I love the optical illusion! But I hate Emily Dickinson, so this linky was a wash for me until the Tilda Swinton twitter account account, which I am about to read. I loved those tweets!
Linky on, my good man.
Oh wow. It turned out to be some dudes on the internet. And the writer was surprised..!
Dickinson delights me! I forgot I loved her! Thanks 🙂
No offence to the guy who re-created the Blade Runner magazine covers, but that seems to be a lot of trouble to go to when you can just screen-grab the lot of ’em from a DVD extra. (I just re-checked my copy of Blade Runner, and they all get full-screen close-ups. But maybe I’m the only one who bothered watching all of those hours & hours of documentaries on the five-disc version.)
Also: can we please have a five-year moritorium on anything to do with zombies? They’re getting to be more boring than vampires.
Loving Cleese. He did an audiobook for The Screwtape Letters in the Eighties as I recall – perfect casting, although I reckon Fry would be good, too.
OMG, relate WAAAY too much to the drinking game for overthinkers – thanks! LOL
