that I like all of His Dark Materials series 3 except the business with Lord Asriel, his war, the Angels and the Authority, Will's father, the wandering doctor... which is basically all of it. But that's not fair, there's enough of Lyra, Mrs Coulter is also interesting though I don't understand her, the Magisterium is always funny with Dafne's father chasing Lyra.
But there's a thing I really dislike about Lord Asriel: he pretends to give leaders of other beings all kinds of fancy titles and a seat on the council, but he never listens to them and always does his own thing. "I need your leadership" he tells someone and proceeds to completely ignore them.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •It's so beautiful in this Land of the Dead episode that all the people there have lost the memories of the outside world, but crave these memories, so when Lyra starts reminiscing with Roger, they get drawn to them. How they filmed that with the colour slowly returning is also very beautiful.
Edit: it's two episodes of that storyline and neither is called Land of the Dead... It's No Way Out and The Abyss.

in reply to Gidi Kroon • •The role of the serpent is so weird: wander about for over a season, tell a story and go home. Still sort of beautiful in the end though.
I'm now at the bench, i.e. near the end of the rewatch.
