  1. CW: CW: Uncharacteristically sweary. It's @dm's fault. 😂

    @dm

    Of course, that makes sense. I love an interesting, yet non-omniscient narrator.

    If you've seen #DeadLikeMe, George's voice (Ellen Muth's voice, that is) is literally the narrator of the entire story, yet narrator-George sees things that character-George isn't privy to, yet narrator-George is always privy to character-George's thoughts.

    Storytelling is fun. :D

  2. @corvus

    Wow, that is amazing. :o

    Kinda reminds me of "Dead Like Me" (2003) S1E05

    (Obvious warning, macabre, but also kind of a neat show)

    Faffing about on fedi at the moment. Might watch some Dead Like Me (2003-4) later. Interesting series. It's on Prime.

    Wanted to continue reading Ed Mastery by Michael W. Lucas, but I'm not feeling the gumption to tackle something technical right now (even though it's a very accessible book).

  4. #Movie #Recommendations: I picked up #DustBunny (2025) from our #SomervilleMA library - it was a romp!
    American #Independent #fantasy/#Weird #horror film, #BryanFuller's directoral debut, hitman #MadsMikkelsen enlisted to eliminate the monster that live under the bed of the 10yo next door. Kind of a Monsters Inc meets Twin Peaks in a lush Wes Anderson setting.

    Sumptuous visuals, Sigourney Weaver, never knew where the plot was going to go, hadn't seen anything about it before we hit play. Not for kids, extended fight scenes with lots of flashing, lots of kid-dream-logic, 84/82% 🍅 .

    Ah, I forgot the heavy influence of #DeadLikeMe on that post. If you haven't seen the series, that post may be confusing. ;)

  6. It's so prophetic that the episode* of "Dead Like Me" (2003) I watched this morning lists #Trump alongside #Hitler and #Pinochet as (paraphrasing) "assholes that the world inexplicably rewards for being assholes." 😄

    #DeadLikeMe

    Oh, found the actual [quote]:

    "In a fair world, behaving like a complete asshole would make you really unpopular.
    ("Assholes" montage, starting with Hitler)
    But this isn't a fair world.
    (second asshole (don't know who it is))
    And the assholes have followers, and disciples,
    (Pinochet)
    and assistants.
    (Trump)
    The assholes are treated like kings.

  7. Watched the last episode of #DeadLikeMe last night, and watched the direct-to-DVD movie early this morning.

    The final episode was a nice capper to the series, although it left a lot of questions unanswered (understandably, though).

    The movie (Dead Like Me: #LifeAfterDeath)?

    Absolute #shovelware. It did not make a lick of sense, whatsoever. The new actor played Daisy Adair with all of the subtlety of a dump truck, Henry Ian Cusick's talents were wasted on a character with zero perceptible motivation, Roxy somehow lost all of her street smarts in an instant after schmoozing with the police commissioner, and while George's character got some nice closure (although not entirely believable), the whole thing felt really off and bewildering.

    I think the only character that was fully true to the original was Mason, my personal favorite. Pretty hard to mess up a character that's already so utterly morally bankrupt 🤣

    But overall the character development for George, her mom, and her sister was nice. I'm thankful Joy finally became a tolerable character in the last view episodes. I kinda wanted to slap her throughout the first season. Just very typical unhappy wife schlock. She was actually likeable and sympathetic in the movie.

    Also the #Palm #Treo product placement in #2009 was hilarious.

    But yeah, don't ask me to summarize the plot, because I really couldn't find it. Nothing made a lick of sense.

    Not direct quotes, but they could have been:

    "Oh man, he gave us these new high-tech smartphones, but he gave me some bad info. I need to get a hold of him. I wonder HOW!!!"
    "You're such an evil person, because all you care about is money, even though you're treating us to this really lavish lifestyle, and you're not actually making money from any of this... this is so confusing, we're going to kill you!"

    This could very well be the worst movie I've seen, omitting things seen on #MysteryScienceTheatre3000 and Christian #glurge films like "God's Not Dead." (Christian Pop-Eschatology movies deserve their own category in the lowest circle of hell, appropriately enough)

  8. Currently watching "Dead Like Me" (2003)

    I'm not crazy about the premise or the main character, but the dialogue is really enjoyable, and I'd absolutely watch Mandy Patinkin read the dictionary. XD

    Currently a little over half-way through the show.

    I think my favorite little vignette is Mason weeping and saying, "I've got drugs in my bottom!" Absolutely bonkers hilarious absurd moment.

    But Mandy absolutely carries the show. I need to find other shows he's been in (that I can find on the few streaming options I have).

    Und die restliche Stunde?

    Da habe ich Sex."

  10. "Dead like me – so gut wie tot" ist aktuell in Prime Video enthalten.
    Mir hat die Serie damals gut gefallen. Ich werde sie nochmals ansehen.

  11. I can’t for the life of me remember where I got the tip, but quite possibly from Mastodon. Regardless, I just watched the first episode of #DeadLikeMe and it is really promising. A dark comedy currently on Amazon #PrimeVideo about a teenage girl who becomes a grim reaper. Punky and refreshingly low on the ‘Beautiful Hollywood People’ gauge. Almost like a British comedy.

    It’s from 2003 and I had never heard of it before, despite frequenting #scifi events.

  13. Pas dit goed gemaakte pareltje van 20 jaar oud ontdekt. Het is wel mijn ding met die donkere humor, en 'k heb het dan maar meteen helemaal gebinged. Geweldige cast, slim geschreven en goed geacteerd!
    't Is waarschijnlijk niet voor iedereen, maar then again, wat wel?

  14. Ich hoffe wirklich das bei den Trümmerteilen der #ISS nicht doch noch eine Toilette dabei ist... #DeadLikeMe

  15. Was für eine Todesart. Von einem Trümmerteil der #ISS erschlagen. 😅

    Das erinnert mich an die Serie #DeadLikeMe. Ein Mädchen wird von der Klobrille einer Raumstation erschlagen. 🚽Danach wird sie zur Seelensammlerin und muss die Seelen Verstorbener einsammeln. Das war sehr unterhaltsam.

  16. @VieilOgre @Saltybretzel One of my fav quotes from #DeadLikeMe is a guy talking about robots creating art. And says "when a robot commits suicide, then I'll be impressed." This is in-sensitive. But I think sums up the situation for me. AIArts are not expressions of heart. Maybe by the prompter, but their life experience is not in every stroke.
