- Comment on Cinema has a physical media problem and it just keeps getting worse 1 day ago:
That has been my concern for a while - they are making content not good films or TV and the metric of success is the number of new subs it can pull in then, when it’s job is done, they just cancel the shows.

- Comment on Borderlands film director blames flop on Zoom and Covid 2 days ago:
It was badly conceived, planned, cast, executed and then undermined by studio interference. It failed at every single level and I don’t think Covid can take the blame.

Quite a quiet one this week.
- Comment on Has anyone here watched Conclave? How was it? 3 days ago:
Strong central performances save a plot with some pretty contrived plot developments. Worth a watch but you have to suspend belief. So a lot like the Church.

That’s not a panda, that’s Jack Black in a panda costume and he won’t need more awards after he wins all the Oscars for saying “chicken jockey”.

Anyway, I am uploading some here:

However, we’ve experimented with them and they aren’t currently drawing over new videos into Lemmy, and @flamingos@feddit.uk has figured out why so we should be getting that fixed.
Of the ones I updated I’d flag up:
- Steamboat Willy - just became PD this year and means that version of Mickey Mouse is now free to use, at least initially that means in crappy horror films.
- Laurel and Hardy: Battle of the Century - once thought to be lost except for the custard pie fight (which my Dad was a big fan of), the bulk of it has been found and it is all now PD.
Would folks be interested in a “public domain film” community? I’ve pondered starting one.

And by latest do you mean recently made PD?
- Comment on Universal theme park for Bedfordshire confirmed by Starmer 1 week ago:
Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the government had agreed with Universal that British steel would be used “where possible” on the project.
“That’s the case with HS2, with Heathrow, and with this private investment here in Bedfordshire,” she said.
And yet they won’t endorse Buy British.

I’m fine with people getting rowdy (I went to a late screening of Spider-Man: No Way Home that was pretty raucous and it added to the fun) but I draw the line at throwing water and popcorn around as the cinema staff have to clean up that mess.

- Comment on Report: Disney Is Putting the Live-Action Tangled on Hold 1 week ago:
Good. I’ve yet to hear of a live action remake that doesn’t sound like a pointless cash-grab.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I was put off by the casting of Jared Leto but it looks like it’ll be an impressive cinematic experience (especially with a NIN soundtrack) even if it is dumb as stumps. My main quibble is in the designs - they seem overly complex where the simplicity of the originals was perfect.
- Comment on Sick notes to be overhauled in back-to-work drive, Liz Kendall reveals 1 week ago:
The ideology around this is clear when you consider the government’s focus on getting people with long term mental health conditions into work, apparently without doing anything to improve mental health support.
This is the bit that I don’t get - help people improve their mental health and they’ll go back to work. That should be the Labour approach. Unfortunately, they are going the brutal Tory way and just cutting help to force people to do it. The underlying assumption must be that they consider a lot of the people impacted by this to be abusing the system. It all stinks.

I saw a Rolls Royce Chelsea tractor (proper footballer’s wives material - probably waa) the other day that was doing the school run. Money really can’t buy taste.
We should ban them because they are bad for people and the environment but also because they are naff.
