Six years ago today I started “25 Years at 24 Frames" ( #25Y24F ), a project to reconstruct the approximate chronological movie-watching timeline of the first 25 years of my life (1968-1993), relive those films through re-watches, and reflect on how those experiences shaped me. 1/

#Legend: Not the best fantasy film from the '80s, and not a "Tom Cruise movie" as we come to think of them now, and not much substance, but good lord the production design, and good lord Mia Sara, and good lord Tim Curry as Darkness (in tremendous makeup that today would be all mocap and CGI).

I still have three cans left in the fridge. No joke.

Also, one summer my daughter and I concocted what we called "Prison Tab" - a mixture of Coke Zero and violet syrup that gets really close to the taste (although it's been a while - we'd have to re-test the ratios).
Tab (1963-circa 2020): A sugar-free cola from Coca-Cola, and the company's first ever "diet" drink, clocking in at 1 calorie. Famous for its trademark pink can, and long-running debates about the safety of its artificial sweeteners

Got thru DALLAS 31-ep "Dream Season." I liked it (and thought Linda Gray did her best work to date).

I wonder when it was decided it would be a dream. As the season progressed, vents occurred that fit what Pam would have dreamt (Mark's return, emerald mine, JR nicer, Cliff nicer, Jenna alone).
Wrapped S08 of DALLAS. I'm at a decision point.

S09 is called "Dream Season" b/c the creators pulled the Mother of All Retcons™️ by saying in S10 that everything that happened in S09 was a dream (in Pam's head). This means S08 leads directly into S10.

Do I watch S09 anyway or go straight to S10?

#TheLateGreatPlanetEarth: Based on best-seller of same name, this "documentary" basically says since some Bible prophecies came true, all will come true, and earth is doomed.

Orson Welles' narration gives *sound* of legitimacy, and mushroom cloud near end is nice touch, but it's all dull bullshit.

"Eh...what's up, Doc?"

Starting in Feb, Looney Tunes will be a part of @tcmtv.bsky.social regular programming.
That is what's, in fact, up.

For the 1st time since they originally debuted, Bugs, Daffy, et al will appear on the schedule alongside Cagney, Crawford et al.

Incredible, ain't it???

#BlackArrow: Set during the War of the Roses, this Disney (Channel) live-action film, based on the Stevenson novel "The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses," has some serious talent (including Oliver Reed and Donald Pleasence), but is mired in sluggish drama and insufficient swashbuckling action.

Watching YouTube, I feel like we've reached Philip K. Dick levels of obfuscation regarding what's real and what's artificial.

If one doesn't exist already, we need a word for the paranoia resulting from not knowing if an image or video is real or AI-produced (or staged for that matter).

#BeverlyHillsCopII: Axel is back in the 90210 to help crack a string of high-end robberies.

While technically a sequel, Tony Scott's fabulous style makes this feel more like a cousin than a direct descendant. Eddie is still great, with some of that boyish charm replaced by movie star confidence.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.
Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution.

Is that right?

Very artistic and aesthetic, Rama Duwaji portrayed by The Cult Magazine.

Zohran Mamdani and Rama Duwaji will undeniably be the new iconic duo in America.

#NoRetreatNoSurrender: Sure, it's Temu Karate Kid, but instead of Miyagi, the lad learning martial arts is taught by the ghost of Bruce Lee, who looks nothing like Bruce Lee!

Supersaturate the rest with '80s tropes and top it off with a showdown against young JCVD.

Magic Johnson was the grand marshal of the Rose Parade today, and as someone who remembers his November 1991 HIV announcement: if you had told anybody that day that he would be alive and healthy 34+ years later, I don't think they would have believed you. Medicine and research—they work.

#PokerAlice: Rich Boston card sharp and her dandy cousin travel west. Adventure and love await.

Liz is radiant (natch), and winning a brothel in a poker game is cute, but 2/3 in it pivots hard into her cousin's emotional dependence on her. It's a level of sap that undermines the fun before it.
