I hate CGI in modern movies. Everything looks fake. CGI used to complement practical effects and it was often fine. Now it's all CGI and it looks absolutely shite. Every single time.

Overhead movie poster for Paul: a small grey alien with a large head and black eyes stands between Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who look up in shock. Purple glowing sci-fi background with the tagline, “Who’s up for a close encounter?”

Watching "Paul". One of those fun, goofy, feel-good movies that deserve more attention than they seem to get.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Final post in the M&A opens up (I hope) some new pathways & opportunities. Very happy to talk with in-house teams & specialist consultants. We may create a field book. With very little amendment, it could become a generic approach to organisational change thecynefin.co/ma-12-12-a-n...

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was a painful watch. I mean, what the hell?

M&A 11/12: Cynefin as Meta-Framework - The Cynefin Co The Cynefin framework is not a single method but a foundational meta-framework that informs when, why, and how to apply the methods previously described in a merger. It provides the essential sense-ma...

Penultimate post in the M&A series now up, on using Cynefin as a meta-Framework, navigating the domains of merger integration and including what may be a significant update to the nature and use of the aporetic domain. thecynefin.co/ma-11-12-cyn...

Satyendra Nath Bose (1894–1974) was a brilliant Indian theoretical physicist/polymath. He revolutionized quantum mechanics in 1924, developing Bose-Einstein statistics & predicting the Bose-Einstein condensate.

Einstein was 1st to recognize his brilliance.

Bosons are named for him. 🧪

3) "Solid Sernade" (1946)

This short has everything you’d expect from T&J, but cranked to eleven. From Tom’s singing to Jerry untying Spike where the real fight begins, and the timing is perfect. Standout moments include Tom wacking Spike with a brick as he peeps above him. Excellent short overall.

It’s sheer perfection! My favourite.

Men in Black, and Back to The Future. Great, entertaining, fun movies!

Men in Black II, and Back to The Future II. Flawed, not nearly as much fun as the first ones. Almost best forgotten.

Men in Black 3, and Back to The Future 3. Back to the form: fun, entertaining, and MiB3 was even poignant.

Who hates Thrall? And why? Such a great character and character arc.

Watch Kermit and Piggy Squirm Through a Lie Detector Test

Kermit and Miss Piggy take the infamous Vanity Fair lie detector test, and the result is Muppets comedy gold.

I am so interested to see how the same press that lost its collective mind over a tan suit, eating ice cream, falling off a bike, the way a woman laughed, and other meaningless bullshit protects him, and normalizes this despicable, racist, disqualifying behavior that would end any other presidency.

An excellent choice!

USA, sort out your fascist, oligarchy, theorcratic state.

The Stop Killing Games initiative aiming to save video games from death by live service destruction has passed required thresholds for evaluation towards potential European legislation.   www.mmorpg.com/news/stop-ki...

Indeed!

I so much hate the excessive use of CGI in movies and shows these days. It’s more annoying than Apple’s Liquid Glass, by far.

What a surprise! I just started watching it a few minutes ago. So good!

Daniel Craig was very good as Bond, but apart from Casino Royale (brilliant) and maybe Skyfall, the scripts were shite.

And what the fuck were they even thinking writing No Time to Die? Idiots. #Bond

I call bullshit.

I feel seen.

Aye.

And speaking of creepy sounds and Event Horizon, this track by Lustmord is pure eldritch material.

Nerdy fact, IMSAI 8080 was also the computer used by David Lightman in the 1983 movie WarGames. #movies

Ambassador of Denmark to the United States…

YouTube video by AbbaVEVO ABBA - Eagle (Video)

ABBA is one of those rare bands that don't have a bad song in their entire repertoire.

One of their perhaps lesser known, but equally brilliant songs: Eagle.

The United States of America is now the enemy of the EU and the rest of the Western world.

Your country is a rogue state, a pariah state.

If you don't rise against the fascist tyranny, there'll be nothing left of what used to be the USA. There's little left even now, and the clock is ticking.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant movie!

Movie poster of Chevy Chase movie Fletch.

”Fletch” is one of my favourite comedies. No matter how many times I watch it, it’s always just as funny as when I first saw it. I’d say it’s Chevy Chase’s best movie.
