Stood in a line behind Paul Rudd while he peed at a urinal.

(The line was for the urinal, not him)
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.

10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

James Ransone’s performances were always a highlight of every project he did. Such sensitivity combined with a sort of wild energy that made every character he played feel truly alive: incredibly flawed, yet possessing some sort of quiet (and not so quiet) strength. He will be missed. So it goes.

Note: though she’s offering this for free, support her and add funds while you’re there.
