Safari's URL bar performance went into the toilet on 26.0.0. I'm absolutely flummoxed why a M1 Max is taking multiple seconds to autocomplete. Meanwhile, punishing hitches abound in tab swaps and basic window operations.

I'm the last Safari partisan alive on this planet - y'all're killing me.

LIVING OUT LOUD (1998, DVD, #film)

Richard LaGravenese's flimsy script whiffs the first half of his WASP 'Stella Gets Her...' but almost gets it together in the end. Buoyed by an rapturously shot lesbian club dance sequence and Eddie Cibrian's ass.

Holly, Danny DeVito and Queen Latifah pull hard.

Holly Hunter ('Judith Moore') dances ecstatically in a club with gorgeous women abounding

hundreds of women dance in a seductive nightclub

Holly Hunter ('Judith Moore') strips nude for an imminent massage

An otherwise nude Eddie Cibrian ('The Masseur') begins removing his white briefs. His body is *insane* and I see why LeAnn wrecked a home for his ass

The real struggle is in the setup of the characters, where Hunter starts off as a vapid self-absorbed delusional ass who ends up being The Realest after she connects with the more fringe elements of NYC (black, fat, short, poor, gay) to find herself. Clunking clanking politics continously intrude.

I am watching a movie from 1998 where Holly Hunter is supposed to be an unfuckable mess and this DVD may be going off the balcony shortly

Jameson Parker topless in PRINCE OF DARKNESS (1987). He's blonde and nicely built with an obnoxious fake mustache that still works anyway.

85% drop in US spirits sold to Canada, and a 92% drop in sales of US wines. We were the largest market the US had, and now it's *gone*. Also: 29billion in losses this year so far for tourism to the US. The Boycott is working, Canada, keep it up!

Akiva Schaffer could plink it at 400 yards. I’m not mad at this idea.

Absolutely nothing is happening on the overall bluesky metrics. Something synthetic may be going on.

The game comes alive when I’m talking with her in a way it doesn’t with any other character. Melinoë is so goody gumdrops about everything (so far) it gets old.

Please let the main character be a fusion-hot compulsive dickbag toting a machine gun. Please.

I did not enjoy the Luc Besson one whatsoever and I did not make that clear, apologies. I am hoping I missed something though.

In any case: Matilda de Angelis almost steals the whole thing in 20 minutes. Give her a movie!

Mooch @cachiporra.bsky.social · 24d

I’ll say something nice: one Matilda De Angelis (‘ Maria’) is somehow allowed to go HAM as a manic vampire party girl and she almost single-handedly gets the engine to turn over.

Alas! Anyway she’s stunning.

NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU (2023, Hulu, #film)

A *fantastic* followup to the *fantastic* SPONTANEOUS (2020) from writer-director Brian Duffield. A quirky country girl has her home invaded - events ensue.

Visually striking, utterly engrossing, dialogue free, *horrifying*.

Solidified my place as the biggest mark for @brianduffield.bsky.social’s SPONTANEOUS.

Preference sync was going to be a huge fucking thing in our world and then they decided it was too much work and pulled it. Then they spent five years flogging cloud storage like it was the second coming of Christ, and then pulled that too. There’s no commitment.

Sometimes it feels like they have 300 marketers for every engineer and it’s getting old. Basic shit doesn’t work and it just piles up year after year after year.

Farscape S2E15 is a series high water mark for obnoxious homophobic comedy, but it also has a sweaty in-his-prime Ben Browder handcuffed to a gurney while wearing jeans, size 13 sneakers, and a white tank.

So: do with that information what you shall.
