Remember, we got to loop it through Jones!

  • I didn't like the series, mostly because it was very vanilla. I would have much preferred if it was based on A Boy and his Dog, many of the 80s Italian Mad Max clones (2019, After the Fall of New York), Neon City and even something like Turbo Kid.

    An arguement can be made that to make social commentary effective you need a bit more subtly.

  • Can't speak for the youtuber, but even though Iron Long is a short game, I felt like it had a lot of potential for expending it's lore. Some of the console entries hint to a lot of things going on.

  • I read that as Oscar Wilde for a second.

  • I am surprised this is the first time I've heard of this film.

    I thouI've seen most of the horror movies from the early 2000s (not only mainstream ones, but b-movies and below).

    Will have to check this out!

  • Side note: Just re-watched this, Carpenter predicted LLMs back in 1982!

  • but if you assume motivations of those who supported them are the same for all of them then you’re only going to antagonise those that were misled

    From my experience living in the US, that seems true.

    I traveled extensively (~15 states minimum) and I believe I had a broad exposure to local culture (from provincial "hoods" with difference ethnicities, very rich and "conservative" suburbs to more cosmopolitan experiences in NYC, Chicago, LA, SF).

    That being said, there is a limit to everything. At some point intent stops mattering and the outcome is what counts.

    My personal opinion (I may be wrong), is that US is a dead end. There won't be any any positive changes in the next 20-30 years minimum. The far right is committed to corruption, criminality and posturing around "freedoms" and "I support the law" and the centre-right voting public is too well off to rock the boat until it's too late.

  • I would argue it's not reductive to treat the current approach used to manage immigration in the US as almost comically stupid (not to mention being founded on mostly posturing and self-aggrandization "I support the law").

    Managing immigration is one thing, but allowing your country to become like russia with security forces beating and killing people under the alleged pretense of managing immigration is definitely a sign of maliciousness.

  • Children of Men had much stronger dystopian sci-fi motifs. It reminded me of Brazil for some reason. One Battle, After Another was more of a mass market feature. That being said, I watched it in the cinema and I enjoyed it. It was a good movie.

    I do think Children of Men (not to mention Brazil which is arguably a classic of cinematography by this point) is better.

    The miracle cease fire scene really caught my attention when I first saw the movie in the late 2000s.

  • This looks fun, I love horror anthologies (except when one of the short pieces is so good that I wish it was a full feature :) ).

  • I thought it was pretty good. Watched it in the cinema, I didn't regret it.

    I don't think it was the best movie of 2025, but it was entertaining and relatively well made and somewhat original.

  • Oh, I've been updating the SBCs. Although my current Pi 4 has been running for over 5 years, don't see a need to update to Pi 5.

  • It works great, I've been using a Pi SBC for torrenting for nearly 10 years now (in addition to NAS, a media server, Pi-Hole and more).

    I would strongly recommend going with DietPi. It has a great set of custom CLI management tools, very active developers and a relatively large community (150K+ installatios active last quarter). It's based on Debian for ARM so it has a solid foundation.

    Lee Cronin’s The Mummy | Official Teaser

  • Game was awesome! Minimalist but also very creepy and unnerving.

  • This is really good tech house!

  • I thought The Autopsy of Jane Doe was pretty good, I was expecting less. I thought I would like The Last Voyage of the Demeter more than I did. It started well, but then second part of the movie wasn't all that engaging.

    I will be watching Passenger.

  • Duplass make great horror.

    Although I don't think they've been able to beat the OG Creep.
