I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

It’s a picture I took and I was pleased with it. I get super paranoid about using other people’s work (copyright etc). It’s not supposed to be my self-image. More it represents something I respond to: mix of the wholesome and the sinister. But I can see how it could be disturbing.

I think writing an entire album that’s pretending to be about how much you love This One Dude when it’s really about how much you hate other women (and by extension, yourself) is pretty brilliant actually. It eases my soul that someone as successful (and talented) as TS can still be so insecure

there is a theme with people who love AI, which is that they hate consent. Same type of person who would not hesitate to send Zelda Williams fake videos of her dead father is the same person who creates a fake girlfriend on their computer because in both situations, the other person can't say no

Despite loving both Gene Wilder and musicals, I've never seen the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I have read the book as a child, and seen the Tim Burton remake. 🙈

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Thinking again about how much I love John Carpenter's CHRISTINE, an easy top 3 entry in his filmography. What a weirdly prescient and insightful film about homosociality, masculinity, and the paradoxical violent power and extreme fragility of the self.

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.

Four black and white panels of a boy and girl sitting on steps. 1st panel: Charlie Brown is approaching and the boy says “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

It's difficult to feel like promoting my porn when things in the world are so beyond fucked, but I also know that people are desperate for release and escape right now. If you can get off to hot images of me, please do it. It's literally the least I can do when things feel so overwhelming.
