Something new for #UnsocialSpectators 1999 episode. Revisiting #Spaced
One of my favorite TV shows. I own it in different Region codes because there is different commentary. Discovered Edgar Wright thru this show and have been a fan ever since.

@clay_harrison Spaced is so, so, so good. I need to rewatch sometime soon. It's been a while.

@billturner I love watching early Edgar Wright. The pilot has so many great storytelling tricks. It’s hard to imagine Nick frost hadn’t acted before this.
Show threadBill TurnerNov 17, 2022
@clay_harrison Agreed that Nick Frost does so well as a first-time actor. I haven't seen all of Wright's work, but Spaced, Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz are my favorites. Sadly I haven't seen his more recent films at all. I need to remedy that.

@billturner Scott Pilgrim?

@clay_harrison I've only seen bits and pieces of it, sadly. Never the full film. I should. Especially since I did read and enjoy the comic!
Show threadClayNov 18, 2022
@billturner you should check it out for Edgar’s work and the snapshot of early Hollywood like Aubrey Plaza and Brie Larsen. It’s great in a theater if you get a chance to see it, it’s great. And dude, Baby Driver is his best movie. I swear by it. Haven’t seen Soho yet.

@clay_harrison I'll make it a point to see it. I had no idea Aubrey Plaza and Brie Larsen were in it! It was a great comic with a wild premise. Just never saw the film.. although I'm positive I suggested my kids watch it, because I thought they'd get a kick out of it.

And I definitely want to see Baby Driver as well. It looked like it had a lot of the humor and feel of his earlier work.

@billturner both have great soundtracks. What tabletop stuff are you working on? I’ve been getting into some games and trying to create my own.
Show threadBill TurnerNov 20, 2022

@clay_harrison I've really become enamored with solo "journaling" RPGs, as creative writing exercises. I haven't played full RPGs (D&D, etc) in DECADES, but I'm interested to start again.

However, solo RPGs prompt you to stretch your imagination, often building a world/characters from nothing.

@clay_harrison Right now, I'm working on a few based on postmodern novels from the 70s. Once I get something prepared enough, I'd be happy to let you know and send details to you, if you're interested in that sort of thing.

What are you working on?

@billturner yea I’d like to read them. What novels?

@clay_harrison the books are "Invisible Cities" and "If on a winter's night a traveler" by Italo Calvino. I'm more going to use themes and such from the books for prompts in a creative writing/journaling rpg. No real adventure, but more a creative exercise. But either way, they're both favorite books of mine.
