I think it speaks to the craft of Alec Gillis that he's been involved in pretty much every entry of the Predator and Alien franchises.
His work with Amalgamated Dynamics and beyond is some of the best visual effects work in film.

“[Gillis] started on the original Predator movie and has worked on almost all of the Predator and Alien franchise,” the director added. “We met on Prey and have continued even through the animated film Killer of Killers, and [we] had a really special experience on Badlands.”
Predator: Badlands’ Creature Designer Reveals “Big Challenge” of Bringing the Yautja to Life

Do Spotify and others do this? Scaffolding Man and Hollywood Smile are by different bands, the former from the Isle of Wight the latter from Germany, but they have the same name so are presented as one artist on Amazon Music.

Bright Winter sun, but it's also bloody cold.
I've noticed the frames on my sunglasses get super cold really quick which isn't great. How do people that wear glasses deal with Winter? ❄️

Just discovered the BG stats app and if you a) are a data nerd and b) play board games a lot, this is excellent. Play enough games and you can get a percentage breakdown of who won the most, the most played game, etc.
PS. It's well worth the cost of a coffee. #boardgamesky 🎲 📉 🤓

Last night I watched Black Sheep. What if something that's innocuous, in this case sheep, became a vicious predator? Within this context writer/director Jonathan King reframes simple shots of a flock of sheep coming down a hill as blackly comical nightmarish bucolic horror. 🐏 💀 🎬 #filmsky

Fair play to her for this. Out the other day and a cyclist shouted out at me and a friend for crossing the road when the traffic lights were red.
Good on her. I cycle to work in the City and not sure which of my routes feels sketchier: riding through Bank junction, or crossing Upper Thames at the top of Southwark Bridge. Both are lousy with people who barely know how to handle a bike shooting through reds giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

I'm reminded of Garforth train station which only got step free access in mid 2024 after probably decades of campaigning from various MPs and others.
At least there the bridge being of historical significance was part of the reason.

My friend did not have the best start to the New Year. After visiting someone's place they got stuck in a lift around 3am. Luckily their friend discovered their meter key also opens the lift.

I stumbled across a film called Savageland this evening. I'll get a review up on Letterboxd tomorrow. Meanwhile this from @sarahjomiles.bsky.social highlights why a film from 2015 you've probably never heard of is arguably one of the best horror films of recent years.

Sarah Miles explains how 'Savageland' uses the faux documentary subgenre to craft a perfect political horror story for modern America.

Good job lads. We really do have an impressive talent for pissing money away on infrastructure projects in the most stupid ways. I'm reminded of the massive bridge that will never be used.

the thing is, “differing political views” used to be about what percentage to tax high earners and not whether brown people are humans
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.

Just seen someone stood on a e-scooter with headlights and a big speaker balanced on it. That's not a nasty accident waiting to happen at all.

Guardian not even mentioning artist Francisco Solan López in their bit on The Eternaut and saying it's based on a novel is really quite the spectacular fail. I mean, is it really that hard for people to spend 5 seconds googling something for an article? www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I remain convinced the cafe in the Corn Exchange is massively overrated and only popular due to its location. The coffee is crap and the food is overpriced and underwhelming.

I've done the thing where I saw a book I wanted on here but now can't remember the title/author. A big hardback history science book published this year that had something like mammoth skeleton on the cover. #booksky
