I can remember the first time I saw Cassavetes as a kid, in the Dirty Dozen. Mesmerising charisma.
Happy Birthday to the late John Cassavetes, born 96 years ago today

Anyone want a 40k Leviathan boxed set? I built, and almost painted, one miniature, otherwise complete. Make me a cheeky offer?

Noodling with Imperium Maledictum stories and finding once again that the joy of 40k as a #TTRPG setting is that you can make the most mundane plots sing by putting them into a totally Gonzo location

Ironically, it's total lack of cultural impact has been Avatar's primary cultural impact.
'No cultural impact' is hard to qualify but it would be true to say that I have never met anyone who has told me their favourite film is Avatar
Seeing posts about how the Avatar movies have "no cultural impact" is kind of funny. I mean, I personally haven't forgotten about the weird giant blue people planet movie.

The main fact that stuck with me after writing a book about British Xmases is that The Times was complaining about decorations going up in October back in the *1930s*, Selfridges has had decorations up in Oct since at least the 1950s and the whole “earlier every year” thing is generally bollocks
Middle class people love to pretend to be appalled at Christmas decorations being either early or fun to look at, the ideal Christmas tree is put up at midnight on Christmas day and decorated only by a black cloak and an unlit matchstick
