I should really change my profile picture. It was meant as a ridiculous form of a bathroom mirror selfie (hence the shower curtain), but it comes across as some pretentious photographer. Pretentious, moi? And also not a photographer, not more than everybody is.

Content warning: Pinned post, about following from multiple addresses
Hi, when I follow someone I usually do this from multiple accounts, with different servers and platforms. This is partially as backup. It’s also because different software has different features. E.g. at the moment of writing I mainly post from my Friendica server, but it doesn’t yet support polls, or account migrations. So I also follow from my Pleroma server, which does notify me someone has migrated.
I also sometimes use platforms that support nomadic identity, that allows my channels on multiple servers to be synced. From software that doesn’t support that, a follow request looks like multiple separate requests from those channels.

Content warning: pinned opinion about nude scenes in films
My opinion about nude scenes in films: against my own interests I believe that they are always avoidable and the same impressions can be achieved in other ways.
Many actresses are somewhere in their career forced to do a nude (sex) scene. The male actors hardly ever are. To me the purpose seems sales rather than art. I'd wish for films to never include nude scenes and to always use suggestion instead.

When I reshare a Twitter post from my own feed there, onto this fediverse account, it's only things I would otherwise have posted here anyway but this way it saves me typing it twice. It's not something unattended at all (as proven by the manual resharing), just somewhat lazy. I also leave out stuff that's not fitting for the fediverse.

Happy Birthday Jenna!
Jenna Ortega turns 21 today. I'm going to celebrate by watching some Wednesday and seeing a film of hers (still deciding which). Above photo was posted by her hair stylist Jenny Cho and taken yesterday in Paris.

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.
#GeorginaLeonidas #BirthdayRewatch
The Basil Brush Show S04E06 The Stupid Christmas I Mean Halloween Episode
Georgina Leonidas - Actress
Georgina Leonidas. Actress: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Georgina Leonidas was born on 28 February 1990 in London, England, UK.IMDb
The YouTube playlist is: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJ275ilrh0BHyiXxwFoRbIXgYoKuQVcV9&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE . I especially recommend the Jessie Cave videos like the Flat Whites series, they are very funny (I love Flat Whites: The Wheel).
Georgina is also in Father Brown (episode 3x09) and New Tricks (episode 6x03).

Rewatching New Tricks episode 6x03 "Fresh Starts" for the Birthday Rewatch for Georgina Leonidas. In this episode she has a significant guest role which she of course performs rather brilliantly.

I've seen most episodes of this twelve year long series and I think this episode may be the best one. Intricate story, more difficult themes than normally, very emotional. And as I said, Georgina is really great in it.

Watching Luna to celebrate the birthday of Stephanie Leonidas. This film is made by some of the same people that made Mirrormask, which is another great candidate for the birthday rewatch. I chose this one because I can now finally watch my US disc in a player that accepts the region coding. If I remember a theme was a couple mourning after the death of a child, but the events are fantastical and may be based on wishful thinking.

The film is from a while ago, around 2014, but it also took many years after filming before it was released. The effect is that we're getting a much younger Stephanie.

And yes, I played with the white balance setting of my phone. The first photo is quite wrong.
I'm struck by the fullness of how Stephanie plays her character Freya, especially since at least initially she should not be that central to the story. But you immediately feel her, want to meet her, talk to her, a bit like Stephanie's other roles often are real people you'd like to know. The other characters in this film take longer to develop.

There's an interesting thing about this moment in the film that I hope I remember correctly. The director revealed that this isn't an official take, but is Stephanie preparing for another scene which he secretly filmed from around the corner because he liked how it looked when he saw her standing like that and thought it would fit great in the film. And it does.
There are some quick cuts back and forth between the previous scene and the scene she's preparing for here, with these clips mixed in, that's why it works.

I slightly misremembered. He says he found this shot between takes, so not secretly filmed as I thought. But it is Stephanie preparing and getting her mind ready for the next take.
I think the overall word for this film is beautiful. Stephanie is superb.
Seven years it took between filming this film (2007) and it's eventual release (2014). And us in the rest of the world are still waiting (it's only out in the US and UK I think).

For the Stephanie Leonidas #BirthdayRewatch I'll start my rewatch of season one of Snatch. Hapless London gangsters need the help of Stephanie's character to shift their accidental loot before the mob finds out they have it.

Starting off #DoveWatch in honour of Dove Cameron's 26th birthday today with the film Cloud 9. It's one of the first films she ever made, maybe the first. I hadn't seen it yet, but it was recently broadcast on the Disney Channel.

The difference between snowboarding and skiing, I found, is that when you mess up while snowboarding it still looks cool, but when you do even the slightest thing wrong while skiing, it looks very silly. As you can imagine, I've never snowboarded.
Next up on #DoveWatch: Schmigadoon!, a really fun musical comedy series on Apple+. Rewatching episode 2 "Lovers' Spat" & 3 "Cross That Bridge" is going to give me some Dove Cameron content.

Descendants was a really great franchise, showing Dove Cameron's musical and acting talents. 1 was one of the best coming of age stories, but 2 and 3 allowed Dove to dig deep in emotional consequences.

I like the implicit role reversal where Mal, as queen to be, considers herself to be the one in charge of protecting the realm, instead of the this role falling to the King or some male general.

I know I'm watching it for Dove Cameron, but it's of course also a starring performance by Sarah Jeffery as Audrey, the Queen of Mean.

Finally in #DoveWatch, it's getting late, one of the episodes of season five of Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that Dove Cameron starred in as unhinged assassin Ruby. I'm doing 5x15, but they're all great.

I also like the story of the young Hale. What these male Hydra leaders seem to think the highest honour a female student can get is.
