There’s also a video game that uses a very Moebius style that’s unrelated to all this, it’s called Sable and its a lot of fun.
Pantheon is dope as living fuck and one of the few scifis about things in the near future that seems hopeful
Disney uses the hell out of Unreal Engine tho, they used it extensively for the filming of The Mandalorian.
I wish they’d go bankrupt but they will be fine off of Unreal royalties alone.
Tim Curry was born to play perfect villains.
It’s from a fake website from a fake news channel that was actually a UHF channel that closed shop 50 years ago
It really is a great bad movie
I’ve generally heard 26.04 isn’t doing too hot right now, and I always thought there wasn’t an officially supported upgrade path until things are more stable in the new release, but maybe that’s Ubuntu proper and not Kubuntu.
I haven’t gotten a notice to upgrade, however. Also on Kubuntu 24.04.
Also Con Air, a star studded wild romp that’s so fucking stupid it rounds the bend to brilliant.
Ok so I actually just really love bad movies, that’s the thing. I could be on this thread all day.
Some movies are just good fun, and Nicolas Cage is frankly in a lot of those kind of flicks. Con Air is up there, too.
Robocop singing power ballads.
Jeff Goldblum in a goofy cowboy outfit.
John Lithgow as a scientist gone mad from what he’s seen and Christopher Lloyd as a weird alien.
God it’s a fucking treasure along the lines of Big Trouble in Little China.
Oh Frankenhooker is far more thoughtful and clever than Zombie Strippers, imho.
The end of the film almost makes it a feminist film when the tables are turned and the main character gets his comeuppance.
Also Hard Ticket to Hawaii
I don’t know any other film that passes the Bechdel test in a scene where two former Playboy models are topless in a hot tub together and talk about something other than men (there are no men in the scene, just the two women). A very unique and strange way to pass the Bechdel test that feels like it undermines the entire point of the Bechdel test existing.
Frankenhooker.
It’s crass and trashy and I fucking love it.
I feel personally attacked. It’s better than the first film.
Los locos kick your ass, los locos kick your face, los locos kick your balls into outer spaaaaace!
A great performance by Michael McKean as always.
We just don’t talk about Fisher Stevens. Poor guy deeply regrets the role.
Punked out Johnny Five is the best Johnny Five.

Will you be ready when there is no healthcare and you’re diagnosed young with cancer unexpectedly, which is happening to a growing number of young people. Will you be afraid when you can’t take care of yourself and you’re dying painfully because the treatment is unaffordable to you?
All these things are well and good, but your life can get royally fucked in moments where you’re suddenly fully reliant on a broken system just to stay alive. Your neighbors, friends, and community can’t magically get you your $20k a month cancer meds, they’re all struggling, too.
Source: Got cancer unexpectedly young, have to rely on Medicaid to stay the fuck alive.
Did you upgrade or is it a new install?
I thought upgrades weren’t officially available until August.

Climate change. Shit is going to get super real in the next 20 years. Like half the planet starving real.
Apple has always banned you from sideloading anything on an iPhone and now Google is following suit. Soon Google will make sidelong a giant pain in the ass and only available to “decelopers” with the reason being to scare normal people into thinking doing things how they are done now is “too dangerous” and that they need to nanny us and not give us full control of our devices.
Microsoft is still desperately trying to shove everyone onto their Microsoft store and their “universal” appx bullshit or whatever. Once enough people have been switched over, its game over for traditional executables.
For context the Microsoft Store came out in 2012 and was a big reason why Valve went all-in on Linux because they could see what Microsoft’s long term goal was here from a mile away.
It’s been 13 years of slow build up to this.
You are the frog in the slowly boiling pot.
