Her arms are. . . oddly positioned!

Yep. A throwback to the early days of AI (by which I mean six months ago).



I'm getting Audrey II vibes from the plants with mouths

and I wouldn't eat that.

(despite liking chips / fries)

The thicker chips you get in the UK are awesome on top of chip shop pizza, especially when they are a little bit squished into it. One of the foods over here that Kristi has came to love. I don't think I'd try it with those anaemic fries either though.

THE PAPERBOY (2012):
A total impulse watch, as if my subconscious clocked my reaction to HOUSEMAID's bonkers plot and then compelled me towards another major motion picture willing and able to tell HOUSEMAID to Hold Its Beer. Also I was in Orlando, FL and had spent the day at a park named "Gatorland" and THE PAPERBOY also takes place in Florida and really captured the whole vibe down there. My wife (who used to live in Florida) has spoken of this film to me for years, in hushed tones - not reverently, but more from like PTSD or something.

Zac Efron is the eponymous adult paperboy :question: who investigates a possible wrongful conviction by a bunch of racist redneck lawmen who falsified evidence and lied under oath. That's the plot but it's kind of besides the point, I suppose. More notably, John Cusack has a prolonged brutal sex (?) scene w/ a crying Nicole Kidman. Matthew McConaughey tells Cusack "I'm your pants" and then becomes the victim of a much bloodier PULP FICTION pawnshop basement scenario. Kidman squats over and pees on Efron's face. In the end, it's implied that the racist redneck lawmen were justified in their injust actions.  :buggedout:  :bluesad:

Director Lee Daniels (who is black, somehow) has made some movies I find really tasteless, including PRECIOUS, a film which, in spite of its grossness and meanness, managed to garner a lot of critical acclaim. Daniels followed it w/ this ghastly thing, which understandably nearly ended his career. He must be a nice person though because Cusack and Efron came back (joined by a lot of other famous people) and helped Daniels make THE BUTLER, a decent and serious film. Efron makes little impression here while Kidman and McConaughey act so hard it made me embarrassed and Macy Gray just acts very poorly (to be fair, she's a singer, not really an actor). Cusack, I must say, is pretty good as an appallingly grotesque person. The best performance and most interesting character belongs to David Oyelowo (MLK in SELMA), who appears all too little. The whole movie is chopped and screwed to s**t, suggesting that Daniels et al didn't even know what they were going for on-set and tried to make something of it in post. It is, if nothing else, a remarkable freakshow.

1/5    But again, it depicts Florida quite accurately!

I once had a 15mm undead army, although I used them in 25mm games of Warhammer Fantasy Battle as undead halflings. Wish I still had them. I sympathise with your backlog of figures to paint. During Covid I did clear my backlog, but its built up again since then lol (although I've been making good progress working through it).
