The iconic James Bond gun barrel. Bond is posed holding his Walther PPK and there is blood cascading down the screen, somehow inside the gun of his victim. In this particular one, Goldfinger (1964), the secret villain Bond kills is JFK

Scene from classic Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles", Scotty holds an arm-full of furry tribbles, the middle finger of his right hand is not visible, presumably as it's right up inside that one tribble, no wonder it made all those noises. Oh, and Kirk and Spock are looking at him in disgust as they know what a freak he is
A slightly unusual depiction of a god, white hair and beard much longer this time, and he's sitting almost like he's on a toilet. Also he's surrounded by feminine looking angels and he's doing jazz hands
A depiction of a silver-haired, long-bearded white man in robes holding a stick and with the other hand held up beatifically. It's someone's idea of a god, basically

Hawley: "Far Cry" Has Same Appeal as "Fargo": "One thing that really attracted me to the 'Far Cry' franchise is that it is an anthology, and every time they release a new game, it is a totally different story. That's how I approach 'Fargo,' and it was an exciting idea that we could build an anthology game adaptation where each season is a different story about civilized people thrown into situations where they have to become increasingly uncivilized." Hawley Isn't Looking to Specifically Adapt the "Far Cry" Games: "I'm not specifically adapting any of the games that they've put out - I'm saying much as I did with the Coens or X-Men [FX's Legion] or Alien, 'Let me have a dialog with this franchise, because this is what I think a 'Far Cry' story is.' We can have a larger conversation about the strengths and weaknesses of adapting video games

Tubs on the Late Late Toy Show that time a few years ago when the bottle of Fanta fizzed over and he said “fuck sake” under his breath, thinking we didn’t catch it, but everyone heard and kids were imitating their hero the next morning saying the f-word to each other in hushed tones and I hear that many of them have gone on to become addicts on drink and drugs and are dead now and it’s all Ryan’s fault and I hope he knows that and thinks about it as he earns his reduced salary over in England, oh am I still typing this

A flyer showing screen times at the Ormonde Cinema in South Dublin for a week in November 1999. It features a bunch of films from the time including Sixth Sense, Blair Witch, American Pie and Deep Blue Sea. And adult ticket went for £2.50 to £4.50 in those pre-Euro days. They even list their website here, which doesn’t look like a real URL somehow

One of those weird looking hairless cats. It’s got wrinkly skin that has weird dark patches in places. Its tail is long and looks leathery, curled around it like that of a rat
The small lady medium from Poltergeist with text that reads “This house is clean”, despite the fact that the family are later beset by all manner of spooky and monstrous shit. I can only imagine she then denied them a refund and I’m literally sitting here fuming over it, the fucking nerve
