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.)

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.

One lesson connected to ChatGPT is that reliable pple aren't those who have good answers in general, but those who answer ONLY things they know v. well.
When lost, you'd rather get no direction than a wrong one.
Real doctors let you know what is outside their expertise.

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.

After.Life (2009)

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.
