Not ONLY permission, but $$moolah$$. I mean, many many artists barely scrape by...have to get jobs to support them making art. And now these people, with no artistic talent, want to steal that art so they can then monetize it themselves.

Yeah, that tracks with big business and capitalism.

I mean, they want me to get THEIR permission and give them $$ if I use images of big studio properties on t-shirts and jammies.

We all wanted Trump to be more pro-woman; we just didn't expect that woman to be Ghislaine Maxwell

What I don't get is that Trump is, like, the GOP world's "Steve Rogers," "Capt. America." Their charismatic guiding light. They hear him speak and get energized.

I listen and only hear the ramblings of a narcissistic buffoon...barely intelligent enough to communicate. Can't complete a sentence.

And old ones too! AbFab, Lovejoy, Keeping up Appearances, Rising Damp, Red Dwarf...so many

I like so many UK shows that I want to visit the area. Vera, Lovejoy...and really that cove where Doc Martin was filmed.

Yes!! I was glad to have found that on BritBox

Glad to spread the word! Yeah, my wife and I like cozy shows like this. This and Doc Martin and Lovejoy.

All in the Family was a lesson in how racism and bigotry can make people angry and miserable. Great clip from Carol O'Connor describing his character Archie Bunker

Vanity Fair asked me to talk about visual effects, and it was my great honor to show off some of ILM’s terrific work over the years.

SO cool.

MAGA exists in some complete alternate reality where their dementia-brains see things that NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD sees. But their hive-mind imagination has them all convinced they are seeing things that are not there.

Shane Ross aka Mr. Snippy-snip 🎞⚔🎞 @comebackshane.bsky.social · 2d

It is? Name a street or intersection, that is not that one block strip that contains the building housing ICE, and I will have one of my half dozen friends, my brother, my daughter, go there and film it...to show you that Portland is, in fact, NOT burning to the ground.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Hetty Wainthropp. Autocorrect!

Shane Ross aka Mr. Snippy-snip 🎞⚔🎞 @comebackshane.bsky.social · 3d

After Patricia Rutledge passed, I found a show she did after KEEPING UP APPEARANCES…”Hetty Winthrop Investigates.” Her in a serious role is an odd thing. It also stars as her assistant, a very young Dominic Monahan in his second screen role. Not long before he became famous as a hobbit.

I remember this! Because the first time I saw that movie was on TV. Then, years later, rented it with friends and was like, "Wait...this movie is WAY different than I remember it." It was bizarre

Sad news...Dame Patricia Rougledge has passed. I'm a huge fan of KEEPING UP APPEARANCES, and she also appeared in TO SIR, WITH LOVE alongside Sidney Poitier. .

In Heaven now, telling Jesus to "mind the lady on the sidewalk."

Patricia Routledge: Keeping Up Appearances star dies at 96

She also starred in Alan Bennett's TV monologues and played the BBC's amateur sleuth Hetty Wainthropp.

This would be funny if it wasn't so fucking scary. Portland is the furthest thing from a "war zone." There is no "reign of terror." The fact that she said this, and people believe it, chills me to the core. American Democracy is being challenged, and is failing.

Cast, director, high production value... but beyond that, that's above most feature film budgets. NO CLUE

Hmmm...no. The actor playing the judge has a beard, and the actor listed as the judge in that episode does not. hmmm

Shane Ross aka Mr. Snippy-snip 🎞⚔🎞 @comebackshane.bsky.social · 9d

Might be Episode 107: No Big Thing

I wish I knew. Taken MANY years ago, when the G4 channel was still a thing.

Corrupt cop leads Michael to see the corrupt judge in this small town. I thought the guy on the left was a henchman, until he wasn't in any other camera angle.
