my beloveds,, , ,
One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:
- It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and
- Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.
He won.
im happy for him
He got sixth place actually
Whoops
youtube and google have evolved to the point where my half-assed typing could be recognized for the thing i actually intended
anyone else been following the saga of the guy whose neighbor complained to the zoning commission about his fence being too high so he cut down half his fence and then filled his yard with scary naked mannequins as revenge or is that just knowledge i’m personally living with
ROARING 20s AGAIN Y’ALL KNOW WHAT THT MEANS

Quiplash is the greatest game ever made because it allows for things like this and you can’t change my mind.
My first thought was “is that Kylo Ren” and my second thought was “oh fuck it actually is Kylo Ren”
Clue: The Movie's multiple endings are fucking classic and i will stand by that fact until the day that i die, but hearing that they only played one ending each in the theatrical release is the funniest fucking thing ever. imagine seeing a great movie and going to talk about it with your friends/family/coworkers but none of you can agree on how it ended. and they did this in 1985, the absolute madmen
