This poor bastard. I'm talking the original Evil Dead Ash rather than the more cartoonish version of the sequels.

That's an interesting idea, I always felt that Torchwood should be less about artifact preservation and more a public health thing. "We need to get this stuff somewhere safe. Not because we're hoarding secrets, because if we don't someone who has no idea what they're doing will dick about with it"

Incredibly saddened to hear this. Struzman created artwork that elevated mid-range films and made great films unmissable. When studios moved to poorly photoshopped posters to cut promo costs the industry lost some of the majesty that Struzman and his contemporaries provided.

Stumbled across this old photo from the making of The Invasion and thought it looked like a great album cover.

A black and white photo of Patrick Troughton in a white shirt with puffy sleeves and high waisted trousers held up with braces. Wendy Padbury in a minidress and feather boa and Freezer Hines in traditional Scottish dress. The photo has been made to look like an album cover for a band called "Stovepipe" and the album title is "The Big One" and there is a parental advisory label for explicit content in the top right hand corner.

A fantastic concept trailer for a #StarTrek #DoctorWho crossover.

The original was lost, so this is a second pass, and it's really bloody good.

Indeed. Ghostface is, after all, the sassiest of screen killers.

Or, for that matter, Ghostface was regularly seen driving in a specific make of car in a misguided piece of product placement. Like he suddenly becomes synonymous with the Fiat Cinquecento.

He does have the air of genetic handsome white man number 23358. The sort of face that slides off the memory despite there being nothing particularly wrong with it.

You can just share my video from me instead of sharing a screen recording of my video from a content farm account that isn’t on the scene btw.

It's cuz they let that murdering war criminal Janeway come back. They sent Voyager out to die for a reason. Like the spaceship in HHGTG filled with idiots, they crewed Voyager with the worst they had in the hope they'd snuff it.

I bet "Sarah" is reading this and feels vindicated in her decision not to reply to this buffon.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

sorry but Star Trek Disco future sets off my cultdar, it has felt for a long time like the kind of world which looks like a utopia but then you peel back the shiny surface and find something monstrous.

Orlando Bloom is fantastic camping it up as the villain. Made me wish he played more bad guys like that.
