Why Seattle (and Environs) is a Very Cool Place to Live
And, no, we aren’t prostrating ourselves before the techies who’ve raised housing prices (and restaurant prices etc. etc. etc.) into the stratosphere.
Instead, we’re saluting Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture and its latest exhibit, the Marvel Universe of Super Heroes. In other words, as this article puts it:
Drool over Marvel Comics’ rarest original art, costumes at new museum exhibit
by Sam Machkovech
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands to every movie theater in the world, the MoPOP Museum of Pop Culture (formerly Experience Music Project) swoops in this week with an exhibit that reminds fans where the heck these costumed heroes came from: the comics pages.
Bri Castellini on Public Displays of Profanity – @brisownworld
by Bri Castellini
A few weeks ago on Twitter, I was having a conversation about branding and public personas with some fellow filmmakers, and one of them (a fantastic Canadian director named Brianne Nord-Stewart) made a joke that “my personal online presence is regulated by the notions of “am I okay with this living on forever?” & “do I care if my grandpa sees this?”” And it struck me how considerably less family friendly my online presence has become over the past few years.
When I first started out on the internet, in my wee pre-teen years, I was incredibly cautious about my public activities. I wouldn’t tell anyone my last name, wouldn’t reveal my home state let alone my city, and would sometimes even invent fake names for friends and places to keep myself “safe.” I got older and a little more bold[er], yet in college I was still chastising friends for swearing on camera for videos I intended to upload to YouTube. Because I’ve been online in the same few places so long, my entire family has access to my blogs, videos, and social media posts- Hi, family!- so I’ve always kept my digital identity cleanish.
This despite the fact that I’ve been swearing like an injured sailor since I was 12 years old. I used to play basketball with a boy at lunch where instead of talking we’d just swear at each other and giggle. For two years in a row in high school I put “stop swearing so much” as a New Years Resolution. It never stuck.
Web Series: ‘My Death Co.’
Possibly the best directed and shot live action web episode we’ve ever seen…and the script ain’t too shabby either:
