A Merry Murdoch Christmas (2015)

[maxime-damian]

last night I resolved one of the biggest mysteries of my life and I have no one to share this with because it's soooo fucking niche but

let's go back at least ten years in time okay, maybe less, but probably more. I am an only child who doesn't have cable TV so I'm a little bit disconnected from popular culture amongst my peers, except for the few times a year I get to spend holidays at my grandma's beach house. I don't like leaving the house, I have never had, so I use this time to watch cartoons. I'm watching all the fucking channels available, idc. zapping for hours and doing nothing

anyways, remember how back in the day cartoon network had this dynamic where you could vote what show they were gonna put next? yeah? iconic, right? so I'm laying in bed watching TV, my eyes are BURNING and I have this headache that's forcing me to close my eyes and drip away to a quick nap, all while they start playing a show I had never seen before in my life. it's the first episode. the show has a weird edgy vibe to it that tunes me in immediately because it looks dirty, and the characters are weirdly shaped and the animation is not that polished, but I am also falling asleep as I watch this. the plot is the weirdest fucking thing ever, and looking back, kinda bad. but I remember it vividly. the characters too, high school setting, three male characters, a red head with a green shirt, a tan one with gold chains, and a tall blond one who talks with an accent. I watch the whole thing and then knock the fuck out for hours.

I wake up. Confused as hell, arms tingling. What the actual fuck was that? Was it a dream??? It felt like one. Was the fucking name of the show?? Can't recall it. My brain is empty, everything feels like a distant memory now, the images are there, but for the life of mine I cannot put them in words. I need to find out what that show was.

TEN YEAR OLD QUEST TO FIND THAT SHOW. I tell people about it, my recollection of the plot, nobody knows what the fuck I'm talking about. I feel like I'm alone in this. I find myself submerged in hours-long Google searches trying to find this show. nothing. NOTHING. I forget about it for a long time, but every so often the memory comes back and I start to wonder if maybe everything was no more than a weird dream.

now, I came across a post on tumblr about nineties shows yesterday, which made me remember that after all these years I still haven't resolved this mystery, and led me to another deep dive of Google searches trying to solve the quest. I realized something. Canadian shows kinda have a very distinctive character design?? Think of total drama or sixteen. I started searching all of teletoon shows. Wait, red hair and green shirt combination?? FUCK I REMEMBER THAT. IS THAT IT? that's the main character, I REMEMBER THIS. HOLD ON LET ME CHECK THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE FOR THE PLOT.

I FUCKING FOUND IT

MORE THAN TEN YEARS AGO I WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE OF DETENTIONAIRE AND FOR THE LONGEST TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS A FEVER DREAM. NOBODY KNOWS THIS FUCKING SHOW, NEVER CAME ACROSS IT EVER AGAIN. APPARENTLY THERE'S AN ONLINE FAN COMMUNITY DEDICATED TO IT TOO?? IT HAS FOUR SEASONS?? how the FUCK did it take me so long to come across it again???

then, for the first night ever, I slept peacefully.

MURDOCH MYSTERIES — 17x03 “Murdoch and the Mona Lisa”

[haveyouseenthisseries-poll]

[canadachronicles]

Good King Wenceslas is one of my favorite carols. Thus, when one of my favorite Murdoch Mysteries constables, that lovely man Jackson, was determined to spread Holiday cheer, and trained a choir of constables to sing it, amongst other Festive songs, I loved him even more!

Happy Feast of Stephen, Happy Boxing Day!

Who is ready for tonight!!

Frank Bruno's Boxing as actual Punch Out characters

I have read a post made by @thorkelsongirl about this game called Frank Bruno's Boxing, which is basically a Punch-Out bootleg according to them with Frank Bruno, a British boxer who once defeated Mike Tyson twice. This game's main opponents have some pretty interesting characters who are similar to the actual Punch Out characters while others are made entirely 'original' so to speak. So I have the privilege to recreate these characters if they were actual (and official) characters in the Punch-Out lore. Of course, I won't be adding Frank Bruno in this series of mine since I am not comfortable about adding real-life people (except if I have to make a new boxer inspired by the character but not this one).

So, here are the opponents which I would like to call Branch D, each of them spit into different circuits of course:

He is also the one who teaches his dear older brother how to use a cell phone and a computer.

