I've probably posted this before, but it remains one of the greatest paintings ever made.

^Kinda gives me echoes of Bucket Head from Gremloids.....^

He started out as Lord Buckethead, until he got stopped by copyright, so he created Binface instead.

Did KFC sue him or.... 😅

no, Todd Durham, the creator of Hyperspace aka Gremloids, which had the character originally. He relented later, but by then Lord Binface had moved on, and this led to a Lord Buckethead vs Count Binface face off in 2019 in what can only be called the Battle of the Receptacles.

36. The Favourite (2018)

Ostensibly set in 1705, although with a lot of creative anachronisms

YOUNG WASHINGTON (2026) - As a movie, there was a lot to like here.  It highlights George Washington's role in starting the French and Indian War, as well as his incredible heroism at the Battle of Monongahela, where he was the only British officer not shot out of the saddle despite being in the heat of action the entire day.  Well cast, good acting, and some great action sequences.
   Historically, it got a lot of things wrong, from the uniforms to the presence of artillery on the field to some major monkeying with the timeline of events.
   But overall, it was a solid effort, highly entertaining, and hopefully it will encourage audiences to do a bit more research on the events it covers.

Didn't think there would be another movie with "Driller" in the title, but there are a couple.
