I gotta get off of the internet, take a melatonin, and watch some BL (evergreen tweet.)

Tonight YouTube is giving me Italian subtitles for the commercials. Why not I guess.

Honestly appropriate because being the neighborhood big brother was a key theme of this movie.

You know you've been watching too many Chinese films when Andy Lau puts in a surprise appearance and you reverently murmur 大哥 at the screen.

Yeah, that makes sense! Kanopy and Tubi (plus all the Vincent Price on Prime) seem to have me sorted this year.

(oops I overdid it on removing exclamation marks and did away with punctuation altogether!)

I appreciate the report Sometimes I use letterboxd on the web to look at a streamer library when the interface isn't doing it for me; for my needs I usually sort earliest first, and also look for potential foreign language titles.

Thank you PoGo for spawning shinies so fast I had what I wanted in under an hour & now am eating tofu tacos before my movie starts.

Please, I live in the same metro I grew up in, and the oldest friend I see regularly I met when we were in college and she was still in her hometown... in Canada.

Also you know I love a CW drama.

In better downtown news, I just got back from spending the afternoon with certified queer icon Bugs Bunny.

Large screen with graphic for Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, while the Seattle Symphony starts to warm up on the stage below.

Sorry but what the actual fuck.

Downtown could have "like, a 10-foot wall" where people could talk to AI versions of historical figures. "How cool would this be if we had like, a 10 foot wall. It's interactive and it's historical. And you could talk to Martin Luther King."...

Wow, a deep cut! & while I did have a shirt in that genre in 1993, I didn't have that one, and whatever I did have is long gone!

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · 1d

That's what I was afraid of.

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · 1d

What does one wear to watch Bugs Bunny cartoons at the Symphony?

I did wear my Mariners socks tonight so I'm assuming that helped; you're welcome everybody. (Yarn bought at a long ago Stitch & Pitch!)

Foot in a handknit sock: teal, navy, white, & grey variegated.

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · 2d

On the way into the Reign match the folks behind me were saying to hope for fireworks from the Mariners game halfway through our match. Anyway I'm on the bus home now and I am a little afraid for everyone locked in a T Mobile Park time loop.

Okay guys listen up. Kanopy has added Once a Thief, and you should watch it unless you hate joy. It's Chow Yun-fat, Leslie Cheung, & Cherie Chung as OT3 art thieves, directed by John Woo. You deserve this!

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · 2d

Well that's their only advantage right now; at the half Netherlands would be winning even if no one but Bo Kramer scored.

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · 2d

I mean it's very relatable

I forgot I was rooting for the Netherlands as soon as they played La Marseillaise. Unfair advantage, France!

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · 4d

I was very much Team Netherlands during the Paralympics but we'll see if anyone else decides to woo me.

Yes boss I need to schedule some PTO; my Kanopy watchlist has gotten out of hand. (Thank goodness I have three libraries worth of tickets.)

Youth (Spring) was a sick day watch; maybe (Hard Times) will be my plan for next Friday

A review of Youth (Spring) (2023)

Called in sick & spent the day watching a four hour documentary about Chinese textile workers. Like one does. I understand this will sound wild, but it was honestly a great companion to the factory wo...

That YESSS was me seeing that Youth (Hard Times) was just added. Leave it to me to get excited about a (second) four hour documentary about Chinese garment workers.

jaci skellington @wickedjaws.bsky.social · Nov 21

Ooh, Youth (Spring) is now on Kanopy. Hope they get the rest of the trilogy.
