I dug this one. Rabid is a story that's strangly retellable. I reckon the Soska sisters got it right by cutting into the more personal themes and setting it around the fashion industry.

I was never quite sold on a Starfleet Academy series whenever folk started talking about it, but I'm glad this series is happening in the far future, with new stories & dynamics and not the nostalgic past with a horny young Kirk and a tight-arse Spock. I love SNW, but Star Trek needs new horizons.

I lived in Argentina for 7 years. After Milei was elected the country began slipping down the shit pit fast. We'd pass four homeless camps walking my kid 3 blocks to school.

Besides incompetence & corruption, most outside Arg have no idea what an utter flaky lunatic the man is.

Birds of a feather.

This from @realgdt.bsky.social talking about 'Frankenstein' is so good.

I met Dolly once. I was waiting in a studio reception when a small crowd of well-dressed folk entered and waited. Dolly showed up and warmly greeted everyone in the area, including me, whom she mistook for one of the others in whatever meeting it was.

She seemed absolutely lovely.

I had one of those long, amazing dreams where I wander a strange, decaying city and take great photographs and footage I can't keep.

Hey techbros. Stop fucking around with that genAI rubbish and start working on dream recording.

What's a critically panned movie that you just can't help loving? 🎥

An entity whose face drives anyone utterly insane at a glance, so only its body can be depicted, as no one who's seen its face has ever been stable enough to describe it.

Back in Aus now so we can get Tubi. Looking forward to jumping in and seeing what's new.

I've been on the slow release for a year or so now. Really works for me.

Hey look. A child-like woman with no rights, no independence, no real intelligence, and actually fuelled by environmental damage.

No wonder the boys on the right are jizzing their pants.

New article from The Free Press

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human

“Not everyone is happy about this gorgeous innovation,” writes Tyler Cowen.

Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.

Of course, he (well, the brainier creeps behind him), doesn't want to bring US productions back to the US, he wants to limit and control production. A dependent and small film biz is a compliant one.
