Do yourself a favour, go see it, not for Tom Cruise but to make sure this kind of ballsy filmmaking can still happen. Because now that Skydance has so much control over Hollywood, it could be a long time before Warner Bros. releases another like it.

I’d rather have an economy that didn’t require that much wealth to simply exist. People applauding this but it’s still the wrong take.

“Andor” creator Tony Gilroy says it’s “tragic” that the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger is threatening to “destroy the architecture” of Hollywood “in the name of venture capital”. Disney are looking like the most creative of the corporations. Skydance is the shit-hole studio run by the real shitheads.

Easy hack for authors and screenwriters - title your new work as a sequel, it automatically suggests there was a first story that was deemed successful enough to warrant another. Boom. Wait for the offers to roll in. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

There’s been a lot of noise about Capcom’s use of AI in #gamedev and most of it caused by moron “journalists” aiming for clickbait rather than facts. As always, the devil is in the detail and context matters.

There’s a box in the corner of the bedroom with a blanket in it. It’s the last place Ruby slept in before she passed. It’s been almost a year now, and it’s the first time I’ve been able to bring myself to think about putting it away. Crying like a sad old fuck typing this.
