"I have brain cells that will remember this evening, and I want them *DESTROYED*!"😬

Absolutely no 'forced perspective'/viz-trickery here, just casually-available at the local train-station shop: A whopping, bad-day-erasing (possibly *life*-erasing) four LITERS of "What's in YOUR backpack?"😬

The exquisitely-rendered LOOK of weary resignation on her face; female or male, we have ALL had This Guy try to start talking to us at least once. 🫣

'<House>' (1985; not the Japanese one): A bonkers, true horror-comedy *and* the 'Greatest American Hero' guy, playing things as straight as they deserved being played--the 'audience critics' were absolutely smoking crack with this one 🧐 😎 🤘

Alien: Earth’s ‘New Siam’ vision of 2120 Bangkok is pretty Authentically great; they nailed it—but of course, in true 2020s Sci-Fi tradition (a la the San Francisco of ‘Kelvin-#Trek’), Bad Stuff immediately happens to the city in question 😱

THE NULL SET LIST

"In the recumbence of depression, your information-gathering system collates its intelligence and reports to you these facts: (1) there is nothing to do; (2) there is nowhere to go; (3) there is nothing to be; (4) there is no one to know."
