Fuck me there's a lot of famous people in this movie, Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Acroyd. 

I'm shocked to learn this morning that Danny Glover is NOT Donald Glover's father. They aren't even related.

Danny glover was only 40 when he was "too old for this shit"

Any excuse to post Danny Glover in spoof Malian Western Death in Timbuktu. Which in context certainly qualifies as a "Fuck my hat" moment.

But all data currently encrypted is encrypted with those standards. Unless all legacy data  - including the data sucked into secret service datacentres under projects revealed by Snowden - and all backups are re-enxcrypted to the new standards, it will remain vulnerable.

Ah, got you. I was thinking of encrypting internet traffic, not stored data.

Ian McDiarmid was only 39 in Return of the Jedi. People really did look older back then.

I'm 36 and I feel too old for lots of shit these days. How often does Danny Glover declare himself to be too old for this or that shit? He'd be justified if he was being offered some rusks or a nappy, I say.

Charles M. West did a bunch blaxploitation like I Do, Maybe and Love N Success under such names as WT Jones and Baz Brothers but also the EG Daily cartoon Nubbin

. Sadly, the Barry VVilliams who makes  blax movies on lettrboxd like No Filter is not the Brady Bunch actor , like say tubi's  white blaxploitatin CHristian filmmaker Shane Hagedorn, or Letterboxd's Antoine Allen (Bullet 2018, Voice of Reason, Lola 2020 - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3988831/)

turns out Antoni Corone, Don's son off Miami Tvvice is in a vveb shovv vvith a real mobster/racketeer https://imdb.com/name/nm8746712/

Interesting considering  you can't OD on acid. That elephant obviously had a prior smack problem or summat.

iirc there's something dodgy about that elephant story. More drugs than acid were involved.


QuoteTwenty minutes after the initial injection of LSD, it was decided that promazine hydrochloride (Sparine, a Thorazine-like drug) should be administered in an attempt to counter the above reaction. 2800 mg of promazine hydrochloride was injected into his ear over a period of 11 minutes, and only partially relieved the seizures and respiratory distress. An hour later, in a further attempt to assist the elephant, Dr. West injected Tusko with an unspecified quantity of pentobarbital sodium directly into a vein. The elephant died 1 hour and 40 minutes after the LSD had been given.


There were some guys who railed a massive line of LSD crystals, like 4,000 times the active dose, because they thought it was coke. They all survived, although they were hospitalised and it was touch-and-go.

"All patients recovered completely within 12 hours, and... were discharged within 48 hours."

Leaf Fielding writes in his autobiography how he was laying some sheets of acid and he noticed his glove had a hole in it and his finger was bleeding, and immediately tripped balls, thought he was dying multiple times, the whole shebang.

I'm not even 100% sure about how true my knowledge of acid is, but let's pretend I'm a shaman. I believe that if you take about 1mg of acid - i.e. a tenstrip of relatively mild tabs - then your brain maxes out on its acidness, and then you can't get any higher than that. Doses of over 1mg last for longer but don't make you trip harder.

Sounds plausible. There must be an upper limit.

LSD acts as a catalyst for processes already potential in us; LSD only lets it loose. If you take acid one day it won't work as well the next and becomes ineffective if you take it too regularly. It needs at least a week for your body to be up to speed again. And the longer you leave it the stronger your next trip.

This is science, based on people's trip reports on social media. This is proof, as if it were ever needed, that the optimum time to drop acid is every fortnight. Aaah that used to be my life before fatherhood came along

Three months is a really good time to wait.

Fuck my hat, I hate non-zero y-axes.
Makes sense here though, doesn't it? The natural minimum for the quantity is '100%'.

It might have been better presented as a multiplier - '3x' rather than '300%'.

Fuck my hat, I hate people who don't read y-axis labels.

I think part of my understanding is that cannabis is a partial agonist of the cannabinoid receptors, and LSD or other drugs like mushrooms are also partial agonists of seretogenic receptors. So that imparts a level of safety about them - you can't overload the receptors.

Whereas things like nbome and spice are full agonists and thus pose a risk of substantial damage.

This is kinda Reddit-level neuropharmacology and I'm sure it's likely to be an oversimplification. wish I knew I would've been interested in this topic in my 30s back when I was debating whether to take performing arts when I was 16

An alarming amount of people on letterboxd think Marcia Gay Harden is called Marcia Hayden
https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5049399/  This is Marcia Hayden, star of a Spanish language sunshine short, Bernice starring Debbie Fan from Magnum P.I., and webshows bitch Please with Nick jr voice Ryan Bartley and Dary starring Pitch Perfect's Brock Kelly, and Anna Elizabeth James who bizarrely dir. a short written by my cousin Lydia.

Itunes original drama  I Kissed a Vampire starred pornstar Brooke Diamond

I'm sure 'Marcia Gay Harden' could be worked into one of those "Jamaica? No she went of her own accord" style jokes. Hopefully Steve or Reece could help me out when they read this.

Villain of the week Martin Bashir released an album called Bass Lion back in 2010. A mix of roots, rock and reggae apparently.

The phrase to "laugh ones head off" originates from the last public beheading that occurred in England in 1747

Lord Simon Fraser Lovatt was convicted of high treason for basically Scottish nationalism (though he apparently was also a bit noncey) and just prior to he being lopped off a wooden spectator stand collapsed killing 9 people in the process.  This lead Simon to laugh and continue laughing until the axe cut his head off.

FredNurke

If true, it's surprising that the first attestation of the phrase is over a century later, and very suspicious that there doesn't seem to be anything linking the phrase with the execution until the 21st century. Looks ben trovato to me, sadly.

Reading the Wiki article about Lovat led to my finding out that Owen cribbed "dulce et decorum est" from Horace.

He didn't laugh his head off though. Someone cut it off. Also how was he laughing and quoting Horace? How did he know nine people died?

All that probably did happen yes but unlikely a pretty obvious figure of speech came out of it

Well I think story is just that he was laughing and then had his head cut off.  No idea if it is true or not rather has become myth or whatever.  Do I need to call Tony Robinson?
