Conor Meets Abbot & Costello @conorvoice.com · Oct 21

Hi new folks,
I post about movies (Mostly old)
I post photographs
(Mostly dumb)
And I talk about TTRPGS
(So many)

If I don't follow you back straight away just interact somehow so I know you're there.

(If you *only* post US politics I might not follow back, my feed is pretty full on that front)

This looks lovely!

I had some Expensive Stuff™ happen this week so I shouldn't back just now but my job is voiceovers, if you decide to make a short trailer and think you could use me, I'd be delighted to donate the narration at no charge.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

I like these points!

One of the things I hate most about having spent my adult life in rented accommodation is being surrounded by bland off-white walls forever.

What’s the Venn of people who shrug at the suggestion that AI will affect the livelihoods of creatives with a “You can’t stop change” and people who insist office workers shouldn’t be allowed to WFH cuz of how much it hurts the income of people who own office buildings and downtown businesses?

Hah! I was thinking of her!
But the way the show portrays her is interesting in that regard. Wash loves her but I can't recall much acknowledgement of how attractive she is. She's Mals Tough Guy Pal, a bit?

This is the fight for my life. Please help me. I want to keep creating games and comics and I need your support to beat this cancer.”

Yeah, I think strong in spite of appearance is cool, though in Whedon's work it now feels a bit like unwillingness to give up his waif fantasy.

I guess to be fair Summer Glau may not be the size of Sigourney Weaver or T2 Linda Hamilton but she was a dancer right? So she's likely strong as hell.

Conor Meets Abbot & Costello @conorvoice.com · 13h

(sorry to jump in uninvited actually, I was really enjoying reading the discussion)

Conor Meets Abbot & Costello @conorvoice.com · 13h

Re: Cameron Vs Whedon in portrayal of tough women, for me one reason Cameron works better is his tough female protagonists are very real women.
Whedon's tend to be more magical waif with power types.
Cameron (jerk IMO, but I love his work) seems comfortable with *actual* strong women, like Bigelow.

Conor Meets Abbot & Costello @conorvoice.com · 15h

I love that!
That's so interesting.
I spent a couple of months around improv comedians once and the way they jam is endlessly fascinating to me.

Conor Meets Abbot & Costello @conorvoice.com · 15h

It is! The clothes, the interiors, all amazing. And the music is fantastic too.

I loved it

Conor Meets Abbot & Costello @conorvoice.com · 15h

Best Coast's
Crazy For You.

It's such a catchy, gorgeous-sounding album full of sweet and often funny songs, with a through line that seems (to me!) to form a fictional narrative about the amused feeling of dread as she realises she's falling (obsessively) for a friend.

Jessica Ritchey @jmritchey.bsky.social · 18h

It's a given in the music industry that "I've fallen in love!" albums are usually regrettable, and "I've gotten a divorce!" ones often have some of the artist's best work. So question for the group, what are the best "I've fallen in love!" albums?

The sketchy science + scientists in The Cell (2000) are the same universe of sketchy science + scientists as the ones from Face/Off (1997)

I’m helping with costuming for an “Eat the Rich” burlesque event and felt like Bluesky was the perfect place to source some ideas. (current ideas below)

Saw The Red Queen Kills Seven Times today, what a treat.

Was often confused as to who's who because almost every woman in it looks like a Robert McGinnis painting, but that's not something to complain about.

I know so little about Giallo, I guess I have some plans for the rest of October.

Barbara Bouchet stands in a blue outfit in front of a wall with horizontal stripes of blue and green. She has very angular features with a long face and pronounced cheekbones

Pia Giancarlo stands with a brick wall behind her, staring off camera. She has very angular features with a long face and pronounced cheekbones

Sybil Danning, Pia Giancarlo, Barbara Bouchet and another lady in soft focus sit in a diagonal line across the frame.

All have very angular features with a long face and pronounced cheekbones

Hello again everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I now have a Catch-All character sheet for World of Darkness. It's got a lot of interactive sections so you should be able to make most anything from the World of Darkness. 😄
