playing STAR DYNASTIES: trying to calm things down after my mother's vicious, despotic reign. holding too much territory, I give up some & defuse 2 wars. I am not happy w/Lambda Scorpii seceeding on their own however & by coincidence their treacherous Baron turns up murdered a week later. #gamesky

where the later work feels 'off' & never returns 100% to it's previous quality. an obvious example of this is Coppola w/Apocalypse Now & One from the Heart. he broke on the former & the latter feels like a full retreat from reality.

(I think this can apply to all arts & artists, btw) #filmsky

I have a theory about (male) directors that goes like this: there's a breaking point for some directors where thet get so lost in their own process that they lose sight of why they started making films & their sense of connection w/the audience. like there's a noticeable before/after vibe-

I love how the post covid fascination w/ #liminalspaces has led to re-evaluations of some funky old games. #retrogaming www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYoM...

I am old fashioned in that I've never used a smartphone. never walked around in public looking at a screen, connected to the net. don't think I ever will. strictly a dumbphone guy.

oh, you all hated it? lol.

I enjoy most survivorlikes. YAZS' is very barebones mechanically, but scratches an itch for oldschool Robotron-type gameplay.

#filmsky watched ULEE'S GOLD ('97): quietly atmospheric & melancholic family drama. great performances by Fonda & Patricia Richardson. refreshingly understated & uncliched.
some of the line readings had me holding back tears. recommended.👍

tried watching ORLANDO ('92) but gave up about 40 mins in. couldn't tell what vibe the director was going for, unless the vibe was 'omg Tilda Swinton', which definitely came across.

eh, maybe I'll give it another go later. #filmsky

watched FEARLESS ('93): I generally enjoy Weir's films & liked the set-up for this a lot w/Bridges conveying a barely contained mania. much of the latter half felt like more of a pretentious ramble, tho. as an examination of trauma I don't think this has aged esp. well. #filmsky

#filmsky also, worst Ian McKellan cameo ever as Death from the Seventh Seal (whaaat?) delivering a unnecessary last minute exposition dump. I'm guessing the writers were suffering from nervous exhaustion.

#filmsky watched THE LAST ACTION HERO: curious after hearing about it's trainwreck production. some good things in it (notably Charles Dance & Bridgette Wilson) & a few self-aware moments that almost redeem the whiffy plot. but its really not satire or comedy, it's just a Planet Hollywood ad.

spot-on. the 'AI will end humanity' trope is pro AI propaganda. it's purpose is to divert people from having real conversations about the real damage it's doing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaFT...
No, AI Will Not Doom Us All. We have REAL AI Problems to deal with instead.
