A rather delightful little souvenir.
I was sitting in the front row at the matinee and, during Tears of Laughter, this fluttered off Anna Francolini's fan and landed in my lap.
I shall treasure it always.
On the subject of historical fan sites, I was digging through LiveJournal and found a link.
After inputting into the Wayback Machine and preparing myself for disappointment, it stated the site was Still Active...
Here it is. A perfectly preserved cobweb from 19 years ago.

You're doing God's work.

This scene makes me so happy.
When your special interest becomes useful.

To my uk trans people and allies out there.
I was prepared for Final Destination: Bloodlines to be the hilarious gore-fest that it invariably was. Delightfully meta at times with some artistic jump scares and tension.
What I could never have fully prepared for was Tony Todd's swan song.
I've adored this actor since Candyman. He's a giant of horror cinema, iconic and irreplaceable.
Seeing him talk about mortality and cancer, and say his farewell on screen, has brought my grief once more to the fore.
I never met you, Tony, but you are missed none the less.
Life is short...
