I think at some point we need to talk about how the idea that a stand-alone feature-presentation of +90 minutes being the "premier form for visual media" has stunted visual story telling. "Feature Length Movies" are not the be-all and end all of film, let alone visual media.

And how this idea when combined with rigid "auteur theory" prescription of the "Directors Vision" being the only thing that matters, has led Hollywood into a blind alley of repeating the same mistakes over and over in an attempt to turn what should be Serials into Set Pieces.

As an example, imagine for a moment, if instead of being sliced between different Directors with radically different ideas of how it should go, a recent Space Wizard series of movies had been developed as a coherent series. With a character bible, and a forward planned outline.

(Or for that matter, the original trilogy of Space Wizard movies. And no, no one who's a writer really buys that it was conceived as a trilogy, when the middle and last movie have such wildly different characterisation and intents. Sound similar?)

Re: Stars War. I would be happy if they did no more movies, and just TV shows from now on. Because there's a script editor for TV shows.

I don't know why, but the notification tab always shows I have 15 new notifications, no matter how many there actually are.

Would I be wrong in assuming a cadre of the people who were desperately trying to keep SF&F publishing in the 1950s, decamped to go help drag Romance publishing back to the 1950s?

As they say, catch your eggcorns before they hitch.

Just finished the final episode of Mr.Robot. If you didn't watch Mr.Robot, I certainly recommend it as binge worthy with the benefit of knowing it is not a mystery box show, and they really did have a complete story arc to tell from the start, and a satisfying ending.

After some investigation, I have determined that the new Microsoft Console's name is in roman numerals, and meant to be pronounced TenboTen SeventyOneSeventy Ten.

Imagine what might have happened if the movie producers had gotten confused, and we'd gotten a Horny CGI version of Les Misérables.

I have some complaints about this Flu DLC, I did not want this download, and it has ruined game balance. And I'm worried it's voided the warranty on my Lungs!?!

I can not justify buying one of these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/173895232691

I am your friend, and I will never force you to watch Cats (2019)

Going to the kitchen made me feel woozy. So not going to see a Star War tonight.
