Really great review of 'Oops, All Draculas' by @unseeliejess.bsky.social which was a fun thing to land in my feed this evening :)

Worth a watch (and also a like and subscribe for the creator @thewereraven.bsky.social I reckon)!

I mean to be fair, he's a busy man with all that mining for oil, terrorizing potential son in laws and exploding asteroids, not much time to squeeze in practice with that media degree.

I love this film a LOT. One of my regular watches and definitely one of the better found footage films.

In the past hour or two signatures on this have nearly doubled.
It’s almost as if nobody wants a compulsory for all form of ID which will erode civil liberty and solve nothing.

...Also it takes about 3-4 hours and if I forget to take an antihistamine before-hand I spend MOST of that time itching all over like mad. 😬

Saga Mackenzie @sagamack.bsky.social · 18d

my last bleach, colour and cut was.... £120? I think? (that's about $160 I believe).

...at least we don't have to tip? 🤷😓

Needless to say I try to make it last as long as possible without going back.
