iamrman posting in scans_dailytrailer_spotThe Running Man HD720p 40MB
Full trailer for Edgar Wright's (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead, Baby Driver) take on Stephen King's dystopian novel. In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television - a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite - and a threat to the entire system. Also part of the cast are Colman Domingo, Michael Cera, Katy O’Brian, Jayme Lawson, Karl Glusman, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones and William H. Macy.
I've never seen the original.
Relay HD720p 32MB
Conspiracy thriller about a world-class "fixer" (Riz Ahmed) who specializes in brokering lucrative payoffs between corrupt corporations and the individuals who threaten their ruin. He keeps his identity a secret through meticulous planning and always follows an exacting set of rules. But when a message arrives one day from a potential client (Lily James) needing his protection just to stay alive, the rules quickly start to change. Sam Worthington is also part of the cast. Directed by David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water, Perfect Sense, Hallam Foe).
According to festival reviews goes a little overboard towards the end, but this looks promising.
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale HD1080p 25MB
Full trailer for the third movie based on the characters of the TV series. It follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. When Mary (Michelle Dockery) finds herself at the center of a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the entire household grapples with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys must embrace change as the staff prepares for a new chapter with the next generation leading Downton Abbey into the future. Returning cast members include Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Jim Cartern Joanne Froggatt, Laura Carmichael and Dominic West. New additions are Paul Giamatti, Alessandro Nivola and Joely Richardson. Again directed by Simon Curtis (Woman in Gold, My Week with Marilyn, Goodbye Christopher Robin).
Sentimental Value - Affeksjonsverdi HD720p 28MB
Family drama from Norway in which sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father (Stellan Skarsgård9, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film. When Nora turns it down, she soon discovers he has given her part to an eager young Hollywood star (Elle Fanning). Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father — and deal with an American star dropped right into the middle of their complex family dynamics. Directed by Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World, Louder than Bombs, Thelma).
Was awarded the Grand Prize this year in Cannes, where it received mostly very favourable reviews.
Apocalypse in the Tropics HD1080p 36MB
Documentary that investigates the increasingly powerful grip that faith leaders hold over politics in Brazil. It gained extraordinary access to the country’s top political leaders, including President Lula and former President Bolsonaro, as well as to Brazil’s most famous televangelist: a larger-than-life pastor who plays the puppet master to the far-right leader.
It's a global disease. Will start streaming on Netflix July 14th.

Jul. 3rd, 2025 05:24 ambeccaelizabethCouldn't sleep so I watched two more Doctor Who.
Cold War had me staring into space for a while afterwards because it turns out the idea of nuclear war is still a teensy tiny bit bothersome. I wasn't entirely impressed by the specifics though.
Hide was proper scary. I was watching it at four in the morning on a no sleep night so I was noticing it was proper scary and I maybe probably hadn't scheduled that well. But it is Doctor Who so it is family television scary, where you hide behind the sofa *but* it makes it okay again by the end. So it stuck the landing very well. I was pleased happy and not scared by the time it was time to turn the tele off.
I realised though that the technique it used, finally giving us a good look at them and a happy enough ending, was quite a lot of what I found unimpressive in Cold War. I disliked their design for the insides of the suit, so I felt it detracted from the episode. But pulling the scary away and showing us the person is the actual proper point of both of those. So I am enlightened.
Not exactly sleepy still but I'll have another go.

Purrcy; Pride
Jul. 3rd, 2025 12:20 ammecurtinI finished taking the laundry out of this basket & put it down on its side for Purrcy investigation. It was worth snooping in, but not really good for long-term use, he found.
What's that in the sky? he wondered, after several days of rain & thunder-growler attacks.
My back continues to be better, while not being anything like *all* better. Prednisone has the reputation of being Side Effects City, my biggest ones so far are dry mouth making my voice all scratchy, and a certain amount of ADHD/mania type behavior, trouble settling & sleeping. Only 3 more days of tapering to go, though.
Amid all The Horrors ramping up & up, here's something that's given me active joy in the past couple of days: Sir Ian McKellan joining Scissor Sisters onstage at Glastonbury Festival:
My god, he's still got that full Royal Shakespeare voice.
It makes me cry a bit with joy at the end there, seeing Sir Ian being able to lead his people in a public celebration of being out & proud. And to see an old man being *venerated*, for once, admired for achievements but in this case also as a symbol of what people like those in the audience can have with age: a *full* life, a *long* life, a life with everything in it, despite what they may have been told. You don't have to be young to be queer, it's not a phase, it's part of a complete human life.

