If he spots this toot, I expect eldest kid will comment, but...

He thought 'Sting' was an actual character in the narrative of Dune.

This is because whenever the Lynch Dune came up, and Feyd was on screen, I'd say "It's Sting!".

So he just assumed that was the character Sting.

Only this week did I explain that Austin Butler and Sting played the same character.

So this one had a ton of stuff from the comics and prior series.

Lilandra, Gladiator and the Shi’ar. The Kree and Ronan. The horse alien species that Beta Ray Bill is one of. Professor X not being dead, but actually being saved by Lilandra who he’s in love with. The prior Shi’ar civil war of the M’kraan crystal.

Still pretty good drama for Professor X having to make a difficult choice.

Meanwhile, the Storm sequence was excellent. Classic costume and all.

Right now, I think Aquaman 2 might be one of the best films of 2024.

I think James Wan is great, and Jason Momoa is great in this part.

nostr:npub1t9r75fkh6hu7xqrzz6n9rchsgaryt0xsaar2yjd9hq255a8ugm4s7h9ug4 I get the impulse to take a fairly innocuous thing (e.g. cartoons) and then "make them dark".

And I can see it working if it goes all in on the concept.

E.g. There's things like "Meet The Feebles" which are definitely *not for kids*.

Roger Rabbit I think tries to have its cake and eat it too. Featuring plenty of cameos from very well known characters, but also trying to run a dark (ish) storyline.

The complete removal of access to Classic Doctor Who from (legally compliant) Australian  fans is one of the clearest examples of how the current streaming business model is broken.

The shows are right there on someone's disk, but no. Deals and IP and farts are the reason no-one can legally watch it.

IMO the tone of it changed dramatically whether someone treated it as "generic serious old person" or "Werner Herzog, celebrated film director".


6 or so months ago, a manger did a presentation. As part of it, they put a meme that featured Werner Herzog as the main image.

I said "That's Werner Herzog".

And everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

This experience haunts me as being emblematic of our current times.

I've been playing Shin Megami Tensei V.

I'm not too surprised since I played a lot of SMT IV and most of the weird Fire Emblem crossover on the Wii U.

Even with that experience, it's still amazing how hardcore and old school this game is. Compared to Final Fantasy, which has seemingly turned into an action game, the turn-based RPGs in SMT feel like they have changed little in 30 or so years.

At this point, I'm not sure I have the time to finish it. But I appreciate having a grindy JRPG that is all about the combat.

An addendum to this...

I know there's a bunch of encrypted messaging services.

But it seems the problem is getting the major institutions (banks, govt, companies, etc) to use something more secure rather than SMS.


Ok...

So I just had an idea, and I'm guessing someone's already thought of it, but it's practically too hard to implement (or something).

But why don't they use Public-Key Cryptography on text messages?

Surely this would eliminate the majority of scam texts and calls?

If you were to ask me if 'Rising' by Rainbow is one of the best Heavy Metal albums ever made, I will probably say yes.

At very least, I'll say it has one of the best album covers.

Demon Slayer is probably the first anime where the characters are 3D models (I think) but look effectively as stylish as hand drawn art.
