Only one “flexible head” that I am deeply deeply concerned about right now Phillips

A disturbing and likely AI generated Facebook ad for a Phillips i9000 shaver featuring a man with a weirdly elongated neck and small head, held at an odd angle, being “shaved” in such a way that it makes it look like his head is attached to the shaver like a statue on a plinth.

Made for comfort
3 flexible shaving heads adapt to hard-to-reach areas.

There are so many spectacular things to remember Dolly Parton for, both artistically and socially, but this is where my stupid brain went first.

Poster for RHINESTONE starring Sylvester Stallone and Dolly Parton.

She's bet everything, and we mean everything,
that she can turn this New York cabbie into an overnight sensation.
He has other things in mind.
But he's never had a trainer like this one!

Holy shit, now I'm even more excited for COYOTE VS ACME. Sole screenplay credit on both!

DRIVING MISS DAISY sitcom director Will Mackenzie helmed many, many sitcom episodes from NEWHART to SCRUBS, but he *also* directed the pilot (also unsold) for POOCHINSKI, in which detective Peter Boyle dies and returns to his partner to solve crimes in the form of a talking bulldog

Opening title for POOCHINSKI. A night city helicopter shot in the background, with big all-caps lettering for the title, and most importantly, pawprints for the two "O"s

I have watched more unaired/unsold pilots than I care to admit, but this one is the one that always shocks people it ever existed as a multicam laughtracked sitcom

I know I’m posting like I’ve uncovered some sort of crime when it’s typical “website bought out by content farm” behaviour, but this is just such a weirdly specific headline formula, and Polygon used to be one of the good ones

Stephen King's 103-Minute Sci-Fi Movie Masterpiece Has Officially Returned to Free Streaming

There’s some exceptionally odd SEO or AI bullshit going on here. At least half the headlines at Polygon now seem to fit this weirdly specific format on newsfeeds, with more normal/authored headlines on the actual website. Is it A/B testing? Anyone still in the game who can shed light on this?

It is wild what headlines Polygon is serving to the RSS feeds vs what is appearing on the actual website

1. This movie is directed by Ti West?! 2. The supporting cast fucks and it's a real shame about the lead 3. I dunno, this really sounds like it's about the time when he famously is, in fact, Scrooge 4. What would even be the point of a prequel to a story that revolves around flashbacks anyway

Cast
Johnny Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge, a stingy, penny-pinching, cantankerous and lonely old man whose sheer miserly nature leads him to despise Christmas and all things which engender happiness.
Arthur Conti as young Ebenezer
Rupert Grint as Bob Cratchit
Andrea Riseborough as the Ghost of Christmas Past
Tramell Tillman as the Ghost of Christmas Present
Ian McKellen as Jacob Marley
Daisy Ridley as Emily Cratchit
Sam Claflin as Fred
Charlie Murphy
Ellie Bamber as Isabel Fezziwig
Nicholas Day as Minister
Henry Lloyd-Hughes

Here is a 22-year-old screenshot of Sam Neill complimenting teenaged me (operating the camera). A highlight of my life at the time, and frankly, still is. RIP to one of the realer ones.
