Muppet for scale conundrum.
I always thought the Gorgs and Sweetums were the same size. But based on the Muppet Family Christmas, Kermit is the same size as the Fraggles. And the Kermit to Sweetums ratio ≠ the Junior Gorg to Gobo ratio.
So therefor the Gorgs are larger than Sweetums.
Muppet Math!

A study of select music videos directed by Steve Barron who also happens to be the director of my favorite film of all time, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990).
Let’s explore how he frames movement, mood, and lighting, tracing how those same directorial instincts show up in #TMNT. 🧵👇

Is there a way, that when my kids ask me like 30 questions all at once…I can force an ad to play on my glasses that they have to watch before they get my response?
Like an ad for cleaning their room or for food they refuse to try?

A Cook’s Tour by Anthony Bourdain.
I bought this after watching a few episodes of his first Food Network series and fell hard for his outlook and knack for telling food-centric stories. Like Ellison, he’s a dick, but he owns it.

Samantha Slade: Monster Sitter by Susan Smith
I’ve talked about this book before, but it was one of my bridges to horror fandom.
That said, this is my childhood copy and one I stupidly almost lost because of my collecting habit!

I’m not just a tourist to aspects of Joseph Merrick’s life. His story is incredibly horrific and sad, and oddly comforting.

Shatterday by Harlan Ellison
When I was 19 I was an avid reader, but singularly focused on a few authors that were fun but not challenging. Then a friend I had a crush on lent me her copy of this book and it hit me pretty hard…

Not my favorite King book, but it was literally my first and first read. My sister bought it (and The Shinning) for me at a thrift store in FL in 1987 because I wanted to start reading big books.
