I like science fiction movies and series of all kinds, as long as the story is good. In the past I watched one or two Japanese science fiction movies and remember that I liked them very much (I don’t remember the titles, though)....
It’s a core influence on a lot of Japanese cinema. It’s such a big deal that Hollywood by way of Spain with Italian direction turned it into basically the best western trilogy.
I remember being a kindergartener running home from the bus to be on time to watch Star Blazers. I loved it. It’s a fun story with 1970s style.
I always like to see it as a woman breaking the surface of water from underneath. Raising her head and pushing upwards, water flowing over her.
I like to call it whats its been called for millennia, Tahoma or simply the Mountain. Almost everyone in Western Washington will know what you are talking about if you just say the Mountain. “Oh look the mountain is out today”
I always like to think he pissed off everyone just by demanding an answer to why and questioning everyone to the point of madness while also being completely sane and logical.
A girl I dated sold a set of modeling photos to one of the clip art sites in the early 2000s. She was in a movie too, but all of that right after we broke up.
The photos of her from the photoshoot would show up in weird ways. She was all over the internet! She was an advertisement on the front page of msnbc for a while. But the real kicker was seeing her photo on the wall of a futon store. Like frickin huge. The store was on a corner of a busy intersection. I could see the picture on the wall as I turned the corner. WTF One time I had to stop and go inside just to check if I was making it up. My wife agreed it was her!
And for like 10 years I would see it used in random places.
She was and probably is super cute so not surprised she had some luck selling her appearance but JFC I’m pretty sure some dudes fell in love with her. I did to but at least she was interested in me too
In July and August of 1961, Johnny Cash recorded a batch of songs that became the basis for Blood, Sweat and Tears, a record many regard as merely a concept album about working people. But Blood, Sweat and Tears is a concept album about race in America, about the violent enforcement of racial hierarchies in America. It is the...
Great link, thanks. Love me some Lead Belly and Johnny Cash. Love it even more when I can leave with some new insight.
I remember a time I was in the Navy, cleaning in the Chief’s area. The shipboard radio was on and The Greatful Dead’s version of Casey Jones was on. A chief came in and freaked out on me. I couldn’t really understand what about the song made him so angry. It wasn’t like I picked it. This article opens up a rabbit hole for me in many ways. Thanks again
I always thought I hated country until I started listening to the old stuff and the indie modern acts. Absolutely night and day difference. I actually like the country of Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton…
So I feel a need to make sure the distinction is there now.
I work with librarians and I have heard them say that sometimes an old worn out book is just a bunch of paper. Would you keep a bunch of paper lying around? Librarians throw out a lot of books.
From my experience, brother in law hates it. Wants to cancel but the kids (2 preteens) watch it a lot and he just doesn’t want to use something new that he has to relearn to be comfortable leaving them alone with.
I don’t subscribe to this community but I found your post in the top of my feed. And want people to know, you have my support. I think it’s awesome that you’re able to build this community.
I’m not going to be aggressive in any online discussion but I am very sensitive to the situation. My brother was a gay man who had lots of difficulties and ultimately took his own life. I will always wonder if society was different, if he’d still be here.
So I will never shy away in real life. I promised the memories of my brother to always be that change that is needed. I will be that cis dude who takes the time to try and change people who show me their bigotry.
I know people in real life who have transitioned. It’s a very difficult process and anyone who feels that they need it, they should have access to it. The look of being comfortable in one’s own skin afterwards is absolutely observable. I can only do what I can do but you will always have an ally in me.
It only takes a smidge of Oregon soil for plants to thrive here. This blackberry bush has been growing out of the concrete median for months. It finally made berries!
I took back a half acre of those things. Believe me when I say that I am 100% with you. I wish a blight wipes them out so much. If you are able, digging up the ball root makes removing them easier. They are almost impossible to eradicate but if you can get the root ball out, they are totally weakened. I bought a pawn shop weed eater and those plastic blades. I went through so many blades and the weed eater died a sad long death.
I am partial to the Iron Front ↙️↙️↙️ but this new approach is pretty good! The Iron Front arrows were used to cover the swastika during the time of the actual Nazis and it was a powerful statement. Seeing it being a popular symbol at soccer/football games is a good thing
Can you imagine if in the 50th Anniversary episode, he was the War Doctor? Hurt was fantastic but if Christopher Eccleston was that character and Rose was still the Weapon… oh that could have been something really cool.
IMO Rose was always the Weapon. She just creates Rose to see if the Doctor is the right person to activate it.
Yeah, Eccleston didn’t like the BBC leadership that was running the show. But since he has had a change of heart, maybe he can get in on one of the specials and we can have a 5 Doctors tale again or something
