Kasutama-chan is the mascot for the town of Kasuya, in Fukuoka. He’s an egg, to represent Kasuya’s high birth rate.

It's weird people don't realise right off that Luke and Leia are brother and sister given that the first time they meet she makes fun of his height.

It was only this year that I bothered to identify the sponsors who own the logo at the end of OK Go's video for "The One Moment" (we don't usually de-ice roads in Oz), so I laughed when I spotted it again this week in Warlock (1980) where the brand helps Redfearn weaponise his witch-fighting whip.
Redfearn (Richard E. Grant), witchfinder transported to the present day in pursuit of the eponymous warlock (Julian Sands, RIP), pours a container of Morton Salt over, well, it's his whip but it's hidden by the dashboard. Later he'll chew the salt into the leather. Not much of a product placement given, when he tells the heroine (Lori Singer) that witches are repelled by salt, she replies: "Yeah, sulfites, salt, all that shit'll kill ya."

Having only just seen "Dr Who and the Daleks" I was previously unaware of how terrifyingly advanced their technology was.
A black and siver dalek approaches a red and silver one in their control room. To the left in the foreground is a desk holding three lava lamps.

Following in the footsteps of Watership Down and The Plague Dogs, THE ANIMALS OF FARTHING WOOD (1993) traumatised a generation of children. A grand tally of 20-odd onscreen deaths included baby mice impaled on a tree. At 4.30 in the afternoon, kids!

"AI" text generation is for people with third rate minds or who like to take credit for other people's work, so it is unsurprising it is mostly used by management.

Inside you there are two Santas.
A hard-faced man dressed as Santa Claus brandishes a gun. It appears to be a publicity still for The Silent Partner (1978) of Christopher Plummer as bank robber and violent psychopath Harry Reikle.A desolate man dressed as Santa Claus points a gun at his own head; Dan Ackroyd as Louis Winthorpe III in Trading Places (1983).

Merry Christmas, y'all.
A sinister Santa in a wheelchair looms over an anxious man in a padded cell. Why yes, it's Mr Helpmann visiting Sam Lowry at the Department of Information Retrieval in Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Happy holidays!

I want a Back to the Future 1.5 where George views Lorraine with increasing suspicion and heartache as his son grows to look exactly like that guy she told him not to worry about

First saw him as the original Darius Jedburgh, and never forgot him from then on. RIP Joe Don Baker. (Don't watch this if you've never seen the show. It'd be a shame to spoil it.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=lY-8...

Obviously I approve of the result, but was there any reason to crush seals?

One of the things I like about social media is watching people trying to remix jokes.

I don't know who, if anyone, needs to know this, but if you play the Parallax Corporation recruitment montage at 1.5 times its original speed, it's the same length as Mason Williams' "Classical Gas".

Yes, sure, call it the Gulf of America. Remind everyone there is no such country as "America"; America is a supercontinent, with a North and South half, of which the USA is only a part.

Frankie Boyle once pointed out that quite a lot of people simply don't understand how jokes work and it's nice that someone decided to turn that into a website.
