This is so cool. The account is just retro all the things. FOR SOME REASON… the video won’t embed, but it’s still there. Here’s the link: https://www.tiktok.com/@shtunner/video/7036575159939239173

  • Also, you are all too old to get any of this, but for you Blues Clues people, this has been amazing to see Steve back in the game. This duet that’s been happening on Tik Tok is the most pure thing, and I threw my hat in the ring, and frankly… it matches up too well.
@unclefishbits##duet with @hioutthereitsmesteve I miss you so much Norway. We loved you more than anything. You’re still here. just not as fluffy. I’m going to start posting old videos of her here. It will be healing.? Gymnopédie No. 1 (Erik Satie) – Myuu

 

 

  • Ingmar Bergman, with the most elegant and nuanced take on relevant modern problems… Everyone’s an individual, but no one else is. I really blame individualism for a bunch of stuff, but sure… collectivist countries have their own issues, so it’s not zero sum.

“Today the individual has become the highest form, and the greatest bane, of artistic creation. The smallest wound or pain of the ego is examined under a microscope as if it were of eternal importance. The artist considers his isolation, his subjectivity, his individualism almost holy. Thus we finally gather in one large pen, where we stand and bleat about our loneliness without listening to each other and without realizing that we are smothering each other to death. The individualists stare into each other’s eyes and yet deny each other’s existence. We walk in circles, so limited by our own anxieties that we can no longer distinguish between true and false, between the gangster’s whim and the purest ideal.” – Ingmar Bergman

 

SPACE

  • There are so many, and they’re all delightful retro-futurism:

And…

  • The amount of time we’ve waited for this, I just can’t take any more scares:

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

 

  • Kill me now, Edition #46. If reality is truly an even worse notion of a already terrible Christopher Nolan film, just take me immediately. Reality is bad enough with stupid Nolan films. Don’t make them legit, please. I do like Interstellar tho.

  • This is interesting… restoring wolf populations reduces traffic collisions with deer such that it pays for any program revolving around restoring wolve populations:

We quantify the effects of restoring wolf populations by evaluating their influence on deer–vehicle collisions (DVCs) in Wisconsin. We show that, for the average county, wolf entry reduced DVCs by 24%, yielding an economic benefit that is 63 times greater than the costs of verified wolf predation on livestock. https://www.pnas.org/content/118/22/e2023251118

MOVIES AND TV

 

  • This is weird, because I am good at art investment and have been in the past, and I wouldn’t have literally been like “Honey, let’s invest $20,000 in a rare book”, but I will admit, a few years ago I could have bought this around $20-30K, and I should have. Damnit. I need to stop doubting my stock or art investment gut. =/ $3 Million could start an art house production company. =/

Here’s a post about the documentary that sort of unearthed this gem in 2013:

A free form rambling “review” of Jodorowsky’s Dune documentary

It’s been fabled since the early 70s, of course: Jodorowsky’s Dune Book Sells for a Sand Worm-Sized Amount of Money A rare book of production art from Alejandro Jodorowsky’s failed film adaptation of Dune sells for nearly $3 million at an auction. https://www.cbr.com/jodorowsky-dune-book-3-million-auction/

 

 

  • Disney Plans to Spend $33B on Content Next Year, much of it is sports licensing:

Disney says it will spend $8B more on content in 2022 than 2021, mostly on shows and movies for its streaming platforms. Disney also disclosed just how many films and TV shows it plans to release in 2022. Disney’s Studios division plans to release some 50 titles for theatrical release and on its direct-to-consumer platforms, while its General Entertainment division plans to produce or commission 60 unscripted series, 30 comedy series, 25 drama series, 15 docuseries/limited series, 10 animated series and 5 made for TV movies in fiscal 2022. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/disney-streaming-content-spend-2022-1235052916/

 

 

  • This is the next Squid Game. I came up in film fandom during the pivot from 80s Slashers to Indie Horror in the states, but Japanese and Korean art house horror taking off! It was an amazing time, and somewhat hipsterish I am thrilled I was able to hitch my wagon to that moment in time and culture, and follow a lot of these directors as they rose to fame, from Oldboy to The Host, Audition, and more.

  • Marketing is the form of capitalism that is make you supposed to feel shitty about who you are without said item. How in the hell is Ryan Reynolds doing it well and making fun of it constantly? This isn’t even Deadpool. This is his new Red Notice Netflix film. How in the heck does he do it?!?

 

@NetflixCleopatra’s 3rd Egg, $100M. Any TikTok w @vancityreynolds, PRICELESS. Watch Red Notice on @netflix? Promoted Music

 

 

  • Speaking of…. Ryan is dreamy. This is darling if you are a Reynolds stan, otherwise move on.

COMEDY

  • This isn’t comedy, but it is. But it’s REALLY special, and it’s heart warming, from the “duet” I posted at the top. What’s wild is that the guy always looks on point, and it’s a rabbit hole watching everyone’s additions to his meme.

  • Most of you are way too old to know what I know, and the ones young enough to know this should be skeptical about why I know him, but this guy is from Blues Clues, and he broke the internet recently by making us all cry in helping us know he never forgot us. I am too old to be talking about this.

 

  • But if you need to be heard, and you need a platform, and you want a project, go and duet this:

 

 

 

  • This is, in the 426 hours of Harmontown I’ve listened to, some of the best improv I’ve ever heard, either on the show, or in general… about the poor Robocop Ed-209. =)

CULTURE, PEOPLE, AND SOCIETY

 

  • I can’t disagree with this. He’s now just profiting on his criticism of capitalism and art. It’s fine, but it depends where that money goes, and it depends if there’s a final reveal, vs literally exiting through the gift shop, and all the subtext that suggests:

  • This is very, VERY cool:

Dungeons & Dragons-Themed Immersive Restaurant Announced https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/dungeons-dragons-restaurant-lake-geneva/

Each room would have a different theme based around different D&D classes and tropes. In addition to a restaurant is an axe-throwing range called “The Barbarian in the Basement,” a ‘secret’ game store called “The Library,” and a steampunk-themed mixology bar called “The Gnome Alchemist.”

Also included at the restaurant are private game spaces where visitors can hire a professional Dungeon Master to guide them through their first D&D session, as well as a gift shop. An event and wedding facility would also be located at the site.

  • I was forced to cook so many damned french omelettes, and frankly I like them not wet. But Gordon’s scrambled eggs are canon, this is amazing, and like my “sear and blast” method of cooking steak as the only way to cook a steak (BBQ is awful, and no, I don’t mean slow pellet but charcoal)… anyhoo, this is the best quick tutorial how to make life changing scrambled eggs:
