I guess genai is not super popular here, but ai has made me excited to build websites again for the first time in years. Getting the same vibes I felt as a kid building my first website about my family, with Sims avatars for pictures, as we didn’t have a digital camera.

Hackers is basically Fast and the Furious for computer nerds and I love it. Was a bit too young to see it in cinema when it released. Will be rectified soon thanks to @princecharlescinema.com. qino.app/showtime/sR8...

An amazing opportunity to catch Stanley Kubrick’s masterpieces on one of the biggest screens in Europe. BFI IMAX is screening 6 of the late directors classics from July to November, including an “unrestored” 70mm print of 2001: A Space Odyssey supervised by Christopher Nolan.

Probably the most excited I’ve been for an IMAX release. Hope this makes it to BFI in London. 🤞

Despite the AI controversy, last nights 70mm screening of The Brutalist in Picturehouse Central was sold out. I found it quite the epic. Also further convinced me that cinemas/films need to bring back the intermission.
