Eh, it's still fun. It's almost pointless to do an antihero story for major studio films; American audiences just end up siding with the villain if given the most screen time. Unless a character looks directly into the frame and says, "Don't do this." And even then . . . . Anyway, here's a fun meme.

Fun sci-fi trivia: John Sladek wrote dark satires, including a novel which predicted President Regan (see the French cover below) and people turning their personality into data, and another called TIK-TOK about a sociopathic robot who gets rich running a private health care company.
Between the three festivals in August, you can practically live at the theater all month—over 30 different screenings, nearly 80 hours worth of programming. Filmed by Bike: cstpdx.com/filmed-by-bi... Queer Screams: cstpdx.com/queer-screams/ Hanabi: cstpdx.com/hanabi/

Hello. We're older than the Blazers, bring in internationally known stars, account for a high volume of foot traffic and are vital to the other businesses in our area. It would be devastating to the community if we moved, and we have needed renovations. We'd like some welfare, please.
Seems relevant again with the news of the USPS drafting rules for vote by mail registration and the DOGE offshoot National Design Studio staging a passport and voter website under the sole control of the executive branch.

Anytime some rich Silicon Valley dickhead rattles off their AI-poisoned-brained opinion on humanity from the safe space of their high castle, it makes you wonder what would happen if they spouted such garbage within earshot of, like, any public space or neighborhood bar. This scene comes to mind.
Excited for what we have planned for summer! If, you know, the water crisis doesn't turn into a month-long forest fire choking the city in ash and smoke.
