The same as the above picture but I added some movie poster bells and whistles. It's now "ERNEST GOES TO HELL" and it's got a quote from Roger Ebert who calls it "RELENTLESS!"

The Book of Alien by Paul Scanlon and Michael Gross (1979). When I spotted this on the new releases shelf in my local scifi & fantasy bookshop in 1979 I thought the heavens had opened and couldn’t have slammed down my hard earned newspaper delivery money any faster for a copy.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 25/06/2026
The Supreme Court just launched one of the largest attacks on immigrants in modern American history. Thousands of Haitians and Syrians now risk losing the right to live and work in the country they call home.

This decision will cause enormous pain across the five boroughs. Here in New York, it falls hardest on our Haitian community, one of the largest in the country, alongside Syrian families.

I joined labor leaders with 1199SEIU, elected officials, and advocates to send a clear message to immigrant New Yorkers: You belong here. We will not turn our backs on you.

The Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs will share additional information and resources soon. If you have questions about your status or need legal assistance, call our Immigration Legal Support Hotline at 800-354-0365.

Fun note on this article, this company uses comfyUI, which boasts a collection of some of the most unethical and exploitative GenAi models. This whole deal is Netflix normalizing the exploitation of the creative workers—whose works GenAi companies stole to train their models— they hope to replace.
A twitter post from ComyUI company:
We're honored to see how Interpositive is using ComfyUl to help filmmakers stay focused on what matters most — the creative work.
Founded by Ben Affleck and built by filmmakers, for filmmakers, InterPositive has been on a mission to develop Al-powered tools that protect and expand creative choice. Their technology is purpose-built to match the language cinematographers and directors already speak, keeping creative decisions firmly in the hands of artists.
Today, that mission just got a massive boost.
Congratulations to the entire InterPositive team on joining @netflix .
It's a powerful reminder that the best creative technology doesn't replace human judgment —
it amplifies it.A shot of all the unethical foundational models that power comfyuiScreenshot from Netflix showcasing comfy ui
