The #Gjermundbu helmets spectacle faceplate is of ('Hold Brillan!', trøndsk proverb). X-ray does not reveal remnants of precious metal decoration, but a two part construction can be observed, overlaped and forge-welded at each temple and in the nose area. #Viking @Kulturhistorisk

The spectacle faceplate is cleaning up nicely during micro-sandblasting. I take care not to damage the extremely shallow filling of the decorative lines - just a fraction of a millimeter deep. I need to try some XRF-analysis to possibly identify the filling material. #Gjermundbu

I just could not resist ...

One Perfect HEADshot

On Chinese New Year, THE WANDERING EARTH, the first full-scale big budget space science-fiction film from China, will open in theatres. There will be many more to come. So here's a thread about previous and proto-SF Chinese movies, to try and wait (im)patiently.

It started in Hong Kong, then a British colony. Hong Kong films were mainly produced by private funds, with little to no money (and less control) from the state. The first Chinese-speaking sci-fi film was RIOTS IN OUTER SPACE (Wong Tin-lam, 1959).

The comedy film, produced by Cathay, is seemingly lost (anyone knows where to find it, give me a shout!). It was about two workers from a firecrackers factory who are brought to the hospital after an explosion. They dream of travelling to Venus and Mars.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...

@theroots

I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)

@jessebdylan

Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

Should I ramble about Yoshida Shin, or at least what he's done? 🤔

I'll take Qu and Siliva's likes as a Yes. Okay, let's see.

This is Yoshida Shin himself. Pretty average guy. Pretty unsuspecting. Can't talk much on his early work, as it goes back to some really generic 90s anime.

A Silent Noise

@thedreamreaper

207. UCHE DIKE was an odd ball with a mild distasteful sense of fashion when he first gained admission into Nnamdi Azikiwe university in Anambra State, Nigeria.

Uche was one of those students in school who occasionally wore bogus long sleeved shirts...

208... and carton-coloured trousers that looked like something that came out of a thrift shop in the
1980's.

A geek eyeglass, an afro, a black duffle bag and a brown shoe that shares the same oddity with Uche's choice of clothing, was also part of his signature appearance.

209. Uche was an awkward young man which made him an easy target for bullies.

Sometimes he felt there was a mental sticker on his head that screamed
'Bully me. Bully me. Bully me'.

Uche was the real definition of "Fashion makes you stand out." His mentality...
