"I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler."

That last one has to be a guy who doesn't understand why he is so attracted to the Kens.

Am still thinking about this movie. On fiuther reflection, I think Damien Chazelle's would have been brilliant as a limited TV series.

Each of those characters had an interesting journey that could have been explored in more detail. E.g. Jean Smart, who I had only previously seen in FX's Legion, was amazing as the gossip columnist. She gets much more credit here from her fellow actors than in the movie itself. youtu.be/Pm2fEoeXkV8

The manic segments, including the big party scene and other similar ones, could have been retained, and would have been balanced against more introspective, exposition pieces.

1. History is not there for you to like or dislike.
2. History is there for you to learn from it.
3. History offends you? Even better. Then you are less likely to repeat it.

Please read this out loud, then read it again. Then teach it to your children and grandchildren.

After much fiddling with Outlook permissions, we have finally managed to email some 50 schools to invite them to #UCLChemAirPoll for autumn round of measurements. If you know of a (preferably Inner London) primary school that would like to participate in an air pollution measurement project, tell them to get in touch with us. We'd love to learn with them! uclchemairpoll.wordpress.com/

#Movie review of "#Babylon" (2022) 

Really enjoyed Damien Chazelle's "Babylon" last night, a loving look at early Hollywood. Full of laugh-out-loud moments and just cracking performances from everyone.

BUT. The critics are right, it tries to do too much, with too many characters, at times is a bit too messy. Where it features lots of homages, you might struggle to pick any one iconic scene here that would make it into a future homage.

If anything, they could have reduced this film and done a second, with the parallel story of the Black Jazz trumpeter. There was one scene in particular for him where the movie just froze on a difficult choice to be made. His movie could have shown his side of the same period. Discussed here with that actor, Jovan Adepo: cassiuslife.com/627171/jovan-a
[Spoilers]

(Personal gripe, scenes are often distractingly out of focus. This happened with First Man as well.)

This is a credible proposal for DRM for websites in general. It would enable unbeatable adblock-blocking. It would prevent user customization for not just convenience but also accessibility.

I do not say this lightly: Enabling the forfeiture of control over the browsing experience is a fundamentally evil idea that must be rejected now, as it has been in the past, and we must remain vigilant against its reemergence in the future.

If the reports oh his arrest are true this is likely part of the larger post-Wagner mutiny crackdown. Stelkov-Girkin represented nascent pro-war opposition to the Kremlin. Attempts to consolidate power by the Kremlin continue.

"#Oppenheimer is 600 pounds of 70mm #IMAX film, and it wouldn’t work so well on-screen if it weren’t for a 21-year-old #PDA." #RetroTech

Here’s why 70mm IMAX movies like Oppenheimer need a #PalmPilot to work - The Verge

Wow, this is big: Igor #Strelkov / #Girkin detained and charged with extremism in Russia
bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-66
He has a lot to answer for in how the #Ukraine war started in 2014 - a former officer (likely of #GRU background) occupied #Sloviansk in the #Donbas with a couple of dozen men and started the armed conflict, with #Russia 's covert then overt support
And mainly he was behind the shooting down of #MH17 - convicted by a Durch court

Yesterday, German news channel Deutsche Welle (dw.com) published a new documentary on YouTube: "Poverty in Britain - Why are millions of Brits so broke?". It's a 42 minute piece documenting the state of things in Britain today.

Here's the thing:
The URL is youtu.be/BK68yyrKUOA - except that if you are trying to watch it from the UK, you're faced with this message: "Video unavailable"

I am currently outside the UK, which is how I got to see this film. If you have access to a VPN, use it.

In a field of 17 candidates, I came 8th. And for the second time in three years, I beat UKIP and Piers Corbyn in a democratic election. If that’s not a sign of hope, nothing is.

Near at Regent's Place, a big screen has been set up so you can watch the Women's World Cup. Bring sunscreen though, as it's exposed even at 10am! Nearest Underground: Warren St or Great Portland St.

School disco time. Year 6 leavers going for Bon Jovi, Joan Jett, Ghostbusters, alongside Galantis, Harry Styles, 90s house...and Macarena. I've trained them well.

How Oppenheimer could ACTUALLY have destroyed the world

…plus how the US’s largest ever nuclear test was AN ACCIDENT, and what this teaches us about the limits of calculation in calculated risks.
