It seems maybe they're so desperate to "fit the mold" they took it literally.

Or maybe there's something about the true nature of their souls finally emerging?

I hate to say it, but Jeffries' months-ago posing with that bat was so tone deaf it hurt. We are doomed if we keep this up, and by "we" I mean the whole US.

Prey was fu¢<in' awesome! Badlands if near up there...maybe a 2nd viewing will shift that.

This weekend is Avatar again, preceded by "Zootopia 2", which is also fun and a fitting sequel. May not have time for it, though, as the PNW Christmas map is calling to me hard.

Badlands...that was really good. First time having a predator as protagonist, and seemed to work very well. I don't know if I rate it as high as "Prey", but very much that same in going outside of the traditional Predator themes.

Avatar was good, in the same vein as "The Way of Water" in terms of scale. Some more character fill-out that was good and not (thankfully) flat. Worth watching again.

Have never like the Bond openings, though some of the Daniel Craig period at least featured better theming and music. But Bond was originally written to satisfy some hypersexualized version of spies. Ugh. Give me Alec Guinness or Gary Oldman in Tinker Tailor any day, or Slow Horses.

For one thing, they can see and record anything else you do that you think to be private.

Remember that in the US privacy IS NOT A RIGHT. Indeed, the DOJ has successfully prosecuted developers of software that truly protects the users' privacy.
