Quote of the Day

"Does it have a bug? It's a pseudo-random number generator. The proper question is: which bug does it have?"

Yes, I'm going to burn

But it is nice to know that I will have company.

somewhere along the way an obscure underling named Morningstar defied His Supremeness and thus began the most electric rivalry since the Lakers-Celtics thing of the 80s.

Albinism in Film

I saw this at Echidne, but it was cross posted from The Gimp Parade.

Skinema has a list of characters with Albinism.

An impressive list. It's got a number of entries that make me think the list makers are a bit touchy (is Draco Malfoy albinism-like, or is he just a platinum pretty boy?) and in at least one case the description of the character is just wrong (in Pricess Bride, the Albino was not an executioner).

But even taking out the questionable entries (How much blame does Hollywood deserve for the notion that vampires have pale skin?), it's still lopsided enough that I wonder whether anyone has ever staged Othello, costuming the title character with albinism like features.

It would be nice to see a scene where someone asks a wheelchair bound person to grab a book for them "The blue one, top shelf", and then has the character hand the book over, with neither remarking on how that came to pass.
