he is slowly realising the mess he has created 🤣
You’d do it for Randolph Scott!
I’m using my son’s old iPhone X lol
What with Alien Earth being somewhat a success so far, I wonder whether The Thing would translate well into a series - if it were possible to keep the paranoia, dread and horror dialled up to 11 for an 8-episode arc for example. Might rework my McMurdo screenplay to see if it fits.
adds more weight lol
idk, too much hardware and money spent on developing more lenses than anyone really needs, it's obvious now that this is more about information capture for AI than anything else. Can live without it or just a really crappy set up that reduces the size/ weight of the phone.
Would quite happily pay for a smartphone that didn't have a camera.
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Space 1999 started 50 years ago today with 'Breakaway'! Half a century 🤯 Let's celebrate by dancing to disco music 🕺
🤣 and a dead one
Stop normalising everything. This shit is supposed to feel wrong.
Scientist bird said so.
"why doesn't the news media report xyz?"
*her
Lady Eyetopus clearly has some beef with Mr X too.
I read that more people are asking for novella sized books, not whopping tomes, but that’s more an attention span thing to me.
Listen to him.
I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"
10 PRINT “WOW” 20 GOTO 10
Just a bit, I lol’d when the engineer was trying to take a bite 🤣
Right?! And that fucking eyeball lol
UK peeps. Please watch this. You KNOW what is happening in the US today. You KNOW how fucked up it's getting over here, and even with that to keep them occupied, American politicians recognize that Farage is a danger and wants the same hollowing out of democracy to happen in the UK.
#AlienEarth
In a video game context, features are not "content" imho
Would have been funnier if they claimed responsibility for that fucked up rebrand instead.
It's only when you quit music streaming services like Spotify do you realise the extent of these platforms releasing just the bog standard versions of albums and not the fuller, extended releases that are available.
Every one of these events is this Administration taking opportunities to claw away norms, normalize what we know is wrong & bleed America of its empathy and outrage.
Richard Dean Anderson, best known for ‘Ernest Pratt’ in Legend (1995)
Very wise 😂
Bugger, he's alive.
Ruin a movie by making it about Gary Gary Came From Outer Space
Gary Brown
Ruin a movie by making it about Gary Gary the Barbarian
Ruin a movie by making it about Gary Star Trek II: The Wrath of Gary
Any Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen players fancy a complete VKB stick, throttle and pedal set-up? I'm selling mine, just don't get the use out of them. Barely touched. Would prefer a local (Scotland) pickup if possible, since shipping will be expensive. www.gumtree.com/p/video-game...
I suspect we’ll find out in a couple of generations.
Sounds like NotebookLM wrote the script for them.
I think we’re long past the point where cleaning up the environment and atmosphere is a case of removing carbon emissions and plastic straws from the ocean. Children of Men feels like a very real scenario as a result of microplastics, not some virus.
I see the qualifications to be a British MP are as tough as ever.
And then a16z rolls in with their Network State declaration.
This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly
And?
Man is not wrong, Basil’s score was my very first CD I ever bought. tbh Bear should compose and release something and get people frothing at the mouth to demand a movie with the music in it.
This is the billy bollocks of the tinned soup world. It’s fucking outstanding.
I think the whole IP opens up in the US and worldwide soon anyway. UK I think it’s freely available now. Not sure how all that stuff works though but it’s ripe for a retelling.
Well, if I’d known those two would be involved I wouldn’t have deleted the opening scene I wrote reuniting the original cast. btw you should pitch to Fred Malmberg since he owns the rights.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Lost my dad 3 years ago so I totally understand your reasons.
Says potential seven bedrooms so I'm wondering if there have been no plans officially submitted for any conversion works and they can't claim it. Price could reflect that part of the onus is on the new owner to go through all the planning works. Looks superb though.
Ah, hope all is ok. Personally, I’d love to move out of the UK entirely, I have Italian dual nationality so Italy is always an option. Maybe one day.
I think that was inevitable, Europe has been sitting on their hands over Putin for years and now it’s too late to mobilise effectively. I’m off to find a nice cave with running water in the Highlands and sit it out.
In 2023, #Apple announced investments in "carbon credits" in Paraguay to create their first 'carbon neutral' product. These credits are eucalyptus forests that use dangerous pesticides. Story by grantee @maximanzoni.bsky.social for @climatetracker.bsky.social and Consen.so. bit.ly/4lFBQri
I would very much like not to have a third world war kicked off after an American Civil War while I’m trying to find work. Although, it would be very convenient to not pay off loans and shit.
Sext Watto now replaced by Sexy Wubbo
The UK Gov is falling over themselves giving them contracts and access to citizen data, now they’re getting child and social work info.
🤬
Unless you’re Apple launching a new iTeam product.
Unless he steps down “on a high” type thing? Lots of claims about achieving peace, amazing tariffs, best President in the world and crap like that, then dies. Would be funny if he did a Tommy Cooper on stage though.
Kurosawa and Mifune had that shit on
Knowing nothing about US politics, is he allowed to declare his successor before he kicks the bucket? Like, mandate it or something as a final act? Or is this 2pm gig just a show and tell ‘look at me I’m still animated’ type thing for the press Or he’ll claim he was poisoned and it’s martial law
Remember, when Sam Altman says shit like "future iterations of GPT will require fusion power" or "we will need to build data centers on the moon" he's not revealing an ambitious roadmap. He's doing marketing. Putting "OpenAI" and "moon base" in the same sentence is the only goal.
We go to orchestral concerts, usually related video game and movie soundtracks at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. I’d say that 75% and up is a fair guesstimate depending on the titles or the composer.
Graham Greene has sadly passed away at the age of 73. He played Skully in ‘Echo’
He’ll die on 9-11 just to make it all about him.
You mean they took away all the good bits 😂

