In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ronald Lacey didn’t know his face was going to melt and his reaction is genuine. I love learning film trivia on social media!

I’m an OG YouTuber 😎 My channel has been around longer than some of my subscribers have been alive.
I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…
I recently tripped and fell while running. I mentioned this in a WhatsApp conversation and joked that I’m too old to run at 45. Now I’m getting ads like this…
A weird side effect of seeing all these Hollywood blockbuster style AI videos is that I get less and less interested in watching actual Hollywood blockbusters. It’s kind of like when someone makes a parody of a genre that’s so accurate that it ruins it and you can’t see/do it the same way again.
I guess I should have read the measurements and not just looked at the picture…
The last three Spanish films I’ve seen; The Coffee Table, Kidnapped, and Cell 211 have all been so incredibly bleak. Spain are you ok?
Watched 131 films this year. Mostly older films that were new to me. Favorite from this year: One Battle After Another. Weapons is up there too.
I guess YouTube has a yearly recap now too. Also, everyone should be watching Taskmaster.
Saw a familiar joke in ’After the Thin Man’ and went down a rabbit hole of finding the earliest filmed version. Walk this Way:
Great YouTube video where a guy builds a 16mm camera from scratch. Explains really well how film cameras work. youtu.be/ZAtYJYfV2nA

Shot a 2 min short on Super8 with @lottalosten.bsky.social while we were in Sweden. Shot on Kodak Vision 3 50D with a Canon 814XL-S camera.
When you record a long YouTube video and don’t notice that the overhead mic is slowly sagging into frame so you have to reshoot it… 😞
Many times I’ve gotten these on the first try but yesterday I didn’t… 😳 (You only see a little bit of the image at first and more is revealed with each guess)
I’m an OG YouTuber. My channel is almost as old as YouTube itself 😎
I am once again here to tell you Iconoclasts is on sale on the Switch. No excuse no give it a go at this price. Cannot recommend this game enough. #blutoid #iconoclasts #switch
I just learned they’re doing a ”Dancing with the Stars” and ”Shark Week” mashup called ”Dancing with Sharks”. Like, how do you even make jokes anymore?
Very puzzled by this bit in ”The Spiral Staircase”. She’s standing in front of a mirror but in the wide shots it’s clearly not a mirror but a flat picture (without her reflection). Very obvious when camera moves. What could be the reason for this?
If you didn’t get that Bogart is evil in ”The Petrified Forest” the way they frame him against the background may give some subtle hints…
Made a video about a good movie I watched the other day:
Great Filmmaking: The Servant (1963)
