This one is a solid spooky season watch… I was sort of peripherally aware of Mia Goth, but man, she's a beast. She wrote this and starred in it and I reckon it'll stay with ya for a while

Pearl
Trapped on her family’s isolated farm, Pearl must tend to her ailing father under the bitter and overbearing watch of her devout mother. Lusting for a glamorous life like she’s seen in the movies, Pearl’s ambitions, temptations, and repressions collide.

NYC Production Boom Sees Permits And Spending Surge, Sound Stages Max Out: “We Are Bursting At The Seams”
New York movie and TV production has been booking with permits and spending surging and sound stages maxing out this year.

Patrick Stewart was of course an incomparable actor in movies and shows. But in my heart he will never top the time he got stoned with Sunny Ozell and let her film him instructing us all in the quadruple take.

Counting Dogs And Broken Films
Athena apparently knows exactly how many treats she’s supposed to get, while my dad’s old home movies proved a little less cooperative. Between updating my genealogy site and repairing a broken 8mm film, it was a surprisingly busy quiet week.

Counting Dogs And Broken Films – Bob Mueller
Athena counts her treats, I update my genealogy site, and a broken 8mm film sends me searching for a way to repair Dad’s old home movies.

These count as horror movies btw:
- Tremors
- Alien
- Jurassic Park

It took me about 1 to 2 hours and a #RaspberryPi 4 to set up my own #Jellyfin installation.
This is basically a „private #Spotify“ with your own music (also handles movies/shows but I‘m not using that). With Manet, there‘s also a very slick iOS app to use with the Jellyfin server.

Athena apparently knows how to count. At least, she knows when I short her one treat.
Meanwhile, I upgraded my genealogy site and managed to break one of Dad’s old 8mm films during digitization. Fortunately, it broke at a splice, and I found a clever way to repair it.

Maybe I can convince my wife to watch the Star Trek movies on the weekend.
Good bye Captain 🙁

This is one of the best data visualization sites I’ve ever seen. Super engaging, even on a subject I’m pretty blasé about (movies and actors and fame):

There are no good movies anymore.

Although I am going to quibble with some of its choices for Halloween/horror movies
I don’t know that I consider “Predator” a horror movie
OTOH - Dellamorte Delamore (“Cemetery Man”) hohohohoh, oh fuck yeah that movie is messed up ❤️😆

My kids wanted to watch a Blink-182 video ("ahaha they run naked") which led me to think about the preponderance of "college" in US culture.
College movies, college music, college as definition of success (even for dropouts) and so many other examples.
In other words, almost our entire world is broadly based on what male twentysomethings find ideal.
And we wonder why everything's going to shit?

Since we're on the topic of “disk almost full":

Another good candidate may be iChat History at ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat
All messages including pictures and movies of the last like 10 years are stored there. So if you use iChat (aka Messages) a lot this is BIG.

Ok, I gripe about Plex, but this is kinda cool. It has a Halloween playlist it created off the movies on my media server.
