Need some thoughts on an actor who could pull off a similar role to Robert Redford in ‘All is Lost’.

Not gender or age specific, but would need to be somewhat physically fit.

Roland Emmerich's Stargate (1994): Ra's Pyramid/Palace ship, concept by production designer Holger Gross, art by concept designer Oliver Scholl

The painting depicts the colossal pyramid mothership of the film's villain, the alien Goa'uld Ra, landed on the desert dunes of the planet Abydos.
The setting sun bathes the scene in a warm, alien glow, emphasizing the immense scale and mysterious power of the vessel.

Yeah, given the HQ is also situated about a mile away from the flat it’s a double blow. Heard the rumours, even applied for a few roles, pay scale was below average.

Everywhere is vapourware, a nonsense metaverse concept that pivoted when that collapsed and looks like a bad Fortnite clone.

The big reason to think twice about buying a smart ring is the theft of your biometric data.

“Smart ring makers ‘intentionally put the battery on the inside of the ring rather than the outside, which means the battery has no place to swell but into your finger…’” 😬

The big reason to think twice before buying a smart ring? Their batteries.

Always a joy to be at Cheltenham Literature Festival! I had a terrific time standing up for the Golden Fleece and Medea, and meeting so many of you at the book signing. Thanks to Jo and Gary and Tony, everyone who came to see me, and all the lovely staff who looked after me 💕📚
