The one thing I want is for the iPad to accept an external hard drive with a file system so I can work on stuff on my hard drive on the iPad. If I could shoot video on an external camera, dump it to a hard drive, work off that drive on LumaFusion (why Apple hasn’t made a stronger FCP-style app for iPad is beyond me),…

Did you see this bit where someone put the Williams music over the sneak peek of Supergirl S2 (Superman’s first appearance)? It’s so good. It’s got the warmth of Clark and the wonder of the “can you read my mind” theme and then the bombast and action of the main theme.

That’s not true though. It is perhaps the most VISIBLE issue that affects you as a techie, but voter suppression, health care, tariffs and trade wars, systemic racism and police brutality, education, gun violence, global climate change, ALL those issues affect you, and most of them more than NN. They may just not be…

Good call on “Good Morning,” it’s the most underrated Ozu film.

That also happened on TNG - the final scene filmed was the poker room scene with Picard walking in. Frakes kept messing up his lines, and after like 7 takes, yelled, “what are they gonna do, FIRE ME?”

Lemme introduce you to a little film called “Always” and his best friend, “1941"

While this is generally true, there are some sneaky good cheaper whiskys that will do in a pinch (I personally like Benchmark No 8). I like to have a cheap bottle and a nice bottle on hand.

Amazon has no obligation here. The dude can host an epub on his website, write his own payment processing backend, etc. If that doesn’t work, the dude is totally free to print up pamphlets of his work and hand them out on a street corner.

10.2 Jaguar is the glaring omission, it’s the first version to be less of a beta and more of a real OS with apps and maturity. Before Jaguar I used to run in os 9 all the time, but with Jaguar I ditched OS 9 for good.

David Yates could do it. He did a competent job with the Harry Potter films, distilling the prose into blockable action. He would do a competent journeyman job with the Bond franchise.

Having read the book I can say I was bored by the film.

Maybe hire a woman to do a story about Victorian women? Especially since they hired a guy who is personally such a mess when it comes to his relationships with women and how they translate into his work. We don’t need more Joss Whedon poser feminist pieces.

So are we gonna have a blistering article about what horrific frauds they are? Because the team you relentlessly called out as frauds, while not a great team, is moving forward.

It was taught at my film school, but I think it’s not taught at every school. The truth is James Cameron can get away with it because he has made 2 of the all-time great box office performers, and Terminator 2 and Aliens on top of it. He is a proven box office deliverer. Terry Gilliam...is not that.

Except almost every single one is late, overbudget, and plagued with issues. And he never blames himself, he always blames the system and shits on directors like Spielberg because he’s jealous of their success.

The only two films of his that have been all that successful for me are the ones that had real studio backing…

You don’t think Iceland has a chance? Are Croatia and Nigeria that powerful?

Why? Seriously, why? Why does it matter so much? Why does it hurt so much? I’m a fan, but I’m never gonna let it become so personal that I get sad and angry about bad entries in the IP. It’s just media, it can always be rebooted well, and my life shouldn’t revolve around what some big corporation who doesn’t have my…

Righteous rant. I do think you underestimate how many of the vitriolic trolls are people who have been around fandom as long as you and have as much cred as you. It’s not just the new folks shouting racist shit. It’s the old school dudes. Just look at SF novel fandom, it’s a cesspool, and most of the folks making it…

“I will hate it and Johnson to my dying day”

and Johnson? Like you will literally hate a person because they made an artistic decision you disagree with? If your love of Star Wars is that personal you need to back away. It’s not okay to actually hate another human because they did an art you didn’t like.

And this is…
