Need a costume this year?
  • Oddly enough, it's not even that far off from what really happened:

    What happened was that director Peter Jackson was watching Noble munch on these delicacies as part of his rehearsals, and for the sake of continuity, Noble had to make sure that there’s a sort of rhythm to the way he ate the food. Jackson got notably excited with the cherry tomato bit, and that was how the scene made its appearance.

    “So I’m sitting there thinking, ‘ok…with this food I’m going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5…1, 2, 3, 4, 5…’, so I could repeat it, the timing would be perfect. Jackson must’ve been watching through the monitors and he saw me squirt something out of the side of my mouth. He got terribly excited! He ran on to the set and said, ‘mate, what you just did there?” ” What was that, mate?” “When you squirted…can you do that?’ I said ‘yes’. ‘Can you go like hmff?’ I go, ‘yes’. He got terribly excited and waddled away again. That’s how that actually came about, because he was watching me rehearse to try and get my continuity right,” said Noble.

  • Smell of burnt cannabis alone no longer justifies a police search of a vehicle, Illinois Supreme Court rules
  • This might not be completely true, but I was told by a former cop that technically anything obscuring the driver's view through the windshield is something they can use against you. Hanging air fresheners, bobble heads, a mounted dash cam... it's just one of those things that isn't usually enforced.

  • Facebook
  • I mean, there is still kind of a point being made with respect to monetization of social media... something which is insanely controversial on Mastodon.

    Bring up something more minor like showing ads to cover server costs and it's like tossing a grenade in and shutting the door.

  • Bangkok hospital director promises 'gas chambers' for defiant smokers
  • I'm not entirely sure you'd want someone smoking around a large supply of oxygen, either.

    To be serious, though, I've seen some places where they seal the entryway to a dedicated smoking room a bit better and vent the smoke outside. I feel like that would be safer/more practical than smoking booths.

  • The Deadlock Debacle Shows That Still Nobody Understands Games Journalism, Especially The Journalists
  • Not necessarily gaming related, but I remember their early coverage of every new Apple product as somehow more masturbatory than anything MacWorld put out. Then you've got their infamous complete mess of a PC build video and everything that followed that. I guess at least they aren't written by AI yet?
