...for upcoming #70YearsOfBond. So: would anyone publish this - parody-protected? - Fleming re-telling for a modern media-literate audience?

NB not my government food package, but at least mildly dystopian if - like me - you'd just finished reading Make Room! Make Room! to see if it has the same ending as Soylent Green

& currently on 4OD or whatever it's called now, probably for another couple of weeks - presumably low-ish budget found-footage scifi with 1-2 tracks of the kind of Fascist Groove Thang that Heaven 17 were warning us about

Listened to the latest episode with Lola director, Andrew Legge. Really interesting on his unique debut feature film, not only Irish sci-fi but filmed entirely on 16mm & 35mm film by the actors themselves. Great cast too, and chilling premise. See it now in cinemas. 💚🎥

& more - arguably straightforward - Sirk free on the C4 player here, part-inspiration for Todd Haynes' Far from Heaven (2002)

last few days to catch classic Douglas Sirk melodrama Imitation of Life free on the C4 player - see if you get the end titles recommendation: "You may also enjoy... Denzel Washington in The Equalizer"

an astonishing time-capsule of a world & way of life that, in many ways, no longer exists...
(also a shame there isn't more info on how this was recovered, how many old Dr Who shows we taped over while making it etc)

I'm sure it's been covered, but every planet and spaceship - however small? - appears to have Earth gravity and atmosphere
Give me your best Star Wars nitpicks. No reasonable criticisms or analysis, I'm talking real pedantic here.

maybe everyone always knew this, but - Phill Jupitus did the cool illustrations in Billy Bragg's Back to Basics songbook when he was known as Porky The Poet in 1985

reminded of "sick building syndrome" by a passing mention in Will Self's (2006) The Book of Dave - Wikipedia claims the US epidemic was ended by better ventilation as measured by lower CO2?

expect people still get RSI but it's somehow slipped from public consciousness in the last decade or so - and/or did optical mice destroy the once-lucrative market for mousepads?

...perhaps unapplied supermarket discounts are a subtle "self-service surcharge" that many happily pay?

This is a tax on introverts

Sometimes the value of a 'human touch' is negative. People willing to pay 50% more for Waymo than Lyft, despite longer waiting times.

not really @bestofnextdoor but interesting moral conundrum - should shoplifters have to queue at the tills with everyone else & thus create delays for legitimate customers?

The good thing about nobody reading anymore is it's become really easy to seem intelligent on public transport. I used to have to read Kafka if I wanted to impress people on the bus. Now I can read the back of a Liam Neeson DVD and they're like "Check out the egghead over here".

my Project Hail Mary headcanon: all the other astrophage-infected exoplanets follow this incremental geo-engineering approach - eg IR-emitting moon/satellite? - because only Earth & Eridani have been captured by a military-industrial obsession with manned spaceflight
This raises the very good question of why not just use astrophage to heat the Earth to make up for the solar shortfall? It's an excellent high-powered infrared lamp, after all.

haven't read Artemis but for some reason I think of Andy Weir's work as more "techno-thriller" than "hard scifi" - from the films, Crichton seems to prefer small-scale drama (unexpected threat overruns high-tech facility) over eg an extrapolated society?

in some ways, Project Hail Mary confirms "any sufficiently workshopped near-future space odyssey is indistinguishable from Arthur C Clarke's", although...
why are there more movie adaptations of PKD stories than Clarke, Asimov and Heinlein's *put together*?

a) I don't know much about Chuck Norris, but at least he inspired this page about a (different) Dave Green

b) Google now suggests there are multiple ongoing Dave/David Green Awards, raising the possibility of an award for the best?

thanks Yoz - I think I directed people there for many years as it captured my essence far better than any self-written bio, until it was finally overtaken by SEO-friendly listicle formats:

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special celebration. It was a night to remember! Relive some of the highlights from an unforgettable night - flic.kr/s/aHBqjCC2Nj

also free - with ads - interesting docu about (situationist?) artists who create a unofficial living space in a Rhode Island shopping centre - although also a missed opportunity to record a "Secret Mall Apartment" song to the tune of Champagne Supernova
