Of Countless Stars

book from the sky (tianshu) xu bing, 1989-91

I was so excited to see a copy of this in real life bc it's something I studied in art history. this is a book that was typeset and printed by hand using wooden blocks but every one of the characters was invented for the sake of the piece and does not correspond to any word in the Chinese language

yes. he invented and hand carved 4000 characters. it is a CRAZY project that resulted in an intentionally unreadable book. I love it

Xu Bing you're legendary to me !!!!

I feel like we're underselling it a little here

about house md

I started writing House MD fanfic in high school and because my autistic ass got into it so hard I was reading anatomy textbooks on break during my summer job when I was 16 I wrote a bunch of meticulously researched if dramatic and very "written by a 16 year old" fanfic. Like went and joined forums for each condition to describe them as accurately as possible. And like. Accidentally helped like. A bunch of people figure out what was wrong with them by essentially doing fully new medical description research bc I was obsessed with the toxic old man yaoi

Just finished hamlet & had to share THIS

btw this is literally what goes down. it’s great. 

You just know the ye olde peasants went NUTS at that last part

We don’t say sblood enough we should bring it back

is this real?

Probably.

The problem with line of thinking is that it assumes that Michael Caine wasn't trying to be funny. He absolutely was. It's just that the funniest thing he could have done is to play it straight.

The movie would be less funny if he was being a jokester! He's playing the straight man for all the Muppets. All of them.

And that's the funniest thing he could have done. And he could do it because he IS that actor, who could do it for real and it'd be very serious and people would clap and say it's the best since blah blah blah.

But doing that, being Sir Serious Dramatic Actor in a room full of Muppets? Hilarious.
