The future’s open wide
I’ll stop the world and melt with you (Let’s stop the world) I’ve seen some changes but it’s getting better all the time (Let’s stop the world) There’s nothing you and I won’t do (Let’s stop the world) I’ll stop the world and melt with you
The future’s open wide Hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

Taylor Swift is tolerated because she has a huge swath of followers and uses her platform to say center/left common sense things like “stay hydrated” and “take care to not get sick”. The right hates her because she is both successful and doesn’t follow their messaging guidelines for right wing Richie’s, which they thought she was. Anyone that doesn’t like her for her politics usually starts out by saying she was good when she sang country, like a dog whistle for right wingers.
The left doesn’t like her because her messaging for climate change and her personal actions don’t mesh. Her private jet use puts her in a very lonely company of highest polluting people on the planet. She can be better but the left is thrilled she isn’t a right wing sociopath getting paid to say hurtful things.
I saw it as a teen and remember it had quite an impact. Can’t remember if it’s any good and worth a watch as an adult so would be interested to hear others opinions?
Stealing from Weissman’s board ideas, I made a gastrique with shallot and dried chiltepin for the cream cheese. The rest is all cheap and cheerful Lidl nibbles.
Hearing the movie is getting bad reviews. But Snyder says the director’s cut will be a completely different movie with a different vision. I admit Zack Snyder’s Justice League (director’s cut) was much better than the theatrical version and quite different (though I had mostly forgotten the original by then). Not sure if I...
But this is streaming and Zach Snyder was hired on the premise that he delivers his vision. There is no studio jumping in to make cuts.
Studios view the movie as a product. This process has a physical requirement to consume it of 2 hours. The point of cuts is to have more screenings in one room rather than hiring 2 rooms to show the movie. That studio integrity is met with frustration when they keep a movie as the director intended and the theater has 4 screening per day because it’s a 3 hour movie with 15 minutes between showings for cleaning.
Movie theaters are also putting pressure on the studio for short movies because they want people to move through the theater. Movie theaters don’t care about what they show as long as it brings in bodies who will eat and drink concessions. The movies are the feed and people are the cattle to be processed as quickly as possible.
The theaters want a shorter movie and the studio wants a shorter movie, so really the only person who can hold up the idea of a long movie is the director with the promise the movie will guarantee repeat viewings despite the smaller number of screenings. And Zach Snyder can’t make that promise.
His movies are the narrative equivalent of a Michael Bay movie - except Bay has better narrative and understands how to build tension. Snyder is incapable of making a low budget movie about genuine people. He is only talented when picking the color of blaster shots. His characters are trash. His plots are boring. His camera work nearly incomprehensible. There is no amount of work he can do to make his original cut work because there is nothing of substance that was cut out.
The original, and many adaptations, use morality to show the horror.nthere is no abject and outright scary shit except for the ghost of Marley who was deliberately scary to Scrooge. But even Marley was soon shown to be a miser in chains who is more grumpy than scary and there’s no way to fix that because he’s a ghost who has to tell Scrooge what’s happening. Michael Myers and Jason Vorhees are scary because they say nothing. Having a ghost give a message instantly undercuts the terror.
I never thought Alpha Centauri would be an answer to a philosophical thought experiment but the writing was brilliant enough to have already looked at this question 20 years ago. Good find.
Outside of US Cavalry and some Native Americans, what part of this is Little Big Horn or Custer? That link doesn’t she’s light on what the comic means.
The only things I remember about Generations was asking what I would do to get back into bliss and crying when the D was about to crash. I was so mad at Data for his stupid joke too. Now I get his great joke and the ship was only a model.
The third NuTrek, the one where no one expected anything good and so was had to ignore anything existing in Trek and create their own story, was actually pretty good. Probably because they had to think for themselves.
