Just realized that the reason Professor Falken from War Games (1983) deleted his account on 6/23/73 was probably because, as a Pacific NW guy, he'd gone to the Dead show in Vancouver the night before on 6/22/73, had a religious experience during the "Bird Song," and decided AI was too dangerous
Screengrab from the movie War Games, showing Matthew Broderick in reflection of a computer screen casually chatting with Joshua, the supercomputer intended to be in charge of launching American nukes.

Darkman III: Die, Darkman, Die is a perfect B-movie sequel title. The film itself can't cash the cheque its title is writing but man, that title.

It has the vibe of a 90s/2000s era DTV sequel to a theatrical hit. Like that Addams Family sequel with Daryl Hannah and Tim Curry.

And the Dad is Jordy Verrill, but he's handsome, smart, hasn't been consumed by an alien plant, and is played by an absurdly handsome actor from that SciFy channel show you liked in 2000s.

Mike Flanagan's The Dead Zone. A teacher gets a bump on the head and can suddenly see when people will meet The One. Trying to get a handle on his new abilities, he catches the eye of a rising political star. At a crucial rally, the politician picks up a child and gently burps them, to applause.

Mike Flanigan's The Jaunt. Everything about teleportation in the 24th century is just fine and peachy with no downsides.

Mike Flanagan's Christine. A shy nerd kid restores a magical classic car which mentors him, giving him sage-like advice on dating and turning him into THE most popular guy in town. But they'll have to use ALL their tricks when a secret cult which pursues magical classic cars threatens them.

I keep seeing so many ghastly variations on this. AI slop which mispronounces everything, and as someone who really wants to brush up on my very redimentary Gaeilige it's infuriating to see this garbage polluting the space.

I don't think the Failson Ellison is going to do uncut culture war bait, I think it's going to be more like putting Sydney Sweeney in a Jem and the Holograms movie to have "the next Barbie (2023)" and then raising his non eyebrows in surprise when that makes 34 dollars.

there’s one true answer but it’s the correct one five minutes after game of thrones - the last true monoculture show - ended, we all collectively agreed not to talk about it again, and house of the dragon/knight of the seven kingdoms haven’t recaptured a fraction of that cultural presence

I finally got to watch COYOTE vs ACME and enjoyed it a lot! it feels a little stranger watching it on the eve of the end of warner brothers and so many other creative institutions, and in such a place in my "career" and "life", but it speaks to this world we're all pushing our boulders through.

I have the entire run of that show on a hard drive, having acquired it on the high seas for a friend who's a huge Beatles fan. Just about the ghastliest animated series ever made. IIRC, the Fab Four had a contractual clause forbidding this to be sold or broadcast in the UK and yeah, smart move lads.

When AI shills use AI to draft a sales pitch, they don’t realize that every other AI shill is doing the same thing, giving their grifty emails identical appearances, cadences, subject style. I spot them immediately and delete without opening. AI is failing its users and evangelists in so many ways.

Jim Bakker's passing is a good excuse to have a gander at the video for Satellite by The Hooters, a piece which absolutely nails the 1980's Televangelism look. Best video the 80s that's actually shot, primarily at least, on video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVXj...

For years the only paid piece of voicework I ever did was played everyday on the radio. So I sometimes have delusions that I might have done something with that.
