It’s been over 30 years since Clerks came out (Jan. of 1994)… Smith just released some new behind the scenes footage…
He put the intro at the end…

There was a James Bond in my class in high school. He was an asshole.

There’s a guy I follow on that thar YouTube called the Feral Historian.
He wanders out into the Wilderness and natters about some sci-fi series or book or game, usually with some interesting observations.
He’s quite anti-authoritarian, but also seems to hold some views somewhat to the right of my own. Doesn’t stop me enjoying his content though.
If you fancy a gander, find him over here:
To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of youse lot are already familiar with his work and maybe even know him?

Should we revive a specific John Oliver thread?
Sad that this will only be accessible to a wider audience on Thursday.
Oh it’s already up!

I’m subscribed, though I’ve only watched about a half dozen or so of his videos so far. His meandering discussions are interesting though, and a good length.

Billy Zane’s Brando is uncanny.

It should be “Tangoing with Brando.”

Based on this, I give kudos to his makeup people, but the voice really isn’t there and he seems too energetic. Billy Zane is probably about the right age for Brando in this period, but I bet he’s kept himself in better shape and it shows.

It’s based on the memoir written by the architect Bernard Judge. I don’t know why he titled it that, but the movie is clearly based on that memoir.

I seem to be channeling my inner Halloween viewer tonight…
Which, granted, is a little milquetoast as far as scare factor goes.
Comedies befitting the times, with just that tinge of scare factor…

Okay, this is more about me asking questions than about what I’m watching (Rifftrax, btw, with Matthew J. Elliott and Ian Potter, love those Brits!):
Of all of the 20th century movies/tv shows about the earth and society having reached a dystopian future, which do you think is the closest to what’s going on now? And out of all that you’ve seen, which one is your favorite, regardless of whether or not it’s closer to actual life? Or cheesy or not, LOL!
For me, it’s “Metropolis” (1927) that is the closest to what we’re approaching. But my favorite…I dunno, WALL-E was good…it’s a 3-way tie between that and “Soylent Green” (1973) and “Logan’s Run” (1976).

If I’m not working, I’m mostly on the couch, under a blanket, watching ST: Voyager this week.
I did branch out to watch national treasure Taylor Thomlinson’s after-election episode of After Midnight yesterday, though. Nothing can really make me feel better about all this shit right now. And it obviously isn’t funny. But raging, crying, and even laughing a bit with four talented comedians really hit the spot for a moment. Here are the first two clips:

mum and i just looove Manuel Garza-Rufo (Lincoln Lawyer), so we watched this:
this was a dreamy tale, in the style of magical realism in a screenplay of the book of the same title, by Manuel’s grandfather.
the fantastical story seems to take place in a sort of bardo, or purgatory, where every character we meet could be alive, dead, or some realm in between.
this is one that readers of the Hispanic writers of the magical realism (Casteneda, Garcia-Marquez, others) will appreciate. i found it a very good portrayal of that “vibe” and in keeping with that style of Latin American storytelling.