Jul. 2nd, 2025 09:21 pmtorachan1. Today was kind of a long day but I did get stuff done.
2. Just one more day of work this week and then three day weekend!
3. Finished another puzzle today. This is from the multi-puzzle box of Disney 70th anniversary puzzles. I really love this design, and they've got a fair bit of merch using it, too, but sadly not anything I actually need (and not even much that I particularly want).
4. Chloe loves lying on Carla's bed by the window.

Not a GREAT week when it comes to ending sexual violence.
Jul. 2nd, 2025 09:08 pmmuccamukkThe whole Diddy thing. It doesn't matter how much proof there is.
Brad Pitt, who is known to have struck his wife and his children then perpetuated lawfare on them for years to the point where several of his kids no longer want contact with him, has the number one movie right now. Best opening weekend of his career. Most of the coverage doesn't even mention the violence.
On the anniversary of Tortoise Media publishing allegations of rape and sexual assault against Neil Gaiman, Netflix is dropping season two of The Sandman. Meanwhile, Gaiman is forcing one of his victims into arbitration. Not because she's libling him, but because she broke an NDA. Everything's gone very quiet, which I assume is what he wanted.
Some thoughts from smarter people:
Rebecca Solnit: Cynicism Is the Enemy of Action.
Tarana Burke: Tarana Burke doesn’t define #MeToo’s success by society’s failure.

Some people want to judge the movement on specific outcomes, so when a case is overturned, Burke said, “people are like, ‘Oh the #MeToo movement has failed.’” Instead, she said, such outcomes are proof of the difficulty of the work.
“It’s not about the failure of the movement; it’s the failure of the systems,” Burke explained. “These systems are not designed to help survivors, they’re not designed to give us justice, they’re not designed to end sexual violence.”
“When we bind ourselves to the outcomes of these cases, we are constantly up and down with our disappointment, our highs and lows,” Burke continued. “What they tell us is just how much work we need to change the laws and the policies but most importantly, to change the culture that creates the people who commit, who perpetrate acts of harm.”

Jul. 2nd, 2025 11:38 pmconuly posting in agonyauntDear Care and Feeding,
Our house sits on a heavily wooded hill, and there isn’t much in terms of street lights—and no sidewalks. Though there are only a few houses on our bend of the road, we get people speeding through. We have new neighbors. The mother’s behavior is going to end in tragedy.
The neighbors have several very small children. The mom, for some unholy reason, thinks nothing of letting them bike in the street. She lets her babies ride around well ahead of her as she strolls leisurely several yards behind. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it myself.
My husband has already had a close call with one of the kids. He was backing out and the toddler zoomed right behind the bumper. Luckily, my husband was paying attention and was fast to put his foot on the brake. Even going as slow as he was, just a few miles per hour, it would have been a tragedy if he hadn’t been alert.
The mother’s reaction was to lay into my husband for not being careful enough! The kicker is that she said her kids have a right to play in the street. (There is a park five blocks away, but that is too far for her to go, apparently.) My husband said it was a bad conversation.
What do we do here? It would haunt me if one of these kids got hit because their mother was too lazy to care.

