- Comment on Predator: Badlands will have the Predator as its hero: ‘the creature is front and centre’ 2 days ago:
My impression is it’s a human colony, so it might not be adding much more back story than we already have but it might be the kind of world they were trying to get to in Romulus and/or a fully terraformed world (the end process we saw the start of in the first two Alien films). So the future setting could help tie the two universes together. I suspect they’ll have offered Trachtenberg an Alien film if he wants it but an Alien vs Predator one would also make sense. I suppose this could be a stealth one as a Xenomorph would definitely put the Predator on the back foot. I seem to recall an early AvP Dark Horse Comic set on a farm on a colony world which worked well. However, we’ll have to wait and see.

Yeah, if you are looking for a big science fantasy film that largely flew under the radar in the West then that’s the one. A few people here have seen it and they all spoke favourably about it.

As well as J-Bone’s recommendations:
- Kalki 2898 AD - like an Indian Star Wars that is set in a dystopian future but mixes in mythology. It’s long and I was initially unimpressed but it keeps ramping up to wild levels and completely won me round. It’s India’s most expensive film and only part 1.
- A Quiet Place: Day One - I thought the first two were great and was unsure if a prequel would work as well, but it does.
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - a return to New York should have delivered a film on oar with the original but it didn’t hit the spot (perhaps because of the rather poor quality baddie). However, it is worth a watch.
- Poor Things - very odd, fantastical film. Could have done being trimmed down but like nothing else you’ll see in the cinema.
- Godzilla: Minus One - just watched the Minus Color version in the cinema on Godzilla Day and it still stands on, the B&W suiting the more melodramatic plot.
- Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes - if you love the series you’ll likely enjoy the prequel. If you aren’t a fan you can skip it.
- The Creator - I was increasingly unconvinced by the plot as the film progressed but it doesn’t half look good.
- Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - after Crystal Skull anything would be an improvement but this exceeded my, admittedly, low expectations and was a fun romp. Fourth, perhaps third, best Indy film depending on how well you think Temple of Doom has aged.
- Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse - it would be difficult to beat the first film but I think this one might do.
- Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - wasn’t as big a fan of 2 than one but the series finished really strong.
- Shazam! Fury of the Gods - didn’t get a great reception but I enjoyed it for what it was, dumb fun.

I presume they would maintain separate user account databases (without some concerted hacking).
I’m hoping at some point that different services will allow shared logins (with APIs it should be relatively straightforward) or a separate ID service (ActivityPods?).

If we were to add another service, I’d want something a bit more interesting.

Coconut has a lot of saturated fat, so I’d say unhealthy. Deep-fried Snickers on the other hand…

A counter-argument is that they are punishing mental illness:
In mitigation the court heard Ruane had mental health issues from childhood trauma and had alcohol dependence.
The defendant claimed he had no memory of sending the messages as he was “blind drunk” every day at the time.
Like the Prevent scheme where a “staggeringly high” number people on it are autistic.

- Comment on Filmmaker Oliver Stone on studios releasing older films on 4K Ultra HD 1 week ago:
I suppose major studios don’t want to invest in 4ks that won’t sell but with the attached names and awards this feels like a no-brainer. Apparently a boutique Blu-ray releaser has to step up but at least it gets it out there and there is now a 4k master available for other regions.

Sounds like Waititi has accepted so many offers that quite a few are on the back burner, including Flash Gordon.

- Comment on Neon sets December release for speculative sci-fi doc ‘2073’ 1 week ago:
Those are fancy terms, “speculative sci-fi documentary” and “speculative nonfiction”, for what is clearly fiction.
Still it sounds intriguing, although a bit bleak.
