While photographing downy woodpeckers, I noticed what looked like a dinosaur—actually a snapping turtle—slowly crossing the path from the creek toward a nearby pond in Longmont, Colorado.

In this horizontal black-and-white photograph, a close-up of the turtle’s tail fills the frame at ground level, backlit to emphasize its texture. The tail is tightly cropped and shown in right profile, tapering from the lower left and growing thicker toward the upper right corner. Rows of jagged spikes run along its length, increasing in size before diminishing again, accentuating its rugged, armored appearance. The skin’s plated texture evokes something prehistoric, like a dinosaur brought to life.

The background is a softly blurred pebble footpath, with horizontal shadows adding a sense of depth and contrast to the scene.

I'm extra confused that the Backrooms in the movie appears to be located inside the Infinite IKEA.

Coyote vs. ACME is doing something I've always wanted to see: putting Foghorn Leghorn in a villain role as high caliber as Sam and Elmer used to get. Foghorn Leghorn has always been a selfish, chauvinistic, manipulative dick who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. This is too perfect.

The foil has to be the focus. Some of the stereotypes may not age well, but the foils are absolute. There is an expectation of failure or just useless wind with these characters. Foghorn Leghorn remains one of the best on that score. Better than Sam. Better than Elmer.

You combine IT'S A JOKE, SON! with the short YOU, JOHN JONES with James Cagney and Margaret O'Brien, and you have something that ought to be taught in history classes.

Not even a century, yet this is the kind of comedy and satire we already have to circle back to. Beauregard Claghorn, the one-man post-war Confederacy. The distilled antebellum white stereotype whose staunch descendents would start wearing red hats.

Just watched the Coyote vs. ACME trailer and there is no one in this film portrayed more pitch-perfect than Foghorn Leghorn. It's returned him to his roots, and those roots were never intended to be looked upon kindly. He's always been my favorite LT character, and I am going to revel in hating him.

Straight-up calling Warner Bros Seven Arts Kinney Time AOL AT&T Discovery Media a subsidiary of The ACME Corporation, having ACME as the primary antagonistic corporation of the film, and proceeding to say this is the film ACME doesn't want you to see should be studied by marketing students.

Lest it be forgotten that Foghorn Leghorn was a parody of a fictional southern segregationist politician from 1940s radio, Beauregard Claghorn, a beautiful satire of southern racists. It's a nice indicator of deserved ridicule of bigotry going back 80+ years.

It’s pretty rare for someone to make their film debut at the age of 61, it’s even rarer for them to make such an impact at such an age that they’re nominated for an Oscar.

But that’s what happened to a lad from Kent - the great SYDNEY GREENSTREET.

Foghorn Leghorn in Coyote vs. ACME is going to bring back Senator Claghorn discourse at a crucial moment in history and I am here for it.

Advantages? 10 pounds my first week. Disadvantages? The "Keto flu." In my case hydration and electrolytes became a major focus.

There is no end to low carb substitutes that don't taste like a sacrifice. Chayote squash literally saved my life after my heart scare, replacing both potatoes and apples.

New rubber dinosaur in the family. Collecting is supposed to be fun. Collecting old rubber dinosaurs is fun. I don't need a Hammond Collection Parasaurolophus marked up to 3x retail. Damn skippy I'm not paying 300 bucks for a 60-buck Spinosaurus I missed out on, either, you skunk parasites.

Sitting on the rickety porch I've turned into a roadside gift shop, surrounded by hand-carved, quaint little "Live Laugh Love" style decorative signs that read "You're All Going to Die." Teens roll up asking where the camp is and I just point without making eye contact. They don't even buy anything.
