I don't often notice things like sound design in movies.
But when I was watching Dead Poets Society a couple of weeks ago, I kind of stumbled sideways into an example of the sound design running with the theme of the film in a really beautiful way. 🧵

If anyone has some they'd like to share, let's see 'em!

I'm not a fan of Ben Elton, but there is one routine of his I think of on, like, a weekly basis. The Ministry of Crap Design. "It's got to be deliberate. Any idiot could design a working spout."
Anyway. The whole bit is on YouTube (of course it is) - minutes 2:09-7:03 at this link:

If you haven't seen Deadloch yet, it is a TON of fun. A murder mystery with an astonishingly high body count that is also hilarious.
Yes, Redcliffe is... a LOT, but she settles down a little after a couple of episodes, and you *will* end up loving her.
Highly recommended. Can't wait for season 2!

🚨Deadloch heads: S2 of the Aussie crime satire/drama (it's good!) arrives on Amazon Prime March 20. Many chaotic Aussie weirdos return/debut. But HEADS UP they have added a Hemsworth (Luke)! This is not a drill! Kudos to the hair & costume team for this whole deal. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

We have First Snow! Not even any Warning Flakes this year, just woke up to white on the ground.
So of course, my neighbour is out with his leaf blower. 🙄

Once a stage manager, always a stage manager - but there are some times I wish I could turn it off.
When there is a sick performer on stage, for example, and I am in the *audience* and cannot do anything about it. 😔

I hate the title of this. With one or two exceptions, it’s just “have you done a list of extremely normal everyday activities” from 30ish years ago. Yes, I’m over 40, thanks for asking?
I have never done (9) (it's anti-social), (13) (Blockbuster never operated in my country), or (20) (those things were *expensive*).

My utter menace of an orange cat, who last week refused to eat for FIVE AND A HALF DAYS (and whom I syringe fed for three and a half) (we are not even going to talk about the vet bills😭) is currently climbing across me to try to get at my toast. All food is for him now.

I highly recommend both the TV show and the podcast. It will make you laugh and fill you with unspeakable rage at the same time. And somehow the fact it's a Canada/Australia co-pro makes it even better.
This is such a well made and interesting show, and available on CBC Gem. Stuff The British Stole gem.cbc.ca/stuff-the-br...

The British Empire stole a lot of stuff. Those objects are housed in museums and galleries across the world. We peel back the true histories behind those objects - and meet those who want them back.

Watching an old Mythbusters where they test the difference between dry balls and humid balls in baseball.
And there is NOT A SINGLE INNUENDO in the whole 42 minutes.
I wonder how much footage ended up on the cutting room floor to achieve that… 😂 And I bet the outtakes are AMAZING.

Surely, SURELY, it is time to weaponize “snowflake” back at them.

Today will mostly be adventures in syringe-feeding a 17-pound orange cat.
I am already wearing more food than has made it in his mouth.

Home from the vet. It’s 4am. And I just remembered I don’t have a toothbrush. 😭

Since I wasn’t going to be able to sleep anyway, we are at the vet. They won’t let me go in with him and I’m not happy about it.

Also, what the fuck is a “hop”? I’ve stood in the same room as Steven Spielberg and the King of Spain (not at the same time). Are those considered hops? Because that cuts a swath…
Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make
