Watched I DON'T KNOW JACK (2002), the low-budget talking-head documentary about character actor/David Lynch mainstay Jack Nance last night, and have some thoughts. What little I knew about the guy was confirmed: he had a rough life and aged far, far beyond his chronological years due to decades of booze and rough, rough living. Cautionary tale + character study. I bought the hard-to-find DVD for $40 and am not likely to rewatch, but it's good to know that I can revisit it when the mood strikes and appropriate circumstances arise. #Actor#DavidLynch#Eraserhead#JackNance#Movies#TwinPeaks

Samsung TV Plus is free and has a TON of content, both live and on demand.
You will have to sign up for an account, but Apple's "Hide My Email" works just fine. The signup process is VERY buggy, but press on, you'll get there.
Currently watching "Jobs" on my Mac. Thought that was apropos.
We cancelled Prime awhile ago, so yesterday we decided to get Apple TV+ as we've never had it.
I am VERY aware of all the shows to watch- I've been making a list for months from friends, reviews, recommendations.
My question is, what good #movies are #streaming? I have no clue & would like to NOT scroll for a zillion years to see what they have. #Horror a plus, but all recs appreciated.

If you watched movies and TV in the 1980s, you knew Dabney Coleman for his comic roles in “9 to 5,” “Tootsie,” and “Buffalo Bill.” Coleman died Thursday at 92, his daughter Quincy Coleman told The Hollywood Reporter. “My father crafted his time here on Earth with a curious mind, a generous heart and a soul on fire with passion, desire and humor that tickled the funny bone of humanity,” she said in a statement. From Lily Tomlin to Ben Stiller, fellow actors are also paying tribute to the award-winning actor. THR has more: https://flip.it/huRaxh #Culture#Entertainment#TV#Movies
A while back, I re-created a graphic that featured in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was a very minor graphic in the film's cornucopia of special effects but I've always liked it. My original version of the BBC 12 logo contained a couple of errors (including the typeface), so I thought it was time to update it...
My friend suggested I picked the name brain grid game for my puzzle game. Entering this text into AI art generators yields some haunting images. A crossover of scifi dystopia and demoscene. #demoscene#sciencefiction#horror#mentalhealth#movies#aiart
We are supposed to think here that Deckard, the cop, the bounty hunter acting on authority, is the good guy.
Only he's not. He's a puppet, a stooge, inauthentic.
The good guys in Blade Runner are the replicants - created, artificial, self-determining, self-actualising, aware of their self-worth, authentic. They fight for their freedom against all comers.
