@rooster Happy to see someone else play ski trips correctly. 👌
@TheSpaceshipper VERY excited for this. ⏳
@TheSpaceshipper It has arrived. Credit to the craters: they were thorough. The framing is pretty amateur looking, so I’m going to take it over to a trusted framing shop today and task them with doing art preservation the right way.
Lurid 1970’s Samurai Cinema
I finished up the sixth, and final, Lone Wolf and Cub film last night. I am in awe of these films. They are somehow adjacent to both El Topo and Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetary Man), but also Sanjuro, Once Upon a Time in the West, and … Troma? 🤷♀️
Extremely difficult to describe without spoiling, they build on one another in ways both subtle and overt, such that I have to recommend the series as a whole as one art object. (Though, the structure of the fifth film should be called out as particularly interesting).
I watched one a week for six weeks, and that ended up feeling just right: close enough in time to one another to catch the visual and narrative rhymes, but not so close as to wear the repetitions bare .
Best Film Series ever?
Well, certainly my favorite yet!
@tillybridges Awww, I’d forgotten about the crazy progesterone dreams. They went away after awhile for me, but so … interesting while they happened. ☺️
@rooster Sadly, I remember being surprised when it happened at all. #LowExpectations
Earlier this year I built a spreadsheet of sci-fi book recommendations from my followers on Twitter.
For 2023, I've committed to reading one book each month from this list.
I want to share this list with my new friends on #Mastodon and invite you to submit your own favorites to the list!
Here's the spreadsheet where you can review the recommendations and submit your own --> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16jo7x3cmkQdhpwi8cy5SJcHrLYZJXVZhgabKWtznf-c/edit?usp=sharing
I hope you'll boost to help spread the word!
@brendan This looks like a pretty solid list! Thank you for sharing!
@semidetached OMG. These photos are amaze. I can’t believe I’ve never thought of this!!
When I was in #LosAngeles last weekend, we went to a gallery showing of original artwork inspired by the #LastUnicorn.
This was my favorite piece. Unfortunately, someone had already beat me to it!
Mystery Purchaser, wherever you are: well played.

I just want to thank #AubreyPlaza and #DanMurphy for #TheChristmasWitch - finally, justification to bake Christmas cookies in wildly impractical Halloween costumes with dramatic sleeves.
