Kenneth Branaghs Hercule Poirot filming in Venice
Branagh was spotted filming his 3rd Poirot film, A Haunting in Venice, riding on a Venetian gondola, on January 8 2023. Film crew was recording the scene from boats ahead, while a crane with a camera/sound equipment flew towards Branagh. The footage taken by lucky Tiktok user luigibrugnaro (titled “Hercule Poirot filming in Venice”) shows Branagh gesticulating at the crane (giving it directions?).

id love to write something abt how similar the pre-raphaelite and 90s heroin chic eras are

how theyre both trying to capture “real life” but in the most contrived and glamorized way ever

I don't think I am supposed to think the Guillotine monster is supposed to look fun, but I think it looks like a Cuphead enemy. Gill O'Tean in Bastille My Beating Heart!

Illustration by George Cruikshank who is apparently the originator of a lot of old timey pictures I find amusing.

Also very important

hi im complaining about tiktok again and i know this has been said a million times but i despise how the self-censorship that got really popular on there is quickly becoming the norm. why is my podcast that i listen to that is by and for adults and swears regularly censoring the word "sex" in its episode descriptions on spotify, a platform where they dont even censor officially uploaded song titles for songs like "fuck the pain away." why are there book blurbs using "unalive" completely in earnest. why are people on twitter writing s3x. youtubers can at least handwave having to bleep terms like "heroin" bc that's specifically a youtube problem but why in an era where everyone is handwringing about how everything is Literally 1984 do people not seem to care about grown adults gleefully regressing into homestuck typing quirks and ugly babytalk
