I honestly don't feel this at all. He's not great, don't get me wrong but for me, never jarringly bad. Like S Coppola in Godfather 3 bad. Both top directors, but I think objectively 1 is worse than the other. At least one has the self awareness not to shoehorn herself into her own films, to be fair.

Great ad. Though ironically BBC output would be 1000% better if they commissioned all of these. But please send this to all present day BBC execs as a reminder of what their job is.

Printed ODEON cinema ticket on a dark background. The ticket shows the ODEON logo and “Rank Theatres Limited” at the top. The cinema location is Ipswich. The film title reads “Back to the Future II”. The date is Friday 24 November 1989, with a start time of 6.00 pm. The ticket includes row and seat fields and a printed serial number on the right. The perforated edge with punched holes is visible on the left.

Poster artwork for Back to the Future Part II. Marty McFly and Doc Brown stand in front of the DeLorean time machine, both looking at their wristwatches. Marty wears a red jacket and futuristic trainers, and Doc wears a long coat. Blue lightning and light effects surround them. The title “Back to the Future Part II” appears at the top in large, stylised lettering.

One of the great sequels. Never tire of watching this.

A vintage paper cinema ticket from Gallery Cinemas in the Queensmere Centre, Slough. The ticket is for Batman (1989), certificate 12, dated Thursday 10 August 1989, with a 22:15 screening time. It shows screen 6, row Q, seat 19, showing a price of £3.25. The ticket is white and purple with perforated edges and a “No Smoking” notice.

The teaser poster for Batman (1989), featuring the iconic black-and-gold bat symbol centred on a black background. The logo appears metallic and glossy, with subtle highlights. The release date “June 23” is printed in small white text beneath the emblem.

It’s difficult to overstate just how pumped me and my friends were for Batman in 1989. Just that teaser poster alone had us in giddy with excitement. Just as Roger Moore is my Bond, Keaton is my Batman. Looking back it’s all a bit patchy, but we didn’t care at the time.

Cinema ticket for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, dated Sunday 30 July 1989. The ticket shows the title “Indiana J (PG)”, seat D16, a 9:45 screening, and a price of £3.50, printed on a white UCI ticket with red detailing, photographed against a dark textured background.

Original illustrated poster for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Indiana Jones in his fedora dominates the centre, with Sean Connery as his father beside him. Supporting characters appear around the edges, with desert chases and horses below. The artwork is rendered in warm golden and sepia tones.

I was 11 when Raiders came out but 19 by the time The Last Crusade arrived. Star Wars feels very much like my childhood, but I was older when this one came out — and it still completely charmed me. Something the two films that followed never quite managed to pull off.

How Badenoch’s meeting with Mike Johnson led to Trump’s Chagos deal rant A brief encounter set off a chain of events that culminated in a public rebuff to the US president from Keir Starmer

So it was Badenoch *personally* who stabbed Britain in the back during the Greenland crisis! Simply unbelievable. Ought to be a resignation matter.

"Trump Polyp"... Jesus Christ, that's as gross as it is perfect!

Maybox cinema ticket for RoboCop, dated Friday 5 February 1988. Screen 5, seat N25, 9:25pm showing, priced £2.50. Printed on pale blue paper with Maybox Movie Theatres branding for Queensmere Centre, Slough.

Original RoboCop poster showing RoboCop stepping out of a police car at night, lit by blue and purple city lights. The tagline reads “Part man. Part machine. All cop.” with the title RoboCop and “The future of law enforcement” beneath.

Predator. The Lost Boys. RoboCop.
All within a month. What a time to be alive.

There’s nothing new to say about this one that hasn’t already been said. A stone-cold classic, and if anything it only gets better with age. Still sharp, still funny, still brutal.

We extracted (parts of) 12 books in experiments with 4 frontier-lab, production LLMs.

We prompted the LLMs with a short prefix of a book and asked them to complete the rest. For Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, we extracted 95.8% of the book from jailbroken Claude 3.7 Sonnet.

First post. What a film to start with. So iconic they’re still making them nearly 40 years later.

What just happened ...

This obsession with drinking water at work has become a pandemic. 10 years ago you just used to have a nice cuppa in the kitchen every hour. Now you can't move for people chugging from 3 litre bottles of water that they carry everywhere. They're like fucking camels. anon_opin GOLD from 27th September 2024

BBC to fight Trump’s $10bn lawsuit, saying it should be dismissed Corporation will argue it did not have rights to air film in US and it did not cause serious reputational harm

The BBC is correct to stand firm on this.

For it is only by being resolute in be face of this illiberal and misconceived claim that there will be any chance of a satisfactory outcome.

BBC gets many things wrong, but this they are getting right.

I did seasonal work for Dixons around this era. I remember Super Nintendos and Mega Drives Stocked ceiling high in the stock room and playing all the latest games after hours in the name of research. Halcyon days!

This whole series has been an eye opener, I learned a lot about people I only really knew snippets and annecdotes about. Thank you chaps!

I didn't see that one. Sounds like a crazy argument to make.

I always remember the "Gun control is Bullshit" episode as I'd enjoyed the whole series until that one where I completely disagreed with him. I wonder if his views have changed there, too. As it was essentially a whole libertarian argument he made.

Windpower sets new record for baseload - Energy Live News Wind supplied 43% of all power last week setting a new record of 22.7 GW

Britain has set a new wind generation record.

"At 7:30pm on 11 November wind turbines...provided enough clean electricity to power more than 22 million homes"

"Wind was delivering 43.6% of all power on the system which means three quarters of Britain’s homes were effectively running on wind alone"

What are we talking about here, Rhod? This is like one of those ambiguous Facebook posts Mandy used to make back in the day...
