Got my tickets for THE DEVILS on the big screen, and the 24 Hour Movie Marathon, a previous instance of which was one of the two previous times I've seen THE DEVILS (or most of it, anyway) on the big screen

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

A neon light art piece of Samuel Beckett's famous quote "I can't go on. I'll go on" but spaced - it would seem inadvertently- so that it reads "I can't goon. I'll goon".

These things "work" by hoovering up your data. Your messages? Your emails and documents? Every click and mouse move you make? (Ever clicked yes to the "Enable telemetry" option?) You are two things to them: a source of data for their data soup, and a customer to sell it all back to.

We’re so excited to share the trailer for BLACK SHEEPS with the world! This film was handmade with love and care (and many litres of fake blood) and I can’t wait for people to see it.

there are only three narratives in fiction: 1) the hero's journey 2) a stranger comes to town 3) a greedy developer is going to tear down our beloved community center...UNLESS we put on the greatest breakdance show this town's ever seen

AI is the ideal technology for people who want problematic results but also want to dodge accountability for them. It’s effectively the same shit as Two-Face flipping a coin and calling it fate, there’s just way the fuck more coins in the air

I am newly a free agent again. Looking for opportunities in stage, screen, or games; in NZ/Aus/Canada; and in writing, directing, performance, editing, VFX, previs, sound design, or composition. And if you’re a producer looking for weird-as-fuck and/or funny-as-fuck genre projects…hmu dog I gotchu

and no. silent hill is not a therapist. it is not a crucible. it has no intent to refine you. it is an actual monster that's trying to tear you apart don't confuse "what the narrative is doing" (a character goes through a trial and comes out changed) for "what the monster is trying to do"

Strange New Worlds S4: big step up from the disappointing S3. Nowhere near the dizzying heights of S2, but it’s got a few eps in it that I would rank with the series’ best. Plus the puppet episode, which was a lot of fun. Only a couple clangers. I’m gonna miss Ethan Peck’s Spock when it’s over.

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”

APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

There is a whole other Top Ten’s worth missing from here (Breaking Bad / BCS, The Leftovers, Battlestar Galactica, Lower Decks, Game of Thrones, Last Week Tonight, The Americans, Severance, Toast of London) but this is my list right as of this moment. (Twin Peaks was season 3 of a pre-2000s show.)

The Knick, The Rehearsal, Andor, Bojack Horseman, Veep, The Comeback, Review, Chernobyl, Hannibal, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace

I regret to report that this will now be a single feature (RESIDENT EVIL), with HOPE likely to get doubled with either MUM I'M ALIEN PREGNANT or COYOTE VS ACME at a later date. Lotta good movies out at the moment!

tfw you realise you've never really had a healthy relationship modeled for you and that's probably why you've wound up in the less-great situations you've wound up in, and most importantly you realise your therapist is about to make fucking bank off of you

This week’s Strange New Worlds is one of the best episodes of the series, and it comes straight after one of the worst. Classic Star Trek behaviour.