Challenge #1
Journaling Prompt: Light up your journal with activity this month. Talk about your goals for July or for the second half of 2025.
Creative Prompt: Shine a light on your own creativity. Create anything you want (an image, an icon, a story, a poem, or a craft) and share it with your community.. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
For July I have two open calls I want to write stories for. And I have twowipbigbang stories I must finish and I do need to work on my fandomtrumpshate story. In the meantime I'm working on some story that bit me yesterday. In fact on the 4 hour trip today five stories were trying to take dominance in my brain as I drove.
My other goals are to see some of the sites I've been trying to get to for years. It doesn't look good. Sigh. No one cares what my work goals are (including me if I'm honest)
I DO have something I'm proud of. Two somethings that I spent most of June working on. Both are from the Hazbin Hotel fandom (so mind the tags, this is the most violent musical animated comedy ever I swear)
Dandelions This is myunconventionalcourtship story. I am very proud of how this one turned out and have gotten some nice comments about.
The Power Play series is something I created for thegetyourwordsout Yahtzee challenge. I am a little disappointed at how much this is flying under the radar. That said, I think it's a very good one that I enjoyed doing.
I'm going to break the book report into two days because I'm hot, tired and cranky. (and that story wants me to get back to it)
What I Just Finished Reading:
Dark Entry - a short suspense/horror novel I got last year, not bad but predictable
Verses for the Dead - a pendergast novel from Preston & Childe. enjoyed it but the ending was too hollywood
Chasing Evil - this is written by an FBI agent (ex) and his professional relationship with psychic John Edward (wish there had been chapters by John too)
What I am Currently Reading:
Kill You Twice - a pretty graphic (i don't mind) police procedural but it's a tad soap opera for me
I Need You To Read This - an arc of an advice columnist trying to solve the murder of the woman she's replacing. It has a neat cover, sleek red with the title as keyboard keys but they're tactile.
War Child - a Deep Space Nine Novel
Pantomine - an LGBT (intersexed main character) fantasy
What I Plan to Read Next: something for popsugar

The Titan's Curse: The Graphic Novel (Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Graphic Novels #3) by Robert Venditti (Adaptor), Rick Riordan, José Villarrubia (Illustrator), Attila Futaki (Illustrator)
Genre:
Comics, Graphic Novel, Mythology, Greek Mythology, Mythology, Percy Jackson, Young Adult, Monsters, Cotemporary, Urban Fantasy
Publication Date:
October 8, 2013
Page Numbers:
128
Read/Finished Date:
July 1st, 2025 - July 2nd, 2025
Rating:
2.5/5
Premise:
A new prophecy leads to a dangerous quest.
When Percy receives an urgent distress call from Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he'll need his powerful demigod allies, Annabeth and Thalia, at his side; his trusty bronze sword, Riptide; and a ride from his mom.
The demigods race to the rescue, only to find that Grover has made an important discovery: two new powerful half-bloods, whose parentage is unknown. But that's not all that awaits them. The Titan lord, Kronos, has set up his most devious trap yet, and the young heroes have just fallen prey.
Now, Percy and his friends are faced with their most dangerous challenge-the chilling prophecy of the Titan's Curse. They must rescue the goddess Artemis by the Winter Solstice, or all will be lost including Annabeth.
Rick Riordan's internationally best-selling "The Titan's Curse" becomes a graphic novel in the hands of comic-book luminaries Robert Venditti, Attila Futaki, and Gregory Guilhaumond.
Review:
I had to reevaluate my rating on this graphic novel. I mean, how could YOU not put in the "dam" joke! It was funny and here I was hoping to see it played out in all of its glory, only to end up being removed from the line-up. It sucks, but whatever. It was still a nice shortened version of the novel, but the artwork still sucks.
Second day in.
Jul. 2nd, 2025 10:01 pmhannahThinking it'd look more professional, I went with a messenger bag instead of a backpack today. As professional as it may have looked, I'm going to go back to the backpack. So much easier for so many things on so many levels, not the least of which is being able to ride a bike. Yes, I know bike messengers do it all the time. No, I'm not a professional bike messenger, and I'm unwilling to try. Especially if I'm already wearing a nice dress.
There wasn't much time to read at work, mostly because I'd been given an actual task to do: sorting through patient folders and setting aside old records to discard. Not as much fun as it'd have been if I'd had an MP3 player with me, and still satisfying to see the piles start to rise, and space in the drawers start to emerge. Where there's space in a drawer, there's objects to be discovered, and found my second office perk. A stain remover stick's not much, but it's still something I could take home with me. The first thing is a large can of cold brew coffee sitting in my fridge, waiting for a morning I need a jolt beyond all meaning.

I have them in trans, non-binary, ace, rainbow, lesbian, rave and glow-in-the-dark colorways. They're for my table at a convention in February of 2026, though I'm willing to take commissions now.