‘It was so hard to pretend not to know how to swim’

Stars Rebecca Ferguson, Steve Zahn, Common and Tim Robbins on the second season of Apple TV+’s Silo, shooting water sequences and leadership

It’s unique to join a show after it’s already been established, and I thought it was an exceptional show

It’s hard for Rebecca Ferguson not to have a deep connection with nature. She grew up in Stockholm and then moved to the south of Sweden to a remote fishing village, where she got to explore drastic changes in environments and fully embrace her love for the ocean.

So you can imagine why the 41-year-old Golden Globe-nominated Swedish actress — also a trained scuba diver — initially struggled to shoot the underwater sequences as the gruff mechanical engineer Juliette Nichols in season two of Silo, who is awkward in that element, afraid of water and can’t swim until she is forced to confront her fears.

“I was born in Stockholm and we have lots of lakes and an archipelago,” says Ferguson, who is also an executive producer on the series. “I’ve always loved the sensation of swimming and had that feeling that if I could have any superpower — mine was always flying — and I think swimming is similar. The movement is so unregulated, it’s so different from walking. I love the way it feels when you go underneath and you can’t hear anyone.

“It was so hard to pretend not to know how to swim,” says Ferguson, who also stars in three of the Mission: Impossible films: Rogue Nation, Fallout, and Dead Reckoning Part One.

“There’s a natural move, how your hands touch the water and how you paddle, how you move your feet. To be able to look clumsy, it feels silly and it’s also very hard to get into your head how you would move. To get into that mindset, I thought of animals and dogs and what we did when we were young.”

The 10-episode Apple TV+ post-apocalyptic science fiction series, created by Canadian television screenwriter Graham Yost, 65, and adapted from Hugh Howey’s popular New York Times bestselling book Silo trilogy, including Wool, Shift and Dust, is about a dystopian society where 10,000 people are living underground in mysterious circumstances.

The inhabitants of the silo do not know why they are there or who built the place in which they live and work. But they will face fatal consequences if they try to leave and find out.

In season one, Juliette (Ferguson) seeks answers about a loved one’s murder, and defies the authoritarian leadership of the silo. She was framed by the mayor Bernard Holland, played by Academy Award and Golden Globe-winning American actor Tim Robbins, 66, star of Mystic River, and Robert Sims, played by Academy Award, Emmy and Grammywinning American rapper and actor Common, 52, who stars in Selma and John Wick: Chapter 2, for violating the cardinal rule: If you say you want to go outside to “clean,” there’s no taking it back.

But when she survives and discovers a man named Solo in a deserted silo 17, played by series newcomer Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Award-nominated American actor Steve Zahn, 56, who appears to be the structure’s only survivor, a rebellion breaks out and Juliette realises she must find a way back to her home.

It’s led by Juliette’s former colleagues from the mechanical sector, Knox, played by American actor Shane McRae, 47, who stars in Gossip Girl, and Shirley Campbell, played by British actress Remmie Milner, 35, who stars in A Christmas Carol, and organised by the reclusive engineering genius Martha Walker, played by Olivier Award-winning British actress Harriet Walter, 74, who stars in Killing Eve, Succession and Downton Abbey.

“What I love the most about Juliette [Ferguson], is that she doesn’t feel like a superhero. She’s just tough. She’s just going to keep going until she can’t go anymore, and she’s going to solve that problem even if it kills her. We see more of her humanity in this season, and that’s fun to write,” says Yost.

For Zahn, who also stars in The White Lotus and joined the cast of Silo in the second season, the beauty of relationships and trust was something he also experienced off-screen too.

“It’s unique to join a show after it’s already been established, and I thought it was an exceptional show. I was excited to be a part of it but very nervous about it too because Solo is a broad character. You want to be good, believable and interesting,” says Zahn.

“But for some reason, I think due to the writing and Rebecca [Ferguson], it was easier than I thought. People were cool, it was a great environment to work in, and that’s why the head of the snake is always really important, and that was Graham Yost and Rebecca Ferguson.

“Now if those guys don’t show up, and they don’t know their stuff, or they’re angry, testy or whatever, that’s what you get from the show. But Graham [Yost] is good at creating a cool family of really awesome human beings.”

Season two of Silo comes to Apple TV+ on, November 15

I can't believe that a) someone bothered to dub Morozko into English and release it somewhere, b) they translated "Morozko" as "Jack Frost" and c) tst3k covered it.

I just gotta get some jumper cables and recharge my scepter!
