I saw Chingachkook's blue war club--it has little blue-painted metal strap-thingies holding the three pieces of it together, and it's just painted plywood! And not even pre-Revolutionary plywood, at that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know Vengeance Unlimited. Looks interesting.
Made me think of G v. E, but I can't recommend that to anyone, since I found it boring.

I guess some good came out of watching Jay Harrington's crap comedy Partner(s) after all, as I had an epic dream about being immersed in an episode of The Inside last night. It's not all clear to me now, but there was an innocuous accountant who was really the killer with a chamber-of-horrors basement, Rebecca figured out that they had the wrong creepy van under surveillance, and the climax involved an impossibly steep hill covered in Italian palazzos and a decrepit red stone castle.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
You know, television and movie props are strangely disappointing up close, for the most part; a face-to-face viewer isn't the intended audience, nor is two feet the intended viewing distance.
Yeah, like how when they say on teevee that they have to make various shows "HDTV ready" what they are talking about is the sets. They have to refit everything with something other than popsicle sticks and painted-on duct/electrical tape.

And the star's faces. Apparently plastic surgery and flaws are much more obvious at high resolution.

I never knew how fricking true that thing about the ravages of HDTV on celebs was until I was in Best Buy and saw Best Buy's OWN COMMERCIAL! on one of its HDTVs starring the Black Eyed Peas and OMG, Fergie? Is fucking STANK. She scared me. I would have guessed she was ten years older if not for the fact that she was on Kids Incorporated.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
HD is also not kind to compositing, which is bad news for anything set in space.

Could you see her pee more clearly?

I could see her thinking about peeing.
