What I do like about the BBC though, is that you can go to the BBC news site and get a fair overview of the incredible mess the BBC is in at the moment and how they are mishandling things.
I think the problems started a few years ago, when the policy was introduced that BBC employees were not allowed to voice their own opinions on their own social media. Some incidents have happened since that didn't get the attention it gets now. But I guess the major presenter of a major show (and a white man) being fired for running foul of the policy finally has everybody up in arms. I'm glad to see other presenters pulling out of their respective shows in solidarity.
The opinion in this case was as I understand that the government's asylum policy is cruel. Which it is.
Part two of the fourth season of You is now available on Netflix. Also, I have no volleyball to go to this evening. These two events nicely combine.
Amy-Leigh Hickman was already great in part one, I have high expectations for part two...

Just back from Scream VI:Wow!
This is by far, by far, the best film of the franchise. Jenna Ortega is amazing. The whole cast play their characters amazingly. The script includes proper characters unlike some horror films. Even if you're not into horror or slashers, this is still a big recommendation from me.

These companies: "Oh, do we have to support women the whole year? Not just this one day?"
Proposal: no-one (and no company) is allowed to send cheery “Happy International Womens Day” messages if they have, in the past year, belittled women, ignored them, done nothing about their gender pay gap, mansplained anything or put women on a pedestal. We see you and we see your hypocrisy. Stop it. #IWD #women
Doing the final one Wednesday per Wednesday, episode 8 of my fourth run-through. Getting ready for the pre-premiere of Scream VI later this evening. It's a Jenna Ortega day...
Scream VI is released in Dutch cinemas tomorrow, Thursday 9 March. In the US it is released Friday.

I've been watching the Scream films to get ready for the release of Scream VI this week. Now I'm rewatching the fifth film, Scream, the one with Jenna Ortega, from my 4k disc. Last year I saw this film in the cinema and it was my first experience seeing Jenna on the big screen, which is even more impressive.
Of course I'm going to see Scream VI in the cinema too! The US release is this Friday, the Dutch release is one day earlier but our prerelease is this Wednesday already.

#MelissaBarrera #KeepBreathing
I really liked Keep Breathing. Melissa Barrera is really good as basically the only character this series follows. She is Liv, a woman who survives a plane crash in the middle of nowhere, then has to keep surviving.
I like that each episode is a bit different. I also like that Liv is not portrayed as some sort of survival expert or that the risks and problems are played down. Liv is just a resourceful, determined woman but like any city person she doesn't know what she's doing out there.
What makes the series different from just that idea of survival, is that they keep tying it back to life before the accident and to her youth.
#MelissaBarrera #KeepBreathing
In one of the flashbacks to Liv's youth, there was essentially a mini-survival that prepared her for being lost alone in the forest. Her mother was supposed to pick her up from a girl scouts event, but of course didn't, so after a long wait she had to try to walk home, navigate the jungle that is New York without any preparation or help. After a long walk, she reaches home and falls into the arms of her father. It's this memory that drives her as an adult in the forests of Canada and tells her she can do it.
She also finds that what she learned in the girl scouts is not as easily applicable in reality as she thought at the time. E.g. how are you going to magnetise a compass needle, did you bring your big magnet?
Just back from watching Bed Rest in the cinema. Maybe I shouldn't have seen this at midnight, it's seriously scary. Melissa Barrera is really good as the lead, a pregnant woman who has to stay in bed and finds it a mental challenge. Melissa also produces the film.
A comparison with Rosemary's Baby is unavoidable with such a synopsis, but I like the psychology of the woman better in this one. She's highly capable, strong, independent, and reasons for her state of mind go further than being pregnant. It's just the character of the man I didn't like.
That first scene, where she quickly sorted out the renovation her husband was stressing about, immediately set the tone. His non-acknowledgment of that, too.
Next week, it's Melissa again, but together with Jenna Ortega, as Sam and Tara respectively in Scream VI.

I'm at episode 7 of 8 of my one Wednesday per Wednesday rewatch, which I think is my fourth run through of the series. I guess next week will be a double dose of Jenna Ortega.
Everytime at the beginning of the week, Netflix mails me the 'Don't forget to finish Wednesday!' email and I'm like, is it Wednesday already? No? Chill.

Happy Birthday Georgina Leonidas!
Yeah, Georgina is born on double the date of her older sister, Stephanie, which makes it easy to remember for me. And I have a calendar on my phone.
I like to rewatch something to mark the occasion, but not much of hers is available on streaming services or on dvd. If you ignore a major film series about a boy wizard that is. So YouTube clips it is. I randomly chose this Basil Brush episode from the playlist I made last year.

Episode 6 Jessica Fox comes in as Enid Nightshade. Instantly quite a character.
It has been my theory (without knowing the books) that originally the idea was to have Mildred go up against Ethel as the standard good vs evil battle. But because Mildred is 'the worst witch', and Ethel some sort of perfect witch with lots of talent, these stories were not going to work very well if magic was to be used in the battles. In comes Enid, also without morals, also very good at spells, but she takes an instant dislike to Ethel so she joins Mildred just to upset her.
Dafne Keen on letterboxd reviewing a film with her father in it:
My g will Keen, never heard of him before, decent actor.

New interview with Jenna Ortega for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, with her fellow nominees for the SAG Award in her category. Focusing on Wednesday from an actress perspective. I really like seeing how much work and thought she put into it. The awards are handed out tomorrow I think.

@Matthias Bürcher I tried adding the magic words to my profile, and as far as I can check two of them are there (searchable and tootfinder), but https://www.tootfinder.ch/ says that I don't have the magic word in my profile. I checked some profiles of others but I can't find what I'm doing wrong.
Do you have any advice, if you have time? Thanks!
@Matthias Bürcher Ah, that explains it. I thought the webfinger lookup would be used. The feed urls in Friendica are also different from Mastodon, even if the profile lookup would succeed. I had also tried my Pleroma account which gave the same message. Anyway, thanks for looking into it!
(Fyi, the Friendica profile url may be like https://friendica.gidikroon.eu/profile/gidi/profile or without the final /profile and the Pleroma one https://pleroma.gidikroon.eu/users/Gidi. My feed app discovers the Friendica feed url as https://friendica.gidikroon.eu/dfrn_poll/gidi (or https://friendica.gidikroon.eu/feed/gidi/) and for Pleroma https://pleroma.gidikroon.eu/users/gidi/feed.atom.)

#NicoleMuñoz #CenterStageOnPointe
A ballet company auditions modern dancers to expand their repertoire and Bella, played by Nicole Muñoz, is a really good modern dancer. The problem arises when they still want them to learn ballet. There's a weeks long process where they train and live together. Toxic competition and friendship will collide.
Initially the film suggests it may be about low confidence due to perceived weight issues but luckily it's not about that.
Nicole is really good as the girl who needs to find her confidence to perform her best. While remaining true to herself in her relationships with other people.

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.

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.
