"To figure out a character, I try to look for something that's not in the screenplay—a little secret they carry around with them. Sometimes it's allowed to show itself, sometimes it isn't, yet it's always there.

"Robert Downey Jr. and I both decided that our two guys had been lovers at one point. It wasn't referred to at all, but that was the one choice made in that film that I ended up being pleased with, because it informed everything that happened. There's a certain understanding between two people who've been lovers that's not there in two people who haven't." James Spader on LESS THAN ZERO (1987), Interview Magazine, 1993

There needs to be an "Austen adjacent men" bracket. So many hotties in Austenland (and other properties I guess) and no way to rank them.

it may not be a full bracket but your wish is my command - here are some austen-adjacent men to vote on...

We all know that Def Leppard is my obsession, but let’s take a moment to appreciate some other pretty boys from the 80’s.

Oh wow! I just finished 4-issue The Shade miniseries from 1997 which is collected in the Starman by James Robinson Compemdium One and holy crap was this limited series overall FREAKING phenomenal!

Narrated through the Shade’s personal journals, this miniseries covers an ongoing feud between the enigmatic and immortal Shade and a vengeful family of corrupt aristocrats known as the Ludlows which spans from 1838 when the family first found an amnesiac Shade after he first gained his powers, all the way up to the present-day in-universe (which was 1998 at the time…). What I love is how this series heavily fleshes out the Shade’s struggles with coming to terms with his immortality and gradual acceptance of his role as a villain due to the dark deeds he’s been forced to commit in order to survive ever since his first fateful encounter with the Ludlows, as well as a unique exploration about the legacy of generational trauma and inherited values with how this family actively indoctrinated each of its successors to hate the Shade due to a conflict dating back 150-years ago. Plus, seeing the Shade’s exploits across various historical time periods and regions, as well as his Golden Age rivalry with the Jay Garrick Flash (reinterpreting Shade’s generic supervillain exploits of robbing banks as actually being a deliberate game by the Shade designed to provide him a sense of purpose to his immortal and up-until-then meaningless existence by pitting himself others with powers who weren’t cursed to play the role of the villain like he has been).

Overall, The Shade was a brilliantly written miniseries which helps further cement the titular Richard Swift as one of my new favorite supervillains/anti-heroes in comics! I’ve been thoroughly enjoying James Robinson’s classic run on Starman so far this year, and the Shade’s character has been a major contributor to said-investment due to how multifaceted and enigmatic he is as both an overarching antagonist and secondary-protagonist to the series’ lead Jack Knight, aka the titular Starman!

Screen-based media is today’s dominant cultural form, yet the technologies used to create and deliver culture are racing ahead of those that preserve it, and collecting institutions' expertise is focused on physical artefacts. Concurrently, digitisation and preservation of Indigenous culture, knowledges and metadata is vital to ensuring that Indigenous stories are stored and told authentically and appropriately.

Happy Halloween!

Since we are (unfortunately) not getting a Halloween episode, I’m going fishing for Halloween headcanons from y’all to fill the void. These headcanons can be during the current canon, from pre-series, or post-series. It can be about costumes, favorite candy, spooky pranks, anything you can think of!

I’ll start:

- Cordell, Emily, Stella, and August would always have a family costume theme

- Before the Davidsons moved away, the families would have a decoration competition and open up their ranches for Trick-or-Treat parties. Whoever got the most guests would be the winner

- Bonham always says he’s going to be a cowboy for Halloween but Abeline eventually ropes him into an “actual” costume (”It’s fun, Bon. Enjoy it while you’re still nimble enough to.”)

'The Muppets' - Jason Segel and Company Get Jim Henson's Creations Just Right

Watching Kermit the Frog sing “Rainbow Connection” in “The Muppets” brought back one of my most cherished memories. “The Muppet Movie” was the first film I ever saw on the silver screen, and I consider myself fortunate that this was the case. I even brought along my own Kermit hand puppet with me, and I had him singing “Rainbow Connection” along with the real Kermit, and this was long before such…
