Please enjoy these photos from last night’s insane Q and A for the glitched ‘Destroy All Neighbors’ screening at the SF Sketchfest!

Other Minds 26, Well Part of It Anyway

Other Minds 26, Well Part of It Anyway

Chinatown’s Historic Great Star Theater I have attended nearly every OM annual concert series since 2012. But pesky adult responsibilities intervened for the last few years. Having had to miss OM 25 due to my out of town work I resolved to make it to OM 26 now that I am back in California. However circumstances conspired such that I was only able to make one night of this essential new music…

I really think we as a society don't give enough credit to performers who thrive in an ensemble situation. It's always obvious when an actor is excellent front and center, and we're constantly rewarding that skill set with awards, but god, there's something to be said for the power of a true ensemble piece. People who are so good at reading one another and playing off what they're given, tossing the ball and knowing when to turn it into a grenade. As much fun as it is to watch a solid monologue or a solo show, I always find it so much more thrilling--and so much more authentically lived-in--when there's an ensemble just feeding one another in every single scene. Who do I look at? What is everyone else learning and deciding even from the background? This is what life looks like, and actors who really shine in that environment have really become my favorite to follow.

"Great to see you, Cyrus!"

"Isn't Starlight Beacon amazing?"

Just got back from watching episode 1 and 2 of The Acolyte, and I am VERY HAPPY to report that they were amazingggg!!!!!

This is an incredibly strong start to the show and we are in for a TREAT omg! Like seriously, if you weren't excited yet... GET EXCITED!!! Here are some of my spoiler-free thoughts:

- first of all, seeing The High Republic leap from the page to the screen is nothing short of amazing and had me smiling. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, so that's all for now.

- I don't want to say too much about the plot, so I won't, but I think this is a very nice idea!!!!! And so far, executed very well!!!

- the characters... I am already obsessed and have favorites! Sol, Yord, and Jecki are really amazing, and I already love their dynamic!

- not sure if this was the case because I saw it on the big screen, but this show has a very cinematic feel to it, something that I found lacking from some of the latest Star Wars live-action shows. I think this is also helped tremendously by the world building and all the characters roaming around. SO MANY ALIENS AND CREATURES 🤩 Not sure if they used the Volume for this show, but I don't think they did. And like Andor, you can tell, it's so good! I think the Volume can still deliver nice visuals but in small doses...

- the pacing of the story is really well done too. It puts you in the middle of the action and the story from the get-go and really did not slow down for these first two episodes. Again, something other Star Wars live-action shows have struggled with in the past. Let's see how the season progresses, but so far, so good!

- lastly, fight choreography... I thought it was soooo cool!!!! To see the Jedi rely on their hand-to-hand combat so much was awesome! I love me some lightsaber action, but this was so well executed, I loved seeing it. Really cool idea and excited for all the other upcoming fights in the show!

So yeah, I am very VERY HAPPY about the show and cannot wait for the rest of the episodes! It's going to be a fun couple of weeks ahead!

genuinely except for maybe a passing interest in seeing camelot (which is closing too soon for me to do anything about anyway) i haven't wanted to actually Go To New York to see smth on broadway since the music man. i am going to do everything in my power however to go see this cabaret tho

[white-weasel]

I’m kinda getting the urge to pick up basketball again because it’s something I really enjoyed when I was younger but like….. idk where or how to go about that

[callixton]

well i’ve started daydreaming about Him during classes except like. not stories or his characters literally just Him. which i think is a low and also why i kept batting away such thoughts to focus on syllabi and such

madoka magica x enstars au

okay, so my brain has been dragging me into the realm of crossover aus and im just having myself a time imagine the aftermath of Element right. but from Mika's point of view. and there's kyubeys because everyone in enstars is mentally ill. and now imagine mika being approached by a kyubey. only bad things will happen.

And that's precisely what I'm here to write about! I am so sorry ValkyriePs and OddballsPs. Oh and NatsumePs specifically. And maybe NazunaPs. Who knows?

Went and saw Return of the Jedi with my partner this weekend. It was an awesome experience and a truly nerdy day. And there was a pretty entertaining kid sitting behind us. During the course of the movie, he said:

"Do you think this time the empire will win?" (Said before the movie started despite saying he seen the movie multiple times because "it might be different this time!"

"Come on, just kill Luke already!" (Yelled at the guards)

"Yay! Eat her!" (First rancor scene)

"Don't kill Jabba, he's the best!" (Said with much indignation over Leia strangling Jabba)

"Is this where Yoda dies? Come on, die already!"

"Luke should join him."

"Yay! Shoot down Luke and Leia! No! Don't die! You're supposed to shoot them!" (Very upset that the scout troopers died on Endor)

"Stupid fucking bears! Die already!!!" (Kid is like nine, like wtf)

"Yeah, kill the rebels!"

"No!" (Shouted when Vader yeets the Emperor into oblivion)

"I cried when they blew to the death star! They shouldn't have done that!!! The empire is the best!"

Needless to say, I forget what an "experience" seeing movies in a theater is.

Background blog facts that are no less important but that I don’t have enough thoughts to make full headcanon posts about yet:

The original task force Viking was commissioned for was called Strike Nine, and was about 65/40 Human/Reploid.

Two other members of Strike Nine - both Human - helped Viking disappear after he’d decided to leave the task force.

Farraday Labs has an ongoing lawsuit pending against Allen Adagio of Adagio Music for breach of contract after they pulled the Reploid Acoustikat out of early observation without permission.

Issac and his wife Amari originally only got married for the legal and tax benefits.

Issac Farraday lied on his resume to get a job working under Dr. Cain when Reploids first began to be mass produced.

Issimo and Acoustikat know of each other by X4 and are slowly starting to get to know one another post-X8. Neither of them know about Viking.

Despite both of them attending Black Lake in an overlapping time period, Issimo and Viking have never met.

Farraday Labs relocated to one of the smaller orbital colonies, called “Vaalbara”, during humanity’s expansion into space.

Octavia Xu also relocated to the Vaalbara colony, where she met with Issac and Amari Farraday, and worked with them to create Remedy based off of old plans she and Lester had been working on for their third child.

Remedy used to get in mild trouble with the local law on Vaalbara for using her Copy Ability to cheat at Hide and Seek by mimicking the forms of nearby Reploids (including those in law enforcement).

Still be wondering how people watch Rogue One and don't see the romantic tension between Jyn and Cassian.

I saw an article that described it as "blink and you miss it" and I think that's probably true.

The moment it becomes very clear that something is there is when Cassian gathers all those people in support of Jyn. The little circle around each other and leaning in with Cassian saying "Welcome home"

I think it's at that moment the audience should be going "OH"

But it seems like it just goes right over peoples heads and then they get confused/annoyed when it becomes even more obvious nearing the end.
