not to mention the capotain hat was commonly associated with the Puritans, so it giving rise to the hats for wizards & witches is a bit of a funny twist. fashion history is super interesting!

    As any cat will tell you, there’s something inherently magical about an object dangling on a string. This is the operating principle of the bat puppet. If a film is dragging, a bat puppet is a sure way to perk things up, in a strong film, a bat puppet will add to the fun. It’s hard to go wrong with a bat on a string.

    i do enjoy seeing a bat puppet so this was fun little niche listicle to find, with a couple movies i hadn't seen, and also a few of the movies are up for free in full on youtube (they all look to be available on archive.org as well if you prefer, i checked for each) 🦇

    i am moving out of my apartment today and will be living out of a hotel for a bit so i am very much looking forward to a weekend of not cleaning :bc_laughing: and they have a pool at the hotel so maybe i can even take a nice dip!

    i have been struggling with this too, i am still so frightened all of the time and i know it is part of what prevents me from forming connections with others.

    art is helping me a lot, i think, though i don't fully understand how yet. maybe it is letting me figure out little pieces of things that are in me and express them, or maybe it's the experimentation and play that i felt like i wasn't allowed to do earlier in life, or some combination of things. perhaps there is something like that for you.

    i really hope you have access to some good support systems. and please do be kind to yourself. our poor brains are so tired. i wish i could offer some better advice but i am stumbling in the darkness myself.

    yes please! Honor Among Thieves is a frequent rewatch for me so i would love to see another from these guys. it sounds like the script involves the same party, i was kind of hoping it would be a wholly fresh set of characters but hey, happy with the old faves too for sure.

    for appliances, probably a tie between kettle, rice cooker, and air fryer.

    for gadgets, my phin filter (it's a vietnamese coffee brewing tool, cost me like $2 and i have used it every morning for over 5 years!)

    hell yeah, seconded, Spawn soundtrack is full of bangers!

    really a lot of 90's movies had top-notch soundtracks, i will even go out on a heretical limb and say i liked the soundtrack for The Crow more than the movie.