There's something about old 70's and 80's tv themes that just hit different.
Been bingeing on old cartoon theme tunes today, what a nostalgia trip.
“Ok, so I can’t make jewelry, but I’m great at disarming an alarm system and smashing glass cases”

UGH seems so then, fuck this shit
They won’t be able to af-fjord the refund when the Norwegians find out they’ll never be fit for service.
"TV detector vans are in your area" but for meat.
Lmao the Co-op as well
Despite mother moaning about the 2024 Count of Monte Cristo series not being the same as Dicky Chamberlain's film version, we're rather enjoying it. Sam Claflin is doing a great job as Eddie Dantes, the haunted look is really selling it. Worth catching up on if you love the story.

😆
scifireader, it just feels off.
Yessss! Whole score also available to listen to on SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/mmCtuMUmza6D...
This seems to be a common issue with Netflix/ Amazon movies preventing a release and I hate it. Not sure if it’s the case here too though but it sucks because I love soundtrack/ scores more than any other genre.
MUTE Soundtrack needs to be released! He did such a beautiful job. 💪🏼❤️🤞🏼 youtu.be/vmbj6ZBK2-U?...
Convinced that a popular sci-fi account on here is just AI generated commentary. No, it’s not @thespaceshipper.com.
replace the home studio with cats and then it's accurate
This is grim. Substack skews towards an ideology that is actively anti-science, in its support for centre right to far right commentators. Ideology aside: the site is artificially propped up on hollow VC money and when time comes to cash in, users'll get screwed www.nature.com/articles/d41...
I’ve maintained that people instantly know the Jaws theme and a fear of water when they hear it but have never watched the movie or know why they know of it.
Could confidently state that there's not many modern movies that could achieve this after 50 years.
OMFG the US recorded version of the Ulysses 31 intro theme is an absolute fucking turd. Why and how the fuck did they completely fuck it up? The original French and English versions are absolute bangers, and then the US comes along with something entirely different, it's unrecognisable.
Ya dancer, I've found the entire soundtrack to download, Sunday bonus!
I’m hoping that by the end of this year there will be many creative things on the boil, because in terms of corporate life that’s dead and buried now, it seems I’m “too old” to be useful for office life.
Fucken banger! Ulysseeeee-eeeee-eeees
Fuck it, going to do a U31 marathon this week.
Good luck, it’s got a truck load of that shaky cam shit.
Found out last night after digging around that the rights to Ulysses 31 have been returned to their creators under French law because Wildbrain, who bought the rights with DIC, did nothing with it for 20yrs except prevent anyone from using it. And who’s to blame for them losing it? Me. LMFAO
Tell me about it! Tried to find the one where he’s jetting off and waving his lightsaber around but nada *huffs*
It’s no longer Saturday but I don’t care.
Proton - the company that boasts user privacy and security as a major feature now have an AI chatbot. Who’s to say where exactly their training data came from….
