Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.

Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

Reminder that the best defence against authoritarianism is ALWAYS absurdism. It doesn’t matter how natty your jackboots are, nobody looks scary when oppressing Creatures.

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

There’s an interview going around about AI, so before there are any questions, let me state unequivocally that BLACK PHONE 2 is 100% organic. AI was not used at any stage of the filmmaking from idea generation, research, look books, writing, onscreen images - anything. We’re old school and love it.

"The consumers won't care if it's AI."

Ah yes, horror fans -- y'know, the people who famously ask "Are the FX Practical?!" about literally every movie -- definitely won't care that you're feeding them prompt-generated slop. Good call there.

I've been informed that "The Fades" is back on iPlayer -
I absolutely LOVED this 6 part supernatural series when it was first shown in 2011, and if you've never seen it before, or haven't watched it in a while, I recommend it - especially during the spooky season! 👻

The Fades

Seventeen-year old Paul can see the spirits of the dead. When one of these restless spirits crosses back into the living world, he is forced into a fight to prevent the apocalypse.

There are now one or two of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every single day.

According to Smithsonian astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, that figure is only going to keep climbing.

I dunno, I didn't expect to spend so much of my forties getting mad at so-called conservative Christians who can't get basic tenets of the faith of the undivided Catholic Church right. I'm going to end up arguing for recitation of the Athanasian Creed on all the days the BCP specified.

McAvoy! Wow. I missed something there.

Weirdly, the best C de B I ever saw was at the Edinburgh Festival, with a translation into Scots. Fantastic energy

Okay, that was perhaps not my favourite translation of Cyrano De Bergerac, but Adrian Lester was superb.

A cool charity in Hoxton that teaches & gives disadvantaged kids skills in filmmaking has asked me a question:

Any female animators want to take part in a mentorship programme they run?

They've been doing good work for 25+ years.
