I've learned so much about the amazing talent of Tom Stoppadd today. RIP
Tom Stoppard was a brilliant writer with a nice handful or two of theatrical masterpieces, but his adaptation of Le Carré's THE RUSSIA HOUSE for film is an underrated wonder of screenwriting craftsmanship.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

This was on one of Shudder's channels for a while and I would always stick around to watch a scene or two. The makeup for the cult is really upsetting.
Today's recommendation is very special...
The Devil's Rain (1975)!
Starring William Shatner, from Kingdom of the Spiders and uh... some small show called Star Trek, and Ernest Borgnine, this is a tale of good and evil.
Thrills and twists with this one - machete's up! 🔪🔪🔪
Still on Shudder too!

we've outsourced the broad concept of focus-testing to social media metrics, and it's just shifted the same old problem to new areas. if you put your ear next to slop you'll only hear slop.

it's certainly been frustrating to see devs say more and more "sorry guys but we need to make our games shout out every thing and handhold every last point so that someone who doesn't give a fuck about it can sleepwalk through it"
like why pander to people who, essentially, do not like your work?
