Little Alex Horne in his studio chair with the caption "so a simple task: land a fair blow anywhere on the green knight. One year later meet him at the green chapel, receive the same blow yourself."

A cut to a wider shot showing Greg Davies in his throne turning to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Well surely no one just ran up and whanged his head clean off."

Cut back to Little Alex Horne subtitled "Let's see Gawain first."

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.

the rude label is proof that bluesky is skaphobic

Nina Simone, the High Priestess of Soul, was born on this day in 1933. She fought for the love of what is right and just, and they made every effort to steal that from her. But her artistry and spirit live on. Sadly, her message is needed just as much now as it was then.

Best actor ever in a Time Tunnel episode? Yes, indisputably true, but I think it's more accurate to simply say best actor ever. Rest In Peace, Robert Duvall.

Duvall as Boo Radley

Duvall as Tom Hagen in The Godfather

Duvall as Kilgore in Apocalypse Now

Duvall as Mac Sledge in Tender Mercies

RIP Robert Duvall: as central to American film as anyone in his generation

Ha! Whipped this up after getting a new catalog from y’all. Inspiration hits when it hits!

This is a delightful multilingual & folklore pun

Impossible to watch without your jaw dropping. Something completely other than else.

Paul Stanley of KISS playing guitar, shirtless (natch), in his “Starchild” makeup is wearing a fireman’s helmet. Presumably he is singing the song “Firehouse,” which would make as much sense as anything Paul Stanley would do.

Paul Stanley has opinions.

If I drank heavily enough, I could. It’d be tomorrow before it showed up, though.

Was listening to the audiobook of RAW’s Cosmic Trigger, and he was (typically) talking about synchronicity and then Wilhelm Reich, turned it off and the radio announcer said today’s video assignment was to watch Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting” video AND IT’S ABOUT REICH. Weirdness reigns.

Yeah even at the time it came across as ultimately problematic, and I tried to like it more than I actually did. Made a lot of excuses for it, because I’d had some quite nice exchanges with them on Tumblr at the time, and thought they were on the up and up.

The Soskas also wound up being pally with Jack Posobiec, did an interview with him on OAN, worked with known abuser Lucifer Valentine, and have a rep in the Vancouver film scene for treating their colleagues and crew like shit. (Also, yeah, the Rabid remake was awful.)

I am begging Peter Carroll to not legitimize this bullshit. And “Discordian Pope?” Like that’s a qualifier? The whole point is that ANYONE (who wants to) can be a Pope, for Eris’ sake.
