Hello, everyone!
I am slowly going to migrate over here.
I don't know if I'll delete my Twitter account yet as there are many art and news accounts I follow there that I don't know will be here.
Happy to see you!
Frankenstein was so good!
Creativity always helps! That's good to hear.

I'm alright. General elections in my state were yesterday, and it went very well, so now I feel a little safer.
I've been learning my new job, transferred over on Monday - it's going ok! A lot easier on my body than my previous job.

5 Nov 2025 -- WSJ editorial board--Democrats Start Their Comeback (un-paywalled): "Trump rolled to victory in 2024 promising to reduce inflation & make middle-class life more affordable [but now] Democrats are turning the tables on affordability..." @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Opinion | Democrats Start Their Comeback
A warning for the GOP from New Jersey and Virginia on affordability and Trump’s unpopularity.

Silly me, I forgot it was Delegates, not Senate. Thank you.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.

If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.

Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.
Thank you!
How have you been, Test?
- what I'm seeing is what went into it, what I was like when I did them.
The result is merely for the spectator.

And I like that he explains that as well in the context of acting, and in the context of proceeding with most things in life.
Yes!
Especially in the context of art. The process is the meat of it. That's where the meaning is, not necessarily the end result.
I've done many artworks that, I hardly ever look at now that they are finished, but when I do -
Indeed!
It was really delightful.

And yes! I had heard he was on it and only watched the latest season for him. I'd say it was decent. He was being electrifying and interesting as always on screen. :)
Indeed! Some of his German works are really difficult to find, but I've been looking! Haha.
And yes, it's incredible. This role is a type of role he played just this once and never again. It is strange seeing him act like a young man! And yes, I agree with Patrick Stewart comparison!
Great to hear!
Yes, I'm also very into music and good audio, so I've got some headphones that will help me with that! Noise-cancelling and high quality :)
I wear headphones at least 50% of my day! Haha.
I would just take Skype’s UI and translate it over to Teams. It was rarely buggy and had all the features one could need.

- would love to bring up this film, because no one ever has!
I am interested in psychology and I know he is a little bit as well, and I'd like to see if I can get answers out of him about the film! Haha.
It's on YouTube as well.

Headstand/Kopfstand (1981)

@landylachs.com Another film I wanted to mention was his leading debut - Kopfstand! 1981.
I really love this film and it kind of sets up how he will do his roles for decades to come, meaning, he always turns whatever it is on its head, or turns the audience on their heads. If I ever meet him, I -
- I'm interested in seeing Jacob's performance, too! Neat :)

I bet 'Stoph's voice is pure delight on proper speakers!
Oh, I'm glad Christoph gets decent screen-time! I have briefly read from social media accounts that he's sassy in this role! But I'm trying not to read too much about it.
I've seen some of the interviews with the cast and him talking about that movement! -
Yes!
I've seen him in some films that weren't so great due to editing, script, plot, director, what-have-you, and he is always the best thing about them.

I don't know why they only did select. I guess because Netflix funded it. It deserves full theatrical release.
Oh, interesting!
I have seen it! I watched it 3 times over already as I, too, really, really enjoyed it. He is one of those actors that just lights up the screen and any scene. I like his interviews about the series, too, and the series itself is incredibly thought-provoking.
2 classics on my to-read!
Indeed!
You're welcome!
Any film you've seen of his that you particularly like?

I haven't! I've checked every theater around me, and none are screening it. I will have to wait until Nov. 7th when it streams on Netflix.
I hope you have a wonderful time tonight! Let me know how it is!
Wonderful! Report back, if you wish, on what you think! Would love to continue to chat over :)
