I make films, and write stories, and dabble around with art, and all that creative nonesense.

When one of your icons passes, it makes you stop for a moment. 90 is a great age, so no sadness but instead rejoice in the life he led and the happiness he brought others. #RIPWalterKoenig #LLAP

We just lost a legendary animator today 😔 Some animators bring characters to life. Loyd Price helped shape entire worlds that generations grew up loving. đŸ•Šïž Aardman animations has announced the passing of Loyd Price, a gifted animator, mentor and longtime creative force who dedicated more than 30 years to the studio. Over the decades, Price rose to become Aardman’s Head of Animation, helping guide both the performances audiences saw on screen and the generations of animators who followed him. His career stretched across some of stop-motion animation’s most beloved films, including: - Chicken Run — Supervising animator - Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit — Supervising animator - The Nightmare Before Christmas — Animator - Wallace & Gromit: A Close Shave — Animator - Wallace & Gromit’s Cracking Contraptions — Co-director and writer - Shaun the Sheep Movie — Animation supervisor - A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon — Animation supervisor - The Pirates! Band of Misfits — Animation supervisor - Early Man — Animation supervisor - Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death — Animator - Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget — Animation supervisor On The Curse of the Were-Rabbit alone, Price led a team of 30 animators, helping bring Wallace, Gromit and an entire cast of characters to life frame by painstaking frame. His work as supervising animator also helped shape Chicken Run, while his career connected Aardman’s classic shorts to its modern feature-film era. Stop-motion is built one tiny movement at a time. Loyd Price spent decades making those movements feel alive, and teaching others how to do the same. The characters will keep moving. His influence will keep moving with them. Rest in paradise, Loyd Price. đŸ€

Keanu Reeves a fĂȘtĂ© ses 62 ans le 2 septembre 2026. Sandra Bullock, sa partenaire dans le film Speed, dit de lui : « Son pĂšre l’a abandonnĂ© lorsqu’il avait trois ans, sa fille est morte Ă  l’ñge de huit mois, sa compagne est dĂ©cĂ©dĂ©e dans un accident de voiture, son meilleur ami a succombĂ© Ă  une overdose
 Et malgrĂ© tout cela, il n’a jamais perdu sa lumiĂšre, son monde ne s’est jamais effondrĂ©. Lors du tournage de The Lake House, il a surpris une conversation entre deux assistants : une femme en pleurs expliquait qu’elle risquait de perdre sa maison si elle ne payait pas 20 000 dollars. Keanu a aussitĂŽt transfĂ©rĂ© l’argent sur son compte. Avec les gains de la trilogie Matrix, il a offert plusieurs millions de dollars Ă  l’équipe des effets spĂ©ciaux, qu’il considĂ©rait comme les vĂ©ritables hĂ©ros du film. Refusant de recourir aux cascadeurs sauf pour les scĂšnes les plus dangereuses, il a remerciĂ© chacun de ces “hĂ©ros” en leur offrant une moto Harley-Davidson. Aujourd’hui encore, il se dĂ©place en mĂ©tro ou en bus quand c’est plus pratique, sans jamais Ă©prouver de honte. De nombreux hĂŽpitaux affirment avoir reçu des dizaines de millions de dollars de sa part. Pour certains films, il a acceptĂ© de renoncer Ă  90 % de son salaire afin de permettre Ă  la production d’embaucher d’autres acteurs. En 1997, un paparazzi l’a surpris assis dans la rue Ă  cĂŽtĂ© d’un sans-abri, partageant son petit-dĂ©jeuner et Ă©coutant son histoire. Tout ce que nous savons de Keanu Reeves, ce n’est pas lui qui nous l’a dit, mais les personnes qui ont bĂ©nĂ©ficiĂ© de son aide et de sa gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ©. Il n’a jamais cherchĂ© Ă  en parler. MalgrĂ© toutes les Ă©preuves qu’il a traversĂ©es, il aurait pu adopter une vision sombre et dĂ©sespĂ©rĂ©e de la vie. Mais non : il a choisi de rester un homme bon, dans un monde qui ne l’est pas toujours. » Plus qu’un acteur talentueux, Keanu Reeves est un vĂ©ritable modĂšle d’humilitĂ© et de gĂ©nĂ©rositĂ© â€ïžđŸ™

Why the fuck is FIFA breaking with protocol to allow Trump to present the World Cup Trophy to Spain or Argentina today — especially after he got caught cheating for Team USA and corrupted the entire tournament? This white supremacist privileged bloated piece of shit is just ONE of three co-hosts but hogging the limelight — a narcissistic grifter who can’t help but steal the ENTIRE spotlight. FIFA sold its soul and broke protocol so this convicted clown can waddle onto the MetLife pitch this afternoon like a bloated king and present the trophy. What about co-hosts Fuck Mexico and Canada? Fuck them — Trump demands all the praise. The same cheater who tried rigging it — but ended up jinxing it — for Team USA — now plays gracious host? Pathetic & disgusting. This is fucked up beyond belief. Call it out loud. He belongs behind bars with the Tape Bros, not on the world’s biggest stage salivating over how he’s gonna steal the gold championship trophy. The beautiful game deserves better than this orange cancer. #WorldCupFinal

So if Farage wins, he won against a bin, & if he loses, he lost against a bin. It’s a bin bin situation.

'My job is to demonstrate that British democracy is wonderful and unique in the entire Cosmos' Count Binface told #BBCBreakfast why he plans to stand against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election - triggered by the resignation of the Reform UK leader who then plans to re-fight the seat, which he argued would vindicate him following questions over his financial arrangements bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjdg

And when the Next Gen came out; there was tons of hate because it “wasn’t Star Trek” and the cast probably was in fear from the fans. Again when the series with Bakula came out, it too was panned by the fans because it “wasn’t Star Trek.” Star Trek is different for everyone. đŸ€·đŸŒ

Just signed up to Paramount+ and couldn't even get through the pilot of TNG without the interface crashing, skipping to the next episode and playing adverts with only 30 seconds to go. Not impressed. @StarTrekOnPPlus

Just signed up to @paramountplus & the user interface is absolutely shocking! Terrible advert placements, 30 seconds before the end of episodes. Skipping to the next episode when there's still 20 seconds left. And constant crashing before the end of the episodes. NOT impressed!

July 20th is a special date for Space fans. In 1969 Man first planted his footprint on the moon and in 1965 on this date was my first day of planting my 🍑 in the Captain’s Chair on the bridge of Star Trek. 😝 It was the second day of filming of the pilot episode. 🚀👹‍🚀🌖
